Rethinking flow before finishes.


 The house had beautiful bones but felt dark and disconnected. What began as a single-room brief quickly grew into a full review of how the home worked as a whole. Through my Before You Build planning stage, we explored layout options that opened up light and connection between spaces.

Designing how it feels, not just how it looks. Once the flow felt right, I developed a Colour & Style concept that focused on feeling. The goal was to create a home that felt warm, calm, and welcoming. Every palette choice was guided by emotion and balanced with practicality.

Layering warmth and texture. Autumn-inspired tones, natural materials, and soft variations in texture brought depth to each room. From flooring and lighting to fabrics and finishes, each decision added comfort and calm.

A home that feels like home. The finished spaces are relaxed, comfortable, and full of warmth. The design connects every room with colour and light, creating a home that feels effortless and lived in.
