Principles of Style
In Principles of Style , Sarah Andrews presents her unique take on teaching design, drawing on her experience of working in the industry and as a teacher in her school, which has reached cult status around the world.
Importantly, Principles of Style aims to be a timeless learning tool for readers, no matter their own personal style, with Sarah revealing many of the ideas, tips and skills she has accumulated along the way. She does this by examining some of her key projects and favourite rooms, as well as by focusing on her ten rules of styling, formulated both through hands-on experience and studies in the science of design. Sarah believes that everyone has the ability to create interiors that are right for them; in this inspiring and eminently practical book, she aims to demonstrate just how to do so.
About the Author
Sarah Andrews has an unusual background in design, having initially studied spatial sciences at university before working for a large engineering company in London. While successful in her professional life, she was ultimately unfulfilled, and went back to university to follow her passion – design. Almost immediately, she found strong links between her scientific studies and design, and has used that knowledge to inform her work on designing interiors.
A keen sailor, she found the dry land equivalent of a boat in Captains Rest, an unpretentious shack she renovated in a remote part of the Tasmanian west coast, which has gone on to be globally iconic. Since then, Sarah has styled and decorated a number of other houses and businesses for clients. She also runs her styling and hosting school internationally – this has produced an enormous number of successful students, whose work has appeared in many of the world’s best publications.

lovely words from our customers
I’m so in love with my Peggy and Twig earrings! I’ve brought the Audrey and the Layla earrings and they just compliment everything I wear! Whether I’m popping out for a coffee or attending a wedding, my earrings just add that final touch to my outfit.

I love my Peggy and Twig pearls. I have both the Rose Studs and the Clementine and equally love them both, so much so that sometimes I wear both of them at the same time. They are comfortable in my ears and the always add an extra element of elegance. Thank you! Also they are affordable! Can’t wait to one day by one of your bigger pieces! 🥰

I absolutely adore my collection of ‘Peggy and Twig’ earrings. They are Timeless, Classy and Elegant. The perfect addition to any jewellery box and outfit. What makes me love the earrings even more is that fact that the purchase supports a small, rural business. I can’t wait to add to my little collection. My collection: Ava, Bobbie, Nina. Rachel.
I am a huge fan of your beautiful earrings. I have a set of the Rose studs which I wear almost everyday. They are my absolute favourite! I'm forever getting compliments about them. I also have a set of the Clementine drop earrings which I love for dressing up. They are so elegant yet understated. I hope to add to my collection too as they are all so beautiful!

I can’t begin to express how much I love the style and creativity of Peggy & Twig’s pearl earrings!!! I love them so much, I bought 3 pairs in my first order. I purchased the Layla, Skye and clementine styles and wear one of these three daily. Each piece is a classy, unique, statement that gets recognised by others, often asking me ‘where are those earrings from?’ The attention to detail Em puts in to creating each piece is outstanding and I would highly recommend Peggy & Twig jewellery to everyone. Thank you for making such beautiful creations, Em.
