THE BRIEF

When Katrina and Stuart bought their cottage, they knew it needed some TLC, a complete home transformation. However, they struggled to find the time and confidence to take on the project. With full-time jobs keeping them busy, they worried about making costly mistakes and missing the chance to create their dream home.

THE DETAILS

We worked together to uncover their personal style, which gave them the confidence to make bolder, more creative decisions. We redesigned the layout, a complete home transformation, to maximise space and flow, and developed layered, colourful schemes that felt both fresh and personal, while still honouring the charm and character of the original cottage.

ROOM TO BREATHE

Opening up the two rooms wasn’t just practical—it transformed how the home feels and flows, inviting in more light and connecting views throughout the space.

THE SHOWSTOPPER

For this beautiful home transformation we set out to celebrate the cottage’s original charm. Naturally, it was these characterful details that first captured Katrina and Stewart’s hearts. By drenching the space in rich teal from ceiling to walls to sofa, we achieved the perfect balance of striking and colourful yet relaxing and peaceful. Bold furnishings complement the depth of colour, while the stunning stone fireplace remains the true focal point, grounding the space with timeless warmth.

THE RESULT

Now, every inch of their home works hard for them. Thoughtful storage, well-planned spaces, and a decor that truly reflects their personality have turned this cottage into something uniquely theirs—more than they ever imagined possible.
