This Rawtenstall business has saved millions of LEGO bricks from landfill - using technology to re-sort them into sets to be sold and reused. We took a tour around the factory

Colour isn’t just decoration. It changes how a space feels and how people experience a brand.

For La Chouquette, every colour was chosen with intention.

The deep royal blue gives the bakery its strong identity. It feels confident, distinctive and sophisticated.

Black adds depth and contrast, grounding the space and allowing the products and architectural details to stand out.

White brings freshness and clarity particularly important around food while balancing the darker, richer tones.

And the warm brass and gold details introduce warmth and a subtle sense of luxury, catching the light and making the space feel special without becoming formal.

Together with the natural tones of the timber and, of course, the beautiful colours of the bread and pastries themselves, the palette creates the experience we wanted: warm, memorable, premium and welcoming.

That’s why, for us, colour is never simply “What looks nice?”
It’s always: “How do we want people to feel when they walk through the door?”

That is where design starts. 💙

There is something very special about a place where architecture, art and nature are not treated as separate elements, but as one composition.

What stayed with me most here was the extraordinary care for detail: the stone, the ironwork, the floors, the proportions, the framed views, the planting, the art — each element considered, but never shouting for attention.

The architecture creates the rhythm.
The art adds emotion.
The landscape softens and completes the experience.

For me, this is what thoughtful design is about: creating harmony between the built environment and the natural world, so that every detail contributes to how a place feels.

It is a reminder that the most memorable spaces are not simply beautiful, they are layered, connected and deeply considered.

Coming back to Italy is always more than coming home. 🇮🇹

For me, and for The Space Whisperer, it is a chance to reconnect with our Italian heritage and immerse ourselves again in a culture where architecture, art and craftsmanship have been intertwined for centuries.

Walking through Siena, I found myself drawn to the details: the rhythm of black and white stone, the extraordinary marble floors, the geometry, proportion and incredible craftsmanship.

Everywhere you look, there is intention.

It reminds me that timeless design isn’t about following trends. It comes from proportion, material, craftsmanship and the relationship between every element of a space.

I don’t want to recreate the past, but to learn from it, reinterpret it and bring the very best of that design culture into the spaces we create today.

Italy will always be part of my design DNA, and every time I return, I bring a little more of it back with me. 🇮🇹

From vision to transformation.

La Chouquette is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can completely change the way a retail space looks, feels and works.

From the shopfront and customer journey to product visibility, staff flow and brand identity, every decision was considered as part of one complete experience.

We’re incredibly proud of this transformation and very grateful to the La Chouquette team for trusting The Space Whisperer with their vision.

If you’re planning the next chapter of your retail, café, restaurant or hospitality space, we’d love to hear from you.
