People often are confused or disagree when I say that “trendy can be timeless.” I firmly believe that a space can have edgy elements as well as classic components. This bewilders some people who often pigeon hole their design style, but It is possible to have a home that is refined and fun. You don’t have to choose!

I love the casual and eclectic ambience of this London fashion editor’s chic and trendy townhouse. With the help of interior designer Hubert Zandberg, the atmosphere of this townhouse was created using flea market finds and classic pieces to develop an edgy elegance. It is a stray from my often distinct Potted Boxwood style, but it still maintains its worldly and enduring appeal.
