What does an interior designer do when a client gives their studio carte blanche? For Chelsea Hing, she didn’t hesitate to flex her creative muscles — and for her client, it was a massive relief.
“I don't think they mind me saying they were floundering,” says Chelsea of her clients, soon-to-be empty nesters in the city of Bendigo, about two and a half hours outside Melbourne. By the time the project landed on Chelsea’s doorstep, the modern home was partially built, but had also exchanged a number of hands, architecturally, without a singular vision to finesse the final stage. With so many people and trades involved (but no one steering the ship), it was nearing completion without a steady hand, and the clients were keen to hand over control.
