As Meg Gallagher’s paintings are so rich in both colour and texture, I wanted them to remain the sole focus of the space and style the room to support this. I worked to pull out the colours of this painting with the soft furnishings and overall kept the space pared back and refined. I also utilised soft edges and curves throughout the room.
