EASY GOING

A coastal home in Georgia is expected to have a relaxed charm, but Matthew Miller of StudioLAB was confronted with a blank canvas when he first worked his magic on this new build

HOW DID YOU COME TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT?

We had done previous projects with the clients - this was our third project with them.

WHAT WAS THE BRIEF?

This is a summer home for our clients and their teenage children and where they entertain extended family and friends. They wanted the decor and colour scheme to reflect a beach/coastal vibe. We were brought in to help with customising finishes as well as fully furnishing the interiors.

HOW INVOLVED WERE THE HOMEOWNERS?

Since this was our third project working with these clients, we already had a good sense of their likes and dislikes. They are familiar with our work ethic and design process so while we did work semi-closely with them to finalise finishes, fabrics and furniture, they ultimately trusted that they were in good hands.
