Styling, designing and decorating over the past nine years, I've come to find I really like holding people's hands. Good job I'm not one for following trends *lol*
But everyone is entitled to their own opinion, yes? Hope I haven't offended anyone's recent installation. Right to the bottom of the deep blue sea. I'm all for urban / industrial / concrete interiors but this is just not ever going to float my boat, it definitely sinks it. It reminds me of stark hallways and staircases in department stores, apartment blocks and government buildings. If damaged, a specialist needs to re-grind and re-polish it. I worked on a commercial project not long ago where we ripped out skip loads of the stuff, did we make a big mistake?ĭon't get me wrong, I LOVE marble, timelessly elegant, both classical and contemporary. From a country that is king of all decor ornate and über elaborate. Terrazzo is a composite material made of marble chippings set into cement. So imagine my thoughts when I hear that 2018 heralds the bringing back of terrazzo floor tiling, works tops, bathroom countertops.you name it. Whoops, I just emptied the wood burner ash over the floor! Splattered paint all over the floor? Erm, that begs for the question "did you spill the paint pot before you got started decorating?!" The technique, especially when applied to the floor, is literally something that makes my toes curl. Splatter-dashed floor aka messy, needs-a-clean floor You may have heard of "spatter-dashing", which is the the method of painting floors with splattered speckles of colour, is an iconic, age old technique dating back to the American Colonial period.

It's affordable, quick to turn-around and once I've presented to my client they can crack on feeling fully equipped to implement the design themselves. This is what I mean by hand-holding and probably makes up about 70% of the residential work I undertake. This is the type of request I get time and time again, where a client wants to make changes to their home but just doesn't have the confidence to go it alone or the skill / knowledge to bring it all together, specifying the right elements to create a new look.įor a modest sum, I am able to give clients the confidence, the skills and knowledge, designing for them spaces that they would otherwise not have felt able to achieve. This client wanted me to help her make "bolder interiors choices" as she always "plays it safe". The house required a completely overhaul it was remodelled and renovated, knocking down walls and opening up new spaces, bringing in light and generally modernising it to create a fresh, light, welcoming family home. These are the before and after photos of the bedrooms that I designed for a family home in Torquay. I thought I'd share with you some snaps (professional photos are being taken later - once art has been installed & all soft furnishings in place etc) of a small 'hand-holding' project I carried out recently. but first some blurb about my 'hand-holding' design service and how it works.
