Why Engage An Interior Designer

  Interior design is the transformation of internal space and architecture into aesthetically balanced and interconnected spaces. A impressive interior showcases a palette of appropriate furniture styles, layout arrangements, surface materials, colours and lighting. As an engineer and interior designer, I approach every project from a pragmatic and pragmatic vantage Design opportunities and interior constraints are mediated into practical, sustainable and beautiful places where clients feel comfortably at HOME.

Designing what looks like an amazing interior is a small part of a very big picture. Knowing what furniture, furnishing and equipment (FF&E) to select, where to procure good quality, sustainable materials and how to balance finite budgets with procurement deliveries requires meticulous 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 designing residential spaces, I offer an inclusive Interior Design & Project Management Service. Every aspect of the project is under my control and guaranteed to complete to quality installation standards.

Our Partnership With You

At Design & Conker Interiors we like to do things properly. This means working at your pace and within your space to develop a very personalised design plan. Our process starts with exploring your thoughts, ideas and wish list to understand what you're hoping to achieve and how we can work together to make these aspirations a reality. We discuss various aspects of the project including resources, budgets, timelines and the next steps forward so you can make the most informed and comfortable decisions. 

 As owner and designer, I take great personal care to uphold a trusting partnership with my clients. The renovation profile, property style and individual expectations are all taken into account before we progress. Specialised in interior conversions and property extensions, I create the specification drawings, technical plans and elevations and photorealistic CAD images. I also work both on and off site alongside builders, suppliers and craftsmen to ensure design implementations are accurate and at installation standards. Sustainability is high on the agenda at Design & Conker Interiors. Responsibly sourced furniture, furnishings and equipment are procured and wherever possible, we upcycle and integrate existing pieces to define your unique design. The Interior Design & Project Management service is an all-inclusive approach where we look after the entire design and build process. This includes handling unforeseen site issues, procurement deliveries, planning permissions and building control sign offs. To keep tight control, only a few large projects are engaged simultaneously. I am fully committed to my clients and therefore, am readily available for ongoing design advice and support.
