Beloved for her fresh designs, Amanda Reynal is as popular as she is unique: her down-to-earth clients are passionate about making their homes stylish, but they also want interiors that favour comfort over formality and the furniture's provenance. Reynal's artful approach creates spaces brimming with intriguing and clever furnishings, richly patterned surfaces, and lots (and LOTS) of colour. Her focus on pretty rooms that dazzle, but remain inviting to kids, family, and friends, is a look and perspective that is missing from most books on the design shelf.
