There is an understated cool to New York interior stylist Colin King that pervades everything he touches. Maybe it’s because he gets it all just right while looking like he’s not trying too hard. Everything he styles – and now designs – appears as if it was organically meant to be that way, including his own home. Sought after as a creative director by leading brands such as Zara Home, Anthropologie and West Elm (which is huge in the States) and with his own lines at Beni Rugs and MENU, he – and his work – come across as authentic and natural.
Self-taught, with creative genes that were always there – he was a ballet dancer as a teenager – he believes in ideas evolving as they progress. ‘I approached the design of the apartment by trial and error, similarly to how I approach most of my styling and creative work,’ he says. ‘I experimented over and over again with paint colours and furniture layouts until it clicked and the space felt like a home I was excited to come back to.’
