Penny Morrison’s work is shaped by a lifetime of interiors, rather than a single starting point.She grew up in South Africa, where an early understanding of relaxed living — of light, space and an informal approach to interiors — became instinctive. In the 1970s, she moved to the United Kingdom, settling in London and beginning what would become a long and varied career in interiors.Without formal training, her approach developed through experience. She began by decorating and restoring flats, building an understanding of proportion, colour and composition through doing rather than instruction. What started as personal projects quickly led to commissions from friends, and gradually evolved into a full interior design practice.Over the following decades, Penny Morrison worked across a wide range of interiors, from London houses to country properties and international projects. Her aesthetic was shaped not only by this breadth of work, but by extensive travel and exposure to different ways of living — from time spent in New York and South Africa to the English countryside, alongside regular travel, particularly to India.At the centre of her work was a deep appreciation for the English country house  'look'— its layering, its use of pattern and colour, and its sense of ease built up over time. But as her projects became more international, this presented a challenge.
