Soulful styling & simple living: introduction to interior design
Saturday 3rd November 2018, 10am-1pm, Skandium Townhouse, London
Have you ever wanted to style your own home but don’t know where to start? Are you struggling to get an interior project off the ground and need some help defining your own style? Perhaps you’re overwhelmed with inspiration and are looking for a sense of clarity to move forward and practice your skills as a stylist. If you have an interest in styling for interiors this workshop will help guide you through all the basics so you leave feeling confident and inspired.
We all want to have a beautiful home that reflects our personal style. But, sometimes knowing what colours, furniture, fabrics and accessories go together can be a real challenge. This class takes all the guesswork out of design to bring you the home you’ve always wanted.
From concept to creation, Cate St Hill and Nancy Straughan will cover all the key interior styling principles, translating them into practical tips you can apply at home. Both Cate and Nancy are interior designers and stylists, with two successful blogs between them.
