Living on an island in theCaribbean for the past 15 years , most of the houses and the couple of hotels I've done have combined a sort of nostalgia for England and Europe along with a curation of things collected on travels all over the world . Living with the daughter of David Hicks also means that one has one's "homework marked" pretty rigorously.
The decorating of the house has really just been an extension of our friendship ..... it's been remarkably collaborative and much more a case of helping out friends.
