OUR STORY
1807 Design draws its name from the significant date of July 18th, commemorating both Ally's mom and sisters' birthdays and memorializes the memory of a departed family member. 1807 Design is a full-service interior design firm focused on providing our clients with beautiful spaces that seamlessly blend contemporary laid back interiors with a touch of cool.
ALLY WATSON
Founder & Creative Director
As founder and creative director of 1807 Design, Ally's passion for promoting slow living is heavily influenced by the laid-back vibes of coastal living and is reflected in her designs. Natural materials, layered textures, and minimal colour palettes are her calling cards and creating timeless and effortlessly chic spaces that exude warmth and character. Her designs are far from precious, but rather lived-in, curated with an invitation to relax, unwind and connect with one another.
Before launching 1807 Design, Ally worked for a high-end residential firm on projects that brought her to Singapore and also as an Art Director in television, notably on two seasons of the hit show "Love it or List it Vancouver".
Ally's mission is to bring personality and life to every space she designs. She is dedicated to making sure her clients feel at home, while also introducing them to new design elements that will make their spaces unique.
