Introducing the interior design innovator, Jane Churchill
|
|
A prominent name in the world of interior design, Jane Churchill joins us for an exclusive, tell-all Q&A.
With a host of inspiring tips thrown in for good measure, Jane’s invaluable advice is here to transform the way you illuminate your home.
|
|
Take us right back to the beginning… When did you first realise you had an ‘eye’ for interior design, and how much influence did your connection to the great Nancy Lancaster have on you?
Both Nancy Lancaster who was my great aunt, and my great-great aunt Nancy Astor were a big influence. I grew up surrounded by the good taste and style that migrated with them to England; one of my earliest memories is of Christmas at Cliveden (Nancy Astor’s house) when I was four.
Turning their original recipes into my book Entertaining Lives gave me a real insight into their sense of humour and love of entertaining. It was a wonderful project.

Any home lighting tips you’d like to share with our readers?
Up lights in shelves and alcoves create such a lovely atmosphere. Layering lighting in a room is essential which is why I always like to have everything planned out.

|
Finally, do you have a favourite Pooky light (and if so, why that one?)
There’s so much choice with Pooky that I often find what I’m looking for before I know what I’m looking for! If I had to choose a favourite it would probably be the Lottie table lamp. It’s simple but the stripes add some interest and it goes with a whole plethora of shades of any colour. The Cosmo pink Dorian floor lamp is very eye-catching as well!
