Q & A with Fathima…

Where do you find inspiration?
I enjoy botanical, floral styles so I look to nature quite a lot for inspiration. I’m also inspired by talented illustrators and designers online and that inspires me to constantly work at improvement.

Your current colour crush…
I’ve never been a fan of anything shiny, but have recently been uncharacteristically drawn to the shimmery side and am loving rose gold. Also love the combination of green and bronze.

The favourite part of your job…
Hearing feedback from happy clients and positive comments from blog readers makes me really happy. It’s so rewarding to be able to inspire someone or share happiness via my blog, and to be able to help my clients realise their business goals with design that suits their needs.

Your interiors style…
I’d say… eclectic, haha. I like having lots of things around me that I find special or interesting so that ends up in a bit of a mish-mash of all sorts of things. I feel like if I look at any small section of my space, it reflects my personality.

Your perfect day…
My perfect day would involve being outdoors amongst lush green trees and animals, a cool breeze, some good reading material, some doodling, and good coffee with yummy treats.

Dream buy…
Oooh… short term realistic dream buy would be a car upgrade. A more ambitious, long term, one-day dream buy (or buys) would be a trip around the world.

Which is your favourite social media platform?
It used to be Twitter, but is now Instagram.
