HOW DID YOU COME TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT?

The clients hadn't used an interior designer before but came across our website/Instagram and liked our style.

WHAT WAS THE BRIEF?

To create a classic, homely interior; somewhere that showcased high-end materials and finishes but still with a welcoming vibe.

DESCRIBE YOUR/THE HOMEOWNER'S STYLE

Timeless, adding in beautiful period details such as panelling and cornices, which we love, too.

WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THE SCHEME?

A classic English home with a contemporary edge, as well as a light and airy interior.
