Inspiration from different sources help us to develop our colour schemes, as shown here for This Space development by Mount Anvil
The inspiraTioncolours and textures excite the senses, and colour palettes are central to every theme we create, providing a platform to work from.
For this development we balanced the colours yellow, grey and white and threaded them throughout. By combining and contrasting the different colours, a space is created which is both fresh and smart, bold and fun.

working on a converted Edwardian building, alongside new build properties on
the conservation site gave us an elegant platform to put into place our complete interiors service.
We designed the specification, common areas, showhomes, and the marketing suite; from the refurbished appartments, to the new build houses, all the different design elements were bespoke and targeted to create a linear look that gave
Our interior design in the award winning development of Barnsbury Place showcasing our work across three different property specifications
a contemporary edge against an impressive historic backdrop.
The focus of both the developer and the designer was on individuality and craftsmanship, sympathetically reflecting the original architecture.
Killian Hurley, Chief Executive of Mount Anvil said:
“The design added a stylish dimension to the apartments and townhouses, which contributed to the sales success of the development and its recent recognition as winner

This productive collaboration between Mount Anvil and our designers contributed to the awards won for the work on this site (see www.sunainteriordesign.com/awards).
“We wanted to make a real statement so we chose a dark and moody colour palette of deep charcoals and warm greys using high quality large tiles, and selected an ebony wood floor which set the tone for the rest of the interior”.

Gold for suna interior designSuna Interior Design take home gold in the KBB bathrooms awards 2011
Designer directors Helen Fewster and Rebecca Tucker have proven they have the
midas touch, as they go on to win their third award at the KBB review awards.
At these exciting major industry awards, Suna Interior Design was heralded yet again for their innovative, and lifestyle enhancing designs, judged on their design of bathrooms at Barnsbury Place, Islington.
Judges were looking for the way designers
managed to provide the contractor, developer or housebuilder with a bathroom that will help them sell their project while keeping costs low and ‘wow factor’ high.
“Winning this award for Bathrooms highlights our commitment to both our creative solutions, and our collaborative and progressive approach working with our fantastic clients. We couldn’t be more pleased, and look forward to another prosperous year and being back at the awards in 2012!” say Helen and Rebecca.

suna interior design creative walls
Walls are the blank canvas from which so much can spring, but all too often they are an afterthought, or a bland backdrop. We see them as features in their own right, and show you how the character of the room becomes larger than life when you produce a creative wall. Here are some examples of our work.

suna interior design wembley
A three bedroom penthouse show apartment, within a large development targeted towards ‘high end’ professional individuals.
w ith this in mind the scheme was chosen to create a feeling of sophistication and
elegance, with touches of boutique style. For example the carved chair put with a modern desk; a practical space with a rich, luxurious feeling.
We opted for creating different looks in the bedrooms, the white one being clean, crisp, and a little quirky with the tall bedside book shelves. And the black bedroom being moodier, using black wallpaper on all the walls, contrasted with white furniture.
The dining room is elongated by the use of a mirror on the wall at the end of the dining table, and the vinyl chandelier makes a stylish design statement.
