Bespoke Interior Design with Abi…

Whether you're planning a complete renovation or a few thoughtful updates, our expertise is here to guide you through every step, ensuring your space reflects the vibrant energy of summer.
Understanding the Summer Aesthetic
Summer interiors are all about light, airiness, and a seamless connection with the outdoors. Think breezy fabrics, natural textures, and a palette inspired by the season's hues. It's a time to let go of heavy furnishings and embrace a more relaxed, open atmosphere.

At IDPS, we believe that every home is unique, and so are its inhabitants. Our approach begins with understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and the specific needs of your space. By collaborating closely with you, we craft bespoke design solutions that not only enhance the beauty of your home but also improve its functionality.
Key Elements to Consider for Your Summer Renovation
Natural Light and Ventilation
Maximising natural light is essential for creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere. Consider installing larger windows, glass doors, or even skylights to flood your interiors with sunlight. Additionally, ensuring good ventilation will keep your home cool and comfortable during warmer months.
Lightweight Fabrics and Upholstery
Swap out heavy drapes and upholstery for lighter materials like linen, cotton, or bamboo. These fabrics not only breathe better but also add a fresh, airy feel to your interiors. Opt for slipcovers or removable cushions that are easy to wash and maintain.
Earthy Colour Palettes
Summer is the season to embrace soft, earthy tones. Shades like sage green, terracotta, and soft blues can create a calming environment. These colours pair beautifully with natural wood finishes and stone accents, bringing the tranquility of nature indoors.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Creating a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces enhances the sense of openness. Consider adding bi-fold doors or large glass panels that open up to patios or gardens. Incorporating outdoor furniture and decor that complements your indoor style can further unify the spaces.
Sustainable Materials
As we move towards more eco-conscious living, incorporating sustainable materials into your renovation is a thoughtful choice. Reclaimed wood, bamboo, and recycled glass not only add character but also reduce environmental impact.
Collaborating with Local Artisans
Devon is home to a wealth of talented artisans who can bring bespoke elements to your summer renovation. From handcrafted furniture to locally made ceramics, incorporating these pieces adds uniqueness and supports the local economy.
Real-Life Inspiration: Devon Homes Transformed
Consider the transformation of a Victorian terrace in Totnes. By opening up the rear of the property with bi-fold doors and using light, natural materials throughout, the homeowners created a bright, airy space that connects seamlessly with their garden. This renovation not only enhanced the home's aesthetic but also improved its energy efficiency.
