Why did you apply to take part in the show?
“My main aim for going on Interior Design Masters was to show other guys that interior design is something you can be interested in — it shouldn’t be judged or boxed in. Having a space where you can switch off, escape and feel comfortable is something everyone needs.”
In three words, what is your design style?
“Relaxed, Punchy, Contrasting.”
What’s your favourite design trend that will stand the test of time?
“Warm wood panelling is something that will last a lifetime. The natural connection it creates with the outdoors is unmatched. And the outdoors isn’t going to disappear anytime soon.”
If you could design for any famous figure, who would you pick and why?
“I’d have to pick Ayrton Senna. Imagine the fun of curating all his trophies, helmets and memorabilia. Taking his energy from the track and translating that into a space would be really special.”
Interior Design Masters airs Tuesdays at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
