"Creating your dream home shouldn't be a painful process"
Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm Audrey.
Who am I? I describe myself as a personable, hands-on, practical, determined and straight forward person (might be my French heritage?), wife, mum-of-two and passionate interior designer.
I really believe that everyone deserve to live in a house they can be proud of and enjoy living in. That's why every project I take on is embraced wholeheartedly, and with total dedication. Whatever the size of the work involved, I invest my heart and soul in ensuring that everything is delivered on time, and to my clients' complete satisfaction.
What got me into Interior Design? My passion for interior design really came to life from undertaking 2 extensions on our home (and a few more since...). I was able to use my love for design and sketching, and 20 years of experience in project management (delivering global projects for large companies) to overcome the challenges that come with extending and renovating a house, whilst being a mum and having a very demanding full time corporate job in London.
Being a mum also got me into understanding how a home needs to "work" for my family, from optimal space planning, zoning and creation of multi-generation and functional spaces, through to the design and implementation of highly efficient storage solutions.
Why Elisa Design? My interior design studio actually takes its name from the combination of my 2 children's names: EL(oise) ISA(ac) Design Ltd.
This is to remind me what got me into pursuing my passion. My backstory? Well, a few months before COVID, my children asked me whether I would like to come to their school to speak about my corporate job and how I contributed to society. I had to decline at the time as there was nothing I could proudly discuss about in front of hundreds of children to demonstrate my positive impact onto the wider society :-(
So, I decided to make a change so that my children could proudly discuss their mom's job with their friends going forward and be inspired by it!... And I don't regret it a second...
My goal? Putting my heart and soul into helping you achieve the home of your dream whilst making it a seamless, stress-free and enjoyable process.
Elisa Design style is modern, timeless, luxurious and sleek.
The team like to contrast materials such as wood, metals and stone resulting in a sleek, functional and elegant finish. We usually use furniture with clean and crisp lines, but also like to add some curves (through bespoke joinery, curved lighting or decorative items) to soften the look and complete the calm and luxurious aesthetic.
Our colour preferences are deep, harmonious and calming but we also like to add a pop of bright colour to add interest and create a focal point. We like patterns that we use to complement a room and the overall colour scheme, and tend to stay away from bold or really busy patterns.
We love relaxed, bright and open spaces, which we usually style with large pieces of artwork, mirrors, chandelier, or bespoke pieces.
