A home adapted for lockdown

During lockdown, Gigi converted the room previously used as her BAG&BONES home office into a homeschooling space for her children. A dining table, colourful seating and an uplifting neon quotation transformed the room into a flexible environment for work, learning and family life.

Minimalism with maximalist moments

Gigi describes her interiors style as a combination of clean, minimal design and more expressive elements. Bright colours, patterned wallpaper, humorous artwork and neon lighting introduce character while the wider rooms remain calm and uncluttered.

Lighting as part of the home

BAG&BONES artworks appear throughout the property, from bold red neon in the hallway and dining room to colourful pieces in bedrooms and workspaces. The feature shows how lighting can function as both illumination and a personal piece of art.
