Starting a design project when the foundations have yet to be poured can be a challenge in itself. My clients had spent years searching for the perfect plot of land in the idyllic setting of Cobham to build their dream home. Their vision was to harmonise the interior with the meticulously crafted modern exterior envisioned by the architects.

Immersed in every detail of a new build home

Joining this project from the very beginning allowed me to immerse myself in the home's potential and orchestrate every detail from the ground up. New build interior design has its own particular challenges amongst the freedom of starting with a near-blank canvas.

From the intricacies of lighting design, room layouts, and bathroom aesthetics to the finesse of joinery and the kitchen design’s functionality, I collaborated closely with my clients to ensure that every nook and cranny was thoughtfully considered.

The spacious house boasts an impressive layout featuring:

four bedrooms
four bathrooms
a playroom
two studies
a family room
a formal sitting room,
a spacious kitchen and dining area
a utility room
a boot room
a downstairs WC
a cloakroom
an inviting entrance hallway.

Creating a contemporary aesthetic

The challenge was creating a cohesive design for the whole house while ensuring each space retained its unique functionality and character. My clients were open to starting anew, but I was passionate about incorporating their existing art, which held sentimental value. Drawing inspiration from their art collection, we designed many rooms, pulling colours and textures to create a contemporary aesthetic.

Each bathroom was meticulously crafted, and I oversaw the design, ensuring a clean and fresh look that offered practical storage solutions and added character and colour to the space, seamlessly blending with the overall design.

Collaborating with professionals and trades for an exceptional new build interior design

Despite the size of this new build home interior design project, I was lucky enough to have 2.5 years to focus on each room individually while maintaining the essential perspective on the modern and cohesive design throughout the home.

Collaborating closely with architects, contractors, builders, and trade was crucial to realising my vision for this home. Their dedication and expertise were instrumental in bringing this project to life, and I am grateful for their contributions to making this dream home a reality for my clients .
