Lauren has taken inspiration from her mother’s style. When
she visits, “she usually moves things around and it looks better,”
says Lauren. Bowerbird in Ap Lei Chau is her go-to store for
interior buys. “It’s everything I love about home furnishings,” says
Lauren. Although a lot of her ceramics and soft furnishings have
come from homeware stores in China, she also searches online
at Not On The High Street and Etsy for unique pieces.
It is a focus on relaxation – the sense of the carefree – that
this home emotes. And throwing back to their childhood
homes, the couples’ favourite place in their home is the sun
room, where classic plantation shutters open out to fresh
greenery in a garden the children love to play in.
