Deeply Personal Collection

Creating a deeply personal style room is all about making the space feel like a reflection of your unique self, a place where you feel comfortable, inspired, and truly at home. It's a journey of self-discovery and intentional design, going beyond simply following trends. History and architecture sit at the core of any design and it is specifically use of texture and colour that bring fresh energy and joy to a space. The interiors are luxurious and characterful.

There is a passion for preservation of heritage and the promotion of artist’s. The Personal Collection marries the old and the new and the elegant and the eclectic.

The decorative philosophy marries rigorous architectural appreciation with an abiding passion for color, art, and literature.

Do not be afraid of color, as it deflects negative energy. Throughout the home, there is effortlessly layered a mélange of antique and upcycled, classic and exotic, patterned and patinaed. Mixing things together, that’s the beauty of the job.

Reusing, recycling, and reimagining. It’s lovely to keep rejuvenating all these beautiful things.

Try out different arrangements and elements. Your personal style is a journey of trial and error, and it can evolve over time. 

Ultimately, a deeply personal style room is a reflection of your personality, interests, and the emotions you want to experience in your home.

It's a space that brings you joy, comfort, and a profound sense of belongings.
