"So, what’s your story?" – my clients often ask me when I first meet them. Don’t we all hate this question? My answer to this is likely to be all over the place, rather than an elevator pitch! To be honest, the response depends on the person asking the questions. I can come across as a mother, a thinker, a dreamer or a designer who is in love with that she is doing! I can also be so much more. It’s surprising that this question mostly comes up when I meet with people outside my home. When I have them over, my home tells my story. A picture speaks a thousand words as they say. My home has often been my showroom (if there ever was any) or my window to the outside world, showcasing my passion and love for my work. At home, the conversation often shifts to the way I have designed my abode. Friends take great interest in the artwork, the personalised pictures, the intricate details behind the furnishing or sometimes even the design of the mirror and where it is placed in the house! It helps that they can know me on a personal level. I feel content and happy when someone says “this piece of furniture, choice of fabric / furnishing or colour combination looks so right here.” As a designer, this leaves me with a big smile on my face. I want my home to tell my story and to represent me for what I am and for what I stand for. Put simply, our homes are an amalgamation of our choices and behaviours over time. They showcase our personalities and the stage of lives we are in. They basically say "this is who I am"
