Lisa Dawson

Interiors blogger, writer and stylist, Lisa Dawson’s inimitable style has established her as a firm favourite on people’s Instagram feeds since 2016. It was the process of doing up her dream home that first prompted her to share images of her interiors, and after becoming inundated with questions about styling and sourcing, she set up her acclaimed blog and began to teach styling workshops. In 2021, Lisa released her debut book ‘Resourceful Living’ which became an instant bestseller. While her knowledge of the latest trends is extensive, Lisa doesn’t subscribe to the notion of buying this season’s must-haves. Instead, she advocates for decorating sustainably by making the most of what you already have, creatively restyling and mixing existing pieces with choice new items.
