Interiors & Design
Home interiors and interior design positively thrives in Britain as we are blessed with a plethora of excellent interior designers, while many of the world’s best wallpapers, paints, fabrics, antiques and home accessories are also produced in the UK. These advantages mean that the British householder is spoilt for choice with such an enormous range to choose from; consequently almost any colour scheme and look can be indulged.
Design and fine art courses are very popular, especially in London where it is possible to study almost anything. Education enhances the quality of our lifestyles especially if we have the courage to approach completely new subjects, for with increased knowledge our confidence soars and we become all the more hungry for new skills. Skills which can improve and greatly enhance the style of our homes beyond our dreams.
As it is probably the major focus for culture and style in the world, London is a particularly good centre to specialise in decorative and fine art studios. The keen student with only a couple of days or a week to spare might consider attending one of the excellent design schools which normally have a ‘hands on’ approach and encourage their students to experiment and really make use of what they have learnt. All these establishments are easily reached by black cab and they usually include a light lunch and tea or coffee in their fee.
Other important ways to absorb and enjoy English décor, furniture and style are to attend several of the plethora of antique fairs, roam around stately homes or visit some of the better fine arts auctions, learning the true value of everything from the magnificent to the obscure. Renowned London auction houses that hold regular sales are Bonhams, Christie’s, Phillips, Sotheby’s and Spink & Son.
