BEHIND INTERIOR DESIGN AND STYLES:SANIA PELL
An interior stylist in the UK that stands out
In the world of interiors, there exists one special person capable of adding unique value to the industry.
Interior stylist Sania Pell is exactly that.
Born in London, Pell is what many would call a woman of many talents for interior styling.
After graduating with a textile degree and working seven years in a design studio, Sania simply wanted more. She went on to style photoshoots for high-profile publications, such as The Observer, The Guardian, and The Sunday Telegraph.
One long-time notable brand she worked for is Elle Decoration, freelancing for over 20 years as the brand’s story stylist.
Not your average stylist, she is also an art and creative director, international interior style consultant, and best-selling author.
In the midst of her multifaceted career, Sania even published two books—‘The Homemade Home’ and ‘The Homemade Home for Children.’. One of which became a bestseller.
A London stylist’s heart for home photography and British art
In honour of her artistry, let’s take a deep dive into what makes her interior styling so bold and distinct.
To begin with, Sania is a meticulous selector of objects, more specifically those with uncanny shapes and textures.
For example, let’s delve into the object she selected to be featured on her magazine piece in Elle Decoration’s 2022 issue: the Tektite bowl.
This particular bowl Pell picked is crafted with the Tektite material, which has incredible spiritual connotations—the likes of which include communication with space and other realms!
This unusual bowl is holstered up by four arms made from bubble-mouse ceramic foam. It’s a piece one would be hard-pressed to find in anyone's home.
What’s even more entertaining is how the interior stylist fuses cultures into one single room.
A further look will show her combining British and Japanese sculptures to create a very seamless interior.
Pushing the envelope, we find ourselves brooding over her intelligent use of colour contrast. A simple and eye-catching masterful blend of the right colours makes this room that she touched look so magnetic.
Unique home interior ideas you’ll love to see
Interior stylists are artists who derive from a cluster of options available to their creative palette. It is remarkable when one can produce work in such a simplistic and clean fashion as Sania Pell does.
2 things that make Sania Pell’s styles for homes look great
Her choice of ceramics, sculptures, and other objects
Pell has the superpower to blend random objects from unrelated cultures and create a seamless room to drool over. Japanese artworks can somehow easily sit side by side with contemporary British sculptures.
There are yellow, wiry-like sculptures created by British artist Ally Powell sitting on top of the fireplace right next to the Japanese artist Kiho Kang’s oval zigzag sculpture. This is a great juxtaposition of different art cultures!
2. Colours
To keep things simple, Sonia collects pieces that completely complement a room's colours. Her awareness of colour contrasts is superb. For example, her specific choice of brown chairs, a yellow sculpture, and a black lamp helped to produce a nice finish in this home.
Sania has truly made an impact on the styling world and continues to spread her artistry through several unique projects.
