Master Bedroom Interior, Melbourne, Derbyshire
The Brief
This client and I first worked together several years ago. When she called me to ask for help with her lovely new home in Melbourne, I jumped at the chance.
The Design
Inspiration
The design for this interesting space was inspired by an item that was selected for the client’s last home. This lovely Moët & Chandon poster image by Alphonse Mucha has been licensed for use on a decorative Infrared (IR) heating panel. I’m using this technology a lot these days instead of boiler fed radiators – they are very efficient and powered with electricity. As gas boilers are phased out of use, this sort of technology could well be the way forward.
Furniture
The client is delighted with her new leather-covered storage bed, which looks a treat next to her existing chaise long. I love these bed linens in shades of green and red on a crisp white background, and the range of reasonably priced furniture, bedside table, chest-of-drawers and dressing table, provide lots of much needed storage. The mirror was chosen by the client – it picks up the warm metal tones that run through the design while bouncing light around the room.
Window Treatments and Lighting
The Harlequin fabric used to create the pelmet has also been used to recover the cushion on the chaise longue, all made by the ever talented Lynne Kelly Curtains Ltd. The ceiling light and wall light pair cream faux silk shades with antique brass – a really lovely combination. I love getting ready in front of a proper make-up mirror – one with even lighting that can be adjusted for different times of day – and I knew that my client would love it too. This Hollywood Mirror really does the trick!
Emma is a superstar
“Emma is a superstar, she worked on my last house and totally understood not only my need for guidance but also my time restrictions with work and the fact that I would often not be around to make decisions. She took the lead and produced such excellent results that I struggled to say goodbye to that house two years later. Fast forward and we’re working together again and she has got it all down, from level of project management to gentle herding to working in my sometimes insane suggestions – she never misses a beat or drops a ball and manages me just as enthusiastically as the design. Not only would use again, have used again, brilliant :)”
