Which interior design styles can you cater for?
I cater for all styles and if I was to have a preference I would say Arts and Crafts and Art Déco. They are opposite styles as one is functional, whereas the other is decorative and uses lots of very luxurious materials.
What do you love most about your job?
My biggest reward is to have a satisfied and very happy client as a result of achieving what they needed, on time, and on budget.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always had a creative mind and have always been drawn to crafts: I have tried my hand at many things including painting (oil, acrylic, water colour), pottery, mosaic, sewing and of course decorating and DIY.
Why should our clients choose you?
The initial free consultation is an opportunity to meet face to face and to see whether the client and I are a good match to work together. I do my best to put the client at ease by listening carefully to what they need and more importantly how much they want to spend on a project.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can do either depending on the client's preference.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have read the government guidance regarding work visits to people's homes and I have made sure to be prepared for it.
