An interior designer can create indoor spaces that embrace both form and functionality. They work on projects that vary in scale and budget, designing interior spaces for new buildings, retail outlets, public buildings and offices, as well as refurbishing existing areas. They also undertake bespoke projects for residential interiors, focusing on singular spaces or whole property transformations.

If you are wanting to transform or renovate your property, or simply looking to utilise every centimetre of space in your home, interior design should be something for consideration. An interior designer has a trained eye and can provide a professional approach, whilst having a wide availability of resources and contacts on hand.
