Mood board for the entrance hall and stair well in one of our new build client homes

Calling all hoarders, professional and otherwise, it’s time for a little chat isn’t it? As a semi pro hoarder myself, I get it, it’s hard!

OK, so if the last 12 months has taught us anything about our homes, it is that we need them to work really efficiently, like seriously efficiently!

Have you spent several hours of your evening trawling the internet for just the right light fitting only to find its no longer available? Or when it arrives you realise the quality is poor or it just doesn’t work in your room. Finally ordered some curtains and realised they don’t go with your carpet or your sofa? I feel your pain. Putting together a cohesive look takes time, skill and experience.

Often people assume hiring an interior designer is just for the rich, but it really isn’t. Plenty of cost conscious home owners work with interior designers because they know it can save them time and money.

Many of us now have not just one but two people working from home, maybe even more if you have grown up kids still in the nest. How do you make sure everyone has a decent space to work in? You could build a garden office, or maybe extend your home. If this is not an option right now, then how about getting some efficient space planning and clever storage designed for you?

Good interior design isn’t always about starting with a blank canvas. Work with what you’ve got. My first conversations with clients are all about what they’ve got, what they like, what works and what doesn’t and we go from there.
