About Me

Charlotte Gaisford started her artistic journey being taught art by an 90 year old nun called Sister Loretto. She was strict but encouraging and left a lasting impression on Charlotte which she still has today.

Sister Loretto used to say “Always try your best and realise that there are always others who will succeed you in your ability but remember you are the one who creates original style and feeling in your art, this is priceless and can never be taken away from you.”

A bit of colour for a Thursday morning, all these

A bit of colour for a Thursday morning, all these fabrics could make a scheme for a room and they all come from 5 different collections, I have added in a couple of plain fabrics to break it up. When you add swatches together you have to remember they will be diluted in the room and might not be sitting next to each other. The swatches will give you an idea of the feel you are trying to create. From the left you could have Georgios green for the curtains, Tsarina Blue for the headboard and the rest of the fabrics mix and match cushions on the bed or use for upholstery, ottomans and valances. Although we love fabric it is not doing all the decorating in the room, you will have furniture and pictures, paint colours and flooring. The fabric especailly patterened fabric will bring in a texture and a layer to the room. Don't be frigthened of using colours, these will also be diluted by what else is in the room. So many times I have heard people say they wish they had been a bit braver and regret going for the boring option. I always do simple mood boards and I take photos of them to look back on and see if I still like it or not, the photo today is one of those photos. #moodboards #fabriccollection #fabrictrends2020 #charlottegaisford #bedroomscheme #bedroomfabric #interiorsfabric #britishfabric #bluefabric #greenfabric

It is getting cold and we have had the fire on in

It is getting cold and we have had the fire on in the kitchen! I hope we aren't in for a freezing winter this year. I spend my life collecting wood to make fires because our house is heated by a log boiler, my studio is heated by a log stove and we have quite a few fires in the house. Luckily I was taught well when I was an avid girl guide back in the 70s!! nowadays firelighters do the trick. Here is a photo of my kitchen fireplace showing my lovely fire fenders made by @fionawilbraham I covered them in Georgie Girl pinky fabric so they add a bit of a pop of colour against the Northumbrian stone. It is now a good place for a chat and really adds a focal point to the room. I can't remember where we got the fire from but it is a sort of real fire but log boiler at the same time. The piece of wood above the fireplace is a blade from a popellor from a plane my grandfather flew in WW1. #fireplacesurround #fireplacemakeover #fireplacedecor #logburningstove #firefenders #firefenderseat #designerfabric #charlottegaisford #fionawilbraham #kitchenfireplace #focalpoint #interiorsfabric #instafabric

I have gone blue and here is a photo of the little

I have gone blue and here is a photo of the little hall/lobby I have been decorating, I just need to make some curtains and then I can do a room tour. This was a hard room to decorate because it is really a hallway but is quite wide for a hallway. It is a bit of a non room which could have been used for someting else. I coud have made it into an office or library but really it is a walk through room and nothing seemed to work. Because my house is a barn conversion all the rooms are a certain width and very often you walk through rooms to get to other rooms. This room was built on so we didn't have to walk through the middle of the boys telly room to get to the bedrooms which is what we did before. I haven't decorated this room for years so I am doing it now. I have another hallway to do after this one so I will keep you posted. I have wallpapered it in my Ottoman blue wallpaper, the paint I used for the panelling is French grey @edwardbulmerpaint the lampshade a large shade 50cm @pookylights and the lampbase is @oka and the rug is from @oka. I bought the mirror from a second hand shop in @shepton.mallet. When I post rooms I have decorated I always get asked where I get things from, I have probably forgotten something so do let me know. #hallwaystyle #entrancehalldesign #wallpaperdesigns #bluewallpaper #charlottegaisford #lobbystyle #walkthrough #panelling #englishstyle #bluepaint #wallpaperdesigner #britishstyle #britishdesigner

Delighted to have been picked as the first designe

Delighted to have been picked as the first designer for the new Design series for English Home Magazine and Decorex International. Read the article written about my design business on The English Home website blog @englishhomemag and a sneak peak on @decorex_international We are all going to have to work much harder this year because all these classic events we need for our industry are having to go on line and do it virtually. I personally am not good at doing Zoom mainly because I have had the same broadband speeds for 15 years so its impossile to have video calls. I really hope this idea is embraced and some good things come out of it! Thank you English Home and Decorex for including a small independant desiger in your first Design Series. #englishhome #britishstyle #charlottegaisford #britishfabrics #britishtextiles #britishdesigner #independantdesigner #decorex #exhibition #virtualexhibition #article #designprocess

Lulu pink wallpaper is such a sweet pattern, it gi

Lulu pink wallpaper is such a sweet pattern, it gives texture and detail to a room but it isn't dominating. I remember before I started my business and I was decorating my renovated barn and I was trying to find wallpaper. I found it so difficult to find something that was subtle and calming. I did manage to find some lovely paper but I can't remember where I got it from now, I decorated a bedroom and was so pleased with how it looked, a lovely soft texture that was just enough decoration when it came to using wallpaper. This room didn't last long because we made it into an office and knocked a back door through. I was having a look around at wallpapers the other day and I was amazed at how much 'statement' wallpaper is out there and there isn't much which is soft and subtle, what do you think?#wallpaperdesign #wallpaperdecor #wallpaperdesigner #softwallpaper #subtlewallpaper #charlottegaisford #bathroomwallpaper #bedroomwallpaper #studywallpaper #hallwaywallpaper #pinkwallpaper #britishwallpaper #instawallpapers #designerwallpaper

I am really pleased with how my new collection Goo

I am really pleased with how my new collection Good Girls is going, it is proving very popular and I haven't had a chance to show any photos of the different colourways. I wanted to make some more cushions and show it in action, expecially in the dark blue colourway, the sample fabrics come in and out so quickly I never get a chance to make anything. The collection is made up of 4 patterns named after my dogs, past and present, Rosie, Lulu, Poppy and Betty. We are hoping that Betty might be having puppies soon so there could be a 5th fabric pattern on its way soon.#fabrictrends2020 #britishfabric #newfabrics #fabricshop #instafabric #bluefabric #charlottegaisford #britishfabricdesigner #stripes #traditionalfabric #curtainfabric #upholsteryfabric #cushionfabric #interiorsfabric #designerfabric #designerfabrics #designerfabricstore

Ottoman made from Red Beach red fabric, I often fi

Ottoman made from Red Beach red fabric, I often find I have to re-cover my ottomans quite regularly because my dogs rub themselves along the bottom and make them so filthy! my dogs are all little so it is the perfect height for a good rub, does anyone else have this problem? This is the third cover I have had on this ottoman and first time I re-covered it I did it myself, it was very easy to do, I used the old cover as a pattern and then sewed the seams and staple gunned underneath. I am very fond of this ottoman, its a great size and very useful as extra seating in my drawing room, it get used a great deal. #ottomanstyle #bespokeottoman #recoverottomans #redottoman #redfabric #charlottegaisford

Moody shot of my drawing room, this was the first

Moody shot of my drawing room, this was the first room I painted during lock down, I did try to video document how I put it all together. I created some videos showing how I worked out which fabrics I used. The only thing is I ended up using different combinations so the videos aren't really relevent now. They might be quite useful if you want to see how I mock things up, I will have another look at them and I might publish them on IGTV soon. That last video I added showing how I put a room scheme together attracted lots of comments, I know there are people who need guidance or some kind of direction when it comes to putting rooms together. I will try and add more of these videos over time, I just need to free time to do it! #drawingroomdecor #greenroom #edwardbulmerpaint #invisiblegreen #britishstyle #britishinteriorstyle #pompoms #handmadecurtainsandblinds #upholsteryfabric #bespokecushions #lampshades #charlottegaisford
