She also tasked me with rejigging the layout to make the space work better for her and her husband, who use it for relaxing, entertaining, dining and occasional working. She was keen to retain the room’s bright and airy ambience, but wanted to inject some warmth, add some much-needed storage and invest in some new furniture. She then turned it into a reality, and it was wonderful to see the finished space in person.Īs you might have guessed from her Instagram handle, Triz is a fellow minimalist and had already created a great blank canvas, painting the walls white and fitting a beautiful oak floor. I started with an hour-long consultation so I could get a feel for the space, Triz’s taste and her budget (done on site in this instance, but I can use Zoom for those who aren’t based locally), before getting to work on the scheme.

She opted for my full-room package, which gives clients a bespoke design with everything they need (mood board, floor plan, visual renderings, clickable shopping list) to implement it in their own time and at their own pace.

Triz lives near me in Bristol and we’ve been following each other on Instagram for a while now, so I was delighted when she asked me for help transforming her living room. So, I’m very excited to be able to show you the results of one of my favourite projects to date, created for Triz of. Many people (understandably) are reluctant to have their homes featured online, and in any case lockdown has made it virtually impossible for me to visit them to take photos over the last year. It’s not often I get to share my finished client designs.
