A LIFE IN COLOUR
Daisy Fior’s bohemian flat has turned into a personal museum full of paintings, pottery, quilts – even stuff she’s found on the street and the banks of the Thames

in the studio-cumsitting-room, the antique letter press chest is used to store unframed works, while the recesses show off Daisy’s vibrant pottery.
Artist Daisy Fior’s childhood bedroom overlooked the British Museum, which perhaps helps explain her approach to styling her own space all these years later.
‘My brother and I knew all the wardens and we treated the museum as a playground,’ she says. ‘Art, archaeology and history were always a big part of my upbringing.
‘I was fed on art from day one. When I was six months old, my parents sold their antiques business in the Fulham Road and we moved to Spain because my father wanted to write. My mother used to remind me that as a tiny toddler I was gawping at the El Grecos in Toledo.’
