The Design Philosophy

Interior design is the transformation of internal form and structure into balanced and interconnective spaces. A well defined interior showcases practical floor plans, furniture styles, surface materials, colours, textures and lighting. As a pragmatic engineer and creative director, I approach interior information from a unique perspective. Every creative prospect is carefully pared back, analysed and reconstructed into aesthetically beautiful, personalised places where my clients can feel safe, comfortable and proud to call their HOME.

Creating what presents as an amazing space 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 manage a finite budget while upholding design calibre takes experience, foresight, flexibility and collective lateral thinking. Working alongside tradesmen, communicating technical information and keeping tight control on all aspects of a project is not an easy job. As your interior designer, I coordinate the design implementation process with an in-house team of building contractors and craft specialists. We are committed to our work and offer a full year's aftercare support.

“Jo is very solutions focused, a real team player, working well with the construction team, building trust and always being available when needed. Would highly recommend."

Partnering With You

At Design & Conker Interiors we believe in doing things properly. This means working at your pace and within the space to develop a design plan that is specific to you. The journey starts with us 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 builders, budgets, expectations and the next steps forward so you can make informed and confident decisions. 

 As owner and designer, I take great care to maintain a transparent and trusting partnership with my clients. Specialised in high-end Residential Interiors, I create innovative design drawings, procurement specifications and photorealistic CAD images. I also work on and off site alongside builders and contractors to ensure implementations are accurate. Sustainability is paramount at Design & Conker Interiors and, only responsibly sourced furniture, furnishings and equipment are procured. We also like to have a bit of fun, push boundaries and mix things up. When possible, existing pieces are re/upcycled and integrated to further showcase your unique design style and personality.

The comprehensive Interior Design & Project Management is an invaluable service for busy clients who are unable to invest energy and expertise into their projects. The builders and I handle all daily operations including technical decisions and design solutions for unforeseen site issues. To keep in control, I engage only a few large projects simultaneously. I am fully committed to my clients and, readily available for continuous support and design advice - from concept through to installation and completion.
