I have always been drawn to homes with atmosphere: rooms that feel layered, lived in, personal and full of character.
My background has taken an unusual path, from a doctorate in archaeology at Oxford to working with Anouska Hempel, and creating interiors for houses in London, the West Country and beyond. What has stayed constant is an interest in how places make us feel: the relationship between architecture, colour, fabric, light, history and the people who live there.
Over time, I have become increasingly interested in the details that change a room most profoundly. Architecture gives a room its foundation, and the best decoration works in harmony with them. But the softer gestures: curtains, blinds, textiles, colour, light, warmth and the framing of a view, can completely change how a room feels. They are the elements that allow a house to become more personal, more atmospheric and more your own.
That is now the focus of my work through Curtains by Max Buston, with showrooms in Richmond and Dartmouth and an in-house workshop making bespoke curtains, Roman blinds and window furnishings.
A selection of interiors shaped by Max’s design work, from architectural detailing and decoration to colour, fabric, furniture and atmosphere.
