Our bespoke interior Design Services
OUR APPROACH
We are an interior architecture and design business. No matter the scale or scope, we offer a tailor-made end to end design and installation service. We typically work with clients at an early stage, enabling you to realise the full potential of your home from start to finish without compromise. We offer hands on involvement throughout every stage of your project from the architectural phase through to the interior design, renovation works, installation and styling.
-
We look to develop strong relationships from the outset, ensuring we understand you, your home, and your goals. We review the feasibility of options with you, collaborating with architects and builders as relevant. We help untangle the complexity of renovation projects, providing insights and options for maximising your investment and the potential of your home.
We use spatial planning to reshape homes and to bring flow, light and cohesion to a space. We consider interior architectural details from an early stage, ensuring we maintain authenticity and integrity throughout the house. We produce dimensioned, scaled floorplans and elevations including all relevant architectural, lighting, and electrical details.
We produce design concepts including imagery of colour palette, style, furniture, lighting, textiles, and joinery for each space. We collaborate with you to review and develop these ideas, agreeing final concepts that serve as a roadmap for the rest of the design.
-
We specify all furniture, fittings, furnishings, and finishes, presenting sample trays for each room including all interior elements, for example: hard/soft finishes, lighting, hardware, wall coverings, paint, fabrics, and upholstery. We produce detailed drawings of bespoke items and joinery. We specify and present all agreed art and accessories. We produce a full breakdown for all furniture, fittings, and equipment in line with the agreed budget for sign off.
-
We work together with the construction team and relevant tradespeople throughout the works to ensure the project runs seamlessly. We manage contracts with key suppliers, ensuring the purchasing and delivery of all items to site as required. We keep you updated throughout, giving you peace of mind throughout the project
-
Once the works are complete, we install all furniture and finishes, styling the space with artwork and accessories.
TESTIMONIALS
“I was recommended Ivy though a mutual contact who had seen Kathryn’s work and knew we would get on - she wasn’t wrong! From the outset Kath knew that both my husband and I had busy jobs and taking on the renovation of a holiday cottage in Norfolk meant we needed guiding through how to best use the space within a set budget and minimal investment of time on our accounts which Kath delivered on exceptionally well.
From the concept design phase through to project management and final installation and styling Kath just understood how to turn a shell of a 17th century cottage into what can only be described as a stunning home. We’ve never worked with an interior designer before but the experience has been nothing short of outstanding, with Kath an excellent communicator, coach and designer. Her knack of thinking outside of the box to achieve what we could have only dreamt of doing ourselves meant taking all the stress out of undertaking such a project as we did. I can’t recommend working with her enough. On a scale of 1-10 : TEN!!! Honestly, I can’t think of any constructive feedback as you just made it a complete joy and it was worth every penny for us. I actually miss seeing you!”
“We decided that we needed to use an interior designer once our architectural plans were being drawn up and we’d seen some of Ivy Lane’s work prior to contacting them. As soon as we sat down with Kath and talked about what we wanted from our home, she devised some ideas and we knew instantly she was right for us. Kath is extremely methodical, precise and her attention to detail is second to none. Doing any house renovation can be very stressful but Kath’s nature is very calming, professional and nothing seemed to faze her. I very much wanted to be part of the decision making process and Kath made sure to include me in everything. We are over the moon with the design of our home now. I walk down the stairs every morning and get such a proud feeling to call this our home and this is all thanks to Kath. She is an absolute joy to work with and I would highly recommend her to others. Going forward would always use Ivy Lane for future projects.“
“We want to thank you so very much for transforming our house into a home. Your attention to detail, your ability to translate a brief into something really special, and your calm and well thought through process is amazing. You have such a talent and we feel so lucky that you wanted to work with us. We will be forever grateful and here’s to the next project!”
“Ivy Lane did an amazing job for us. Kath worked closely with us to help develop layouts, choose furniture, materials, rugs, lamps, curtains/blinds, etc. She made what would have been a very complicated process incredibly simple for us and took away all the stresses that would have come with it. They opened my eyes up to many new ideas and concepts, that I would never have thought of or considered. The end result was just perfect and they captured our complicated brief with everything we were after.”
“We were delighted with our new kitchen and utility room. From start to finish Kathryn listened to our ideas and needs. The finished product was better than we’d ever dreamed of. Our kitchen is now truly the heart of our home which is what we’d always wanted. We would highly recommend Ivy Lane Interiors for your projects and would definitely use them again.”
