Interior designer and stylist Simone Haag thinks of a house as a blank page on which to write a story and if that’s the case then she has penned a tale of love and warmth using texture and subtle colour, carefully collected furniture and objets d’art when she designed the renovation of her own family home. It may not be large in size but it is certainly big on style, retaining its mid century roots, celebrating retro riffs all while embracing modern living. I think I’m in love … with the house, with the house!
