Meet Naomi

My favourite room in my home is…

Definitely my lounge. I wanted to create a luxury coastal vibe with art deco elements. My inspiration was Miami Lux. I have created a tranquil but stunning space that just nourishes my soul after a manic day or week. 

My dream destination to visit would be…

There are so many as I gain a lot of inspiration from my travels. I adore Miami and California but also have a love for the Caribbean. Anywhere hot with white beaches right at this moment would be a dream. Let’s say Miami and the Bahamas! 

The thing I love most about my job is…

The freedom of creative expression and knowing the sky is the limit for my creativity, success and vision. It’s just down to my own drive to manifest the dream projects where I get to travel and design beautiful homes and developments. Another plus is I am a people person, I love surrounding myself with stunning architecture and interesting people! 

My top 3 dinner guests would be…

Madonna, Alexander McQueen and The Notorious BIG! Alexander McQueen was the reason and person who captured my interest in fashion and design when I was young. 

An invaluable piece of information that I’ve received is…

To work out what your dreams and goals are, believe in yourself and don’t give up. When you know your goals, you can create a vision and path to get there! 

Tonight I will probably be dreaming about…

Filming and designing beautiful homes in California, Miami and the South of France. 

My dream piece from Sweetpea & Willow would be…

The Eichholtz Malaga Chair – it’s not only stunning but a practical feature piece. I can see myself curled up with a lush blanket, wine and a book after a long day.
