Here we lhighlight inspiring examples of colour at work- or play!- so you can confidently place a firm foot in your preferred camp.
There's no better place to find inspiration than your daydreams, and lucky for all of you, we're dreaming of sun-kissed, salty skin, blue water (tiled pool or shining sea, not fussy) and a location-flexible, rustic Mediterranean abode. France, Italy, Spain or Greece, any one (or all) of them will do just fine in this aesthetically charged fantasy.
Constant inspiration is vital in any creative industry. You never really know where a 'spark' will take you. One cushion could be the catalyst for an entire house or vice-versa. Travel, galleries, commercial spaces, blogs, film and media are all rich sources for FRESH INSPO- here, we share the rooms that are making us SWOON!
How do we future-proof our interior style while still satisfying our insatiable desire for the NEW? Is there an endless love on the horizon?

We've narrowed down THE EIGHT essentials for creating a TIMELESS interior that can evolve with you and one that you'll ALWAYS love!
This isn't quite how we saw 2020 playing out; is it? We're sure many of you, including ourselves, had plans, careers, goals, holidays and restaurant bookings in the pipeline, but now we don't. And that's ok. What we do have is an incredible opportunity to reboot our lives, on all fronts! While we're all for hunting out a new Netflix series to devour and wondering if the dog needs another walk; it's also a great time to get yourself into the best possible position from which to re-launch oneself when all of this is over. And the good news? It will be!
The role of Interior Designer is often touted as a dream job. But what's really involved? We followed Interior Designer Stephanie Haddon as she went about a typical day here at Cooper Robinson. Steph oversees a myriad of Interior Design projects from concept stage to completion, working closely with our Design Director Megan Robinson. Meeting and communicating with her clients, managing tight supplier deadlines and making sure everyone is continually on the same page is all in a days' work. Steph's is a role that requires creativity, sensitivity and a whole lot of organisation!
