LOOKING BACK
Since early childhood, I've always had an interest in interior design. I remember receiving a beautiful dolls' house for my birthday and spending hours fashioning wallpapers from magazine cuttings and soft furnishings from old curtains to decorate it. My parents' careers also played their part. My father is an art historian and my mother a paediatrician and part-time interior designer. We spent our weekends in antiques shops and holidays in art galleries across Europe.
