When it comes to the styling of her own home, Monique is constantly re-assessing and looking at ways she can improve or add to it. As a creative, it’s essential that Monique’s home keeps her feeling inspired and happy.
How do you use your own home as inspiration?
MONIQUE: I love layering decor and adding new pieces to my house as I collect them. Whether it’s a new coffee table book, throw for my bed or artwork (I’ve actually just spent my weekend sourcing some indoor plants and a piece of art for my dining area). I find that refreshing these small things from time to time keeps the home interesting and keeps me inspired.
Above all of that, a couple simple things that keep me feeling good and happy in my home is ensuring things are organised, tidy and uncluttered - I can’t function in a messy environment! I love natural light and am really lucky that my house gets a lot of it, so keeping the blinds and windows open instantly makes the house feel warm and inviting.
As a self-confessed inspiration hoarder, Monique finds herself regularly scrolling through Pinterest, Instagram and other designers portfolios such as Tasmin Johnson, for creative ideas.
