What a great way to start the weekend šŸŽ‰

Iā€™m honestly blown away.

The Studio at Four-Ninety, formally known as ā€˜The Secret Projectā€™ is up for an award.

A boutique creative studio and event space, but with a design difference. Itā€™s no ordinary studio.

I absolutely loved designing for this project, and Iā€™m so happy it has been chosen as a finalist project in the commercial category at The Northern Design Awards.

Special shout out to the trades who took my vision and made it a reality, thank you.

Iā€™ll let you know what happens on the night.

What a project!

This was a full property renovation, and boy did it not disappoint.

Back to brick, revealing problems, dealing with said problems, changing layouts, full electric re-wire, full lighting design, new windows, roofing issues, you name it, this project had it.

Iā€™ll be sharing more on this over the next few weeks, and going into all the building work, design decisions and details bit by bit, room by room.

But for now, sharing a snippet of the before and after.

What do you think?

Follow along for more on this renovation, it might just help you with yours.

I didnā€™t see this comingā€¦

I saw the ā€˜for sale signā€™ and I bought a beautiful wedding dress shop, with the plan to turn it into my design studio.

A dream of owning a studio space, I had wanted to achieve since setting up this business 3 years ago.

However, I realised the space was just too big for me (I work by myself!).

I needed to do something with it, something that others could use, because it lent itself so well to that.

So The Studio at 490 was born, out of a love of creativity, helping others and excitement about seeing the possibilities the space could bring.

I have loved designing this creative space, thinking about all of its different uses and which creatives and brands could benefit from being there.

From lighting, colour scheme, material finishes, furniture, accessories - itā€™s been a labour of love. But Iā€™m ready to share it now.

This doesnā€™t mean that Iā€™m done with designing, Iā€™ll forever be doing that.

I need a lie down šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

The summer holiday juggle is real isnā€™t it?!

And in design world, lots of the European factories have an extended summer break. Not sure where mine went!
But we keep moving!

Two full design projects, one complete, one nearing completion.

And I decided to launch a new business in the middle of it all (what was I thinking?!) Creative Studio and Event Space | Leeds

September, Iā€™m hoping you are a little more chilled outā€¦

iPhone snaps - The Studio project

I canā€™t wait for the professional shots to share this project.

An old commercial space transformed into a brand new boutique creative studio and event space.

Design brief//
Neutral, with texture.
Pops of colour, but not too much.
A space with recognisable personality.
A calm and productive environment.

What do you think?
Iā€™ll share a post with the before shots, because you wonā€™t believe the transformation.

New Project

This family living room was underused and not liked for its dark colour and cold feel. It felt cut-off from the rest of the home and the family didnā€™t enjoy being in there.

The brief//
Make this room into a warm, inviting, cosy and family-orientated living room, for all to use and enjoy.

Using a colour scheme of plaster pink & green, with blue and neutral accents with layered soft furnishings and natural material furniture to tie it all together, has really hit the brief for my client.
