Internationally acclaimed interior designer and design director for Firmdale Hotels Kit Kemp leads a personal voyage around the many spaces she has designed. Design, she says, is not something to fear but something to embrace and enjoy. She demonstrates that there are no rules but it is about trusting your instincts, being prepared to take risks and being clever with affordable material rather than blowing your budget.

Kemp has worked at the forefront of the design community for more than 20 years. Her signature style is to mix contemporary elements with antiques and junk shop finds and hand-finished detailing. Above all, she says interiors are meant for living in.
