The team have been creating interior design schemes for more than 10 years for both private and commercial clients. Whilst most of the studio’s projects are in the South East of England, it has had clients further afield in Europe, the Caribbean and Middle East. These include everything from listed properties to new builds. The company’s designs are always bespoke as each client and their property is unique.

The services the team offers range from a comprehensive design for the client for them to then implement through to complete project management. The studio has access to many trusted trades, and it can also work with the clients appointed installation team too.

The team believes that the emphasis should be on the design and planning stage to help all those involved in realising the vision, to understand the objectives and limit, as far as possible, any unwelcome and expensive surprises.

As a small team, each individual brings their own strengths and experiences to the projects that they accept. Design by Deborah wants to give its clients the very best experience, so it restricts the number of projects it takes on at any one time. The team always offers the initial consultation free of charge as it is important for both parties to fully understand the brief and feel happy that a good working relationship can be developed.
