Why Engage An Interior Designer

 Interior design 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 a palette of appropriate furniture styles, layout arrangements, surface materials, colours and lighting. As a qualified and experienced interior designer, I approach every project from a professional and objective viewpoint. Attributes and limitations are integrated to create interiors which are practical, sustainable and beautiful and, encompass that sense of well being in your HOME.

Designing what looks like an amazing space is a small part of a very big picture. Knowing what furniture, furnishing and equipment (FF&E) to select, where to procure good quality and sustainable materials and how to balance finite budgets with procurement deliveries requires careful planning and lateral thinking. Then, we've got the builders. Managing lots of different tradesmen to accurately implement design specifications in a timely manner, is not an easy feat. In addition to planning and designing residential spaces, I offer a full Interior Design & Project Management Service. Clients have the assurance that every aspect of their project is completed by qualified professionals under my control and directives.

Working In Close Partnership

At Design & Conker Interiors we like to do things properly which means working with you on a one to one basis to develop a personalised design plan to align with your needs. The process starts with us discussing your thoughts and ideas to understand what you want to achieve and how we can work together to achieve these aspirations. Budgets, timelines and details of the next steps forward are all outlined at this stage. There is a full  Interior Design & Project Management Service which offers you an all inclusive concept to completion handing. When we commence the project we look after everything - from planning permissions to specification drawings and sign offs - so you don't need to sort out these ongoing matters.

 Having built the practice from scratch, I take great care to uphold a trusting partnership with my clients while also managing their projects. Time is spent to appreciate the individual lifestyles and expectations before engaging any design process. Specialising in interior conversions, lofts and property extensions I create all 2D spatial drawings, photorealistic visuals and a comprehensive Design Pack from which independent builders can easily carry out installations. As Project Manager, I work both on and off site alongside my (or your) builders, suppliers and craftsmen to ensure accurate design implementations. Sustainability is high on the agenda at Design & Conker Interiors. Only responsibly sourced furniture, furnishings and equipment are procured and wherever possible, we upcycle and integrate existing pieces to enrich your unique design style. 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 the team with ongoing support and advice.
