Client Testimonial

 

Lead Designer: Gaby

It’s great to see so much colour, where did the inspo come from?

I designed the property in the autumn, so I guess the trees and surrounding grounds were a strong influence.  The kitchen had already been chosen and was a beautiful shade of green so that tied in nicely with the burnt orange.  I introduced some accents of charcoal which tied in the leaded windows.  Because this is a family home I wanted to create a fun and vibrant feel so the bold use of colour and quirky details with headboard shapes that I had made bespoke to the scheme gave that fun element.

The accessories and styling are gorgeous, how do you add those final touches?

We have a great stylist – Nen – who I worked closely with to curate those final touches.  We talked about the atmosphere I was creating and how the accessories would enhance the overall look.  Nen sourced some wonderful vases, objet pieces and soft furnishings that built on my design and colour scheme, but added that extra level of detail.
