Romi Kaplan's love of classic contemporary

I have always loved interiors since I was very young. I love surrounding myself with beautiful things.

My personal favourite is a London-style apartment. I love mixing European sophistication with contemporary furniture.

I'm working on a couple of different projects that are all very unique. One in particular is an apartment in Bantry Bay which I have loved doing. The clients are great to work with. The colours I have used in the apartment are greys and whites with touches of wood. There are numerous areas that have been clad in different natural stone materials and I have added accents of black steel throughout the apartment. It's a beautiful, casual space that is simple yet interesting.

Firstly take your time to plan things properly - work within your budget and do a simple mood board so you have an idea of the look and feel that you would like in your home. Start with the basic large pieces of furniture and once that is all in place start layering using scatter cushions, throws or other soft furnishings. Style your tables with vases and ornaments. Add some table and floor lamps too as lighting is very important in a room.

That would be my armoire in my bedroom. I designed it with chrome Cremona bolts which makes the unit that much more special.

For me the planning is most important thing. You need to make sure that your plan is right before any items go into production, which means that every area and detail needs to be thought through properly. Attention to detail in a home is very important
