What Is Interior Design

 This is the study of internal form, structure and architecture which is then transformed into aesthetically balanced spaces, encouraging flow and connectivity. A successful interior showcases an appropriate palette of furniture styles, layout arrangements, surface materials and lighting designs.

What Makes Design & Conker Different

 Pivoting experience in the luxury design sector and a passion for delivering exceptional service, I persevered to build my practice from scratch over ten years. As design director, I take great care to develop trusting partnerships with my clients while managing their projects. Time is spent to fully appreciate your personal lifestyle and expectations before commencing the design process. My areas of expertise include interior conversions, lofts and property extensions. In addition to creating innovative spatial drawings and photorealistic visuals, I manage design implementations by working both on and off site with my builders, suppliers and craft specialists. Sustainability is high on the agenda at Design & Conker Interiors. I specify and procure responsibly sourced furniture, furnishings and equipment and wherever possible, upcycle and integrate existing pieces to enrich the design character. To keep tight control and be readily available to the team, I engage only a few commissions simultaneously. I am fully committed to my clients and their projects and therefore, always within close reach to provide everyone with ongoing support and advice until successful completion

What Clients Say: “Sometimes visions are not easily imagined if you are not creative as we weren’t. Jo was able to help us visualize ideas and was able to achieve the look and style we were looking for … we would not have achieved this without her guidance, insight and patience”

Working Together: We start by discussing your thoughts and ideas to understand what you are hoping to achieve and how we can work together to obtain these goals. We touch on budgets, building works, project phases (split or consecutive) and other relevant details. Associated design fees and the next steps forward are all outlined here. Following our consultation I visit the property to carry out a survey of the respective interiors. There is a fee for this on-site meeting and measuring service which is refundable once we engage. In addition to spatial planning and interior designing, if you would like me to manage the project - handle daily decisions, technical questions and installation queries - we can have that conversation. With a command of the industry jargon and comfortable rapport with tradesmen, I act as the bridge between my clients and everyone else. This ensures all design specifications and finishing standards are adhered to from concept through to completion.

“You know you have the very best designer project leader when you, nearly a year after finishing the project, think to yourself when entering your home: This is amazing!"
