Every year on the 8th of March, we celebrate women across the world. Recognising the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of all women.

That of course includes the leading ladies in the interior design industry. Undoubtedly, feminine style has made its mark on the world of homeware from soft, elegant colour tones to statement-making designs.

This International Women’s Day, we are honouring our talented female designers by exploring the wonderful ways of introducing feminine style into your home.
