How would you describe your style?
"The Design Archives is all about pattern, colour and texture. Working from the archive we are creating designs that have a classic heritage but giving them a contemporary twist with bold colouring and scale. This autumn we are delighted to introduce the new Shala Collection, three interesting and vibrant new fabric choices for our customers."
Please describe a recently completed project or tell us about the bespoke service that you offer
Seeing fabric on walls is something that Sharon originally encountered as a child visiting a house in France, where she was entranced with the idea and the memory stayed on - the result being her bespoke paper-backed fabric wallcovering service. Re-energising this product with traditional battening, it offers very effective and decorative noise insulation for commercial and residential space. The company is also launching its own wide width wallpaper collection based on the fabric collections in early 2021.
The List features design professionals, searchable by area, name and specialism. Membership starts at £250 per year, including a subscription to House & Garden (UK only)
