Before and after home office design. Small rooms can be a challenge to design, this home office was small and an awkward shape. I created a feature on the largest wall to backdrop the office and create the illusion of space. The paneled wall is upholstered in a Warwick Fabrics faux suede with a feature panel of forest and is the star of the show

Before and after

“Ruth's approach to design is the perfect blend of proactive ideas and reacting creatively to what crumbs of information you give her. My project was really important to me as it is the heart of the house and I wanted it to be renovated so it remained a warm space but was more user friendly and stylish . Ruth listened to what was important to me and filled in the gaps to create a room that exceeded all my expectations. Ruth's design and Simon's exquisite craftsmanship have transformed my family room and is my favourite room of the house "
