Fiona Barratt-Campbell

Spear’s Review

Fiona Barratt-Campbell made headlines when it was revealed that she'd be designing Monticello, a lauded development in Rome looking onto St Peter’s Basilica, comprising luxury apartments and villas where Italian marble meets antiques and chic lighting. The interiors guru has always been inspired by the rugged landscapes and Roman remains of Northumberland. 

She began her career two decades ago, influenced by her grandfather Sir Lawrie Barratt, founder of the largest residential property company in the UK, with her firm Fiona Barratt Interiors receiving its first commission in 2006.

The designer and her husband, footballer Sol Campbell, live on the former site of Henry VIII’s country residence. A trend-setter, not a follower, she feels that fads ‘can lead you away from your core design ethic’.
