The oldest thing in my home is a Khmer stone sculpture from Cambodia, as I am an admirer of Eastern philosophy. It\u2019s more than 2,000 years old and, although\u00a0it\u2019s really small, the spirit around the statue makes it feel much bigger.<\/p>\n<p>My interiors wishlist changes every single day. But today, the Pop commode by American designer Kelly Wearstler is at the top. It\u2019s a white chest of drawers with black handles and I just adore it. My favourite room in my home is my dressing room. I\u2019ve always dreamt of having one, and I\u2019ve been planning how it might look since first becoming a designer 40 years ago! Now that I finally have a dressing room of\u00a0my own, it\u2019s somewhere I can really escape and indulge myself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C253,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C253,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C299,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C299,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C341,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C341,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=553%2C467,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=553%2C467,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C523,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C523,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C344,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C344,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C469,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C469,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-6486\" align=\"\" size-large=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/19\/2018\/08\/Pop-Commode-1-6ceada9-e1651067979647.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=1024%2C864&quot;\" width=\"&quot;1024&quot;\" height=\"&quot;1024&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;&quot;\" title=\"&quot;&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> This striking Pop commode is at the top of Kelly\u2019s wishlist.

Luxury, or simply home. To me, it\u2019s the most important place on Earth. My interiors at home are inspired by everything. I\u2019m hugely influenced by my travels \u2013 I love to experience different cultures and take in the native architecture around me. I also find music incredibly inspiring.

I find photos fascinating and I\u2019ve collected them my entire life.
