“For our home, we had to have big walls to display all of our art,’’ Louisa Guinness says. ‘‘I just used things that we like. We wanted airiness, we wanted space; that’s what you get when you do it in a modern way. I wasn’t cornered into doing just a white box. It was homey and comfortable.”
Whose home they envy: Kate and Clément Daudy's. Ben’s parents were friends with Kate’s parents when he was growing up.
“Her home is very typical of her — she is a wonderful character,” Louisa says of Kate. “It’s so creative and whimsical. It’s covered in poetry. It’s very refreshing to go there.”
