Interiors & Commissions

Completed professional work: residential properties, interior decoration, art placement and paintings commissioned for particular rooms and clients.

My relationship with interior space has always been closely connected to my work as a painter. With a background in both Fine Art and Interior Decoration, I am drawn to the way architecture, perspective, light and atmosphere shape how we experience a place.

Perspective is central to my paintings. Doorways, corridors, windows and architectural lines create spaces that appear to extend beyond the surface of the canvas, moving between interior and exterior, the real and the imagined. This naturally lends the work to interiors, where the painting becomes part of the architecture around it.

Residential

Residential Interiors

Kensington & Chelsea, London

A selection of private residences in Kensington and Chelsea for which I have undertaken interior decoration and the placement of my own artwork. My approach brings art and interiors together, considering colour, proportion, texture and atmosphere so that each painting becomes part of the architecture and character of the home.

These projects reflect my belief that art should not simply be added to an interior, but should live within it, creating a dialogue between the artwork, the space and the people who inhabit it.

Private Residential

Alongside my studio practice, I work directly with private clients on residential properties, particularly within Kensington & Chelsea. Drawing on my background in fine art and interior decoration, I consult on the placement, scale, colour and atmosphere of artworks within a space, considering how art interacts with architecture, light, furniture and the character of the home.

I also create bespoke original works for individual interiors, responding to the proportions, palette and atmosphere of a particular room while retaining the integrity of my artistic practice. This allows the artwork and interior to develop in dialogue with one another, creating pieces that feel intrinsically connected to the spaces in which they live.

Ormonde Gate

Private Residential Commission, Chelsea

Commissioned by a property development company for a private client, this Ormonde Gate residence brought together my background in fine art and interior decoration. I worked on the interior decoration and art curation throughout the property, considering how colour, proportion, architecture and artwork could work together to give each space its own identity.

Alongside sourcing and curating works, I created bespoke paintings specifically for the interiors, responding to the palette, scale and atmosphere of individual rooms. The project reflects an approach in which art is not treated simply as a final decorative addition, but as an integral part of the interior, creating a dialogue between artwork, architecture and the experience of living within a space.

Elm Park Gardens, Chelsea

Residential Interior Decoration & Art Curation

For this basement apartment in Elm Park Gardens, the challenge was to create a greater sense of space, light and depth within a naturally enclosed setting. Rather than treating the artwork as a final decorative layer, I used my paintings as an integral part of the interior scheme. Their strong lines of perspective extend the eye beyond the physical boundaries of the rooms, while colour, texture and metallic elements introduce light and movement into the space.

The long, narrow bathroom was approached with the same philosophy. Instead of fighting its proportions, I chose to emphasise them, using elongated tiles that reproduce the appearance of wooden planks. Their continuous linear rhythm draws the eye through the room, turning its narrowness into a deliberate architectural feature.

The project reflects my wider approach to interiors: working with the existing architecture and using perspective, colour, material and art to alter how a space is perceived and experienced.

Edgerton Gardens, Chelsea

Residential Development & Art Staging

For this residential redevelopment in Edgerton Gardens, Chelsea, I was commissioned by a property development company to contribute to the interior direction and final staging of the apartment for sale. My role was to help transform the newly developed space from a neutral property into a considered, characterful home, using furnishings, colour, texture and my original artwork.

The paintings became central to the staging, bringing scale, depth and individuality to the rooms while informing the surrounding palette and atmosphere. The project reflects my approach to interiors: art is not simply added to a finished room as decoration; it can become the starting point from which the character of a space develops.
