Before & After
The following images best depict the interior design of structurally predetermined spaces transformed with fixtures, fabrics, furnishings & art. In most cases the rooms were completely empty
and tailored to the vision and functionality of each client.
The Doctor's new flat
Proposal: The newly purchased flat came with the existing furnishings to be used in the interim. This client requested a casual yet sophisticated design with an autumnal colour palette.
Living room - With the replacement of every single furnishing and the addition of a warm paint colour, a built in media/bookcase unit and light fixtures, the room was totally transformed.
Second bedroom - This room was redesigned for a 10 year old with the
colour palette in keeping with his favorite sports team.
The Luxury High rise Apartment
Proposal: To update and redesign the existing rooms with the purchase of a few new furnishings and reupholstering others with the colour palette to center around the oriental carpets.
Office/ Den - A new colour palette used for the sofa, curtains and cushions comply recreated and lightened the room. The greek key pattern one of the client's favorites, was used on the cushions and curtain trim.
Living room - Seating reupholstered with the color palette referenced from the rugs and painitings transformed this room and lifted the mood.
Sitting room - A new sofa in a neutral fabric with the royal and light blue cushions to tie in the palette from the adjacent living room was added. The existing ottoman was tufted and reupholstered in leather with nailheads and a beautiful R Lauren lamp completed the look.
The London St James seven story five en suite bedroom townhome
Proposal: To completely furnish the home to appeal to a broad audience for sale of the property. Following are a few of the rooms.
Entry room - A complete refurbishment with lighter paint colours, fabrics coordinated with the art for the furnishings & curtains, light fixtures, and inset wall mirrors
Library - A continuation of the lighter paint colour with the repositioning and addition of new light fixtures, floor coverings and custom furnishings.
Drawing room - Adjacent to the Library so new lighting fixtures and colour palette, and furnishings were selected to compliment each other.

I am delighted with the stunning home that Naomi has created for me. She has been the consummate professional throughout the entire process, showing expertise, creative flair and astonishing attention to detail.
Naomi thoroughly and meticulously co-ordinated all aspects of my apartment’s transformation from design brief to organising and supervising furniture delivery, painting and electrical work. She consulted and advised
me at every stage and I acknowledge her skill at consistently listening for creative possibility. Naomi has created a warm and atmospheric space with tasteful Autumnal colours and has combined this with an excellent
selection of the highest quality furniture at affordable cost. She has created a luxurious home which has exceeded all of my highest expectations.

Naomi Silva is a master of her craft. My pretty home was turned into an art form and a very comfortable one. Naomi believes rooms are for living not just display. She used colors from the art and rugs I love most to
weave the rooms into a harmonious and classic beauty. Now, people always stop and say this is very beautiful at first glance, and sometimes their second and third glances. I feel that way every day.

Naomi Silva of Naomi Silva Interior Design has done a superb job redecorating the open floor-plan family room of a house my husband and I recently purchased; we highly recommend her. The design is beautiful,
and we are thrilled with it, and Naomi was great to work with. Naomi was able to incorporate the furnishings I already had into the overall design by having window covering made with fabric in colors, style, and
pattern scale complimentary to my mission style furnishings, beautifully made throw pillows, a reupholstered bench, and paint. The paint colors and finishes Naomi chose for the walls, trim, ceilings, and woodwork
(which had previously been stained, but the color didn’t go with my furniture), are gorgeous, provide just the right amount of contrast, and create a calm, lovely, light space. Naomi chose an accent wall paper for the
kitchen table area that ties everything together seamlessly. The light fixtures she recommended are perfect.
Naomi made and sent mood boards so that we could better visualize what the room would look like, and she gave us options from which to choose – everything was beautiful, and choosing wasn’t so easy (a good thing)! The mood boards included swatches of fabrics, large samples of paint colors, the actual wall papers, pictures of light fixtures, and even details like samples of trim for the window coverings and piping for the pillows. Those boards were very helpful in deciding which options we liked best, and it was nice to be able to feel the cloth and see the exact colors of everything. All products are top quality.
Communication was great and easy, especially as we are separated by an ocean and five hours’ time difference. We communicated by email, phone, and the postal service. Naomi was always prompt in answering my emails, kept me up to date, and was always clear and easy to understand. She did all of the ordering and coordination of fabrics, the fabricating of the window coverings, and the wall paper.
We love the finished project and love spending time in our beautiful home. Naomi made this an easy, smooth process for us. It was truly a pleasure working with her.

Naomi’s experience and expertise was invaluable for helping me choose paint colours for my home. Not only this, but Naomi created a ‘mood board’ to help me envisage co-ordinating lighting and furnishings which really helped me imagine what could be achieved.
Naomi attended regularly to ensure the paint shades worked as we had anticipated, and she came to view once all the work was complete to assess the outcome. I could never have created the look that I have without her guidance and experience.
