In How to Start an Art Collection Georgia Spray visits the King’s Cross flat of art director and prop stylist Kristina Beddall and interiors photographer Noah Russell. Their home stands out for its seamless blend of two creative worlds and its unpretentious approach to curation.
From interweaving childhood heirlooms and hand-painted curio boxes with quirky vintage finds, embracing bold gallery walls that turn a small rental into a vibrant visual diary of their life together to embracing a casual hanging philosophy, their method transforms a temporary rental into a living, breathing collaboration.
“‘It’s crazy how much our tastes align,’ laughs Kristina... ‘Noah brings the organised element to our organised chaos,’ she says. ‘I just love putting things up immediately, but he takes the time to think about the composition. He keeps me restrained.’”
By approaching their space with spontaneous energy, thoughtful composition, and zero preciousness, Kristina and Noah demonstrate that living alongside art in a temporary space is a deeply personal ever-evolving partnership.
