Hue and Space: How They Relate to Interior Design.
Hue and Space are two fundamental elements in interior design because they are what impact a space's aesthetics, functionality, and emotion.
“Hue” is simply the basic name of a colour — like red, blue, green or yellow — before you add shades, tints or tones. "Space" refers to the physical area within a room. How it’s laid out, how it's used, and how it feels to move around in.
We believe that thoughtful space planning and skilful use of colour can transform any room into a beautiful and functional space for its occupants.
“I’m Jan Lynch,
I studied Interior Design and Decoration at Mercer (Collarts), starting Hue and Space around that same time. My goal was always to share my passion and transform as many spaces as possible. Finding innovative solutions to spatial and design challenges, and thinking creatively to solve problems, brings me joy. To me, positively impacting people's lives by enhancing their living or working spaces is a win-win. Improving the functionality and beauty of a home makes me happy, and in turn, if that influences my clients’ well-being and feelings of happiness, then I’ve achieved my goal.
At Hue and Space, we pride ourselves on being able to incorporate our clients’ favourite pieces into their design: no white boxes, no styling for sale. Instead, individual, bespoke spaces that are created for real people to live in,”

4 reasons why I became an Interior Designer
I can sense when a space isn’t quite right.
I recognise immediately when furniture placement and flow through and around a room aren’t working. I naturally understand where furniture should be placed, and I’ve always had that ability. Studying Interior Design gave me the theory to support my instincts, and now I can share that knowledge with others.
I’m a puzzle addict.
Interior design involves solving practical challenges related to space utilisation. Careful planning and design are required to allow a space to meet its intended purpose. I love to find the balance between functionality, aesthetics, and efficiency to create practical and enjoyable spaces.
I enjoy seeing happy faces.
Well-designed spaces can significantly impact our well-being, productivity, and overall quality of life. As an interior designer, I can create environments that promote comfort, functionality, and harmony. It is fantastic to see clients' faces when a space makes them happy.
Relationships are essential to me.
Building strong client relationships is a crucial aspect of my interior design approach. I enjoy collaborating to bring a client’s vision to life. Witnessing the transformation of a space I've designed and its positive impact on the people who use it can be deeply gratifying and give me a strong sense of accomplishment.
