Siobhan Murphy tells us her story whilst showing us around her incredible 1930s Art Deco house.

It’s clear to see that her story reflects how she’s designed her house. Whether that be charity shopping with her Grand Parents, Art School fashion, going travelling or her love for maximalism, it’s all there to be seen. Siobhan’s got a big loveable personality and you instantly feel that vibe in her house.

Siobhan’s love for fashion, vintage and collecting started at a young age, whilst spending time with her Grand Parents. Her creativity was also encouraged, and these things influenced her personality.
Soon came Art School where she continued the love and studied fashion. A career in the field didn’t quite pan out when she found herself in a comfortable position within the NHS. Although she kept at it in her spare time, and after some time away from work going travelling with future husband, which re-ignited her love and began a journey into Interior Design. This is where Siobhan found her calling, and a community of like minded people on Instagram. After embracing maximalism and packing her house it was time to move, the stars aligned and her, her partner and cat moved into La Chatelaine, a 1930s Art Deco house. She’d found the perfect blank canvas. La Chatelaine is the perfect blend of Siobhan’s personality, vintage, fashion and somewhat eccentric. The house needed love and Siobhan had that in abundance. As she worked hard on the house and her online community grew TV came calling, and she took part in BBC’s Interior Design Masters, where she reached the final. Siobhan had patiently work for 18 years in the NHS, but never gave up hope of a career within the creative industry. Some may say Siobhan got a lucky break, but the real story is, she had passion, seized opportunities and never gave up.
