A Rug Can Transform A Space

“A rug can completely transform a space. Sometimes, I begin a project with the rug as the foundation, letting its textures and colours set the tone. The surrounding elements are then chosen to complement it, making the rug the cornerstone that shapes the entire design.”

– Marylou Sobel

Rugs can be a dynamic addition, effortlessly transforming the look and feel of a room. Whether they complement your existing décor or serve as the room-defining element, they enhance the ambience and bring comfort and warmth to any space.

A bold, statement rug can instantly become the focal point of a room. Selecting a vibrant pattern with  eye-catching colours can create a striking visual impact.

Choosing a rug that incorporates colours or textures from your existing décor within the space will create a cohesive and seamless synergy.

If your space features a neutral colour palette, a statement rug is the perfect way to inject personality and interest, adding depth, comfort and style.

It helps reinforce the overall design aesthetic ensuring that your room feels curated and complete.

Stephanie Nadel

Assosciate Interior Architect

What makes Stephanie Nadel’s success story so remarkable is that she has come so far, so fast.
Stephanie, the Associate Interior Architect at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, has gained more experience, and handled more responsibilities in the past ten years than many other design professionals take on in their careers.

Stephanie, a multi-talented full service professional, carried out a wide variety of commercial and residential design tasks while she was based in London. She worked for three prominent interior design firms, as well as on her own, and served clients around the world.

In the process, she helped complete within 12 weeks the design and installation of a penthouse suite on The World, the luxury residential yacht that circumnavigates the globe. Prior to this Stephanie lead the full refurbishment of a lavish, Grade II listed, five bedroom home in the Hampstead Garden suburbs in London.

During her five years in London, she worked with Gensler, the world’s largest collaborative design, planning and consulting firm; MoreySmith, a leading design and architecture studio, and Fiona Barratt Interiors, an award-winning luxury design firm.

Assisting with projects for those firms, launching her own residential practice, and interacting with vendors worldwide provided her with project management, creative problem solving, sourcing, technical and other skills that benefit her clients today.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Interior Architecture degree at the University of New South Wales.

While she is adept in several aspects of design, she’s particularly interested in the challenge of refurbishing existing spaces. “I enjoy the problem solving that’s involved with existing buildings,” she says. “Although it is always a privilege to design alongside a team to create new and innovative structures, I love creating meaningful design from older properties and taking inspiration from heritage details.”
