‘The bookcase is the focal point,’ says Rayman. ‘I love blue because it makes me happy, but it’s also universal. There isn’t a bad shade.’

early on in his 25-year-plus career in interior design, Rayman Boozer was dubbed the ‘Colour Guru’ by Time Out New York and looking into his one-bedroom apartment, it’s not hard to see why. With an overarching theme of blue, the mainly open-plan space is saturated in bold hues, fabrics, art and souvenirs from a globe-trotting life.
