The Home of Orla Kiely

It is always interesting to see homes of designers, especially a successful one like Orla Kiely, and how they translate their design style from their work to their home.
Kiely has transformed this three storey Victorian house in Clapham, London, into a home for her family by using great colours like olive, ochre and grey on the walls and shots of vibrant colours with furniture and objects. I like the pared down Scandinvian feel of the home along with the nostalgic touches of Kiely's textiles.
