I spent the morning with prolific interior designer, art director and television host Andrika Lawren talking art and design and documenting her fabulously eclectic and soulful space. Her epic wall of art acts as a backdrop to dinner parties, and consists of pieces (each with its own history) collected over the years.

On her personal design aesthetic and choosing art:
Design and art are not surface. It’s intuitive. You feel it. You know when it’s right and when to walk away. It’s all about the pieces and the stories behind them. I am attracted to work that is obscure and dark and speaks to me. Intriguing and provoking. I look closer, to discover a secret in the piece (whether it’s humour or darkness, I get it).
On her extensive collection of hand done prints:
There is a practical element; prints are generally more affordable which allows me to own and build a large collection. And the bigger the better.
Recent design / art obsessions:
Vintage exposed light bulbs
Wood carvings and etchings
Favourite Art Interiors’ artists:
