A bit about Mignon
That interior design is in my blood is not an exaggeration - having grown up in a family business steeped in a backdrop of furniture and interior shops, it makes perfect sense. Furthermore, at 21 years of age I managed my first small interior shop, and my personal dream was realised.
With a BSc degree in Consumer Sciences with Textile Specification and having gained 10 years’ experience in the interior design industry, I am confident that my understanding of colour palettes, fabric choices and finishes will be instrumental in creating a beautiful, cohesive design that enhances and complements any particular space, to ensure it remains classic, yet innovative and relevant.
My greatest challenge is the flexibility and creative freedom that an ever-changing industry affords me in order to live my passion, which is textiles - and how, by listening carefully to the client’s needs (and often dreams) I am able to use my eye for detail, love of fabric and understanding of how interiors come together to deliver the client’s brief.
A bit about Stan
I am proud, after 22 years, still to be part of Debonair’s 25-year celebration. Back then it was a one-man operation and generating business involved feet on the ground, pamphlet drops and solo installations. When I trained my first Installation Technician, I increased the expert knowledge and experience required for any kind of window treatment fitting.
My greatest lessons learnt have related to time – service – quality. I am always on time for appointments as I believe this will offer assurance regarding the pace of the job, once secured; I pride myself in giving clients my utmost attention from start to finish, not because I should, but because they deserve it; and I work hard to not only source the exact fabric or material they want, but I insist on it being of the highest quality, to ensure a customised, stylish finish.
What I love best about the interior design industry is being able to interact with different clients, helping them to find what best suits their living spaces, producing and fitting bespoke, modern window treatments and finally enjoying their delight at their newly improved, designer, luxurious look. What I do is my passion!
