I always aim to give you a fresh insight and tips beyond the standard interiors advice you’ll find elsewhere, so dive in and enjoy!

Mastering ‘Visual Language’ in Interiors
The type of interiors I create are usually in historic buildings, layered with colour and variety, weaving together the narrative my clients bring with the character of the architecture. When combining so many different elements, the key is mastering ‘visual language’.
Pieces which share a common visual language, regardless of their time period or geographical origin, tend to sit well together. Without the constraint of sticking to one time period or style, it becomes possible to approach a complex design brief with confidence. This is what allows a house to feel coherent without becoming predictable.
What is a design concept?
Someone asked me what I meant by ‘Spatial Planning Concept’ and I thought, what an excellent question! It can be easy to fall into using design jargon when you eat, sleep and breathe interiors, so here’s a bit of a glossary and in insider’s view of the interior design journey. I hope it’s helpful!
