Siobhan Murphy, digital creator and interior designer and 2021 finalist on BBC One’s Interior Design Masters shares an insight into her life and upcoming projects in an exclusive Q&A with Good Homes’

Tell us a little about your background…

I studied fashion at college, and I’ve always been interested in design and interiors, especially when it comes to colour and pattern. I love using unusual colour combinations in both my wardrobe and room schemes.

What have you been up to since appearing on the BBC’s Interior Design Masters?

It’s been a whirlwind; the day after the final aired I handed my notice in after 18 years working in the NHS. I’ve been writing an interiors book, designing my first-ever homeware collection for Freemans, plus styling for private and commercial clients. Every day is so different and everything I do involves creativity, which makes me incredibly happy!

How did your collaboration with Freemans start?

After the series ended I received a phone call, and instantly knew it would be the perfect fit. Freemans is an amazing team to work with, and designing and developing the collections has been a dream come true. My summer range launches in April and includes a beautiful pink bar cart, fabulous lighting and the most OTT bedlinen, which I think will cause a bit of a stir! 

Where do you get your inspiration?

Interiors magazines and social media are a huge source for me, as well as the places I visit on my travels – the riads of Marrakesh, street markets in Thailand, and my favourite place in the world, The Beverly Hills Hotel.
