Make-it-yourself home

When did your interest in interiors start?

Growing up, my twin and I shared a room. We divided it with wicker screens so we could each decorate our own side! When I went to uni to study interior architecture, I couldn’t wait to have my own room for the first time. I’ll always love changing and updating things. Wherever I live, it will never be ‘finished’ – that’s just not me.

Describe your style?

I’ve always loved traditional, country style – I can’t help it. My friends all have more modern styles and I really like their ideas. But in this old house, traditional feels right.

How do you approach interior design?

I love finding inspiration in other people’s homes, but I don’t want my home to look the same as everyone else’s, so I always make changes to things. IKEA is great for that because it’s so easy to make it your own.
