Making Spaces

I’ve spent my whole Sunday visualising the year ahead and trying to put into words where Making Spaces is headed. We’re excited!! ☺️

If they do, humour me and answer this question for me.

“What’s a hot spot not?” 🔴

Oh hello again 👋

Here I am talking about some of my design process (and saying the word natural and "treat" more times than I would have liked). Thank you Corston Architectural Detail for featuring Making Spaces and the Collingham Project.

Oh hello👋

The Collingham Project takes centre stage in this recent feature by Corston Architectural Detail. More on this to come!

(I can't tell you how uncomfortable I am sharing this. I'd say even more uncomfortable than I was being filmed - just focus on the interiors, guys!)

Designer Karen Knox of Making Spaces believes in creating a sense of space, bringing the outside in, and giving a building an organic feel. Rather than switching out colour schemes or soft furnishes, she suggests simply acknowledging what’s happening outside and bringing some seasonal flowers and plants indoors can create a more natural selection. Indeed, taking a natural approach with more permanent furnishings is also a process Knox advises. ‘With the architectural details here, we chose antique brass because it’s got a very natural feel, and it ages and changes over time just like we do, just like our houses do. For those reasons it felt more organic and more befitting of the space.’

“Taps aff!”
Or doors open is also fine.
Certainly the weather for both ☀️
