Interior stylists can do anything they put their creative minds to. Karen Sims shows the way.

From Interior designing and styling to being a location manager and now shop owner. There isn’t much Karen Sims can’t do!

Karen Sims has worn many hats throughout her career and every one of them has been amazing. In this episode we talk about how she has seamlessly moved from one creative career to another, her time as a stylist and what it’s like to own a location house – tip – you need to be “obsessively tidy”. We also talk about Karen’s website KnowandLove.co.uk and how she fills the shop with beautiful hand crafted, locally made products from small makers and designers. It’s inspiring stuff.
