a room of my own: marianne cotterill

once in a blue moon someone comes along with such singular style, it makes you go, “where does she even come up with these things”. Marianne is just that. the Bowie of interiors, if you will.

as a lifelong collector, every piece in her London home is totally inspired, completely one-off and thrown together so masterfully you just couldn't recreate it if you tried...it's no surprise Marianne has been asked to style shoots for Vogue, Elle Decoration, ST Style and many more...

Marianne is also a published author and her new book Dogs at Home is available to pre-order now before its release on 13th august...

I visited her to steal some of her gold-dust and nosy around her house in North London, which she also hires out as a shoot location. prepare yourselves for this visual feast...
