When Julia and Peter Larsson decided to update the interior of their London home, they enlisted the help of an expert interior designer. ‘I had a very clear idea of our taste as a couple, and although I wanted the lead to come from the designer, I also wanted to be involved in the creative process,’ says Julia. After looking around on Instagram, she came across Rebecca Hughes’ work and sensed that the designer’s love of collaboration could prove to be a great asset during the project. After a preliminary meeting, Julia commissioned Rebecca to help carry out the revamp.
