Asked to describe your design style what would you say?
I guess it’s not so much a style but a feeling. I endeavour to create an interior that is warm and comfortable, cozy and inviting. I like working with rustic and natural products.
What are your top tips when creating a design scheme?
Choose colours, materials and furniture that bring joy and you will love to live with. If you love a piece of furniture for example it will become a timeless piece in your home and stand the test of time.
Favourite design item you are coveting?
Design item I love at the moment are is ‘Boucle’ a fabric that was used in clothing but now available as upholstery fabric. It looks fab on a sofa or in Cushions as in cushion in image below: Lazo Wool Boucle Cushion - Citta design
Favourite recent project?
The Village centre at Cambridge Oaks Lifestyle Village was my favourite project to work on recently.‘The Lodge’ has a high end look but a warm inviting, sit down in front of the fire and have a coffee vibe. Cambridge Oaks is developed by Freedom Villages and built by Venture Developments
What are your top flooring picks at the moment?
Loop pile wool carpets are a huge thing at the moment. The natural fibres add texture and an authentic feel to them which work well with today’s colour palettes.
