What’s your interior design process?
To engage, to listen.
To discuss and propose a design process to suit the clients requirements.
To work to agreed timescales and liaise as necessary during the creation of the scheme.
To present and explain, confirming the design.
To proceed to further design stages as instructed.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
An eclectic mix of all styles.
So many factors influence interior design. The architectural style of the exterior of the building, it's access point, it's position in reference to natural light, how many people use the space....how many guests you would like to invite into the space.
The surrounding area can influence the style, bringing the outside in or keeping the door firmly closed and escaping the world beyond.
What do you love most about your job?
The colour, the textures, the choices, the buzz of getting the design just right. The apparent mess of install day clearing to reveal the vision. Working with like minded, design obsessed people be that colleagues, suppliers or clients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
All of the above. Helping others to enjoy design as much as I do, with the freedom to make direct client contact to fully understand their brief, their aspirations and to make their hard earned money... work hard!
Why should our clients choose you?
All of the above and more.
Friendly, approachable and happy to listen and advise. Passionate about design and helping everyone to appreciate it and live immersed in it, without being overwhelmed by it.
Good design has a strong sense of place, where living with it is effortless but so enjoyable.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I am happy to present via Zoom, followed up by email of the presentation pdf.
If preferred, full A4 fabric and colour sample boards can be posted for reference after the presentation.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Remote working from brief to presentation, removes any Covid concerns as well as saving on travel and travel time costs.
In person visits to carry out next stage surveys etc would also be taken with the utmost care. Distancing and masks worn as deemed necessary.
