This charming powder room is a delightful blend of elegance and natural beauty, accentuated by the organic brushed brass Progetto tapware that adds a touch of sophistication. The stunning wall-hung Lavamani round basin perfectly complements the space, harmonizing beautifully with the custom linen floral wallpaper. This combination creates a serene and inviting atmosphere, making the powder room not just functional, but also a stylish retreat that reflects refined taste and attention to detail.

What the client thought: “Kirsty's involvement turned the vision in my head to reality. She immersed herself completely in our project, providing clear and workable solutions. With her vibrance, knowledge and talent for design she has created a space we couldn't be happier with.” Denise

The floral design of this custom linen wallpaper imparts a distinctive and tranquil ambiance to the powder room, transforming it into a serene haven. The delicate patterns and soft colors create a soothing backdrop that enhances the overall aesthetic, inviting relaxation and a sense of peace. This beautiful feature adds character and charm, making the powder room a truly special space where guests can feel at ease.
The gentle, curved lines of the brushed brass accents seamlessly blend into the overall design of the space, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. These soft contours complement the existing elements, creating a harmonious interplay of textures and finishes. The refined brass detailing not only enhances the aesthetic but also invites warmth, making the room feel inviting and beautifully cohesive.
The stunning curved wall-hung Lavamani round basin harmoniously complements the custom linen wallpaper, creating a seamless blend of elegance and artistry. Its graceful shape adds visual interest and softens the overall aesthetic, while the intricate floral patterns of the wallpaper enhance the basin's refined design. Together, they create a beautifully curated focal point in the powder room, infusing the space with a sense of style and tranquility.
This serene monochromatic palette provides the perfect backdrop for the stunning ‘Kombu’ green fluted wall-hung vanity, allowing it to truly come alive within the space. The rich, textured green hue adds a vibrant pop of color while maintaining a contemporary yet timeless quality that elevates the overall design of the bathroom. This clever juxtaposition underscores the vanity as a striking focal point, infusing the room with character and charm while enhancing its tranquil atmosphere.
The Tribeca Gypsum white herringbone tiles on the back wall introduce a beautiful texture and understated visual interest to the space, setting the perfect stage for the Progetto organic brushed brass shower head to stand out. The elegant pattern of the tiles enhances the overall aesthetic, creating a soft, contemporary backdrop that beautifully contrasts with the warm tones of the brass fixture. This thoughtful design choice not only elevates the shower area but also adds a touch of sophistication, making it a stunning focal point in the bathroom.
The Vista mirrored wall unit enhances the bathroom's functionality by providing additional storage and convenient power outlets, all while contributing to the sleek design. Its reflective surface amplifies natural light, creating a sense of spaciousness. Complementing this piece, the fluted glass wall lamp perfectly aligns with the fluted vanity and other brushed brass elements, creating a cohesive and harmonious aesthetic. Together, these features add both practicality and style, elevating the overall elegance of the bathroom.
The individual brushed brass heated towel rails are a strikingly elegant yet minimalist addition to the bathroom, perfectly contrasting against the Breccia white matt wall tiles. Their sleek design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also provides practical warmth and comfort. The warmth of the brass against the crisp white tiles creates a sophisticated interplay of color and texture, elevating the overall elegance of the bathroom while ensuring functionality and style.
The Niagara round vessel basin offers a stylish and modern touch, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic of the vanity. Its unique design maximizes surface space, allowing for additional room for personal items and decor. This elegant basin not only elevates the contemporary appeal of the bathroom but also serves as a striking focal point that complements the overall design, blending practicality with sophisticated aesthetics seamlessly.
This elegant and sophisticated palette creates a main bathroom that exudes contemporary charm, making it a standout feature of the home. The thoughtful selection of colours and materials combines timeless appeal with a modern twist, resulting in a space that feels both fresh and inviting. This carefully curated design reflects current trends while maintaining a sense of pride and elegance, ensuring that the bathroom is a beautiful retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Before the renovation, the main bathroom was noticeably small and had a dated appearance that limited its functionality and aesthetic appeal. The existing layout constrained movement and made it feel even more confined. However, by repositioning the window and extending into the hallway, we created valuable additional space. This strategic alteration allowed for the integration of larger shower and vanity areas, transforming the bathroom into a more comfortable and inviting environment, ready for a modern makeover.

About the
Professional

I’m an Interior Designer passionate about creating stunning and functional spaces that reflect the unique personalities of my clients. My journey has been fueled by creativity and innovation, enabling me to transform ordinary environments into extraordinary experiences.

My approach to interior design is all about maximizing the potential of each home while ensuring that every space reflects the individuality of its occupants. One of my key specialties lies in reimagining existing layouts. By cleverly utilising the available footprint of a home, I create practical storage solutions and enhance smaller areas, ensuring that every corner of your space is functional and beautiful.

My commitment to originality sets me apart. I don't believe in cookie-cutter designs; instead, my quest is to find artisans to custom-build unique pieces that transform your house into a timeless sanctuary. Each element is thoughtfully designed to resonate with your personal style and to stand the test of time, both in aesthetics and quality.

I specialise in providing expertly crafted custom paint finishes, custom building and handmade bespoke tiles to create focal points that make your home truly one-of-a-kind. These textured and layered designs bring a sense of artistry and character that completely elevate your living space to that next level.

A skilled team of craftsmen is essential to the success of any renovation project. These talented individuals bring a wealth of expertise and a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every aspect meets the highest standards of quality. Their craftsmanship enhances the overall design and allows me to deliver flawless results that are customized to your vision. Together, we collaborate to transform spaces into stunning environments that reflect your style and meet your needs. With this dedicated team behind me, you can trust that your renovation will be executed with precision and care.

At the heart of my philosophy is the belief in investing wisely. I advocate for purchasing once and choosing quality pieces that you absolutely adore—items that won’t become outdated or worn in just a few years.

You’re not just buying decor; you’re investing in enduring beauty and functionality that will enhance your home and bring you joy for years to come.

Having had the privilege of working on a diverse range of global projects, I've collaborated with talented professionals and high-end brands, earning recognition for my contributions in marketing, events and design. My qualifications include diplomas in Interior Design as well as specialised fields, which empower me with a nuanced understanding of design principles and trends.

I offer a personalised design process with limited availability, ensuring that you primarily work with me throughout this journey. My goal is to create unique spaces that inspire, uplift, and feel like home. Whether you require a complete renovation or need assistance in finding those curated objects of desire, I am here to support you.
