Speaking to HELLO! in an interview introducing their baby boy in December, Kara said: "We love our life in the city but I want to enjoy the first months of motherhood and take some time out from work, and away from all the usual rushing around I do in London. I am loving being in this bubble. It’s challenging and calming all in one and I want to savour it, but I’ll always love my work, it’s in my blood."
The new mum will be able to relax at their gorgeous home, which they have filled with plants and greenery, creating a peaceful sanctuary in central London. Scroll through the gallery to see more of Kara’s home…

The couple’s home has an open-plan living space with a seating area at one end of the room, with sofas, a wooden coffee table and patterned rug, then a long dining table at the centre of the space, where they could enjoy their family Christmas dinner.

The room also has a neutral colour scheme with wooden flooring, but they have added character with a patterned rug, teal bedspread, and wall art.
