I'm a freelancer. I'm self employed and travel mostly across Sheffield and the surrounding area. Because I'm self employed I have lower overheads, flexible time and a more personal approach.
Often I find clients have lots of ideas and inspiration but they just don't know where to start.

I used Faye when for a project in my salon, I wanted a Bohemian feel to the salon. I gave Faye a ton of different ideas and some how she managed to narrow them down and create something beautiful!
The reason I chose to work with Faye in the end was her experience with Vintage themes and her enthusiasm for my ideas.
I was on a time frame so she was ultra prompt with everything which I liked and put up with my calls whilst shopping for bits and pieces and my daft questions about matching colours.
Her art work and ideas board were stunning and must have took her time she is obviously very talented.I really cant recommend Faye enough! Very professional.
Thank you Faye and hope to work with you again in the future!

Sam is a wonderful client, she had so many ideas and really visualised where she wanted the designs for the space to go. The project was an unusual brief and we were both eager to get going. The outcome is a truly beautiful, relaxing space for her clients. An absolute pleasure to work with, thank you.
Pastures Moo Ltd
We engaged Faye to assist in the design of our new ice cream parlour. We were very impressed with the range of ideas and concepts provided and went on to successfully develop and implement many of these.
Faye is a real pleasure to work with and has great imagination backed by solid practical knowledge. She very quickly grasped our requirements and was able to translate thoughts into reality.
We would not hesitate to use Faye again and in recommending her to others.

Pastures Moo was an amazing project to be part of. A building full of history to be reimagined as an ice cream parlour that everyone could enjoy. Sympathetically designed to preserve period qualities. Pastures Moo whole heartedly enabled me to be involved throughout all stages of the transformation. An absolute pleasure to work with and a truley lovely space. A must see/taste!

Faye was wonderful- she listened to what look we wanted and designed three boards with her ideas. I'm pleased to say that we have used most, if not all of her ideas and we are looking forward to seeing everything in place. Faye is very approachable and customer focuses and we would recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer- in face we did so to our neighbour More...

I couldn't have asked for a more welcoming family to invite me in to their home. Such wonderful architectural plans you had already, just a helping hand with the scheme and finishing touches. You responded positively to all design ideas suggested. When complete your new home will no doubt be a show stopper.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, a true gentleman. A beautiful building with heritage that will provide a place of comfort for backpackers and travelling students to recharge. I look forward to our further endeavours.
What’s your interior design process?
After an initial meet to see the client and the space I begin to research the desired style. Sketch work then comes into play to allow me to visualise the new scheme taking shape. Collecting relevant samples along the way of fabrics, wallpapers and colour choice. The specification/sourcing of furniture is often required. Full plans, sections and visuals allow the new scheme to be realised.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Each brief I have previous designed for has been completely different. Every client has had a different sense of style. Flexibility is key. However my most recent projects have included an industrial style kitchen, a New England open plan kitchen/diner/living space and a warm and inviting country snug. I have also worked on various commercial projects consisting of a rural ice cream parlour and a modern hostel for travelling students.
What do you love most about your job?
Interior Design is a wonderful outlet for my creativity. To be able to transform a space that people use everyday is very rewarding. Meeting people along the way and learning about how they live in their homes is very interesting, each household has different wish list and a different style they would like for their own.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having the time to spend with clients is important. The flexibility to dedicate time to a project and work on it whole heartedly is something that I am able to offer. Personally I enjoy meeting new people and as mentioned before, make a difference to a space that will be used everyday.
Why should our clients choose you?
It's a very personal choice for the clients when choosing a designer. They after all will be working with you to visualise your new home/business. If you have viewed some of my previous completed projects in my portfolio they will give you a sense of me as a designer. They can be found at www.fayearmstrong.co.uk.
Inspiration
If you have a few ideas but don't know where to start, I can guide you in the right direction. Together with your initial thoughts we will create a concept idea for your space in which you can continue at your own leisure. Just by talking through some options you will have a clearer idea as to where you can go with your project.
Note: No design boards will be produced within this service particular service option.
Complete Redesign.
Once the brief has been discussed and the location visited initial research will be conducted into our options for the space. Using samples, furniture specification, visuals, plans and sections where relevant a complete design will be presented. Once signed off this can then be handed over to tradesmen to be implement.
Commercial Projects
Having worked within retail for several years I can develop a range of schemes from window dressing, set staging and home staging. I can also work with developers to design show homes which will meet your customers needs and help them visualise living there.
