About the Author

I joined InStyle Direct in 2007 after completing my MA in International Business at the University of Westminster. I've worked in every department in my 18 years with the company. In addition to serving the key functions of interior design and furnishing, I've contributed to accounts and logistics that have led me to acquire insights into all aspects of the business. My love for design and home interiors is fuelled by my passion to travel around the world and collect meaningful pieces of art that tell a bigger story. As much as I enjoy adorning my family home in London, I bring the same enthusiasm and energy into ensuring our clients get the best results for the time and money they invest to add value to their residences. My interest in repurposing vintage furniture and recommending high-value decor pieces that add character led me to identify a gap in the luxury market space. We launched Ani M Interiors, our range of high-end, bespoke design and furnishing solutions to address this gap and help clients create completely personalised interiors. I work out of InStyle Direct's Head Office in London, where we have a dedicated team that goes above and beyond to deliver the best results for our clients. As an avid follower of the latest home furnishing and interior design trends, I look forward to using this space and sharing some valuable industry insights and news from around the world.
