Fashionably CURATED

Roni Lang's home in Deal, situated above her clothing store, is every bit as creative and stylish as you'd expect from a fashion designer

Set on Deal's buzzing high street, which is well known for its independent retailers housed in period properties, is an intriguing fashion store and an equally eclectic and visually thrilling home upstairs.

It's clear that the owner of this Georgian apartment is a confident stylist - with a love of mixing things up.

The property's unusually spacious proportions are the result of the amalgamation of two Georgian houses, one above Roni Lang's shop - called Mrs Lang - and the rest spreading over the top of the shop next door.

This makes for a strikingly bright property with lots of walls and corners crying out to be embellished. 'I was absolutely, utterly determined to move to Deal,' Roni says.
