The living room

"Most of the cushions and throws in our living room are from Morocco, the souks have so many beautiful fabrics and prints. I love the light in the living room, our road is lined with some beautiful big trees and each season is echoed in the light which streams into the room."

The living room

"I love the marble hands, which were once in a Roman church… and now sit on our Ikea (must find a new one) media stand. One day, we hope to have a store which they will be a part of. The photos scattered on the record player are from a photo album job we started a few months ago (must get that finished)."

The living room

"This marble coffee table was a birthday present from my mum from a little shop in East London. It weighs an absolute tonne; Joel had to come collect us in a van to get us home. The rug was a lockdown purchase from Vinterior, it makes the room really cosy which is great now we are going into winter."

The living room

"The print in this shot is a special gift from a friend, Lucy Laucht, which was taken on her dad's camera of my two favourite places in Australia, my native home. I found the throw on the chair while we were in Morocco on a sourcing tour and the table is from Crystal Palace market. You can squeeze two on the chair, so usually it's where Joel and I end up when friends come over."

The study

"This is a surprisingly tidy shot of our office, normally the floor is covered with clippings and inspiration from our latest collections. The print leaning against the wall is actually a rug from Mexico that we got framed. The more ornate frame and artwork on the wall was a wedding present from a dear friend."

The bedroom

"We tackled our bedroom during the first lockdown. It was a labour of love, but we are so happy with the results. We worked with Farrow & Ball on the colours. The bed frame is from Trove and I’m obsessed with it. We buy a lot of our bedding from Tielle, it’s such lovely quality. I made the bedside lights using bases I found on eBay and a lamp-making kit. Our bedside tables are our own. Mine is always a mess, overflowing with magazines, while Joel’s has a single book and a lamp."

The bedroom

The kitchen

"Our funny little kitchen has had the least love into terms of design, but it's full of love in lots of other ways. The fridge, which is covered and layered with Polaroids, is essentially our journal and has been since we moved in October 2016. The Roberts radio was a wedding gift and is always the first thing we put on each morning. Joel took this photo and didn’t get rid of our lovely washing up liquid or my breakfast eggs, but that’s the thing about home, it’s never perfect and always feels like a work in progress."
