PREVIOUS PROPERTY ‘The owners were living in Battersea before moving to this house, which they renovated,’ says Jessica.

Interior designer Jessica Buckley (jessicabuckley.co.uk) is the first to admit that she adores decorating with colour. So when she was asked to design the decor for a family house in south London that was in the process of being refurbished, she seized the opportunity to create a vibrant and eye-catching interior.

Jessica trained as an interior designer in Sydney, Australia, having previously worked in property in Asia and Australasia. ‘I was very lucky to learn my craft under the Australian sun, where saturated colours come to life,’ she says. After relocating back to the UK, however, she soon discovered that she needed to adapt her approach, in order to accommodate the flatter light of the northern hemisphere.
