Professional interior designer

We are delighted to announce that Holly Pagani of Salt Interiors, a Norfolk based interior designer will be blogging for us in 2012.

Holly has nearly 15 years of interior design experience, having trained in London before moving to Norwich in 2003.

Holly does not use prescribed formulas for her work. Each project is treated as unique and approached with a fresh, open mind because every client has different needs and desires. Holly aims to make the finished project a true reflection of the clients own tastes and personality. A gorgeous home should indeed reflect your character.

Her work covers all aspects of interior design including wallpapers, paint colours, soft furnishing, fabrics, poles and a curtain and blind making service.

Holly set up Salt Interiors in 2010 and has worked on many high profile projects including the interior design for new Abel Homes and the Animal Inn’s chain of restaurants. But her work is very flexible, ranging from a single window blind to a complete design project. Each project starts with a full appraisal and assessment of the space and importantly, by listening carefully to what you want to achieve.

For examples of her work, please visit her website at www.saltinteriors.co.uk or visit our Facebook Fan page gallery at www.facebook.com/PaintandPaper

Welcome on-board Holly!

Each pattern is available in ten colourways, from soft neutrals and pretty pastels to bolder colours and metallic accents. The collection includes a number of new colours including the soft mauve Brassica and lead-toned grey Plummett.

Holkham Linseed Paint Can and Brush

Viscount Coke, Managing Director of Holkham Linseed Paints, has asked Paint & Paper to service their online shop. Online buyers of Holkham Linseed Paints will be directed to Paint & Paper’s site here

“When we were given the opportunity by Viscount Coke to add the prestigious Holkham Linseed Paints range to our portfolio, we jumped at the opportunity. As well as being a local company, we were aware of the excellent qualities of Swedish wood protection products as we already imported paint from Sweden. However, we did not have a first class traditional paint, like the Holkham Linseed brand, so this range fitted very well with our existing portfolio of products.” explained Mr Dix, Managing Director Paint & Paper Ltd.
