An entry hall has one job: to tell you immediately whose home you’ve walked into. Farrow & Ball “Pink Ground” on the walls, a red lacquered shelf, a navy Moorish mirror. The styling allowed me to get deeper into the story. The books I am passionate about. The objet d’art that takes pride of place. These were decisions that took about thirty seconds and twenty years to make. It is what sets the tone for who I am before you ever meet me.
