A Classic Living Room Update

Helen Shoemark

Decision overwhelm led my clients to enlist my help with refreshing their dated living room. An elegant scheme with longevity was the brief and the following design incorporated classic blue tones with chrome accents for a refined and light filled look which my clients love.

Kitchen Refresh - New Build Home

Helen Shoemark

My clients had lost the love for their kitchen and wanted a refresh which reflected their personalities and would make the room more enjoyable and functional. Creation of a media wall and bench seating with storage made the living zone a more cohesive and cosy space. Styling using slat wood panels in oak, woodland wallpaper and rich green teal walls.

2022 Home Trends - The Chinoiserie Revival

Helen Shoemark

Taking inspiration from the 18th Century trend for Chinese and Oriental wall coverings comes a bold new take on Chinoiserie. Whether it’s a subtle nod in the direction or a head on riot of pattern and colour, Chinoiserie subtly started sneaking back in 2021 but for 2022 there is no doubt it’s returned in a big way.

A Home Office Haven

A botanical inspired design for my clients home office. Now that hybrid and home working has become the norm then why would we choose to sit at a drab desk in a forgotten corner of our homes. By investing in our home office we are investing in our wellbeing. See how nature and femininity has inspired my clients new sanctuary for a productive home working life.

Choosing the Perfect Sofa for your Home

Helen Shoemark

For many of us choosing a new sofa is a big investment so we really want to make sure that we still love it in years to come. In fact, there are so many elements to decide on when selecting the perfect sofa that the whole process can become a little daunting. That’s where my new Sofa Selection Service comes in to play, as I help clients to select the perfect sofa for their home and guide them away from any potential pitfalls helping them to make an informed and happy decision. Oh and did I mention that my service also offers access to my trade discounts with major sofa companies such as Love Your Home, Darlings of Chelsea, Swyft, Loaf and Sofa.com with savings up to 20%!

So what kind of things should be considered when selecting your new sofa? Of course there’s the size; from fitting it through the door way to ensuring it doesn’t over crowed the room and block the flow, plus crucially the correct seat depth for a comfortable lounge. How about the style? For example will you be seating guests and therefore need a slightly more formal style or do you want to cozy down with your feet up to watch a movie in front of the fire at the end of a busy day? Fabrics can also be a tricky decision especially when you throw in to the mix children and pets! Then there’s the colour, leg style, height, filling material, price and manufacturers guarantee. Phew! Who knew it could all be so complex. But as a I mentioned before…it doesn’t have to be if you give me a call!
