I’m a down-to-earth interior designer working in the West Sussex and Surrey area
I am passionate about creating design schemes that excite and delight my clients. I listen carefully to your wants and needs for a space and put together design schemes that reflect your preferred design style and capture the essence of how you want to live in your home. I naturally create designs that are sympathetic to the character of your house and help you to live better in your home.

Interior Design Service Process
Step 1 – Initial meeting
At this initial one hour meeting I will start to get to know you as you describe how you’d like your room to look and feel. If you can describe your preferred design style, that’s great. If you have any photos or pins to share with me that will be useful. If not, don’t worry, our discussion will help inform me when I come to the design. I will take some photos of the space, and perhaps measurements too.
Step 2 – Proposal
Within 2 days I will respond with a proposal which will include the scope of work and my fee. The proposal also includes an initial thoughts mood board to check we are aligned on the overall look and feel of the design.
Step 3 – Design Presentation
Within 2-3 weeks I will return to present my design scheme, with samples of materials as appropriate. We will discuss the design together and I will follow up on any amends you would like to make. We will continue to refine the design until you are happy with the final scheme.
Step 4 – Specification Sheets
Next I will draw up specification sheets for the design scheme. The sheets include all the details of each element of the design. These
form a brief for the installation of the scheme. If required I will also draw up visual briefs for fitters e.g. for bathrooms or utility rooms.
Step 5 – Installation
If you would like me to project management the installation of
your design, I can facilitate this with the trusted trades I regularly use. I charge a project management fee of £250 per trade which covers my time to brief them, check on the installation and ensure you are happy with the end result.
Step 6 – The End Result
I hope that the end result of your design scheme installation will
exceed your expectations. I will photograph your finished room/s
and ask for feedback on my service. You will be all set to start enjoying your new space!
Let’s design a beautiful home for you!
