Interior stylists
Room compositions, furniture proportions and material palettes in oatmeal, sage and warm timber. Useful when a space needs to stay calm while still working around a walking frame or a wheelchair.
A reference collection grows out of many hands. Here is what each group brings, what their work is useful for, and where to read more.
The gallery is not the work of one studio. Interior stylists send room compositions and material choices. Occupational therapists add notes on grab-rail placement, non-slip flooring, lighting levels and doorway clearances. Family caregivers bring the everyday questions that surface when a home is being adapted for an older relative. Each contribution is filed by room, so a family planning a bathroom can read the therapist's notes next to the stylist's tile choices without hunting through unrelated material.
Room compositions, furniture proportions and material palettes in oatmeal, sage and warm timber. Useful when a space needs to stay calm while still working around a walking frame or a wheelchair.
Measured notes on rail heights, floor grip, task lighting and the clear width a doorway actually needs. Best read alongside the room sketch, where distances are drawn rather than described.
The practical questions that come up at home: where shoes get taken off, how a bedside lamp is reached, what happens when two people share one bathroom. These shape which rooms get covered first.
Room type, budget band or mobility need. A family in Johannesburg working with a narrow hallway will land on different items than one in Cape Town reworking a bathroom, and the gallery keeps both routes open.
Saved items and printed pages are meant to sit on a kitchen table, not stay on a screen. Use them when talking with a builder, a therapist or the relative who will actually live in the room.
The gallery is not one person's opinion. It is a working mix of professional notes and family experience, gathered around the rooms people actually live in.
Interior stylists working in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban send through full room arrangements, not single objects. You see how a bed, a chair and a lamp sit together, and which material choices hold up in daily use.
Occupational therapists add the numbers behind the pictures: grab-rail placement, doorway clearances, lighting levels and non-slip flooring. Those notes turn a pleasant photograph into something a family can measure against their own hallway.
Caregivers describe the small problems that come up at home, like a threshold that catches a walking frame or a cupboard nobody can reach. Those questions shape which rooms and details get added next.
Every entry is tagged by room type, budget band and mobility need, so you can start from a bedroom with a walking aid in mind, or from a bathroom where a wheelchair has to turn.
Alongside each room set there is a hand-annotated floor sketch with clearances marked. Families print these and use them in planning conversations with builders, family members or a therapist.
Ideas can be saved to a shared board, so siblings and relatives can look at the same shortlist instead of describing rooms over the phone. It keeps the discussion on the layout, not on memory.
