In this episode of Behind The Design, Emilie Fournet explains how she created an interior that reflects both the building\u2019s history and the personality of her clients.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by Emilie Fournet<br \/>\nWebsite: https:\/\/www.emiliefournetinteriors.com\/<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/emiliefournetinteriors<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our channels:<br \/>\nThe Interior Design Show &#8211; @TheInteriorDesignShow<br \/>\nThe Luxury Home Show &#8211; \u2068@TheLuxuryHomeShow<br \/>\nThe New Build Show &#8211; @TheNewBuildShow<br \/>\nThe New Home Show &#8211; @TheNewHomeShowUSA<br \/>\nMiddle East Home Show &#8211; @MiddleEastHomeShow<br \/>\nThe Unique Home Show &#8211; @TheUniqueHomesShow<br \/>\nFounders Channel &#8211; \u2068@@MattandSummer <\/p>\n<p>Follow our socials:<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theinteriordesignshow\/<br \/>\nTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@theinteriordesignshow<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theinteriordesignshow<\/p>\n<p>Visit our website:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.theinteriordesignshow.com<\/p>\n<p>For feature enquiries or to have your property considered for an upcoming episode, email hello@theinteriordesignshow.com<\/p>\n<p>Episode Chapters:<br \/>\n00:00 Intro<br \/>\n00:37 Initial Design Vision<br \/>\n00:58 Designing for a Grade II Listed Home<br \/>\n01:18 Preserving Georgian Features<br \/>\n01:41 The Client\u2019s Brief<br \/>\n02:05 Balancing Warmth and Luxury<br \/>\n02:40 Modernising the Layout<br \/>\n03:14 Collaborating with the Build Team<br \/>\n03:56 Creating a Cohesive Interior<br \/>\n04:23 Choosing Colours, Joinery and Fabrics<br \/>\n05:18 Maximising Natural Light<br \/>\n05:45 The Project\u2019s Biggest Challenge<br \/>\n06:18 Emilie Fournet\u2019s Design Style<br \/>\n06:25 Renovating Historic Homes<br \/>\n06:57 Emilie Fournet Interiors\u2019 Brand Identity<br \/>\n07:38 Blending History with Modern Living<br \/>\n08:05 Creating a Lived-In Feel<br \/>\n08:37 The Evolution of the Studio<br \/>\n09:03 Future Projects<br \/>\n09:27 Interior Design Advice<br \/>\n09:50 Outro<br \/>\n10:04 Coming Up Next<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:<br \/>\nTransparency is important to us, and we want to ensure our audience knows that the content we create may involve paid collaborations with clients.
