Ash Appleton Biography – Ash Appleton Wiki

Ash Appleton, born Asheline Appleton, is a Kenyan interior designer, lawyer, documentary photographer and contestant on series 5 of Interior Design Masters on BBC One. She is the founder of An African Eye, offering interior design consulting services.

Her design style is Africa-modern, bold, bright, blended, and whimsical. “I’m all about celebrating the energy of modern Africa in a fresh and intriguing way,” Ash told Apartment Therapy. “My mantra is “joyful living,” which means creating comfortable spaces that are inviting, quirky, and light-filled. I usually design uplifting, happy, and relaxing spaces with touches of humor. I have a good eye for color, which I love to offset against a brilliant white backdrop. I enjoy blending design styles: traditional and modern; old, new, and custom-made; high-end and high-street. These elements all make up my signature style.”

Originally from Kenya, Ash splits her time between London and Nairobi. She draws inspiration from her African heritage. She said: “I take a lot of inspiration from my African heritage, but I steer clear of the clichéd depictions of “African interior design,” such as tribal motifs, monochrome, rustic and safari-inspired interiors etc. I get so much inspiration from the places I have traveled to (both landscapes and urban spaces), modern art, hotels, restaurants, graphic design, street art, and culture.”

Ash appeared on Switch TV’s “Full Circle with Joyce” and NTV’s “Living with Ess”. She has been featured in the Evening Standard, Metro, IKEA and Real Homes.
