We've been working with Omar for a while now so this month we asked him for some insider tips to share with you...

What are your top tips on adding character to a space?

'I would definitely try to retain existing features of a space, so if there’s beams, columns or original parquet flooring, instead of replacing or covering try to retain these features by fixing them up only a little.'

What suggestions would you give to someone starting a new interiors project on their home?

'Make sure you plan and have a contingency on your budget as things will add up and you want to be as prepared as possible. 
Also, keep all organised and written down in a spreadsheet from design ideas to budgets. Pinterest is LIFE! '

Who is your favourite brand at the moment and why? What would be your favourite home accessory of theirs?

'Ferm Living - because I love the minimal and chic design of the products. My favourite products at the moment have to be the hour glass planter or the Vuelta Pendant.'

What’s on your Christmas wish list this year?

'I’m looking forward to Christmas this year as I’m in my new space and have many things I’d like to get. The Dining table is for sure on my top list and lots of interior books!'
