Now more than ever our homes have become our sanctuary – a haven for us to feel comfort and protection, a space from which to virtually connect with extended family and friends, to discover new creative skills or rediscover past hobbies as well as a versatile space or dedicated room for our home office and all-important virtual classroom for our children. Spending more time indoors provides the perfect opportunity for us to better understand our habits and rhythms and how we ideally want each space within our home to function and to look. And with spring finally here, now is the perfect time to start planning a refreshing update or full refurbishment for your home.
To provide some inspiration, we take a look at the top interior design trends for spring/summer 2020. We would love to know your favourite trend and hope that we can support you in refreshing, maintaining, or enhancing your spaces in the coming months.

Classic Blue
This year, Pantone’s Colour of the Year is Classic Blue. Intimate and calming, blue interiors represent harmony, safety and stability. One of the great things about blue is its versatility. Dark tones can bring drama to a space whereas paler shades can act as a calming base note. In our blog post ‘Why the coolest colour of 2020 is here to stay’, we look at why blue is such an effective colour to use in interiors, and explore some of the ways in which we’ve applied this versatile shade to some of our projects.
How we can bring your home renovation project to life
Complete turnkey solutions for exclusive interior design and interior architecture projects
Specialising in high-end residential interior design, corporate and hospitality projects, we will take care of the entire process from start to finish, regardless of size or scope.
Listen
We begin the process by listening to your individual specifications and interpreting them accordingly, allowing us to understand your goals, budget, time scale and unique style requirements. This comprehensive conversation with our talented team of designers can take place via telephone or video conference (or in person in the not too distant future).
Survey
Now that we have a clear picture of you and your requirements, our experienced team will conduct a comprehensive site survey to construct a clear plan of how to effectively use and enhance your space. This will also help us assess any health and safety issues and, if applicable, produce and submit planning applications with your local council and collate full drawing packages for tender.
Design and Planning
Paying close attention to space, line, forms, light, colour, texture and pattern, we begin the process of translating our research into a workable design solution, which includes sourcing high quality furniture, fixtures and appliances (depending on the scope of your project). Once your unique design plan has been agreed, we provide detailed drawings and documents to allow you to visualise your new space and make any necessary changes, along with a comprehensive bill of quantities (project budget estimate.)
