In this episode we define quirky interiors and metaphorically unpack how so many arbitrary ideas, such as random collections and eccentric objects, can really define you, and how mixing periods of style creates a decorative look which is unique to you. Collections are as the name implies: collecting objects over time, and that is half of the fun of owning a collection: you don’t generally have a collection overnight.
Curiosity killed the cat, … Sam and Naomi! Sometimes it’s important to know when to stop, give your objects sufficient space to allow them to breathe, and yet one’s space needs to reflect your personality.
Creating something unique makes a space intriguing and keeps us grounded. We talk about quirky spaces which cleverly use colour, but also feel that sometimes you have to draw the line between making an art statement just for the sake of it as opposed to creating a quirky interior to tell a story about you.
Building collections needs to relate to you.
It’s capturing a moment in time which you want to relive through your own space, and then elevating an object. We discuss how we like lamps in the kitchen that give pools of light and a touch of frivolity; and how self-expression is commonly a question of having the confidence to reflect one’s personality in a space.
We both embrace the unexpected in different ways: Sam collects cruet sets, baskets from around the globe and unusual fabric; whilst Naomi has a bit of a soft spot for taxidermy: crocodiles, monkey skulls and turtle shells abound in her interiors!
Join us as we explore this thought-provoking topic. As always there are endless anecdotes and laughter, so boil the kettle, flick the switch on the Nespresso machine and pull up a chair ;)
