Creating a family home from a new blank canvas
The Chocolate Factory site in Greenbank, Bristol known for ‘Elizabeth Shaw’ chocolates dates back to Victorian times. Simon and Caroline recently bought a house in this newly transformed development which includes workspace, retail and community hub. My brief was to transform a plain white space into a warm family home for Simon and Caroline and their two girls. Moving in with a small amount of furniture. one of their first purchases were two vibrant teal velvet sofas, which fitted into the living room perfectly. The couple have a love of bold colours, but were at a loss as to how to progress with living room decor, so starting with the teal sofas, we built a soft terracotta scheme that complemented teal. My briefing session also revealed Simon and Caroline liked contemporary but also loved boho chic elements, which we added in the soft furnishings, rustic wood console table and shelving, lighting and accessories..
