Millie said of her home: ‘We moved in a few months ago to a completely empty canvas and focused mainly on interiors at the beginning…
‘With the arrival of summer it was the ideal time to make-over the outdoor space and Wayfair had exactly what we were looking for. We wanted our patio to feel relaxed and like an extension of our kitchen where we spend most of our time…
‘The Mediterranean feel helps us escape city living, and the lounge seating is perfect for sunny days and entertaining’.
Millie and Hugo tied the knot in June 2018 at Whithurst Park in West Sussex, one year after he proposed during a holiday to the Greek island of Mykonos.

Millie reflected on her love of Greece and how it transcended into her interiors: ‘I’ve spent so many special moments on the Greek Islands over the years…
‘The Mediterranean style accents, wall plates, lemon trees and pink Bougainvillea truly transport me to that destination…
Having a holiday feel at home instantly lifts my mood! I love the waterproof blue and white rug – it transforms the look, brings everything together and gives the area an indoor/outdoor feel to help us maximise on space’.
Delicious! She incorporated bright colours into the mix

Discussing her love of cooking and greenery, she went on: ‘I’ve always wanted my own herb garden but as our outdoor space is quite compact, a traditional floor layout wouldn¹t have been possible…
‘Having the herbs wall mounted is so handy as I love cooking, especially anything Italian and it also adds so muc greenery to the space…
‘Spaghetti Vongole is a favourite in our home. We also love to host themed nights; such as Greek or Spanish so we will need to grow an array of herbs.’
Stunning: All the details made stunning touches to the finished touches

Of how she will work on her thwarted plans for 2020, she said: ‘I am really looking forward to having friends come over. Due to spending most of 2020 in lockdown I wasn¹t able to have a baby shower…
‘But I¹m looking forward to celebrating Sienna’s birth outside with some cake and bubbles! As a family we have used this space a lot as it is so versatile…
‘The hanging chair is one of my favourite places to feed Sienna and there is nothing quite like a summer evening alfresco dinner’.
