I'’m excited to share my journey in interior design with you. For me, it’s never just about selecting a designer lamp, the perfect dining chair, or that striking pop of colour, it’s about creating an atmosphere that feels like home to you.
Yes, I adore the Henry Holland lamp, my go to dining chair is Cesca, and I can’t resist the charm of Edward Bulmer’s Clove. But what truly makes a space memorable isn’t merely these statement pieces it’s the overall ambiance.
Creating a Unique Atmosphere
Interior design is about crafting an environment that speaks to your soul. It’s the subtle interplay of light, texture, and colour that transforms a room from a simple space into an experience. While practicality is key ensuring that every element serves a purpose—there’s an undeniable magic in how a space makes you feel. For instance, I cherish plans and soft earth colours for their calming effect, yet I’ve seen how a deep burgundy in an office can spark creativity and energy. This balance between functionality and emotional resonance is what makes design so personal and dynamic.
The Essential Elements
Lighting: Lighting is the backbone of any design. The right lighting setup can elevate a room, highlight its features, and completely change its mood. Without careful lighting, even the cosiest furnishings can’t create a welcoming atmosphere.
Mix of Textures: Layering textures adds depth and interest. From sleek surfaces to soft fabrics, the careful combination of textures creates a tactile narrative that invites you to explore every corner of the space.
Colour and Material Palette: While standout pieces capture attention, it’s the overall harmony of colours and materials that builds the atmosphere. Whether it’s the understated elegance of neutral tones or a bold, vibrant hue, every choice contributes to a room that feels like home.
Personal Touches: No design is complete without elements that reflect your lifestyle. I cherish plants—not only do they bring a touch of nature and vibrancy into any room, but they also create a living, breathing atmosphere that adds warmth and character. Every detail, from art on the walls to the thoughtful arrangement of furniture, should help create a space that feels welcoming and lived in.
Beyond the Basics:
Spatial Flow and Functionality: A well-designed space is not only beautiful but also practical. The flow between areas, the balance of open and intimate spaces, and the careful planning of every detail ensure that the room works for you in everyday life.
Quality Over Quantity: Sometimes, less is more. Investing in a few high-quality pieces rather than overcrowding a room with too many items can make a significant impact on the overall feel of the space.
Attention to Detail: From the way a room is lit at different times of the day to how textures and colours interact under various lighting conditions, every detail matters. These nuances come together to create an environment that is both practical and inspiring.
Interior design is so much more than assembling beautiful objects—it’s about creating an atmosphere that tells your story and feels welcoming every day. Whether you’re drawn to soft earth tones or bold, creative colours, the key is to design a home that not only looks stunning but also feels like home.
