Private Client, Gwithian, Cornwall
“Building a beach-house had been a dream for us, but when it came to decorating and
furnishing the interior, we realised we needed help. Thank goodness we found Elaine.
Elaine understood immediately the style of the relaxed beach-house that we wanted
to achieve, and her advice and guidance proved invaluable. Elaine has an encyclopedic
knowledge of suppliers who we would never have found ourselves, and subtle ideas
that we would never have thought ourselves. Importantly, she never lost sight of
the look and feel that we wanted - she is the antidote of the pushy interior designer.
Stylish and relaxed herself, this we felt was always reflected in her suggestions.
Discussions between ourselves about colours, fabrics, furniture and accessories these
days incorporate the question 'what would Elaine think?'. She has a keen aesthetic
sense that respects yet enhances her clients’ preferences. Years of experience are
evident in every suggestion and every detail—she knows what will work best and how
to get it done and goes the extra mile to make sure all the details are thought through
and superbly executed. Working with Camellia and her team is a delight, you can be
sure that your project will be on time, on budget and with an incredible finish you
will be proud of.”
We were invited to join this inspiring beach house build at the later stages of the
development. Our brief was essentially; soft furnishings and furniture. This very
quickly developed into design advice throughout, the clients had had a tough experience
of the build managing it themselves with numerous problems, we helped the client
work through the issues they had met with from project managing it alone and tried
to relieve the pressure.
We then interpreted our clients design ideas and created bespoke furniture for the
main living room. The result is contemporary but livable and very true to its surroundings
and the stunning views.
