I wanted to share more photographs and a bit more about this piece and my collaboration on this with Leo Wood - an incredible interior designer based in South East London.
Leo reached out to me via Instagram, and we began working on this bespoke piece for one of her projects.
This vintage, slightly unusual sideboard, which I spotted locally on Facebook Marketplace, was a great find and perfectly fitted to become a hallway console.
The fabrics and colours in Leo’s design became the starting point for my initial sketches. The pattern evolved to work with the piece of furniture, its size and the way the drawers are proportioned. We refined the design together, messaging back and forth.
Scroll to the end to see how this vintage piece looked before, the final slide shows my iPad sketch. Alongside colour, I also wanted to bring in texture to give the piece more depth.
I really enjoy creating something entirely unique and tailored to a space. I hope the owners of this beautifully designed home will love it. Thanks Leo!
