‘The Downstairs Loo’.
I remember when I first moved to Milan to open my design studio, constantly seeing the blank faces when mentioning this particular place in the house - quickly followed by the surprise at me insisting this was of course where the clients favourite wallpaper should be. I hadn’t quite appreciated how ‘very english’ it was of me to assume that everyone see’s their guest loo as an opportunity to perhaps be a little braver or create a fun conversation starter.
I’m pleased to say, I have won over my European clients and contractors and brought a little touch of englishness to the projects we do over here. I thought I would share a couple of my favourites, both UK and beyond.
