MEET THE DESIGNER

Stephanie Dunning shares her style inspiration

GO-TO COLOUR Paint & Paper Library’s Slate.

SECRET ADDRESS Salisbury Antiques Centre.

BIGGEST INDULGENCE Joinery – it’s a complete game-changer when really well done.

GREATEST SUCCESS Making the kitchen, sitting, and dining area, and open-plan space.

SMALL CHANGE, BIG IMPACT Painting the papier-mâché ceilings in slightly deeper tones brought them alive. When white they looked like polystyrene!

WHAT’S THE NEXT GAME CHANGER IN DESIGN Definitely sustainability and the reuse and upcycling of clients’ own items or going to a supplier that does just that.

DESIGN HERO Rita Konig. I love her gentle style, which always seems to be sympathetic to whichever project she is working on.

WORDS TO LIVE BY One could always do better.

LAST THING YOU BOUGHT FOR YOUR HOME A huge Volga Linen tablecloth – it’s sooo gorgeous. We are a huge family.
