Amber Clery has lovingly curated her characterful home to reflect an enduring passion for travel and thrifting
-
Amber Clery's home maps her lifelong love of travel better than any journal or photo album could. Café Tortoni prints brought back from Buenos Aires call to mind a once-in-a-lifetime trip on which she and her husband got engaged 12 years ago. A shell bowl found at a market in Lake Garda is a reminder of a favourite family holiday. And an antique carved Indian panel unearthed at a salvage yard in Somerset holds the happiest memories of a trip there with her father.
‘I’ve been obsessed with interiors since I was a child,’ Amber says. ‘Long before I had my own home or business, I was hunting and gathering.’ The founder of online lifestyle emporium Amber • Willow once carried a handwoven wall hanging in her backpack around South America for three months. ‘I couldn’t leave it behind,’ she admits.
