By The Design Co
This suburban hairdresser needed a new look to freshen up her salon. While not wanting to invest huge money in an interior fit out of a leased premise, we went for high impact wallpaper and glossy black tiles to create a dramatic backdrop for the owner’s quirky art collection.
A dressing table was a repurposed as a reception desk after a professional paint job – the cameo handles are a personal touch by the owner. As a dog lover, she couldn’t resist the wallpaper of dogs and deer posing for period portraits.
The salon chairs were re-upholstered in silver vinyl for a new lease of life and the benches are laser cut acrylic that look like marble.
Splashes of pink and rose gold add lustre and fun for clients and staff alike.
