Introducing ‘musical interiors’

London home of Stephano Regueros Savvides

Music is home to me. It is the lifeline to my creativity, to memories, to my family.

Music is where I feel safe and sane, and during a few times in my life, it has been a key element in making it to the other side. All that being said, I struggle to call myself a musician and might be more inclined to call myself ‘musical’. I strum chords on the guitar, I've learned a handful of my favorite classical pieces on the piano, and though I’m not one to remember names or have a strong recollection of events, I’ll sing every lyric to a hundred random songs that no one has heard in years. Growing up, I followed along to the sheet music my dad collected in his piano bench and had a short stint in music school as an adult. I sent my kids to piano lessons as long as they allowed, and continue to sing show tunes with them at the dinner table. But mostly, I am an admirer of music and musicians and the instruments that make it all happen.

Professionally, it is photography that has steered the course, and more specifically, the photography of interiors. When I enter a space I’ve been commissioned to photograph and am greeted with a piano, I am instantly at home. The room shows its heart and I envision the piano being played for a group of close friends and families at the holidays. I envision the life those instruments help create.

Musical Interiors celebrates places where people gather and banter and sing until the daylight hours, where design holds their admiration and song unites their souls, and the experience of it all keeps them coming back for more.

Musical Interiors is where memories are made and life is truly cherished.

For each upcoming journal entry, I’ll share a space along with its unique story. I hope you’ll join me and find inspiration along the way.
