Profile

Katy Graham / Interiorbeing Ltd

Katy Graham is Managing Director of the acclaimed interior design practice, Interiorbeing Ltd., that provides a comprehensive interior design service to both commercial and private clients.

Along with her business partner, Janice Storey, Katy works both in the UK and internationally and has built up an impressive portfolio which includes hotels, offices, commercial and residential commissions.

They do not believe in offering a generic 'one size fits all' design solution, and will not impose any preconceived ideas or styles, preferring to work closely with their clients to create unique interiors that reflect their individual brief and budget. Katy's ethos is that design must be as practical as it is beautiful. She believes that an integral part of the design process is to obtain as detailed a specification as possible from the client, which sets out all of their expectations and requirements for the project. She then approaches every project with a view to exceeding those expectations.

Interiorbeing works with a close team of architects, contractors and specialist suppliers. Over the years Katy has established strong working relationships with a broad range of skilled and talented craftspeople, enabling her to commission bespoke cabinetry, furniture, soft furnishings and artworks which are both unique and of the highest quality.

Projects vary from providing initial design concepts, through to complete architectural renovation and refurbishment. Services include:

*Residential Commissions: from a room by room revamp of existing interiors - kitchens, bathrooms, colours, fabrics, lighting and furniture - to a comprehensive re-design of the entire property. Katy has a wealth of experience both in working alongside English Heritage on the renovation of Listed Buildings as well as on new build projects.

* Commercial Commissions: co-ordinating everything from initial design concepts through to final fit out. Interiorbeing creates Interiors that reflect and enhance their clients' corporate identity.

*Hotels, Clubs and Restaurants: working with clients to produce unique interiors, on time, and on budget. Developing designs that enhance the clients brand values and customer experience

*Show Homes: Interiorbeing offers both commercial and private developers a competitive, reliable and fast service, furnishing show homes to achieve a speedier, more profitable sale.

*Public Sector: working with Housing Associations and Social Investment Agencies, Katy is committed to creating positive change, through innovative design, within local communities.
