Sean Symington: Layered and Eclectic Styling
‘I really love layered interiors that are collected over time and feel personal.'
'Classic with a fresh whimsy' is the perfect way to describe interior designer Sean Symington's beautiful Bath home. Completely unrecognisable from its days as a neglected student home, Sean has transformed the property with his distinctive style.
'I think a house should be a reflection of the person that lives in it.'
Layers of fabric, pattern, and objet d'art adorn the home, creating a bold and eclectic interior that still feels cohesive and considered. Sean's designer eye can be seen throughout the home, with carefully selected decor bringing personality and subtle grandeur to each room. Sourced from online auctions, antique dealers and flea markets, each piece brings its own little slice of history.
'You should never be the oldest thing in your house.'
Sean's playful sense of design shows through flashes of leopard print, a display of Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage plates, and his growing collection of Foo dogs. An incredibly personal project, Sean's home pays homage to the styles, materials and designers he loves, and reminds us why personality should lie at the heart of our homes.
