Some cool info you should know

What is the cost to make a turnkey interior design job?

I don’t charge by the square metre because any project is different from the next. I listen to my clients and I try to keep within the budget that they set for me because I believe that quality design doesn’t always need to cost the earth.

What is the most important thing when designing a new kitchen?

My earliest memories of watching my mother prepare beautiful meals in her kitchen continue to influence how I envision and design kitchens today. I see the kitchen as the true heart of the home, a serene yet dynamic space that balances elegance with everyday function. Guided by the principles of minimalist luxury and contemporary harmony, I craft kitchens that encourage creativity and connection, where every element, from the layout and accessibility to the choice of materials and palette, is thoughtfully composed. The refined interplay of texture, tone, and proportion transforms the kitchen into a timeless gathering space, where family and friends come together to share moments of warmth, beauty, and effortless living

How long does it take to deliver a project for a condominium apartment?

No more than two months.

What gives you the most satisfaction when redesigning an apartment or a house?

I usually love designing kitchens and living rooms.

Where do you get your furniture?

I source furniture from several showrooms here in Bangkok, and my choices are driven by the budget that I have. I also design bespoke pieces that local furniture makers can create for me meaning that we use local resources and if necessary we can save a lot of money, because unfortunately it is not always possible to buy Italian furniture. I believe in local suppliers and they love working with me.

Who are your clients?

My clients are both local Thai residents and foreign property market investors.

How important is lighting in a project?

Lighting has always been my passion and I might use lights to make a wall more interesting or a cabinet more attractive or I might use hidden LED Lights to make areas warmer and more comfortable.

Walls and high ceilings. What is your opinion?

I like using concrete walls if I am designing something in a very modern environment, or I might use brick walls or wallpaper if I am designing a comfortable home environment. A bespoke bookcase or sideboard can also help with an awkward wall or a difficult high ceiling.

Can you integrate my favourite pieces of furniture and accessories in your design?

Absolutely. Is what I love the most. Will be exquisite to integrate modern styling with your beloved piece of furniture.

In Thailand it is difficult to find a good quality furniture installation service. How do you deal with this issue?

With years of experience in both design and installation, I have come to understand that excellence is not achieved overnight, it requires patience, precision, and a genuine love for the craft. While finding the right people in the market can be challenging, my background has given me the insight and professionalism needed to identify and nurture true talent. I take great pride in training my team in the art of installation, just as I was trained, with love, care, and a spirit of positive enthusiasm that ensures every detail is executed to perfection.
