Inside A Designer's Home Filled With Unusual Objects

“I think I’m a bit of a hoarder,” says Charlotte Taylor softly, as she runs her fingers through a bag of some 600 lighters. “These have become such an obsession that even my business card is a lighter.” This collecting habit of hers has made our visit to her home in the suburbs of London all the more interesting. Every white-walled space is filled with intriguing objects galore – from impractical wooden tools to piles of sudoku books (“I have them in every single room of my house, even the bathroom”). But think again if you’re imagining nooks and crannies crammed with thoughtless knick-knacks. Charlotte’s interiors are highly considered and beautifully curated, defined by a palette of calming neutrals. See for yourself: join us as she shows us around in our latest film and selects just seven of her favourite things.

I have followed Charlotte on IG for years, shes one of my favorite interior designers and is so relieving to see her actual energy and her intimate space.

It's beautiful and the objects are so well chosen ! You are not a hoarder, but rather a curator. Well done!

[imcuriousdotcom]

She's so intriguing, from the get go! I enjoyed this, also, I think she's probably excellent at giving presents!

Picking unusual items to be part of your home is somehow speaks about the character of the home owner as someone who sees beauty in a different perspective. 💖✨

Love her style and I can so relate to the love she has for her cherished possessions.

She said she’s becoming a bit of a hoarder. She’s the cleanest hoarder I’ve ever seen 😅

The hammer and lipstick knife are amazing!

[rdevans]

I want that cabinet of curiosities, absolutely exquisite.

[jennycampbell]

A wonderful collection of interesting objects and carvings. Really earthy home. My only concern is the amount of combustible fuel in those lighters. Are they stored in a cool place?

Having books with the spines the wrong way round, just for the aesthetic seems pretty silly to me. Must be pretty hard to find the book you want.
