How we work
We understand the each project is a financial and emotional investment and do everything we can to ensure it's smooth-running, and enjoyable for our clients. The process is an ongoing discussion between between us, and we welcome each client’s involvement, incorporating their ideas to ensure that their project is specially tailored to meet their needs.
Clair meets every client in person and coordinates each project herself with the back up of her team, to ensure that the final outcome fulfils expectations, and of course, finishes on time and within budget.
Design and full service
We can create designs for your spaces which can stand alone, or form the foundations of a full interior design service for the refurbishment that follows, coordinating your project and sourcing the furniture and accessories. We can provide 2D furniture layouts, room elevations, 3D perspective drawings, electrical and lighting plans, colour schemes, samples, and mood boards. Our design services are listed in more detail here.
An initial hour’s consultation is charged at a fixed rate of £75 plus VAT, which is deductible against the design fee when we are appointed to work on your project.
We have also introduced a virtual interior design service .

Clair did an amazing job in giving new life to my garden maisonette in Bath. The result added significant value to the property.

She is hard-working and very pleasant to work with.” Aileen Anderson. Bath

She’s professional and personable, and delivered to brief, on budget, and on time.” Rory Harpur, Crestmore Homes Ltd. Show home design and delivery
I am absolutely delighted with my drawing room redesign and refurbishment. Clair had wonderful vision and came up with an elegant design that transformed the room, incorporating the furniture and ornaments I wanted to keep and cleverly mixing them with new pieces. From providing the beautiful parquet flooring and rug, lighting, furniture, curtains and even a new marble mantlepiece, she ran the project from start to finish which made it such an easy process. We are starting on the next project as soon as we can!” Suzanne Helyar. Bath house drawing room
Working with Clair on two recent Bath projects has been a delight! One of Clair’s key skills is working closely both to the client brief and importantly, the budget. Our two highly successful projects were quite different, interior design for a student flat and a full refurbishment (including new kitchen and bathroom) of a bijoux holiday let house. Both projects exhibited the same traits – fantastic attention to detail, excellent client liaison, and an exciting element of surprise through a deft ability to source furnishings and specify design interiors with flair and style.” Penny Cracknell. Residential refurbishment and boutique holiday let projects
We can’t believe this is our house. And the shelves in the dining room look incredible. We’re so happy!” Jude Hollingsworth. Bath

Proctor + Stevenson is an award winning international brand, marketing and digital communications company. For us undertaking a complete office refurbishment is no small task, particularly when you are taking a tired 1920s industrial unit, try to breathe new life into it whilst ensuring the costs are under control. Keeping the balance between 21st century needs and retaining the character and distinctiveness of its industrial past, is a careful balance of practicality, design and taste. It is not only about creating a wonderful space that people want to work and play in, but is also a manifestation of our brand. “We asked Clair to help us with our vision. Her understanding of space, materials and the practicalities of everyday usage were vital to us. Added to that her excellent design sense added significantly to the design atmosphere of the building. Her instincts and ideas have helped deliver a building that everyone loves to be in, and everyone loves to visit. Without doubt it has transformed our company and the desire of people to work with us.” Roger Proctor, Proctor + Stevenson. Bristol office refurbishment and fit out
