Spotlight: Colin King

Because we are all spending so much time at home right now, I wanted to share a few people who I love to follow and am inspired by, whose work and profiles transport you and are a bit of an escape right now.

I am so excited to be spotlighting Colin King here today. Colin is an incredibly talented interiors stylist who has helped shape some of the most beautiful interiors featured on Architectural Digest, T Magazine, Vogue, Elle Decor and Domino. He also works with a long roster of home brands on styling projects, such as Roman and Williams Guild, Zara Home, HAY and Crate and Barrel. He has such a discerning eye and I love all of the interiors and projects he helps shape. During this time, he is creating a #stayhomestilllife every day on Instagram and sharing a glimpse into his creative process.

Follow along with Colin on Instagram @colinking and see more of his styling work on his site. Also, I highly, highly recommend listening to his episode on the podcast “More Than One Thing” where he shares more about his creative journey and how he got to where he is today.

HOW HE’S KEEPING SPIRITS UP…

I am creating still lifes, reading, taking a photography course, creating content for brands, reconnecting with old friends, having game nights with family and trying to find beauty in the simplicity and solace in the stillness.
