newly created open plan living room space.
While Bronwen felt very comfortable with a
grey palette, she loved the deep matt lacquer
blue of Angus’ own kitchen and unquestionally
trusted Clare’s advice to embrace this colour in
her home too, resulting in a highly successful
design feature. The deep blue wrap around
feature wall absorbs the full height living
room cabinets, while clearly differentiating
the kitchen & dining room from the sitting
room within the open plan living space. The
colour adds a welcome depth to the scheme,
grounding the soft grey oak flooring, light grey
walls and matt lacquer grey kitchen.
During the building works, Bronwen was faced
with continued questions for answers to interior
decisions. Clare happily acted as a sounding
board, offering up solutions and points to
consider to help guide Bronwen to making
decisions with confidence. This extended
beyond the kitchen design and colour palette
for the space to lighting, furniture, window
treatments, accessories, decorative details and
final styling. Angus & Clare offered the same
advice, albeit separately, giving Bronwen the
confidence to make bold the design decisions
that result in the final interior being such a
triumph.
Bronwen was the perfect client. By embracing
all the design ideas and direction Angus
and Clare offered, and by trusting that both
understood her brief, the project restrictions
and her vision for the home she wanted to
create for her and her two boys.
For the final touches, Clare called upon the
skills of personal friend, blogger and burgeoning
Interior Stylist Karen Baldry of @thislittlecorner.
A fellow member of the Design Collective
Chichester, with both Clare & Angus, Clare
could see that Karen’s naturally British ‘Scandi-
noir’ style would be prefect to add the final
embelishments to the interior. Karen’s touches
include the on trend use of trailing plants and
succulents to the invaluable familiy noticeboard
– sure to keep this busy, tidy family organised.
