Interior design project for a heritage North Shore townhouse

I met my customers over 13 years ago when I was asked to be involved in the interior design project of a large country home. It was a very exiting project! I worked closely with my clients who had a great eye for detail and colour. Over a few months we gradually selected the furniture, lighting, rugs and curtains; everything down to the prints and the framing.

A few months ago I had to go meet someone near where they lived and called them to say hi. They had just purchased a new house in the North Shore of Sydney by the harbour, and were planning on contacting me to develop the interior design for their new home.

The brief is to create something that is casual and elegant with a coastal feel, mixing some French elements with a more modern fresh feel.
