- Colour and pattern –
Many of our clients come to us because they’re not sure how to incorporate colour or pattern into their home and want somebody to help them to have the
confidence to be bolder.
This principal bedroom embraces both colour and pattern with this bold modern botanical wallpaper from . The yellow from the wallpaper is
pulled out into the reupholstered vintage chair, and the mid-century style chest of drawers sits beautifully with the original floorboards and exposed purlin in this loft space. The same Calming Neutral paint colour from that was in the en-suite bathroom runs on the walls and ceilings in the bedroom space as well.
If you need to help injecting colour and pattern into your home, then do get in touch.

This bathroom is tucked into the corner of the loft space in this Victorian house in Roundhay. But even with the awkward sloping ceiling we’ve created a space that feels spacious, plush with a boutique hotel feel. We’ve added a bit of fun with the quirky terrazzo tile and given the whole space a hug with .colours Calming Neutral as the paint on the walls, ceiling and woodwork.
Just the place we’d like to retreat to every evening, especially as they get lighter and the evening light floods into this space.

- Layout planning –
If, like many of our clients, you have architectural plans and planning approval for a project that you want to complete in 2026 then you need to be thinking
about your final internal layout and interiors sooner than you think.
We met this client exactly a year ago and we’ve just visited her home to see the progress on the project. The ground floor reconfiguration is nearly there, with
the kitchen and flooring installed and the downstairs cloakroom is being decorated this week.
If you are looking to make changes to your home this year and would like to get some expert help and guidance then do get in touch.

- Fresh Start for Fresh Start –
We are starting 2026 with a fresh new look for Fresh Start Living. It has been on our minds for a while that we needed a logo and branding that better reflects who we are now and what we stand for as designers and we finally found some time at the end of 2025 to get that implemented and turned into something that looks and feels more like us.
Everything about what we do and the services we offer stay the same, it is just the look and feel of our brand that will look more colourful and fresh moving forward.

- Open Plan Space –
It’s that time of year when we start thinking about hosting family and friends for Christmas. We worked with this couple to help create an open plan space
family space that feels sociable and invites you to spend time with the hosts while they potter in the kitchen. The large steel glazed doors and roof windows at
the back let all the light in, allowing this place to feel light and inviting all year round.
Swipe to see how it looked as a traditional living room when we first met them, what a transformation!

- Bathroom storage –
The family bathroom in the same home was also in need of a revamp at the same time as the en-suite. Although this room is more generously sized, the same issues arose with clutter on surfaces and the floor to the lack of storage. And the travertine tiles and stained shelf felt old-fashioned and fussy compared with this family’s more contemporary and clean style.
So, we replaced the single wall hung sink with this teak unit with countertop terrazzo basins from and tall white taps from providing plenty of storage and keeping the clutter at bay. And the large format textured tiles from finishes the space off with a clean but cosy feeling.

- Small bathroom –
When we met this family, it was clear that their compact en-suite bathroom wasn’t working for them. The hinged glass door opening into the space just got in the way, there was no storage and the wet-room floor with waste centred to the room was just pooling water all the time.
The fundamental layout of the space worked just fine, but by tweaking a few key elements we have now created a space that works so much better for this family:
1. The door has been replaced with a sliding door that slides to the side of the built-in wardrobes, giving a sense of space as you walk into the room now
2. The sink has been replaced with this vanity unit from with built-in storage to hide the clutter
3. The old leaking floor was ripped out, repaired and replaced by with a slimline linear waste positioned away from the
doorway.
If you’ve got a bathroom space that just isn’t working for you then do get in touch with us and we can help you create spaces that work for you and the way
you live.

- En-suite –
This en-suite bathroom has been designed to flow through from the bedroom and other parts of the house. We pulled out the green from the wallpaper with this freestanding bath and side table. The same herringbone floor that runs throughout the ground floor is used here as well to give it a sense of grounding with the wood finish. And the double vanity from with fluted detail, brass handles and taps just finishes everything off.

- Walk-in wardrobe –
This space was designed to be a calming space as you walk into the principal bedroom suite. The shaker style doors with chunky brass handles give it a classic timeless feel and we then pulled out a calming green onto the walls to link it to the greens in the bedroom and en-suite bathroom zones.
The amount of storage behind the doors means that this area is free of clutter and is the perfect place to get ready.

- Bedroom Suite –
Once the ground floor was completed in the Alwoodley family home, we were then tasked with designing a principal bedroom suite. We needed to think
about how the bedroom, en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe could all work as one space and this wallpaper was the inspiration for the
pink and green colour scheme that flows through the space. The wallpaper was installed behind the bed and above the bath to provide cohesion and a sense
that you get a glimpse of the pattern from different angles within the room.
