The core elements of the room were to remain, i.e. fireplace, carpets. Client was looking to move away from her previous colour scheme and really loved the dark greens. The doors lead out onto a garden at the start of a river so bringing organic elements into the room worked well. Clients existing eyelet curtains were altered to modern wave curtains with a metropole fitted in bronze. The wallpaper colour tones were warm and Next Velvet chairs added accent seating to the room and worked with a neutral sofa.

This lounge is the heart of the family home and although well used it had not been updated in many years and the client needed a space to feel relaxed but inspired. The dark walls and woodwork created a cocoon feel adding the feeling of relaxation. My client required somewhere that reflected and reminded her of past holidays and future plans of places to visit. This is seen in the moroccan influenced fireplace tiles and oriental feel to the wallpaper design. The wood fire surround is existing but given a fresh colour and patterned tiles it become the focus in the space. More photos of this project to follow.

This living room was part of a whole-house renovation completed in Tunbridge Wells. It has the original fireplace and contemporary additions added such as the column radiators. The large windows allow natural light to flood in making the space incredibly bright and inviting.

This project involved the renovation of the front reception room and refresh of the master bedroom. I sourced a new contemporary fireplace and designed new joinery for the space. I designed a beautiful emerald green/amethyst colour scheme and helped my client pick out some pieces from her art collection which i felt would work well within the scheme. I sourced some beautiful chairs, side tables, rug, a mirror and feature pendant light. I also sourced lovely fabrics for cushions and to upholster some chairs and pouffes. The master bedroom was given a refresh with a new colour scheme, curtains, bedside lights and cushions.
