There’s something truly special about sharing before and after photos of my interior design projects. It’s not just about showcasing the transformation - it’s about celebrating the journey from potential to possibility. When I look back at the original state of a space, I see more than just empty rooms or outdated décor; I see a canvas waiting to be reimagined. The process of taking a space and infusing it with my signature style is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. Each project tells a story, and the “after” is always a reflection of my passion for creating spaces that are elegant, eclectic, bold, playful, joyful, and timeless.
It’s incredible to see the contrast between the before and after shots. There’s a moment of pure delight when you realise that the vision has come to life and the transformation has captured the essence of what was once just an idea. What started as a collection of concepts and mood boards, colors, textures, patterns and materials has evolved into a space that feels like it was always meant to be. There’s magic in that moment and it's impossible not to smile when I see a space come together so seamlessly.
For me, interior design is all about creating spaces that are alive - spaces that feel both timeless and unique. I want every room to feel like it has a sense of history and character, while also reflecting a playful and eclectic sensibility. It’s about mixing bold colors with sophisticated textures, combining vintage with modern and finding those joyful moments that make a space feel truly special. My approach is always mindful, ensuring that every choice, every piece of furniture, every light fixture, every fabric serves a purpose and contributes to the overall vibe of the room.
There’s an undeniable joy in seeing a room come together with that balance of playfulness and elegance. The juxtaposition of bold elements alongside timeless designs creates a dynamic energy. I love when a space feels both calming and invigorating and when the design invites you to experience it in new ways. Whether it’s a gallery wall of unexpected art, a striking color scheme that adds life and personality or a carefully curated mix of textures, each detail in a room has been chosen to create that perfect harmony.
And then there’s the fun part - seeing my clients’ reactions when they first experience the space. That’s when I know I’ve succeeded in creating something truly meaningful. It’s one thing to see a space transformed through my eyes but to witness the joy and excitement in the faces of those who will live and work in the space is the true reward. It’s a reminder that design is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating environments that inspire, comfort and enhance the lives of the people who inhabit them.
I’m always thrilled to share the before and after photos of each project, because they speak volumes. They’re a visual record of the hard work, creativity, and vision that goes into every design. More than that, they represent the heart of my design philosophy: spaces that are beautiful, eclectic and full of personality, while also remaining timeless and enduring.
The transformation isn’t just about what’s visually different, it’s about what’s now possible in the space. Each transformation is an invitation to experience the space anew, to feel something deeper than just the look of the room. It’s a reflection of who the space belongs to, and how it can evolve to support the people within it.
As I look through my portfolio of before and after photos, I’m reminded of the power of design - not just as a career but as a way of making the world around us more joyful, beautiful and meaningful. It’s a reminder that with a thoughtful, creative approach, any space - no matter how challenging or ordinary it may seem at first—can be transformed into something extraordinary.
