KITCHEN | PROJECT
Brief: Natural light, storage, and island for entertainment that was easy to maintain, robust for a family, look & feel amazing (it is tactile heaven!)
I loved that the clients wanted a hint of colour that still had to feel connected to the scheme - depth (yes - it’s my “it” word!).
The nook at the end to allow family & friends to sit & chat without getting in the way of the meal preparations.
Smaller tiles to the back yet another element that makes you reach out & touch.
I love this space x

BATHROOM & ENSUITE | PROJECT
The renovation also included the main bathroom & ensuite. Tiles selected to continue the feel of natural, earth tones + keeping in mind that this is a family home so it needed to be user friendly, easy to maintain (but still look amazing - of course!) x

MAIN BEDROOM | Korora project.
I love to create a bedroom space where you finally get to switch off. Where the walls feel like they telling you to relax, take a deep breathe & allow your headspace to stop.
Here, we also wanted the inside to feel like it connected with the outside. How could you not just lie in bed & stare out those windows & dream x

ENSUITE | Korora project.
So big that you could host a party! Keeping the same scheme upstairs with the tiles & PC items, this space feels different due to its size (of course!) but because it has a huge amount of beautiful natural light.
Once the external planting has time to mature, it will create a lovely feeling of a private sanctuary x

POWDER ROOM | Korora project
The clients wanted to create a room where you are forever discovering something new, a connection to country that is the beautiful backdrop + that personal touch of having a custom, hand painted design.
Beautiful natural crazy paving stone with a soft pastel mosaic, touch of rattan & of course the hero piece by the clever . You cannot help but love this space x

MID-CENTURY | Working on this project 🙌🏻
Existing pendant by Danish lighting designer Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Morop “Corona” circa 1960.
We matched it with a bold, graphic carpet to the staircase, maintaining the existing brickwork & handrail x

Mood | Can be created with 1 x wall colour.
Switch off in your main bedroom with a deeper
(depth - yep there it is again!) tone rather than a bright, alert white.
Can you mix your existing traditional furniture pieces with a touch of modern - I believe so x
