Show Notes
The devil is in the detail for the three interior designers in this episode of The Well-crafted Life. Each of these creatives exemplifies that craftsmanship and bespoke design should be at the heart of creating beautiful spaces. We cover cooking and kitchen gardens, treasured memories, lockdown hacks and the small changes that make a big difference.
Meet our guests Although interior designer Susie Atkinson is perhaps best known for her commercial work, including Babington House, Beaverbrook hotel and Lime Wood, all her projects are all imbued with a deep sense of comfort and customisation. Here she paints a lovely picture of her home and focuses on what's important, from colour to creativity.
Charu Gandhi is the founder and director of Elicyon. She has coined the phrase 'interior couture' to describe the studio's style, sharing in this podcast how her home taps in to that. She also tells us her most treasured design memories and offers insight into the importance of natural light and a well-made bed.
Eclectic, collected, original and striking best describes Linda Boronkay's approach to style. The former design director of Soho House set up on her own last summer and is now working on exciting projects internationally. She opens up about her life in London with her family, her collected treasures and the little ways she lifts her spirits everyday.
