Profile

Gail Marsden / Gail Marsden Design

I love luxury and pay great attention to detail and spatial planning - I like to design my spaces with clean simple lines but incorporate a couture look with the finishes and fabrics such as silver, polished plaster, shagreen, Perspex, wonderful rich dark woods, natural linens, cashmere, silk, and linen rugs on limestone floors.

Luxurious bathrooms which once meant gold taps and jacuzzi baths are replaced with sunken baths, wetrooms, mirrored units and use of wood - seamless kitchens leading onto open dining rooms and living areas.

I always like to place a few star pieces - this could be a special chair or a vintage 1930s Baccarat lamp, a wonderful mirror or mother of pearl box.

Without a professional team you don’t have a business. I am very lucky to have surrounded myself with a team of builders and craftsmen that are some of the best in the country. We can space plan and design complete houses to the highest specification - successful design isn’t just about decoration, if the fundamental issues are not addressed from the outset, no amount of expensive fabric and furniture will work.

We as a team put great emphasis on lighting, getting the spaces planned properly and making sure the finishes are perfect.

All Gail Marsden projects are ensured a careful focus and great attention to detail and because every room is different, we approach every assignment in a different way.

This way, we never become stale or work to a set of formula, allowing your rooms to evolve and continue looking good for many years to come.
