Lucy Tiffney Biography – Lucy Tiffney Wiki
Lucy Tiffney is an award-winning interior designer and artist. She is known for her hand-painted botanical prints, large-scale murals and florals across wallpaper and home accessories. She was a finalist on BBC2’s The Great Interior Design Challenge (GIDC) in 2016.
Following her appearance on the BBC show, Lucy established an award-winning Design Studio offering design services including mural design, wallpaper design, interior design (residential and commercial), rug design, demonstrations & workshops and collaborations.
Born and raised in Maldon, Lucy’s interest in art began at Thurstable School where the teachers let her and her friends use the art rooms at lunchtime. After leaving she went to the Colchester Institute to take an art foundation course before going to Manchester Poly where she got a ‘first’ in textiles.
She then moved to London, where she took a studio manager’s job working for a rug designer.
“I was only supposed to stay for five years,” Lucy told the Colchester Gazette. “I ended up there for 18, working four days a week for the designer and on my day off would do all kinds of freelance work designing my own rugs. Eventually, I left the studio and set up my own company with a guy who designed sofas, which I did for five years.”
With two young children, Lucy moved back to Colchester, where she got a job at the Colchester Institute teaching textiles.
Lucy’s award-winning Design Studio has evolved from years of fulfilling innovative commissions and an aim to make unique, fresh, colourful and happy designs for all. Born out of an inherent necessity to create, Lucy’s large scale beautiful wallpapers and fabrics showcase her signature hand painterly style and unique interpretation of the natural world.
