full service interior design
Are you desperate to update a single room in your home, looking to undertake a home improvements project such as a kitchen extension, loft conversion or bathroom redesign, or perhaps about to embark on a whole house renovation?
We offer affordable interior design help to homeowners in Twickenham, Teddington, Hampton, Richmond, Kingston & surrounding areas, turning design dreams into reality and making the home improvements journey a lot less stressful and far more enjoyable.
Our personal end-to-end design & project management service will take you from creative concept through to final installation. Whether you’re looking to outsource the entire project to an independent, trustworthy pair of hands, or would just like some handholding through the process, we can tailor our full service to your brief and budget.
Many of our clients come through personal recommendation, as we have built a reputation for a hands-on, common sense approach and attention to detail.
Every project starts with an on-site meeting with you, the client, to discuss design ideas, talk through specific requirements/limitations or constraints, consider budget and to agree the scope of my brief.
Design concepts and creative ideas are then presented back to you, comprising (by room) proposed layout, colour scheme, lighting plans, floor treatment, window treatment, and design solutions in comprehensive 2-D plans and a 3-D video walk-through.
We can also provide 2D elevations, photo-realistic images of your redesigned space, and bespoke kitchen, bathroom and joinery design.
Once your plans have been signed off we will get your project underway, with you free to dip in and out of progress, or, to opt for scheduled updates, as you wish.
Where work is significant and/or structural, we will engage an architect & surveyors as needed, find a builder, create a detailed schedule of works for builders to quote to, oversee the planning application process and, once plans are approved, coordinate building controls.
We work with a trusted pool of architects, surveyors, builders & tradespeople – plumbers, electricians, decorators, carpenters – or we can work alongside a client’s own build team.

“Anyone can decorate a room but not everyone has Claire’s vision, meticulous execution and attention to detail. She encouraged us to take brave decisions, go beyond our comfort zone and be bold. The room feels cosy, cocooning, elegant and we love it a bit more each time we go in. We’d never have got close to creating a look and feel like this independently - we’re beyond thrilled!””
