I am sure many of you will be aware of Dawn Crosbie of Interiorismo, who is renowned for creating homes and interiors that are not only beautifully stylish but also always comfortable places to be in.

However, for those of you who are not familiar with Dawn, she has rubbed shoulders with some famous names during her working life, always enjoying a challenge and experiencing a fascinating career path that has taken her from the corridors of Kensington Palace to the court of Queen Noor of Jordan and many amazing places in between.

I asked what is in vogue at the minute and she said,  “Considered, Humble, Natural and Modesty are words that are cropping up a lot in the Interior design world. Gone are the OTT, pretentious, glitzy possessions of the free credit Era. The essentials are what are important now,” she explained.

She went on to add, “‘Up-cycled’ materials that are gentler on the eye – wood, wool, paper, cork, and unpolished stone have seen a resurgence into the home interior. Long lasting materials that you will love for a lifetime, used in the new blue and olive tones with zingy yellows, limes and oranges. Perfectly updated palettes for the clear Mediterranean skies.”
