HOME & PROPERTY

Tell us more about the house. How did you find it? What was it that sealed the deal for you? Our lovely agent Nadia Ederer (who I highly recommend) helped us find it. She’s the kindest, most patient and upbeat person ever, a real gem. Christopher Quek oversees the property and he is the nicest and kindest man you’ll meet. When we visited this house, I immediately knew it was the perfect one for our family. From Chris’s welcoming, to the big garden, the in-ground pool, the Balinese master bathroom, the big living room, the kitchen, the English doors – they all sealed the deal for me. We really feel thankful to be living here. How would you define your style when it comes to interiors and décor? In one sentence: the Hamptons meets European chic. I love the mix of coastal vibes that I find so calming, comfortable and clean, intermingled with the old world, polished detail of the European style.

What’s your favourite part of the house and why? I would say my home desk that looks out onto the garden where I get to watch the kids and the dog play when they are outside. I find it deeply anchoring and it never fails to bring me back to the “now” – that is, to that which really matters! Where do you source your furniture anddécor from? That’s a very simple and straightforward answer! Aside from our family pieces, I source our furniture and décor almost exclusively from Nina Beale at Bungalow 55. (I also have a few pieces from Originals.) Nina is such an exceptional lady – genuine, smart, hard-working and oh-so-talented. I adore both her and her style. If I could, I literally would buy every piece in her Dempsey shop and her online store! She has such an “eye” and she makes her craft look so effortless. She decorated our home with such ease and made the whole process so much fun. Nina is a real pearl, I couldn’t recommend her more.
