With an educational background in the Arts, everything I create is an expression of my compulsive love for the perfect aesthetic.
Combining this passion for the Arts with a working background in consultancy and a number of completed home and garden renovations under my belt I have now created the perfect brand where I can bring my experience, interests and talents together in order to help you design your perfect space.
I do feel that being a good listener is key to being an excellent designer, as you want your clients to walk away with a space (or special day) that’s not just beautiful – it’s your dream, fully realised. As I don’t just want to be a designer, more a dream translator.
If you have a space that is in need of transforming, let’s talk. As I would welcome every collaborative opportunity that presents itself. So please do reach out if you would like to know more about how we could work together.
Over the last ten years Antonia has been busy renovating a variety of period properties, including a Victorian terrace house in Liverpool and a 1930’s Art Deco property on the Wirral. She embarked on her latest renovation in 2023, where she is now currently renovating an early Victorian semi-detached house in Oxton, Birkenhead.
Each and every house renovation has thrown up their own unique challenges and with this has well equipped Antonia with first hand experience of the whole end-to-end process of buying, planning, designing, building, renovating and selling houses.
As everybody knows this process can be one of the most stressful periods of anybody’s life, but with careful planning and key anecdotal help it can also be one of your most exciting periods too. As you are building your home. A space where you can weave together moments of beauty, style and memories to last forever.
Vision to Reality
As part of her Vision to Reality design package Antonia will provide the following deliverables:
You’ll walk away with a space (or special day) that’s not just beautiful – it’s your dream, fully realised.
If you would like to reach out, Antonia can provide a consultancy based service to help plan and design your house renovation.
Horticulture is one of Antonia’s great joys and she has been lucky enough to have designed and landscaped a number of her own Gardens, including a plot with it’s own vegetable garden and pond to manage. Each of her Gardens have varied in size, position and aspect, which has provided a great amount of horticultural knowledge. She knows what plant will grow where and how to use successional planting to keep interests fresh throughout the year.
As a classically trained painter at Art school Antonia also has a keen eye for what colours, textures and patterns work well together. Almost creating a work of art rather than just your ordinary back garden design.
If you would like to know more about how Antonia could bring your dream Garden space to life, reach out so she can help design, plan and build the perfect outside space for you and your family.
Why I tell couples to skip the flowers…….
Did you know that you can create a magical, dreamy atmosphere at your wedding without the need for cut flowers? More couples are opting for a much more sustainable approach by using planted containers full of beautiful plants that will keep growing after your special day and will keep the memory alive.
If you are interested in how this could work for you, brilliant – Antonia is the go-to for taste, atmosphere and magic.
Antonia will be selling her pieces both online, via the website or at her local village markets. Please follow Antonia Solven on Instagram and Facebook to keep an eye out for when the next event will be.
Alternatively, if you have a space or an event in mind that you would like her to create a specific planting scheme for using containers please reach out and contact her directly. She will be able to help you source your plant container, plan your planting scheme and deliver your containers filled with your desired planting.
