Surroundings are therefore extremely important for those who create, often becoming a significant part of the process.<\/p>\n<p>To mark this year\u2019s London Design Festival, we\u2019ve teamed up with some of London\u2019s most pioneering women to celebrate the spaces in which they work. Our five <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/spaces\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff6600;\">Heal&#8217;s SPACES<\/span><\/a> collaborators have recreated the spaces which inspire them on a daily basis in the windows of our Tottenham Court Road. Each woman was free to select items from their craft, from Heal\u2019s and even from their own home.<\/p>\n<p>From Jessie Burton\u2019s writing shed to Melissa Hemsley\u2019s kitchen, you can take a closer look at these creative spaces at the Heal\u2019s flagship store until 23rd September. We sat down with the five women to find out a bit more about them and their creative space.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<h2>Melissa Hemsley<\/h2>\n<p>Author and wellness guru Melissa Hemsley is one of the nation\u2019s most popular home cooks.

After years of dreaming and building our kitchen, I finally have a creative space I love. From my kitchen table I can see through to the living room where my boyfriend Henry is often working. Nelly my dog will be laying somewhere in between us, sunbathing. I can see our vegetable garden to my left (current favourites are basil, courgette and cherry tomatoes) to my right is a long shelf with all of my favourite cookbooks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melissa\u2019s approach to designing her space is much the same as designing her recipes \u2013 she focuses on what makes her happy and incorporates that into her space. Her suggestion?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrainstorm 10 moments when you felt at your happiest. If you write down fresh air, nature, a beautiful view, or an incredible meal &#8211; use these elements to build your creative space. I\u2019m happiest when I\u2019m comfortable. Some of the happiest memories of mine are on the sofa.

It\u2019s got to be things that give you pleasure and that are comfortable for you. It\u2019s about how it makes you feel. And it takes time.

It doesn\u2019t come fully formed so there\u2019s a lot of explaining and taking an open-minded approach.
