British Institute of Interior Design

Profile

John Smith / Individual Interior Design

As an interior designer, with over 20 years experience and part of a great team covering all areas of interior design and project management for 3 retail outlets in the South of England. From these showrooms I have a comprehensive range of over 3000 pattern books and an extensive directory of trades' people, enabling me to suit all budgets.

Past projects include manor houses, contemporary, modern, period and art deco houses and apartments, private hospitals and hotels.

With the resources of our three showrooms,  I can offer a very comprehensive design service, total project management, sourcing tradesmen, furniture and accessories and complete soft furnishings. We have our own workrooms with a team of 8, experienced in all aspects of soft furnishings, this enables me to design and produce specific window treatments, cushions, headboards and bed treatments. I also, through knowledge of specialist tradesmen, design bespoke furniture specifically for the individual client.

Whilst I enjoy every style of interior design, traditional and contemporary, domestic and commercial, I specialise in the refurbishment of period and historic properties. It is important to consult with my client to ascertain their desires and aspirations to achieve a scheme that is practical but sympathetic with the architecture and period of the house.

My career has given me some exciting projects locally in the Bournemouth, Dorset and New Forest areas then much further a field in London,  The Midlands, Devon and Cornwall. Individually and as a company have undertaken many contracts outside the United Kingdom.
