WHY COMMISSION ME?

TO HELP CREATE YOUR DREAM ROOM

You Need A Sounding Board

 

If you love interior design, you'll know what you do and don't like. Perhaps you want someone to bounce ideas off. To gain confidence in your decision-making. A pair of ears. A brain to pick. Interior decorating advice on tap. 

 

If interiors aren't your thing and you don't know where to start, I'll help articulate your style. This begins with how you want to feel when you walk into the room.

Decorating your home is deeply personal but can also be a fun & collaborative process. Scroll down for some recent testimonials.

You're

Overwhelmed!

 

So many lovely interior products. But how to curate key pieces that tick all the right boxes? How to choose decorative accents? How to pull it all together?


Honing product choices and assembling a great scheme is what I do. I have an experienced eye for what works. I know the importance of contrast (think scale, style, texture and finish). I understand colour balancing and proportion. I value heritage in tandem with craftsmanship & innovation. And I always keep the bigger picture in mind (while obsessing over the details). So, check out my portfolio!

You're Looking For Creative Solutions

 

To interpret your design brief with a practical head and a creative heart.

That's my job.

Maybe there's a specific problem you need advice on: hiding the TV; maximising daylight; combining design tastes; incorporating different functionalities within a single space; displaying an heirloom; or pairing fabric patterns.

Whatever your goal, whatever the design dilemma, I'll have ideas to tackle them. Find my design services here.

You Want To Discover New Products & Suppliers

 

Between innovative designer pieces and clever high-street steals, a limitless supply of quirky, intriguing homewares awaits. As an avid trade show visitor, vintage fair goer and online shopper, I seek out the brand gems & bring the statement style.

 

Whatever your budget or design preferences (think high-end; on a shoestring; sustainable; family-friendly) I draw on a broad knowledge of suppliers, designer-makers and retailers. I can also commission or liaise with third-party specialists such as fitted furniture makers, upholsterers, soft furnishings makers, lighting designers or art & antique dealers. Send an email or call to discuss a bespoke sourcing package, if you're looking for something in particular.

 

You Want To Avoid Costly Mistakes

 

Design fees are an investment. One that should enhance your home, make the best of its features and stand the test of time. Furnishing a room may involve costly 'big ticket items'. You don't want to get it wrong. My product pricing guides help define your budget. My industry knowledge ensures we source the right pieces. My experience styling & designing room schemes means you'll love the result.

I am Oxfordshire-based and my project focus is West London and the South East. We can also collaborate online. I offer flexible room design packages at affordable, transparent prices. Choose from fixed fees, hourly or discounted day rates and get the right help for your design project. Head to my services page for the bottom line.

KIND WORDS

FROM PROJECTS PAST & PRESENT

'Annabel was refreshingly straightforward and efficient, with an encyclopedic knowledge of colours, wallpapers, fabrics, textures and styles. I needed creative suggestions for my hallway and kitchen-diner. Annabel quickly got on my wavelength and proposed many ideas and combinations on mood boards, a lot of which I implemented directly; her input was key to me achieving the look I wanted.'
