INDULGE IN LUST HAVES

Creativity, flexibility and practicality are the driving principles that guide every CSY interior styling venture. I bring the passion and skills of my cross-disciplinary career in fashion and personal styling to my practice, enabling me to intuitively design spaces that reflect the lifestyles and aspirations of their owners. 

I am inspired by a philosophy of ‘emotional design’ that supports an honest and open connection with clients. This enables me to capture their personality and create both spirited and comfortable homes that are sanctuaries, where cherished pieces and fresh design amalgamate to craft uniquely personal residences, plus striking work places that enrich productivity and express the elemental principles of a company. 

Each of my interior projects are diversely unique, yet all are achieved by applying the CSY credo: Slashing, Shopping and Styling. In three easy steps I can refresh a room, household or workplace, in turn enhancing its functionality whilst updating its look without the headache or time delays of an invasive renovation or custom-built fit-out. Rethinking room utilisation and spatial flow are my particular areas of expertise. I determine which key pieces should stay, purchase new furniture and decorative items and merge the new with existing favourites. 

All CSY interior projects are deeply grounded in an understanding of the user’s experience so my newly styled environments continue to be relevant over time. See some of my work featured below.

#Slash - Channel the blitz spirit

Kicking off the project with a consultation at your home or workplace. We’ll work together to identify how the space is being utilised, what is working and what is not. Then we can look at what items you’d like to keep, repurpose, or let go of. Then, we'll discuss your vision for the space, I'll take measurements, and offer my expert solutions. We'll finalise the project timeline and budget.

Within a week, you will receive an Interior Style File. It includes a moodboard reflecting my vision for the space, furniture ideas and colour palette for soft furnishings. Naturally, they will express a residential client’s personality or commercial client’s business ethos, complimenting existing pieces and suiting the scale and function of their future setting.

You will also receive an estimate quote for how many hours I will need to execute the project from furniture sourcing and buying to installation and styling of the space once all the pieces arrives.

#Shop - Snap to it

Snap to it Once a client approves of final changes to the moodboard, determining the style of furniture (and quantity of pieces), plus lighting and decorative objects desired, I scout interior furnishing stores (both online and physically) to source those that suit the desired aesthetic and fit within the allocated budget. This initial scouting takes approximately two hours. The complete shopping list and supplier details are submitted to client’s for editing and approval.

When we are happy and the list is finalised, it’s then time to shop together, where client’s can make the final decisions regarding f inishes on furniture and tonal and textural tweaks on fabrics cushions, rugs etc. All decorative objects (and artworks if desired) are also purchased during this stage. This process usually takes approximately three to four hours.

#Style - Invest in practical magic

Once all the ordered pieces are ready and delivered to the space. I will meet with the client in their space to install and arrange the new items sympathetically with existing pieces. This on-site service usually takes approximately two to three hours.
