QUICK FIRE QUESTIONS
Key trends shaping 2024/25 interiors?
Textures and more natural materials such as linens, cottons, wools and jutes. We are seeing less of the ‘golds’ and shiny materials from recent years and people are focusing more on getting creative with layers. We are also seeing a lot of panelling and fluting in timbers, this creates more depth and a more ‘homely’ feel.
Where to spend on a project?
Lighting and essential furniture pieces such as sofas and beds are incredibly important. If our clients are on a budget, these are the key areas that will shine through in both quality and practicality.
Where to save on a project?
We like to mix high end with high street to balance out budgets. If you are spending out a bit more on essential furniture items we often source accessories and smaller items from high street stores to save on the budget. Mixing high end and high street will still give you a quality ending result but for a more affordable price.
Favourite room to design, and why?
Emily likes designing Master Bedrooms as it is always such a tranquil space which can be made into a safe haven for our clients. Danielle loves designing bathrooms as there are so many amazing suppliers out there so not one bathroom is ever the same.
Top lighting tip or trick?
Layering lighting to create a nice ambience is very important to us when designing. We often layer lighting in built in joinery to create a low level ambience or add wall lights to create depth. The mix in heights of lighting always creates a lovely calming feel.
Favourite Heathfield lamp?
We have so many favourites! At the moment we are loving Ayda, Nuri and Astri which are all very textured and neutral.
