Hello summer 2023! (it�’s raining today). You may remember a couple of years ago, I shared the completed living room at The Coach House project in Harrogate. Here it is… Before, this room, along with the rest of the house was rather dull and uninspiring. Having been recently “flipped” by a property developer, it was presentable enough to sell, but in order to make it feel like home for its new owner, it needed a little love and inspiration. Before – 2020 And now ... Open Plan Kitchen Diner, Old Kitchen, Dining Sofa, Crittall, Walnut Cabinets, Small Outdoor Spaces, Chimney Breast, Niche Design, Making Space

Hello everyone! I’m back with some updates and final reveal pics from one of my slow burner projects. It’s been hard, but something I’ve had to accept is that when things really picked up for Making Spaces a few years ago, it meant I didn’t have time to sit down and write about my job, because I’m so busy doing the job. The projects I love and am trying to focus on are full house renovations, extensions and builds and how to create real impact with those at planning Interior Design Jobs, Antique Persian Rug, Bedroom Windows, Harrogate, Painted Paper, Drawing Room, Bay Window, Rose Design

Let’s start with this room: Before – sales listing This will soon be the guest bedroom on the top floor of a lovely big Victorian house in Ilkley.

Well this sounds very serious doesn’t it? What is Domestic Anthropology? It’s the study of human behaviours and how our cultures, traditions and societal changes have affected how we use our homes. I’m fascinated by people, particularly how individuals and families interact, move around one another and within their four walls. Everything I’ve learned about people’s habits, pathways and needs in the home environment has been banked and informs all of my design.
