Lloyd . O. M . Hodgkinson – Principal
I have always enjoyed being surrounded by collections, things that jog my memory and colours that make me feel comfortable. I think my appreciation for these immensely personal emotions give me a real understanding of their importance in a home. For the past 11 years I was fortunate enough to work with renowned Brisbane based interior design firm John Croft Design, who’s rich 37-year heritage in the Australian design industry deservedly earned them the reputation as one of the best. It was under the guidance of John Croft that I learned the importance of colour and pattern in interior decorating and developed a deep respect for the grand practitioners of design.
“Of course we live in a world saturated by images; there are so many choices, and it’s the abundance of choices that makes confidently building a room’s personality challenging for people, this is where I come into the picture.”
There is nothing I love more than being captured by a room that has its own presence. It is my goal to create homes that respect traditional design concepts yet reflect individualism. I truly believe the selection of quality fabrics and furniture will stand the test of time. A home should have you lingering amongst a mix of existing pieces and specifically selected pieces, it should have colour and pattern but most importantly have warmth by layering dissimilar objects amongst family photographs and art.
