‘I lived in a one-bedroom ground-floor mansion flat with a garden,’ says Oliver.

Oliver Cunningham gets his interiors inspiration from a very unlikely source. His work as a hairdresser takes him into his clients’ homes and sometimes even luxury hotels if he’s asked to work with visiting celebrities, and these experiences have gone on to influence the interior style of his home.

‘I wanted my home to be individual. I didn’t want rooms to look predictable, but to be a little eccentric with a quality feel,’ he explains. ‘I really admire Soho House design – it’s effortlessly classy, it’s opulent and quite decadent, with gorgeous fabrics and light fittings, where old and new pieces are seamlessly put together.’
