A New Project

A new project - http://www.aprilhamilton.com/


Simply stunning, I recently had the pleasure of creating the most wonderful interior nestled in the English countryside. The enquiry came early last year and the client asked if I could help with a family home by introducing new furniture soft furnishings and lighting?

I drove out on a lovely sunny morning, thinking about what I could bring to the owners new home, with sat nav instructing me, I was able to just enjoy the views either sides of the lanes and the beautiful properties en route...

Reaching my destination I turned into a gravelled entrance, pushing the button of the entry system I introduced myself and the gates majestically opened onto a winding drive, I drove through with that lovely crunching sound under the car and admired the sweeping lawns and formal topiary garden, set out symmetrically in front of the house -

I took in the architecture as I walked slowing towards the front door & was greeted by the client....

The house was a perfect model to dress, with wooden flooring, high Georgian windows and a Yale conservatory, which was to die for.  My brief was to enhance and include a few items of furniture that were to stay and make the house very much into a home ~ I used my favourite paint companies which are Little green paint  and paper and paint library, for the basis of the designs, silk curtains, cream linen sofas, Perspex lamps from Andrew Martin  with wall lights from Porta Romana mixed and danced across the drawing room  upon silk rugs making one of my favourite rooms to date.

If you have a moment do look at living rooms at http://www.aprilhamilton.com/gallery/living-spaces/

I hope you will recognise the rooms I've been speaking about?
