20 questions with kimberley seldon
At
styleathome.com, you'll find lots of advice from your favourite designers, who offer up tips and tricks to help you make your own home look like it's jumped straight out of the pages of a magazine. We love the designers we work with and always want to know more, more, more! So I decided to check in with
Kimberley Seldon, Style at Home's Contributing Decorating Editor, to get a more personal glimpse into her sense of style. (Check out
more designer profiles here.)
