Which interior designers do you admire?it is not that I don't like it, it is fun in a way, I just don't get the esthetic of it
its like a puzzle, I am trying to find some predictors and common denominators of what to expect next, or why the previous stuff is there, but so far she buys anything outrageously expensive, collectible, antique (something that would have value if restored - nothing wrong with that) but it just doesn't go together
if you take the pieces and put them in different homes than it would make more sense, some of them you should get rid of altogether (there is a lots of kitsch and I dont mean the gifts)
so far to me it is not design risk (I really wanted itto be) but more like no taste of spoiled girl (it is all brands all value some memorabilia - we bought it somewhere with my father... but no coherence or style)
this brings me to the thought since she has home in London and one in SA, she still might restore the manor till she finds a baron, till the patreon money flows, till the naive volunteers put the work in, then sell it and make a serious buck on it as was the original plan
What are your cultural reference points for interior design?
I think we probably both agree Stephanie’s style is totally unique to her
Definitely one of Stephanie’s reference points is English eclectic! Hence the occasional hodge podge room
