Isabelle’s interest in interiors started when her family renovated some historic barn buildings at their home in The New Forest. This inspired her to study interior design at university where Isabelle was particularly drawn to working with period buildings and residential design. Isabelle loves to explore how different textures, colours and patterns can bring a room to life and spends much of her spare time exploring the new forest on her horses, where she takes inspiration from the stunning natural scenery.
