Advertorial<br />

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 />
