How Can I help?

With over 25 years experience working in Interior Design and soft furnishings, I have been asked all of the above questions and more. 

​

There is a lot of flowery language used by interior design companies to describe their exceptionally fabulous, luxurious, wonderful services, but

what you really need is someone with the skills to complete your project and make the property you live in feel like home. Whether your budget is £1,000 or £100,000...there are products to suit you, and I know where to find them. I can save you weeks of trawling shops and websites with my extensive product knowledge. I am a bit of an anorak when it comes to sourcing and if I don’t recognise something, I will narrow down the search and share it with experienced colleagues.

​

I have worked with clients who cannot agree, and found their compromise solution; designed window treatments for impossible situations; refined architects plans to enhance flow and space, often creating bonus storage in the process; and offered furnishing solutions for that ‘impossible room’.

 

Isn't it Expensive?

While using a designer will add to your up front costs, I will save you money by avoiding errors and save you time by being focused and informed. By taking a full brief and asking lots of questions, I can accurately interpret your requirements and style to arrive at a solution quickly, so you can get on with enjoying your new space.
