A little bit about trust…
This review absolutely made my day.
And there’s something in it that I think is worth talking about, because working with an interior designer requires a surprising amount of trust.
This particular client knew what she liked. She had great pieces already, plenty of ideas and very definite opinions – which I love.
But when it’s your own home, it can be incredibly hard to step back and see the whole picture. And when someone suggests moving something you love, choosing something you wouldn’t normally choose, or not doing the thing you were convinced you needed to do… well, handing over that little bit of control doesn’t always come naturally. 😉
Trust builds as the process unfolds.
You make one decision. Then another. Things start connecting. You begin to see why we chose that rug, why the scale of that piece matters, or why I keep banging on about proportion and cohesion.
And somewhere along the way, you stop looking at each decision in isolation and start seeing the home as a whole.
My job has never been to walk into somebody’s home and impose my taste on it.
It’s to listen, guide, sometimes gently challenge, and bring together all those things you already love in a way that feels considered, cohesive and – most importantly – like you.
So when a client says:
“It still feels personal and collected, just far more considered and cohesive.”
That, for me, is the whole bloody point.
Thank you for trusting me with your home. ❤️
