PROJECT: Portarlington

Not your average home away from home.

A little unexpected, plenty of personality and a whole lot of thought behind the scenes.

Another full furnishing project for a returning client (the ultimate compliment!), with a shared love of creating holiday stays that stand out from the crowd.

Each property gets its own identity, and Portarlington was no exception. A mix of contemporary furnishings, interesting textures and playful details came together to create a space that's cool, comfortable and anything but cookie-cutter.

From the initial concept through to sourcing, procurement and delivery coordination, I managed the process, making clever decisions on where to invest and where to save without compromising on the overall look and feel.

On this project, my client decided to tackle the flat-pack assembly himself. Let's just say, after one too many Allen keys and a mountain of cardboard, I think he'll be very happily handing that part over to me next time! Sometimes the real luxury is having someone else take care of the lot.

Made to catch your eye, designed to be enjoyed and filled with the kind of thoughtful details that make a stay worth remembering, returning to and recommending.
