DesignShanly Simpson

This Coatesville home needed to welcome family and friends while working for everyday life. The design balances comfortable gathering spaces with practical choices in furniture, fabrics and storage.

Shanly combined bespoke pieces, a custom dining table and original art with warm, tactile finishes. Durable materials and a considered layout support the way the family uses the rooms, while allowing each space its own character.
