Happy client, happy designer! I live for these moments... when my clients love their new spaces.
⁣
Whilst I’m not a brain surgeon, I know that when I transform peoples homes that I’m changing their daily life. How a space makes you feel, has such a huge impact on your mental health. ⁣
⁣
This photo of my gorgeous client @turiapitt really captures the emotion of the client and designer journey. My heart is full 💗⁣

Work in three’s is one of the most common styling rules ... but I’m also one for breaking the rules! When it comes to styling, have some fun & keep it SIMPLE. That’s what I’ve done here in @turiapitt home office.
⁣
And in case you haven’t entered yet, I’m giving away a one on one consult with me! All you need to do is head to the bio in the link and enter. ⬆️⁣
⁣
If you can share with your friends and family who you think could do with one of my styling sessions, they can thank you later 😜. Tag them below in the comments. ⁣

So in ‘Styling Talk’ you’ll hear the term en masse. It simply means to group together.
⁣
You can see here I’ve used @turiapitt book ‘Happy’ to create a feature. I’ve placed them on the bar trolley from @the_upstory ... and now we have a little stylish feature in Turia’s home office. ⁣

This photo is a bit like the @oralb TV commercial from years ago ... ‘We can’t show you her face’. 😝
⁣
But what I’m really sharing here is that when it comes to setting up and styling your office, you need to think about all the angles/walls. Like so many of us working from home, @turiapitt is often on @zoom calls so I needed to make sure that her background was inspiring and it suited her personality. ⁣
⁣
Turia can set her laptop up on the desk and then get comfy on the @loungelovers Bronte sofa for her meetings & interviews. The commissioned artwork piece from @ozlem_savelle_art has created a ⁣statement but it’s also not overpowering. So when it comes to your home office space, have you thought about what your backdrop is? If your wanting some tips & tricks make sure you enter the giveaway to win a one on one consult with me. The link is in the bio to enter ⬆️.
