Anthony Ray Biography – Anthony Ray Wiki

Anthony Ray is an interior stylist, stay-at-home dad and former actor. He is a contestant on series 5 of Interior Design Masters on BBC One. He is the founder of Anthony Ray Design, offering interior design services.

Before becoming a full-time dad, Anthony was a musical theatre actor. He moved to London from Liverpool at the age of 18 to study Musical Theatre. He performed in productions such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and toured the world with Evita, before hanging up his dancing shoes in 2020 to start a family with his partner.

In preparation for adopting their baby, Anthony and his dad, who is a builder, completely transformed Anthony and his partner’s run-down house into a perfect family home. It was from there Anthony’s love of interior design blossomed.

Anthony then designed his partner’s new restaurant, which involved transforming an empty shell into a warm, welcoming and practical space on a tight budget. His focus was to bring the outside in by bringing in natural materials and upcycling second-hand furniture.

He is also passionate about upcycling. He revealed in an Instagram post, writing: “I have always had a real love for upcycling. It’s a great way to make bold statement pieces in your space, save money and help save the planet. It’s a win-win.”

In addition to looking after his son, Anthony now works as a freelance interior stylist for a luxury B&B company and also for events such as The Brit Awards & Eurovision, dressing the artists’ dressing rooms. He worked on The BRIT Awards 2024, held on 2 March 2024 at The O2 Arena in London.

He wrote on Instagram: “It has been an incredible week working on the Brit Awards. Putting on this show is such a team effort and it’s something I’m incredibly proud to be a part of. The artists were incredibly happy with their dressing rooms and the show was fantastic.”
