For most of us, our home is our sanctuary, but we also have that specific space that makes us feel like kings, or queens, of our castle. Ramona Depares asks two fashion photographers for a snapshot of their favourite corner.

Valentina Lupo

What is your favourite space in your house?

I live with my parents and my favourite room is my bedroom. It’s my own personal space and I’ve had it since I was young.

Did you create it/decorate it yourself?

Yes, I decorated it myself, but kept it quite simple as the room is not large and I wanted many shelves to keep my books. A wide desk was also a priority as I needed to have enough space to keep two computers to post-process photos.

What time of day do you usually get to enjoy your favourite space?

I’m really not home throughout the day, so I mostly use my room to chill out in the evening.

What makes it so attractive for you?

It provides a calm place, where I can think and relax after a long, busy day. I keep everything I need and all my favourite things there... I have many photo albums and other favourite items, which remind me of holidays and other happy memories.

I would definitely include a large, red, Murano glass chandelier

If you had to change one thing about your home what would it be?

I would make my room bigger as I do not have much space left to keep all my clothes!

Describe your ideal space, if you could design it.

My ideal space would be a predominately white, large room, with a glass wall, which allows plenty of natural light into it. Moreover, I would include parquet flooring and many beautiful items. I particularly like the idea of using antique Maltese furniture combined with modern items. Oh yes, and I would definitely include a large, red, Murano glass chandelier.

What is your favourite space in your house?

Either on the floor in my room, or maybe on the sofa relaxing. I suppose I’m lucky as I’m very pampered at home. I can’t say I do much around the house!

Did you create it/decorate it yourself?

Yes, I actually decorated my room myself. I opted for brown and white hues as I love earth colours in a bedroom. It makes the look more cosy and warm. When it came to choosing furniture and accessories I went up to Sicily and ordered everything straight from there.

What time of day do you usually use it?

Whenever I’m at home.

What makes it so attractive for you?

Having light colours in your house makes it cosier and more comfortable; I feel that loads of colours disturb the eyes, which is why I like subtle tones. I’m also happy that I didn’t choose dainty furniture, mostly because I’m not a very dainty person!

If you had to change one thing about your home what would it be?

Probably the kitchen. I would love to have a huge island one day, as I love cooking and I would like more space to work around.
