Designer Orla Kiely's Clapham home

Kiely gets a visit from the Independent. Compared to some of the homes that get the newspaper visit, it sounds like a nice, unpretentious family home, with some of the quirks you'd expect (and hope for) from a designer. My favourite bit?

I found some unusual paving stones for the garden - they are exactly the same as those you get beside traffic lights in London. Friends had been recommending different designs, but one day, when I was crossing the road, I noticed these stones and thought, "That's it, they're just beautiful and perfect for the garden!" I love their large dots. I ordered them from a civic supplier.

I can't immediately visualise those stones. I'm out most of today in meetings, but I'll try to remember to take a phone-snap, and post the image either tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm intrigued, now. Read the rest of the article here.
