After showing us around his home in Parsons Green, west London, interior designer Martin Brudnizki shares his personal house style.
- How would you describe the interiors of your house?
- It’s very eclectic. I enjoy collecting all kinds of things and bringing them together in an unexpected, yet harmonious way.
- If there was a fire and you could only save one thing, what would it be?
- I have a box full of family things from Sweden. Photos, books etc. – I would save that.
- What was the last thing you bought for the house?
- A classical column from Brownrigg which is the proud home to a miniature bust of Handel.
- Where do you shop for your home?
- I love Fiona McDonald, I can always find something there. For vases and tableware, you can’t go wrong with Svenskt Tenn, a great department store in Stockholm.
- Top three coffee table books?
- I like scrapbooks so anything with Cecil Beaton, Peter Beard or Baron de Cabrol.
- If money was no object, what changes would you make?
- I’d move out and buy a Queen Anne’s style pile in the country.
- Less is more or more is more?
- Personally, I prefer more. I like to surround myself with memories and artwork I love. I don’t understand people who have empty houses.
- Design classics or contemporary pieces?
- Growing up in Stockholm I was surrounded by design classics; my mother had impeccable taste and design classics became a fixture of our everyday lifestyle; we ate off Fornasetti plates, read under my grandfathers Bauhaus lamps and had a beautiful sofa upholstered in Josef Frank fabric.
- Today, I like to blend styles from all periods. In my flat, I’ve brought together a mid-century rosewood dining table and contemporary chairs with lots of modern artwork as well as colonial campaign chairs and bespoke furniture.
- If you’re having people over for dinner, what do you cook?
- I’ve got quite good at a roast rump of beef with all the trimmings.
- What are the best things about the neighbourhood?
- Exactly that: it has a real neighbourhood feeling. I can get anything I want there. There’s a butcher, grocer, florist and dry cleaners, and they all know me by name.
