I really do love beautiful interiors – even better spending an entire day in beautiful interiors. It is so inspiring, and slightly worrying when I come back for my better half. Marc has had to listen to many of my thoughts on changing our interiors, stripes, no stripe – maybe wallpaper. Maybe not. Can one be too inspired? Lisa, who runs Studio Cleary, has just got such an inspiring home. I could already see me there, reading all the magazines, and sipping even more wine, more than we may have consumed that day alone.
Lisa and I actually met in our previous life – in financial services in fact. We shared an office together when I was wondering whether Marc would ever propose, and then perhaps to a pod when we moved to new offices in the City. It might explain the amount of wine we needed to drink whilst we were revisiting the world of finance and meetings, and together, wondering what life looks like without finance.
Studio Cleary aesthetic is influenced by Scandinavian and modern mid-century design. The studio’s palettes and textures are truly inspired by nature to create an immersive depth and warmth. Her outdoor space is just absolutely stunning, and making the very most of a London garden. I love the messiness and yet the calming structure of it all.
I hope to be able to share more home tours very soon – I love meeting the inspirational women behind interior designers, their creativity and raw talent, and, of course, their homes!
