Interiors and Beauty Director of The Sunday Times Style, Phoebe McDowell invites us into her London flat to show how she put everything she’s learnt as a journalist to use and maximised a small footprint through smart storage solutions and a clever use of a tight colour scheme.
Having waded through a renovation that ended up being far more than just cosmetic, Phoebe has shaped her home around a passion for hosting. From the striking Rosso Levanto marble in the kitchen to the matte blue bedroom, colour-drenched to disguise the higgledy-piggledy shape, each stylish room rejects the sterility of a show home in favour of cosy comfort and lived-in charm.
Join us for a house tour with our very own interiors director as she shows us how to elevate the indisputably boring, explains why mixing inherited Vico Magistretti pieces with market finds creates the ultimate sanctuary and why life begins when you stop worrying about the odd scuff and stain.
