Designers from the past

Posted by on Thursday, November 19, 2009,
Billy Baldwin (1903 – 1984) defined Interior Design as
"making people feel wonderful in their homes"


.
His pet aversions were jumble and clutter, satin and dam-ask,
fake fireplaces, false books and ostentation of any kind.
.


He also went on to say:

"I've always believed that architecture is more important than decoration.
Scale and proportion give everlasting satisfaction that cannot be achieved

About Me


Although my business as an Interior Designer- Architect is based in Norwich, I also have experience of presenting Interior Design proposals for residential and commercial projects throughout the UK and recently in Europe.
On these pages I hope to be able to convey the influences which help to shape and form my style and approach to mywork in Interior Architecture as well as Interior Design. This is an especially exciting time for me as I
step into the world of running my own business for the first time. There is a crisis on and its in the lap of the gods as to whether I succeed or fail, but........"It is far better to have tried................."

My Approach

Money spent on expensive wallpaper, Farrow and Ball paints etc will never replace the proper utilisation of space archived by paying attention to Interior Architecture, and Interior Design. Quality of light, functionality, architectural details, all are more important in contributing to the  character, ambiance and sense of well being in that space.  Homes and other spaces that were simply decorated and not designed  eventually become dated and often the lack of design contributes to a sense of unease about the space.  Good Interior Design which functions on the comfort of the occupant in every sense can be simply redecorated when necessary and always feel right.
