Daniel Matthews | ' The Design Style With No Name' : Finding Home Through Colour, Character & Considered Chaos

In this episode of Fellow Friends in Home & Hosting, I’m
joined by Daniel Matthews — the creative behind the beautifully
layered and cleverly named @a.modest.semi.


We chat about the value of renting as a way to experiment with
different styles, the emotional rollercoaster of a first-time
renovation, and what it’s like designing a home through the eyes
of a textile professional. Daniel also helps unpack “the style
with no name” — the romantic, character-filled English aesthetic
that’s sweeping our feeds but still defies definition.


From olive green walls to secondhand treasures and how to know
when to splurge vs save, this is a warm, witty, and practical
chat for anyone who wants their home to feel like a true
reflection of who they are.

you’ll fall in love with his home, but stay for his brilliant
sense of humour and deeply thoughtful design eye.
