How the room came together.

The brief

The client showed me some images of mid century rooms he liked. We used them to select a colour palette with a concentration of rich, dark wall colours, rattan insets, natural woods and warm, tactile velvets or loose weave linens.

Some items were sourced off the shelf, some like the curtains and blinds were made to order and some were part of the client's cherished possessions such as his vinyl collection. The result is a very personal interior which fits the client like a glove.

what Ola said -
I could not recommend Vicki more! As someone who does not consider themself creative, I was looking for the right designer to help me realise my vision. In Vicki, I found someone who is easily approachable, a great listener and was able to collaborate with me to create the final product. From the first conversation the project was in the right hands. We set a time to view the flat together and hash out details. Vicki was able to tease out my style preferences, what I liked, disliked, and made the entire process as individualised to me as possible. I was extremely excited with the final design and eager to get started. On the project management side, Vicki did all the legwork, so I didn’t have to! She found a reputable tradesman and competitive prices, consulted with them on my behalf and oversaw the creation from start to finish. I was completely calm and assured the project was in the right hands. I am eternally grateful for finding Vicki and her services, as I am sure you will be too!
