How do you come up with a scheme for a blank canvass?

First of all I start with a colour palette.  I took inspiration from a piece of contemporary artwork I liked, which had lots of warm earthy tones.  I drew on all the colours from the picture and used them throughout the home, to a lesser or greater extent in each room.  This allows the whole house to flow seamlessly whilst allowing each room to have it’s own personality.

What do you enjoy most about designing a show home?

I think in some ways not having a specific client in mind can be a real challenge – but I enjoy imagining the family that will live in the space and thinking about all the things that might appeal to them, how they might live their lives and creating a story through the accessories and furnishings I choose.
