5 minutes with: The Style Sisters
Before launching their organising and style-detox service Style Sisters in 2018, Charlotte Reddington worked as an interior designer and Gemma Lilly, a fashion stylist.
The Essex-based duo, who aren’t actually related, joined their respective passions and have created calm, clutterfree closets for clients including Rochelle Humes and Stacey Solomon, with an ethos to promote the positive benefits that tidy spaces can bring to your home and wellbeing. Here, they share their secrets…
Can you tell us what you’re up to at the moment?
We have recently launched our first homeware range for Tesco, which includes luxe-for-less candles, cushions and vases to storage boxes at purse-friendly prices.
Our love of a monochrome palette inspired the look and design of each product, so they can easily be incorporated into any decorating scheme.
Where do you find your inspiration?
From all over, it could be the interior of a hotel on our travels, or from magazines and social media.
After being in so many clients’ houses over the years, we both have a very clear idea of the products that are loved and used.
It’s important to us we create items that have a purpose.
What area of your work do you enjoy the most, and why?
We both love that our jobs allow us to be creative in so many ways, whether it’s talking on stage at the Ideal Home Show or designing new products for a brand – no two days are the same!
Creating before-and-after transformations, then seeing the positive impact it has for the way people live, will always be one of our favourite things to do, though.
Can you give us any insider info on what’s next?
We have so many wonderful projects coming up, so watch this space!
We’ll be adding to our Tesco range with a dining collection in time for Christmas, then early next year we’re launching our first wallpaper range.
Any advice for an aspiring designer or stylist?
Stay true to yourself. There’s no wrong way when it comes to style – the right people will gravitate towards you.
