Amber Clery has created a cosy, bohemian home filled with unusual finds gathered from her travels across the world

There are three things Amber Clery is great at: interior design, wedding styling and treasure hunting. For years she's been passionately sourcing and unearthing unique pieces of furniture and decorative items. And, last year, she took the plunge and launched her own home and lifestyle collection, Amber + Willow (Willow is the name of her seven-year-old daughter). 'I love searching for objects that spark a memory and add magic to a space,' she says. 'I have a particular weakness for anything with a time-worn patina or an unusual feel.' Amber's home, in the rolling hills of the Irish countryside, was built just over a decade ago, yet is inspired by Georgian architecture. Despite the classic architecture that Amber and her husband, Mick, decided on, the interior is much more bohemian and modern. It's a look that suits family life well. 'I'm drawn to different styles and love adding playful touches,' she says. "But, most importantly, we wanted to create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at ease.' She explains that the home will never be finished because they are constantly collecting things that tell their story, picking up items on their travels or at local flea markets.
