Sunrise Interiors Blog

Sunrise Interiors were thrilled with the reaction to their interior design scheme installed for Solas at their hostel for the homeless in Newport.

Clifton Place, Newport is a new flagship service providing attractive, modern, supported accommodation for 29 individuals and families who at risk of becoming homeless. The Grade II listed Victorian building, occupies a prime location near St Woolos Cathedral.

With a blank canvas we were asked to create a comfortable and homely interior while respecting the heritage of the building. We injected historic colours throughout the communal areas such as Pugin Red on the walls in the lounge and Yellow Ochre in the entrance halls.

In the lounge we installed a glowing red inset carpet into the laminate floor, sumptuous curtains and cushions with this the room came alive inviting residents to socialise in a warm, relaxing and safe enviroment.

Solas Corporate Director Rhian Stone said the resdents called it their own ”millionaire’s mansion” and that they were very proud of their new home.
