10 Things A Cool Florist Is Buying For Her Home
Background
I'm a floral designer based in east London. My approach to floristry is very naturalistic but extremely design led. After graduating in Illustration from Camberwell (UAL) I went into modelling for a few years. During that time, I started to explore the idea of combining my love of nature and fashion and design. It seemed to click – floristry meets fashion meets design.
Style & Inspiration
My approach to interiors isn't dissimilar to my approach to floral design. I can take inspiration from anything around me – a painting, a memory of a holiday, a building. It can be anything and it can be eclectic, but it must be harmonious.
10 Things Christie Has Her Eye On Right Now
My friend Louisa set up Colours Of Arley less than two years ago and I couldn't love it more. You choose your colours, the stripe or pattern, and the fabric. They even do these beautiful dog cushions, which I'm getting for my dog Nova in herb and opal to brighten up her wicker dog basket.
Santa Maria Novella’s scented pillar candle in Tobacco is one of my favourite scents ever. I love Santa Maria Novella so much – the candles, the soaps, the fragrances... all of it.
I love this shelving unit. It's the perfect backdrop to any empty wall space and it's practical. I plan to use it for my books but also to display nice home bits, such as vases and incense.
Almost everything Pouf sells is beautiful and this cutlery set is no exception. As the cosy season rolls in, I think this would be the perfect table update.
I have nowhere to put this revolving bookcase sourced by Spazio Leone, but that doesn’t matter. I do have lots of books though, and I'm looking into ways to store them – but I'd rather have this.
I collect rare books, especially ones that focus on flowers as the main subject. But I still don’t own this yet.
This bed would complete my bedroom; it's the last piece of the puzzle. I love the tone of the wood, which would add warmth to the space, but the more modern shape feels light and contemporary.
Obviously, vases are a big part of my life, and of course I love Murano. This one would be the perfect addition to my growing collection.
Anousha is a good friend of mine, and I sometimes sit in her studio just to soak up her paintings and sculptures.

Roasts are a big thing in our house – so naturally I need a good gravy boat.
