Feast your eyes on this sophisticated and elegant soft pink & blue bedroom, where our Head of Design, Lucy, has worked her magic. It’s no wonder that this is our most loved home transformation!
Now, we all know that storage is a necessary evil, but Lucy has managed to make it look like a work of art. She's fit in storage on both sides of the fireplace and an enormous wardrobe on the other side of the room, without making it an eyesore.
In fact, she suggested that the customer should paint the wardrobes the same colour as the wall behind them, creating a seamless and cohesive look that's easy on the eyes.
We think the real star of the show is the artwork and fireplace that provide a great contrast against the blue walls, catching your eye instead. And before you ask, you can find these paint colours and all the products that make up this breath-taking room here.

By simply hanging the door to the room on the other side, Lucy has created a whole new perspective. You're not greeted by a bulky wardrobe when you enter the room, but instead, you're guided towards the blue feature wall and the gorgeous, wide, windows flooding the space with natural light.
It's the little details that make all the difference, and Lucy has certainly nailed it with this transformation.
This downstairs cloakroom is not just any old room, it's the stuff of dreams! In fact, the family loves it so much they've given it a nickname - 'The Jungle John’. And it's not hard to see why! This transformation is a testament to the power of creativity and a splash of colour.
Gone are the days of boring, cramped loos! If you're feeling a bit lacklustre with your home decor, take a page from this family's book and inject a bit of pizzazz into your cloakroom. This is the perfect opportunity to unleash your inner wild child and experiment with bold colours and funky patterns. And don't be afraid to go all out - after all, this is a space that's meant to make a statement!

We helped our lovely customer Amy transform many rooms in their home but the master bedroom is one of our favourites! Her handpicked designer took a space that was about as exciting as plain oatmeal and turned it into a stunning, celebrity-worthy suite.
Amy and her hubby needed a place to unwind after their crazy days, so our fabulous interior designer, Sarah, got to work creating the ultimate mood board and 2D visual to help them envision their dream space. See the full design here or check out Amy's full house tour here.
Sarah knew just what to do to take this room from blah to beautiful. She used dramatic navy paint to create a bold contrast against the pale pink plush pillows and gold hardware. The end result is a cosy and inviting space that oozes glamour and sophistication.

Ah, the humble hallway - the first impression of your home and the sneak peek of what's to come. It's the underdog of rooms, often overlooked and underappreciated. But this warm and welcoming grand entrance should change your mind!
This vast empty hall originally looked a little intimidating. Where do you start making a bland echoey space a cosy and inviting one? Well, this is what we did: we used a fresh and light colour palette, with a touch of grey on the lower walls to bring out the dado rail.
Let's not forget the black balustrade and the gorgeous dark blue front door, commanding attention and stealing the show. But that's not all - the designer also incorporated an existing rustic chest of drawers, giving the hallway a touch of charming character.
And in the narrowest room of the house, what's the secret to creating the illusion of greater width? A large feature mirror, of course! It bounces light around and gives the impression of a wider space. Who knew a hallway could be so sophisticated and stylish? Our expert designers, that’s who!

With period features that are the envy of all, this space oozes calmness. The walls are as fresh as a daisy, with cosy textures galore thanks to throws, cushions, and rugs that'll make you want to curl up and never leave. Our expert designer used some clever design tricks, which modernised the room in a flash!
She reduced the wooden elements to let the floor do the work and replaced the drab magnolia walls with a fresh coat of white paint. Plus, those incredible arched doors? They're the cherry on top, making everything in the room fit together like a puzzle.
And if you're tired of clutter, bespoke, fitted storage is always a winner! It'll help you make the most of those awkward spaces and maximize storage, so you can finally breathe easy. So what are you waiting for? Come on in and make yourself at home!

This is not just any ordinary makeover but one that was masterfully pieced together by our designer, Celine for her own home! Talk about practising what you preach.
Celine's bathroom was in dire need of a renovation when she moved in. The layout was a bit of a mess, with an awkwardly placed bath that ate up most of the space, leaving barely any room for a decent-sized storage unit. But fear not, because Celine was about to work her magic.
By rotating the bath and tiling the wall behind it with the same tile, she created an optical illusion that made the room look much more spacious than it actually is. And who doesn’t love a little extra floor space in their bathroom?
Celine also installed recessed shelving to store all those pesky bottles that always seem to end up on the side of the bath, making the whole place look like a mess. With Celine’s genius design skills, the bathroom is now a serene and spacious oasis that we’re all a little envious of. Kudos to Celine for knocking it out of the park! You can see more of Celine's beautiful home in her house tour here.

This old, musty, and asbestos-infested room was transformed into a glitzy and glamorous master bedroom fit for royalty! This entire room was inspired by a sentimental piece of artwork painted by none other than the owner's grandfather.
The artwork sits pride of place in a gallery wall above the bed. The greens and antique brass frame in the painting were the catalysts for the entire colour scheme and decor choice- including a teak wood bed and gold hardware and lighting.
We love the large built-in wardrobe that sits on the opposite wall, commanding attention and admiration from all who enter. To pay homage to the Victorian roots of the home, we carefully handpicked some stunning shaker-style doors. The classic design of these doors adds a touch of traditional elegance to the space while still staying true to a modern aesthetic, especially with the addition of the contemporary gold handles!

The built-in dressing table takes pride of place next to the window, which provides the ideal lighting for putting on makeup. The traditional patterns and styles in this space give off an air of elegance and sophistication, while the modern elements infuse a contemporary touch to the overall aesthetic.
And to take things up a notch, we've incorporated some low-level ambient lighting. This type of lighting is essential in the bedroom because it creates a warm and cosy atmosphere, perfect for winding down and preparing for a restful night's sleep.
The soft glow from the ambient lighting adds an extra layer of comfort and relaxation, making the space a truly inviting haven. So go ahead, sink into your bed and let the good vibes wash over you.

This customer’s lounge has been transformed from an awkward space with a clunky layout and empty feel to a calm and cosy happy place. Now it’s the perfect spot to snuggle up on cold winter nights with your loved ones and catch a movie.
Our incredible interior designer, Milena, worked her magic and continued the theme of modern-style panelling that runs throughout the home, seamlessly blending traditional elements with contemporary flair. She even added pops of pink and blue accents to tie the whole space together and create a cohesive colour story that flows throughout the house.
But what really sets this room apart is the layering of textures - from the soft and luxurious throw to the plush rug and comfy cushions, you'll feel like you're sinking into a cloud the moment you enter.

This room, as you can see, required a lot of renovation. This small Victorian living room is at the front of the house and gains very little natural light so coming up with a colour scheme was tricky. You may have heard that you should paint small, dark rooms white in order to make them feel bigger. Well, this isn’t the case!
Without natural light, neutral colours can look flat and boring. That's why we took a different approach and embraced the intimate atmosphere of the small space. We created a warm, dark, and cosy snug, perfect for this couple to retreat to in the evenings and bask in the comforting ambience.
Our designers have lots of tricks up their sleeves for small living rooms (which you can read about here!), and we put them to use in this room. Fitted, built-in furniture was a must-have versus bulky free-standing options.
We strategically placed a mirror above the fireplace to bounce light around the room and give the illusion of depth. And we painted the storage unit and shelves the same colour as the walls to make them invisible! We also used this same trick on the skirting boards and door-frames, which made the ceilings feel taller.
Don't be afraid to embrace the cosy and intimate atmosphere of a small room. With a few clever tricks, you can create a space that feels just right for you. Click here to see the full house tour for this beautiful Victorian renovation.
