I hope everyone's having a lovely weekend, it's been a busy week balancing work and the boys - I'm very much enjoying some weekend down time. I wanted to share with you one of the projects I've been busy working on for our York project. This is our client's son's ensuite bathroom and bedroom, we wanted to connect the two spaces in a subtle but considered way. We've used elements of muted navy, grey and warming woods and oranges in the bedroom - then transferred this in to a more playful bold design in the bathroom. I just love this flooring and mix of pattern in the space. This is going to be an exciting one to see to come to life xx

Creating a vignette! …. Not sure what this means

Creating a vignette! …. Not sure what this means? Well I didn’t know the true meaning either, so I thought I would share ♥️. A vignette is a French loanword meaning a unique form for a frame to an image... in the world of interiors, this is exactly that... it's a curated collection of personal items, accessories and/or furniture all linked together through clever styling to create a design 'moment'. Almost as if you could frame and take a snapshot of just that area, and it would look complete. I love to mix personal items, play with heights and reflections to create areas unique to the client. The wonderful thing about a vignette, is you can change and be playful with these as often as you like. Enjoy! Xx #interiordesign #vignette #interiors #interiorstyling #design #interiorinspiration

In case you didn't know this already.... I absolutely love a cushion! The design possibilities are endless.... from fabric, to shape & size, to trims and boarders - they are such a fun way to add considered design details to a space. The beautiful thing about a bespoke cushion scheme, is we can build patterns and colours to tie everything together in the space - it's a sure-fired way to add that personal and professional finish. #interiordesign #designer #cushions #softfurnishings #bespokedesign #interiors #homefurnishings

This master bedroom catches the most beautiful evening light… which inspired me to create a design scheme layering tonal washed mauves and naturals. I’ve also used complimentary patterns… these will be layered through curtains, cushions, bench and a headboard. 💜 xx #interiordesign #interiors #moodboard #interiormoodboard #masterbedroom #interiorinspiration

I'm back in the studio today and ready to enjoy a full day of designing! I've been absolutely loving working on this full house design project based in York..... here's a sneak peak at the living room. As this project is based in York... we've created a hybrid design package. This means all of our design meetings and reviews so far have been virtual, and even though we haven't yet met.... I feel I really know the clients and absolutely love our design meetings and creating personal schemes inspired by them xxxx #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #homeinspiration #clairegarnerinteriors #interiors #homecounties #designtips #interiordesigntips

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter weekend, I wil

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter weekend, I will be spending a few days switching off and enjoying some time with my family, and most likely having some chocolate for breakfast 😋😳. I hope you have a wonderful time whatever you're up to. This would be a dreamy spot to be spending the weekend... a custom games room! Previously a living room.... which we transformed in to a games room for our client’s family to enjoy. This is the perfect example of designing spaces right for you ♥️.

Adding a personal touch.... in April's newsletter

Adding a personal touch.... in April's newsletter out next week I'll be sharing my top tips for adding those touches to make your design personal to you. One of my favourite ways to do this is through artwork - and we're lucky to work with some incredible local artists. @dianaforbes.art has created some truly special commissions for our clients. She's an expert at capturing the detail of the design by working closely with our designers - and taking inspiration from our colour palette, finishes and fabric textures. We just love this trio of flowers @dianaforbes.art created for our client's garden room. For this space Victoria wanted to create a calming and cosy space set amongst it's surrounding garden, she used soft pinks & greens paired with natural materials and bespoke artwork to achieve just that. xx #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #homeinspiration #clairegarnerinteriors #interiors #homecounties #designtips #interiordesigntips #artwork

I've had a few consultancy projects recently which I've been really enjoying, however, I've noticed that often when we're approached for this service many of our clients are unsure if it would be possible to have an interior designer on board.... but the wonderful thing about our consultancy and virtual services, is it allows us tailor an hourly package just for you and your design requirements. I thought I would share the range of the sort of projects I've been working on - these were all with people who hadn't worked with designers before: - 1 hr call reviewing a clients own mood boards and sharing potential ideas and supplier details. I've met so many creative people during these calls and often it's just elevating these designs and sharing resources.
- creating spatial room layout options
- creating mood boards and supplying a full 'shopping list' for the client to order and project manager themselves. This included paint options and joinery designs. All of these above were either working with myself or one of our designers. If you have any questions for your consultancy and virtual services, please don't hesitate to get in touch - studio@clairegarnerineriors.com xx #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #homeinspiration #clairegarnerinteriors #interiors #homecounties #designtips #interiordesigntips

Vaulted ceilings and rolling countryside views! I'm so excited to share with you this Master bedroom design I've been working on..... this gorgeous room has the most incredible vaulted ceiling and a picturesque view of the countryside - both of which our client would like to maximise these incredible features as much as possible. With this in mind… I’m positioning the bed in the centre of the room, i’m also adding a low level stud wall for the bed to sit against. Behind this there will be a low chest of drawers and wardrobes opposite, so our client will enter into the dressing area but keep the beautiful view. By zoning the two separate spaces this allows us to keep the sleeping area as an undisturbed serene and peaceful space. I've selected a colour palette including muted tones of indigo and faded terracottas, paired with warming woods and this incredible natural inspired chandelier - I adore this piece and it's perfect to enhance, but not overwhelm the height of the room. I can't wait to see this one come together xxxx #interiordesign #interiors #moodboard #interiormoodboard #designinspiration #design #designinspo

I love adding custom design details…. it’s the attention to detail which will instantly elevate a design. I wanted to share with you some of my top tips for creating those considered finishes.... 1. custom upholstery not only allows you play with fabrics.... sometimes a simple nailhead can be the perfect detail to create a unique piece. I love adding a studded trim to a headboard and/or ottoman. 2. for cushions I love to play with texture and tone.... so don't be afraid to stick to one colour but layer in the shades! 3. when styling a tray I tend to go for simplicity but with variety... a candle, a touch of green and a play with shapes, such as a vase or an interesting object... this creates interest without being too busy for the eyes. xx #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #homeinspiration #clairegarnerinteriors #interiors #homecounties #designtips #interiordesigntips

This design has been put together by Charlie for a 10 year old girl, for the brief..... our client's daughter wanted the room to have a girlie theme but to be designed to carry her through her teens. Charlie has changed the layout of the room to achieve just that, adding a fun Hollywood inspired dressing table and light up mirror. Along with lots of playful textures and pom-poms, inspired by the girl's love for horses and her favourite painting in the room. xx #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #homeinspiration #clairegarnerinteriors #interiors #homecounties #designtips #interiordesigntips

I had the best time at London Design Week yesterday! @designcentrech. I’m feeling so inspired and just loved seeing all of the new collections. This is a concept design I’ve created for a study, I want this room to feel soft and relaxed but still keep a professional atmosphere for client meetings. I’ve gone for layered texture - mixing heavy linens, beautiful light sheers, mohair and wool. For warmth we’re using a natural oak floor and wicker detailing, and this stunning antiqued glass will tile the wall opposite the desk to maximize the light. Velvet and Sheer @delecuona

Morning! I hope you had a lovely weekend ♥️. The rain might be back…. But it definitely felt like spring had sprung this weekend! Makes me start to think about freshening up the house and cushions are the perfect way to update your space quick and in a more cost effective way.... I love to switch these over to change my scheme for Spring/Summer, it's amazing how a new cushion scheme can completely change how the room feels. xx
