Design & Conker Interiors
Transforming Beautiful Concepts
Design Consultancy
If you already have design drawings and would like to discuss alternative ideas or layouts, I can help you. Making small but significant changes to the location of windows, doors and stud walls can improve the overall functionality of your interior. Together we explore how to introduce the right balance of interesting textures, luxurious fabrics, lighting and colours to inexpensively transform the visual impact of your room. We can also get technical with new layout plans, surface materials - floors, walls, worktops and other architectural detailing. The Consultancy Service is designed to work for you. We take as long as you need to feel comfortable and ready. Knowing what to do with your interior, whether it's small, large or quirky and, how to incorporate the most appropriate and sparking design elements, if done properly, can produce amazing spaces.
The Design Consultancy Service can be conducted via video or in-person. Fees are chargeable at £250 for the first hour and £150 p/h onwards, half day or full day rates.
Interior Design
Without sounding cliché, you do get what you pay for. It is worth investing in a professional interior designer who knows how to best represent your personality and style.
Regardless of the budget or project size, I focus on reworking the existing interior data to take advantage of every design opportunity. Spaces are measured and designed as CAD drawings and photorealistic visuals. These detailed proposals are accompanied by a list of recommended furniture, furnishings and equipment. I also create bespoke, user-friendly interiors for people with special needs including restrictive mobility and neurological conditions. Primarily, these spaces are safe underfoot and facilitate easy navigation for aided walking and wheelchair access. Using stylish, contemporary products these interiors are beautifully finished and appear no different from any other. As a designer with a conscious bias to inclusivity, I ensure every client experiences a sense of luxury, wellbeing and modern, independent living in the place they call HOME.
Project Management
Managing any Design & Build Project is not for the faint hearted. There are multiple reins to coordinate simultaneously including scheduling procurement deliveries, resolving ongoing daily issues and maintaining effective communications across all teams to keep with design specifications and phase completion timelines. This requires hands-on experience, precision management and steely diplomacy to provide clear directives to a wide cross section of tradesmen. If you don't have the time or capacity to deal with this I can handle the project for you. I'm available to the contractors, builders and trade specialists to provide design advice, technical support and updated drawings due to unforeseen / changing conditions. Working alongside my (or your) installers we deal with those daily complications, on and off site, to provide quick, realistic solutions. With the Interior Design & Project Management service we work as an in-house unit to look after every aspect of the project. You can simply hand over the keys (or pop in from time to time) and return to your beautiful home at our contracted date. We are committed to our partnership and offer clients a complimentary one year aftercare service.
Every renovation project is unique and fees are calculated specific to your service requirements. As a guide, design project management fees can be 15-20% of the budget. Get in touch for more information.
