STYLIST MEGAN MORTON








“Never ever hide your enthusiasm,” says Megan Morton. It is a message that the interior stylist is getting out to an ever increasing audience. While Megan has always been a well-known name in the world of interiors - styling homes and spaces for the leading magazines as well creating books and running a prop shop - she is spreading her message through The School, a place of creative learning. “Beauty is for everyone,” she says. Now she’s planning to send The School on its first excursion to NYC. Megan has also been busy creating a range of beds with Incy Interiors.

The original interview (reproduced below) was published on 19 May 2009.

She’s one of the busiest stylists in Sydney, if not Australia. And she’s had her work featured in international publications, including Vanity Fair. Megan has worked extensively across Australian interior and lifestyle publications and has a client base that includes leading homewares brands and interior designers wanting their projects to make it into glossy magazines. 

When did you start working as an interior stylist? Nine years ago.

What lessons have you learnt along the way? Money and style have nothing in common.

What’s your favourite decorating style? Charming.

What’s the most common mistake people make when decorating their home? Sticking to the rule book.

Where do you look to for inspiration? Music and books. I read everything and anything.

Who inspires you? Tadao Ando, Millie De Castonet, Iain Halliday, my florist.

Which features or projects that you’ve worked on are you most proud of? A Vanity Fair cover, a skyhome in the city and a wine bar we designed for fashion week and Dita Von Teese and a Christmas lunch for the homeless.

How has your own personal interior style developed? It’s pretty much been the same my whole life.

How would you describe your home? A ramshackle mess (with outrageous potential!) where my most favourite people and things happily co-exist.

What are you passionate about? Living with only what you need.
