The Conran Shop – Part 1
Visit one of Gabby's favourite brick-and-mortar shopping destinations, The Conran Shop, and see how she shops.
The Conran Shop is almost the mothership of design. It has classic pieces from the mid-twentieth century as well as new designs, and mixes classic and contemporary design beautifully. It's a great place to learn from a buying team who have travelled the globe to discover the best in contemporary design.
Making the most of beautifully curated collections
In the basement of the Marylebone store are big tables, each with a curated arrangement of tableware and napkins. Test your reactions. Noticing how you respond will help you to develop your tastes and begin to understand what draws you in. Take time to think about your own house and what you've got already.

The best adventure. I like all the courses, but my favorite are both Rita Konig interior design courses and Anna Jones. Excellent!

Gabby Deeming
Interiors stylist, former Creative Director of Decoration for House & Garden, founder of Daydress.
One of the UK’s leading figures on all things interiors, Gabby Deeming has spent the past 15 years pulling together beautiful schemes as Creative Director of Decoration at House & Garden. Her route into styling began in her early 20s, when Gabby fell in love with textiles, print and colour after being exposed to fresh and exciting interiors during a year living abroad in France. Gabby started her career at House & Garden shortly after, honing her personal taste and quickly becoming known as a driving force within the magazine for bringing high-end interior design to a wider audience, championing practical, achievable and beautiful styling. In 2017, after taking a short sabbatical in India, Gabby followed her passion for patterned textiles to launch Daydress - an ethically-minded fashion line celebrating block printed fabrics.
