KRISTINE HALL

Interior Design Consultant & Blogger, Restoring Lansdowne Interiors

Kristine Hall is a London-based interior design consultant specialising in flexible and online design services. 

She is a trained artist and blogger who writes and Instagrams about renovating old houses, choosing art for interiors, DIY and why interior design lovers should never have cats. 

Her designs have featured in leading publications including Ideal Home, Grazia, Modern Home, Mad about the House, Hunker and the London Evening Standard.

In 2021 she will embark on her next project – a rural country house with heaps of history.

 “Like many people, I’m in the process of trading in the urban environment for a home in the countryside. The past year has shifted my priorities but also my interior design aesthetics. I’m increasingly drawn to minimalist simplicity, tactile and hand-made furnishings and comforting, earthy colours.”

“It so perfectly captures both the bleakness of urban life in 2020 and the strange beauty of rediscovering our neighbourhoods in deserted stillness. Such an emotive piece created from such a ubiquitous view.”

“Like many people, I’m craving vast open spaces and the headspace they allow. When I look at this painting I can feel the fog on my face and smell the wet leaves underfoot. It might be melancholic if not for the fiery palette. This is a piece I would design a room around.”

“This is everything I love in a sculpture – timeless, tactile, brutalist, minimalist. It manages to look both delicate and dangerous. It would be ideal for a japandi (modern scandi warmth with touches of Japanese minimalism) style interior.”

“This is such an intriguing drawing. It asks more questions than it answers and begs you to find out more about this sinister structure jutting out from the rocks. I’m fascinated by architectural history and this piece so vividly  expresses the artist’s experience of being present in this desolate landscape. “

“This piece is so beautifully serene, contemplative and anchoring. The perfect artwork antidote to the stress of juggling home working with home schooling and all the challenges of life in a pandemic.”

This vessel encapsulates what many of us are seeking in our homes this year – warm, natural materials, soothing, earthy colours and soft lines. And its large scale and visual weight means it can hold its own in a display, perfect for a less is more approach.”
