Working with Minnie
If you’re wondering what it would be like to work with me, you’ve landed on the right page (if you want to know about the practicalities of my services, you need to head here). Below, I’ve summarised my approach to design which underlies all the work I do, and how I work with you during your project. Interior design is about more than aesthetics, it’s about crafting a home that has meaning to you and that supports the way you want to live.
The 4 cornerstones of my approach to Interior design
Storytelling
Every room tells a story. A home should be a reflection of the people who live there and the ideas that inspire them. My approach is to curate surroundings that are deeply personal, uplifting and comforting, fostering a sense of belonging and allowing you to feel truly at home.
Balance
Balancing harmony and contrast is a hallmark of my work and key to crafting a beautiful interior. A well crafted room feels both grounded and dynamic. Like a twist of lime in your whisky, I love to use colour to create that touch of tension which stops an otherwise beautiful interior feeling flat.
Genius Loci
Crafting spaces which respond to the locality is at the heart of my design process. Respecting the essence of the building and its environment is at the core of every project, weaving together the narrative of the building and the people who occupy it.
Practicality
Every design starts with a practical layout that facilitates the activities carried out in the home and supports the way the occupant lives. The practical elements of a home should feel intuitive and effortless, creating an authentic and life-enhancing environment.
How I Work
I work exclusively on residential interiors from my design studio on the Welsh border of Herefordshire. I don’t outsource any design work so every project gets my personal attention.
Typically, my projects involve working on multiple rooms within the home.
Throughout each project I collaborate with my clients via video call, allowing me to take on work throughout the UK and Europe.
The initial consultation is a core element of the design process; this is how I establish a deep understanding of your personal narrative - your wants, needs, tastes, how you dream of living and what really makes you tick.
