Curating my home with pieces from Farfetch
I recently had the opportunity to do a short interview with Farfetch talking about my home in California. I shopped the current homeware collection on their website to fill my abode with special pieces. I selected my favorite scented candle, a wood cutting board (which I will have forever) and a marble doorstop that is perfect for letting the ocean breeze in.
Describe your home interior styling
My fiancé and I live in a little home near the beach. Our lifestyle is heavily influenced by the ocean and being in the sunshine, so we love where we live and being just a quick drive to the Californian sand. We spend a lot of time at home, so having a space we love is sacred. I am drawn to Mediterranean interiors, natural textures and colors — our home reflects that. We went to the south of France last summer and I was inspired by the hotel we stayed at (Hôtel Les Roches Rouges). I brought that inspiration back home with me. The majority of the pieces in my home are all vintage or pre-owned. I found the most beautiful Picasso exhibition poster with the original frame hidden in the back of a vintage shop near my home. My coffee table is a vintage marble piece and tucked next to it is a hand carved, vintage Spanish table I found at a consignment store. Every piece tells a story.
How does the Michael Verheyden Doorstopper complement your home decor?
The Michael Verheyden door stop is so beautiful. I love this piece because of its natural material and color. We have a small atrium in the center of our home and we love to allow the fresh breeze to come through. Before we had a beach stone holding the door open, but this is an elevated upgrade. Depending on the day — if I am sitting in the garden, watering plants or relaxing on my couch inside — keeping the door propped open is so nice. I love the weight of this door stop as well, and I know it won’t fall over with a strong breeze.
Can you share your home styling and decorating tips?
When it comes to home styling, less is more! I think the most beautiful homes are the ones where everything has a place — almost as if each item you have is a work of art. Collect pieces every time you travel to cherish. Choose natural materials and those that will leave little to no impact on the environment. Make your home cozy and inviting, and always leave the windows open for lots of fresh air.
