BECCA INTERIORS

Owner and principal designer Becca Casey grew up in the English countryside, before eventually moving to the other side of the Atlantic and launching her design career in New York City. Currently based in Connecticut where she leads her interior design firm, Becca brings her style - rooted here in the UK - to homes across the US.

Weaving vintage and custom designs with warm tonal finishes, she finds inspiration from many sources, including her travels back home to the UK and to other destinations. I think my work is unique in that it blends British and American influences,' says Becca. 'Though we may have rich focus on patina and traditional English silhouettes, we are nuanced in serene backdrops and often play with scale, similar to styles you would find on the West Coast of the US.
