Take your time and combine a mix of pieces you truly love, advises Payne, who also researches Instagram and Pinterest for ideas and inspiration. “Designing a home to be unique and personal to you and a reflection of your life, is what makes a house a home,” she adds.


ROMANCE THE ROOM “While I love vivid and cheerful hues in other people’s homes, I prefer a soſter palette for my own. I find that aſter travelling around the world for my work, I need a soothing, peaceful romantic environment, where I can reflect on everything I have seen and regroup,” says O’Neill. “I wanted to conjure an uncomplicated, dreamy mood and beautiful blues always have


that effect on me. In addition, a soſt palette makes a beautiful backdrop to layer with personal items. I like rooms to tell a story, but also feel playful yet restful.” She oſten experiments with colours, furniture arrangement and accessories, and says: “Te look of my home is ever changing but it shows my true spirit. I am a romantic and hearts are my greatest weakness. I love elements that have a human connection to them. Tey bring a unique dimension and an artful addition to any space.”
