Furniture retailer Loom Loft has announced a property renovation collaboration with interior stylist Siobhan Murphy, celebrated for her luxurious, glamorous, and boldly creative approach to interior design.
"While Siobhan is widely known for her colourful maximalist style, her versatility allows her to adapt seamlessly to each project’s unique story and setting," says the retailer. "For this renovation, she is taking a more nature-inspired direction, embracing a muted, earthy colour palette that honours the heritage and tranquil surroundings of the property."
Siobhan Murphy, Interior Curve, says: “Although I’m known for my colourful, maximalist style, this project has been a beautiful opportunity to explore a more pared-back, nature-led palette. Loom Loft’s collection offered exactly the right balance of texture, softness and craft to complement the cottage’s history. Together, we’re creating a space that feels soulful, stylish, and deeply connected to its surroundings.”
Siobhan is reimagining the historic Salterhebble Lock Keeper’s Cottage in Halifax, a Grade II listed building set beside the Salterhebble Basin. Currently undergoing a full renovation, the detached two-bedroom cottage, with its timber windows and characterful architecture, is being transformed into a considered Airbnb retreat. The design will fuse the cottage’s historic charm with soft, calm and organic tones that echo its landscape, while still carrying Siobhan’s signature layering of texture, detail and personality.
Tracy Leeming, head of marketing at Loom Loft, says: “We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Siobhan on such a characterful and historic project. Her ability to balance creativity with sensitivity to a building’s heritage is inspiring. The Lock Keeper’s Cottage has a truly unique charm, and seeing our pieces woven into a calm, nature-led scheme that still carries Siobhan’s signature personality is something we’re very excited to share. It’s a collaboration that celebrates craftsmanship, storytelling, and the beauty of thoughtful design.”
To bring this vision to life, Siobhan has selected a mix of Loom Loft furniture and accessories, each chosen "for their craftsmanship, warmth, and ability to enhance a naturally inspired scheme".
"Siobhan’s approach to the Lock Keeper’s Cottage blends heritage sensitivity with modern refinement, using thoughtful materials, gentle tones and considered styling to craft a serene, nurturing space for future guests," says Loom Loft. "The result will be a unique retreat that captures both the soul of the building and the calm of its waterside setting."
The project is set for completion in December, with a full reveal to follow across the retailer's channels.
