When Dani Dyer was thinking about how to decorate the nursery ahead of the arrival of her twin girls, she knew just who to turn to.
But while the Love Island winner was thrilled with interiors expert Abby Keene’s design ideas, the decorators charged with the task were a little less than convinced…
“It was the wallpaper on the ceiling – they thought I was nuts! But it’s a big trend, and Dani trusted me, we went with it and it turned out beautifully,” reveals Abby, founder of Ginger Nest Interiors.
Dani, who gave birth to Summer and Star in May 2023, admits she was initially taken out of her comfort zone with the proposal but says the room became the “perfect princesses’ haven”.
Abby also worked with reality TV star Lucy Mecklenburgh on a stunning green colour palette for her son Roman’s room.
“I’ve known Lucy since I was about 14 and she got in touch with me when she knew I was an interior designer. It was really fun to work with her. We have the same taste,” says 33-year-old Abby.
Other celebrity mum clients include Jessica Hayes and Ferne McCann, who Abby says “didn’t actually know what she was having when we started the designs so we went with something lovely and neutral”. And former TOWIE star Danielle Armstrong opted for gorgeous “girlie touches” in a neutral scheme.
But despite her famous customers, Abby, who has two sons, Louis, nine and seven-year-old Max, is adamant that anyone can access her services.
