Design to the max

Singer, actress and creative polymath Paloma Faith tells Rosamund Dean how her new interiors collection is bringing pattern and joy back to the fore

‘Vintage, eclectic, bohemian vomit,’ says Paloma Faith, with a dramatic pause between each word. I’d asked her to describe the style of her London home, and it’s a subject she seizes with relish. ‘I became quite fanatical about doing up my house,’ she explains. ‘People thought I had an interior designer, but it was all from eBay and antiques festivals. Pre-Covid, I travelled a lot and I’d often buy another suitcase to bring back pictures and vases.’ Luckily, she has a great eye. ‘I love it when people tell me they would never have thought to put all these clashing things together yet it looks warm, and like a home.’
