Sweet Serenity - Interiors

Posted by Kate
Dated: October 1, 2007 11:02 AM

Patrick Ludde had always wanted to open his own salon, but that dream didn't become a reality until three years ago when he teamed up with business partner Neil Ward.

They chose a site that had been stripped back to an empty shell in London's plush Maddox Street, and called in Welonda's in-house design team, Blu Orbit, and Simon Brown, a well-known feng shui expert.

The outcome was a stylish, boutique salon, which mixes clean contemporary lines with dashes of old-school glamour and opulence.

  • Make lighting a priority
  • Keep walls neutral to avoid any reflection distorting client’s hair colour
  • Be realistic when setting time frames.
