Manager Rivenhall Oaks
We're extremely pleased with the work that Hayley at Harp Design did in renovating and rebranding our Oaks Lounge at Rivenhall Oaks. From the start, Hayley understood our vision and executed it with creativity and professionalism. The transformation of the Oaks Lounge is very impressive. Hayley’s attention to detail and her ability to blend modern design with the natural charm of the space have significantly improved the atmosphere. Every aspect, from furniture design to the choice of colours and materials, strikes a perfect balance of style and comfort, creating an inviting environment for our guests. Hayley was great to work with. She listened to our needs, offered valuable suggestions, and kept the project on track and within budget. Her commitment to her work is evident in the final result. Thank you, Hayley, for making Oaks Lounge a stunning and memorable space that our guests will enjoy for years to come. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and we look forward to working with you on future projects. More...

“Working with any company we look to have a good working relationship and the team at Harp did not disappoint. I always got a good response to any questions and the communication that the team at Harp have was always excellent. We worked with some 3D Renders and when these needed updating slightly this was no trouble at all. The designers we worked with at Harp were mindful of budget restraints and helped us to value engineer the project so that we could deliver it at the right price. All in all we received a personal service from Hayley the business owner and all of her staff members. Thank you Harp for helping us on this fantastic project.” David Rutherford – DMR Building Services – Shearman and Stirling Project. More...

We used HARP for our 3rd restaurant, and to be completely honest, we wouldn't have been able to do it without them. Hayley & Tanya went above and beyond in with their help throughout the whole process. From the first meeting until the final handover, they were nothing short of incredible Their passion and professionalism is second to none. Would highly recommend, and would use their services everytime. Thank you for making our dream come true. More...

A belated thank you to Hayley and her team for supplying us with quality furniture at The Abbey Arms public house in Colchester. We are now four months old, and all the stools, tables and chairs are still looking fresh and receive regular compliments from customers - especially the bar stools. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Harp Interiors for quality furniture, and will consider Hayley next time we refurbish (our paths crossed too late, first time around) as what we can see on Facebook and Harp's website looks amazing. Thank you! More...

When we decided after over thirty years that it was time for our family run catering business the Lon Wah Restaurant was to finally have an extensive refurbishment, it was clear that we required an interior designer to realise our ideas for it’s new appearance and to project manage the task in hand.
Hayley [Harp Interiors] provided everything we required and further than anything we had expected. There was a real understanding that this was to a huge financial undertaking but was sympathetic to our budgetary restraints, Hayley also understood that this was to be a project of a deeply personal significance and took the opportunity to revamp the restaurant with enthusiasm.
It was a joy to create designs that melded ideas that we the clients had and to those of Hayley’s. Designs and ideas of not only aesthetics, but with her experience of materials on a practical level with the very nature of the working environment within a restaurant. Harp Interiors had an extensive list of contractors that worked well together to create our combined visions and provided a flexible workflow to allow for alterations needed when an issue presented itself.
Most impressive of all is the communication Hayley provided, not only between the variety of contractors and suppliers but also the willingness to communicate with us through out the project, there is a sense that our vested interests as a client were first.
I will without any doubt recommend Harp Interiors to anyone who is interested and from the changes made to the Lon Wah there is more than a little interest as who created this synergy of ideas to breathe new life to our restaurant.

What do you love most about your job?
Interior design is more than just creating beautiful spaces—it’s about transforming how people experience them. What I love most is the impact design has on people’s lives, whether it’s making a workplace more inspiring, a hospitality space more inviting, or a home more functional and personal.
I thrive on the creative process—taking a concept and turning it into a reality that balances aesthetics, function, and sustainability. Seeing a space evolve from an initial idea to a fully realised design is incredibly rewarding.
I also love the variety in my work. No two projects are the same, and I get to collaborate with talented clients, architects, suppliers, and craftsmen to bring each vision to life. The problem-solving aspect keeps me on my toes, and finding innovative solutions—whether it’s working within tight budgets, navigating technical challenges, or integrating sustainable materials—is something I truly enjoy.
Most of all, I love the moment when a client walks into their finished space and feels that instant connection. That’s when I know I’ve done my job right.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Starting my own interior design business was driven by a mix of passion, creativity, and the desire to do things differently. I wanted to create spaces that are not just visually stunning but also thoughtful, functional, and sustainable.
I’ve always loved the idea of shaping environments that enhance people’s lives, but working within traditional frameworks often meant compromising on creativity or values. I wanted the freedom to work with like-minded clients, push boundaries in design, and focus on projects that truly excite me.
Another major inspiration was seeing a gap in the industry—where sustainability and human-centric design weren’t always prioritised. By launching my own business, I could integrate regenerative design principles, challenge conventional thinking, and work on projects that make a real impact.
Of course, there was also a personal element. I wanted the flexibility to shape my career on my own terms, build a team that shares my vision, and create a work environment that feels collaborative, inspiring, and rewarding.
Ultimately, the decision to start my own business came from a deep love for design and the belief that interiors should do more than just look good—they should feel good, function beautifully, and stand the test of time.
