One downsizing couple, who were moving from the country to the city, needed expert help to ensure their new home was as welcoming as their old one - designer Liv Wallers stepped in
HOW DID YOU COME TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT?
The owners were downsizing from a house in the country to a London townhouse; Yellow London was bought in to tailor the space to suit their new lifestyle.
WHAT WERE THE BIGGEST PRIORITIES FOR THE HOMEOWNERS?
The homeowners wanted to create a home full of warmth and personality that also maximised the space available, especially as they were moving into a smaller property. Their brief was to update some of their much-loved pieces and to create a characterful home that had a comfortable mix of new and old.
WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THE SCHEME?
