DESIGN BRIEF, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Louise' loft had all the essential elements, beams, height, architecture. But Louise was stumped in trying to find a way forward to modernise and update her interior. She asked me to help and I was more than happy to offer some creative designs as the loft had bags of potential, it just needed a little confidence and a nudge to find a way forward.
We started by replacing the flowery wallpaper with neutral decor and changed the traditional furniture to low profile contemporary versions. The kitchen units were replaced with vintage aged wood, including a breakfast bar, which did double duty as a worktop. We also added bold artwork, characterful accessories and industrial lighting. London? New York, no Frome!

Louise review
"Before Annie’s visit I had always found it difficult to visualise changes to the interior layout of my loft style flat. I had become tired of how things looked and lacked ideas about how to add what was missing. The whole process was enlightening from beginning to end. Annie listened carefully to what I was looking for and was sensitive to how much I wanted to change colours and layout.
Even on her first visit she gave me simple ideas about how to arrange the pictures and soft furnishings I already had to make the most of the space and also reflect my own personality and interests. Annie’s graphics were really helpful and enabled me to see exactly how things could be – both a safe and a more daring option with layout and colours.
She then listened to what I liked about the new layout and showed me what changes I could make without a huge cost outlay. Annie’s warm ,open approach was so helpful throughout the process – she could see possibilities I couldn’t even imagine!"
