Q&A
with Angela Radcliffe
MY DECORATING STYLE IS: I like mixing Italian and French 20th century classics with contemporary.
A CLEVER IDEA FOR OTHER HOMEOWNERS: Try to let as much natural light in as possible. This is a challenge in London.
BEST DECORATING TIP: Keep it simple and not too many patterns. Don’t overdress the rooms.
BEST BUDGET TIP: Spread out your showcase pieces so you don’t need so many to satisfy the house.
MY FAVOURITE APPLIANCE: A Nespresso machine in my bedroom for morning coffee.
THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK IS: Pour a glass of rosé on the rocks!
FAVOURITE HOUSEHOLD CHORE: Table-scaping for dinner parties.
THE HOUSE IS ECO-FRIENDLY BECAUSE: Colin always tries to source eco-friendly products from sustainable suppliers, such as ethical timber merchants.
IF THERE WAS ONE THING WE COULD DO DIFFERENTLY IT WOULD BE: Digging down for a wine cellar.
THE HOME IMPROVEMENT THAT CAUSED THE MOST DEBATE: The size of the opening going into the rear garden – UK planning laws are very difficult.
FAVOURITE OUTDOOR SPOT: It’s half and half, both indoors and outdoors – when it’s hot outside and the bifolding doors are open and the striped awning is down.
