Your name: Emma Blomfield
What you do: I’m a Sydney based Interior Stylist specialising in online decorating so that I am able to offer my services to homeowners across the country, especially those in rural or regional areas with limited access to design services. (nestdesigns.com.au)
Your latest project: A holiday rental apartment in Palm Beach, it’s a full fit out, right down to the corkscrews in the cupboards! As well as travelling the country to run decorating workshops in rural areas, it’s so great to meet so many lovely homeowners around Australia and see that my city clients and rural clients share many common decorating problems despite their locations. It’s been a really rewarding and inspiring experience so far, with three more workshops across the east coast booked in for the rest of this year.
Who are three people that inspire/excite you:
1) Diane Bergeron
