Krista specialises in customising furniture that her clients already own and redesigning their space to maximise it’s potential. Her own home is furnished with antique furniture and that which has been donated to her!
Favourite thing about the UK: The people – everyone is so upbeat all the time!
Describing her own style: I go with my mood and don’t worry about labels too much.
Eco design tip:
If you are looking to refresh your space, imagine that you have stepped into someone else’s home and are looking at it with fresh eyes. Try and do that in your own home. Don’t be afraid to colour co-ordinate: for example, group books on shelves according to colour and see the difference it makes!
Krista will be contributing to Daisy Green on a regular basis with all her super eco-design tips and room make-overs.
