Her distinctive style – combining classic influences with a contemporary edge – has secured her position as one of the UK’s leading interior designers, and has won her international recognition. Today, Louise’s name is synonymous with relaxed luxury, and she has designed spectacular homes around the world. Richly illustrated throughout, Interior: Louise Bradley is the first in-depth exploration of Louise’s work, and provides a fascinating insight into her design process and the creative thinking behind a variety of her most accomplished projects. The featured homes include historic London town houses, a lofty apartment, sophisticated pieds-à-terre, a Victorian country house, opulent villas in Kuwait and an Alpine chalet, as well as Louise’s own homes – an oasis of calm in the city and a cosy country retreat. Regardless of the project type, Louise seeks always to be respectful of the architecture and to uphold and enhance the context and natural setting of a building. Her approach is to create tranquil, supremely comfortable and harmonious spaces that effortlessly combine custom-made furniture and accessories, unique finishes and state-of-the-art technology. While each project is individual, she generally prefers a muted colour palette, one that allows the beauty of a room to unfurl through the use of carefully layered materials, exquisite lighting and strategically placed signature pieces. Louise’s renowned eye for detail is explored in the book in four key ‘Elements’ sections that focus on Scale, Texture, Form & Function, and Reflection. Interior: Louise Bradley offers devotees of her ‘classic contemporary’ aesthetic an unrivalled opportunity to discover more about her inimitable design vision and her most captivating projects.
