So the decorations are down and the house, decoratively speaking, is looking as bleak as the weather. What better time to start a blog dedicated to haute couture for the home?
As a writer I like words more than most people, but at this time of year what we really need is some food for creative thought. That’s where my friend, Susanne Barnes, comes in. Named as one of 2012’s design names to know in my article in The Scotsman Magazine today, Susanne – who lives and works in Edinburgh - has a knack of combining the classic and cool to create interiors of note.
An interior architect by trade who cut her teeth working for renowned London-based interior design firm, Helen Green, Susanne specialises in the nuts and bolts of a project –that’s everything from installing a kitchen to masterminding the hard surfaces of a room. It doesn’t sound the sexiest of topics but when you see how she can transform a space with these materials you’ll soon change your mind…think luxuriously long plains of dark wood, high shine marble and cleverly positioned mirrors all finished with a seamlessness that gives the room an air of slick modernity.
