Helene's role in a project is to develop interiors in a highly collaborative way with her clients, guiding them through the process from start to finish. Helene works with trusted teams of trade professionals to ensure the best levels of workmanship and successful project delivery.

Helene's style is highly influenced by her childhood: growing up in a Norwegian/Irish family with eclectic tastes, an immersion in art, and a willingness to mix the old with the new. She encourages bravery with colour and pattern and values the emotive force that this brings to any interior space.
As a great art lover, I have an appreciation for the way that works can bring to any interior to life. I have developed whole interiors around clients' existing artworks, being inspired by the character and feeling that a particular piece may generate, or conversely I have helped clients select pieces for their home at the end of a project. I always want to make interiors work hard for my clients, and give a lot of thought and consideration to spatial layouts, storage and functionality in the planning phase of any project. I see this as the most fundamental part of an interior designer's value. Bespoke joinery and free standing furniture commissions are also frequently undertaken to answer the specific needs of a client's brief.
