FAQs

Do you design holiday lets?

Yes. I work with holiday let owners across the Lake District, Cumbria, Lancashire & North Yorkshire to create interiors that are attractive, practical & guest friendly. I can even provide a full turn-key service. A turn-key service means finishing your holiday let so that it is kitted out, right down to the cutlery & glassware, ready to let immediately and start generating revenue for you.

Do you work on small projects?

Yes. I can help with a single room, colour advice, sourcing, styling or a full interior scheme.

Do you source vintage furniture & art?

Yes. Vintage and character pieces are a key part of our work, especially where a property needs warmth, individuality and a sense of place. I have a little black book of contacts and locations to find those special pieces for your project.

Do you just work in the Lake District?

No. I am available for projects across the Lake District, Cumbria, Lancashire & North Yorkshire as well as further afield. Other completed projects include the Cotswolds & Cheshire (Altrincham).

I've never used the services of an Interior Designer before- is it for me?

Considering engaging an Interior Designer can be daunting if you haven't done so before. I offer a free initial consultation to meet, discuss your requirements and there is no obligation to take it further. 

I also offer a one off consultation, payable in advance, to help clients who are buying property & require pre-purchase advice.

Many clients find that engaging an interior designer, particularly at the beginning of a renovation, can be very useful in terms of planning the layout & electrical schemes meaning less, often costly changes needed later on.

Do you offer project management services?

Yes. This is often a good option for second home or holiday let owners who live elsewhere and need someone local to manage their renovation or build.

How much do you charge?

I offer two simple fee options- an hourly rate with a minimum ten hour commitment, or, for larger, more involved projects, a percentage fee of total budget.
