It’s safe to say that furniture and interior designer Nina Moeller has a varied background. Born in South Africa, Moeller studied cabinet design in Germany and then furniture and restoration in Poland and Normandy before settling in our neck of the woods. Her love of British furniture stems from her time under renowned furniture maker John Makepeace at Parnham House. Her simple, nature inspired design schemes and specialist knowledge of period conversions are shown to great effect in this elegant Chelsea home. nina-moeller-designs.co.uk
