Interior designer Jodie Carter helped her client tie together the old part of her house (Californian bungalow) with a more modern extension. The client wanted an overall look which was elegant, classic, comfortable, homely and simple, with a bit of wow factor!
“I don’t think Freda could have imagined in her wildest dreams how incredible her lounge room could look,” said Jodie, who is based in the NSW Sutherland Shire. “I had a vision for it right from the start in my head.” Like all good decorators, Jodie had to persuade her client to let go of some things she didn’t want to, and be brave enough to try others. “Small things like gently convincing her that the existing side table and lamp she had would not work in the new room, talking her into having a set of real butterflies on the wall and also the placement of the artworks one above the other either side of the lounge. She wasn’t too sure about that either!”
