HOME + GARDENS
we can make our clients ’ projects come to life . We like to meet our clients in their homes and talk through design aspirations to make sure we have a shared vision . We can be in our clients ’ homes for a long time , especially if the project is big .
What design trends did you see in 2023 and what are you expecting to see in 2024 ?
Large grain marble was big last year ; I think it will continue into 2024 . Marble is a massive expense and adding a worktop or bathroom tiles with large grain is commitment in itself . Although we love this look , I would not recommend an installation so committed , especially if you do not plan to decorate again within the next five years .
Gold and brass were really big in 2023 . I think they are set to stay in 2024 , especially in lighting , but after meeting with the kitchen company we work with , it seems nickel and chrome are set to make a comeback .
What is the most satisfying thing about being an interior designer and what do you enjoy most about it ?
Interior design is only 20 % design , especially if you run your own business and oversee all of the elements which make up interior design as a whole . We project manage our workforce , have customer interface , we source products , sales , marketing and styling . The part of the job we both feel we enjoy the most is install week and styling . Watching all the hard work come together and handing over the project to our clients for them to enjoy !
