Napoleon House: Site Considerations and the Impact of Intentional Design Choices

In this episode, we chat with Kelly Thompson - a multi-disciplinary artist, designer and stylist about her approach to interior styling and curating spaces. She covers her niche of mixing old and new, and handcrafted pieces to create a unique and personalised aesthetic.

Kelly shares her process of working with clients, starting with understanding their vision and then curating a collection of furniture and decor items that reflect their personality, as well as gradually adding layers over time as people grow and evolve.

She also highlights the value of storytelling and connecting clients with the artists and makers behind the products. Kelly believes that a well-designed space should be a reflection of the individual's personality and should evoke emotion and joy.
