What's your go to playlist in the showroom?

I like anything by St Germain, whose music combines house and nu jazz music. Particularly a song called Rose Rogue, which often makes customers nod their heads to the music while browsing the showroom. 

Favourite Ahbd candle scent?

Number One, it is a very calming scent. Most customers ask about this scent when they walk through the door.

Life outside of work

What's your home style?

I am a big fan of colour and pattern, so it's more of an eclectic home style emphasising organic elements and nature.

Where's your favourite place for dinner, lunch, or coffee?

Quince and Clover in Great Tew, great food and coffee.

Where are we most likely to find you doing outside of Amanda Hanley By Design?

I like to spend as much time as I can doing anything outdoors. Or you will find me cooking in the kitchen.

What are you enjoying doing at the moment?

I play the piano and have recently set up my music recording equipment, so I am enjoying seeing how it all works and what sounds I can create. It is very relaxing after a busy day at Amanda Hanley by Design.

If you could live anywhere, where would you live?

Cornwall or Spain.

Favourite time of year?

Summer 

Any pets?
