LoveEast talks to Margo King of Natura<br />
Gratia about interior makeovers<br />
How did Natura Gratia begin?<br />
It started at the end of 2014<br />
after I completed studies at<br />
The Interior Design School<br />
in London. Together with my<br />
business partner, Anna, who is<br />
also a very skilled craftswoman,<br />
I wanted to offer people the<br />
opportunity to enhance their<br />
homes without<br />
breaking the<br />
bank.<br />
It’s great when<br />
one has a<br />
huge budget<br />
and capacity<br />
for stretching<br />
their house in<br />
every possible<br />
direction but not everybody<br />
falls into this category – nor do<br />
they need to in order to have a<br />
beautiful living space.<br />
What’s important to you as an<br />
interior designer?<br />
Our focus on interpreting the<br />
client's vision of a beautiful<br />
house means that they don’t<br />
need to go back to a blank<br />
canvas. It is<br />
key to have<br />
an open and<br />
honest chat<br />
before the<br />
client throws<br />
anything out.<br />
Project before and, above, after makeover<br />
We take a good<br />
look and see<br />
how things<br />
can be used differently, maybe<br />
re-invented. It’s not only about<br />
changing colours or textures but<br />
also about creating the right flow<br />
and communication within the<br />
space.<br />
What’s your approach to interiors?<br />
We provide professional design<br />
and decorating services and<br />
use our clever techniques to<br />
bring the best out of interiors. I<br />
always compare our approach<br />
to interiors with the tactful<br />
maintenance of a human face; we<br />
all age but it’s about celebrating<br />
the right features and disguising<br />
the less flattering ones.<br />
Who should call you for help?<br />
Home owners interested in<br />
enhancing the aesthetics of their<br />
interiors and making them more<br />
practical – without starting a<br />
house revolution.<br />
