Barbara Bromley – Bromley & Tate Interiors
With a background in business and visual merchandising, Barbara Bromley studied interior design at the School of Arts in Chelsea, London. In 1999 she opened her own business in Australia, taking it from a small white wood store with a staff of two to an interior design business offering custom made furniture, colour consultations and a complete design and fitout service for commercial and residential projects.
Over the last 12 years Barbara has designed homes both in Australia and the United Kingdom. Her extensive travels have seen her working on homes in the English countryside, quaint houses in Boston, pubs in Newcastle and an upper deck of a fabulous boat, now in the Caribbean. Recent projects include waterfront homes and luxury apartments in Sydney and an exclusive B & B in the Hunter Valley.
