My Sanctuary: Fiona Leahy
While home has often been considered a feminine space, too few opportunities have been given to women to tell their stories about the places they inhabit and the objects they value. Our sanctuaries articulate our unique aesthetics, rituals and needs and so become a beautiful expression of selfhood.
In this series we discover the stories of home and life told by some of the wonderful women in our midst.
The Irish-born creative director and designer Fiona Leahy has an eye for everything from a perfect table setting to bespoke velvet ribbons — her peerless aesthetic has made her a sought after eye for many in the fashion, art and culinary world. Fiona shows &YOU a few of her favorite places and things in her London home.
“My garden sanctuary is my favourite part of my home and it has literally been my refuge through lockdown”
“During lockdown a developed a tray obsession. This one is from Dior and has a beautiful rattan garden feel”
“I love entertaining in the garden, I’m having friends over for Sunday lunch today. Mint green and white feels so fresh right now”
“My giant swing bed that I picked up at Chelsea flower show ten years ago I recently reupholstered it in dear dark green fabric with pink piping”
