Design Master Plan in Action
“It Feels Like Someone Else’s House”
Sound familiar? That’s exactly how Rae, a CFO, and Geoff, an R&D Director, felt when they moved into their new home in Chobham, Surrey. As busy professionals working closely with the West Coast, their days were long and demanding. They’d settled into a showhome in a boutique new-build home, but there was one problem—it didn’t feel like their home. It felt like the developer's vision, not their own.
When it comes to luxury interior design in Surrey, creating a home that reflects your personal style and success is all about the details. Rae and Geoff wanted a bespoke solution to bring cohesion and elegance to their beautiful home but they wanted to execute the details together. With a project budget of £5,000 and a house valued at over half a million, this was all about achieving a high-end look with a tailored, professional touch.
Enter: The Design Master Plan!
Rae and Geoff were eager to embrace bold, vibrant colours and infuse their home with personality, but they needed expert guidance to bring their vision to life. My Design Master Plan was the perfect solution. It gave them the freedom to execute the design at their own pace while ensuring every detail was cohesive and reflective of who they are. This bespoke service gave them the confidence to execute the design at their own pace while ensuring every detail was cohesive and uniquely theirs.
The Problem: A Home That Lacked Personality
Their home was well-decorated, but it wasn’t them. It didn’t reflect their tastes or style. They felt overwhelmed by choices, unsure where to start, and unable to see past what was already in place. Like many homeowners, they struggled with decision fatigue and felt unsure where to start or how to make bold choices work harmoniously.
My Solution: A Tailored Master Plan
To fix this, I met Rae and Geoff at their home and worked through their likes, dislikes, and aspirations for the space. A clear theme emerged—bold, vibrant, yet refined—and I used this to create a bespoke Master Plan.
This included:
Furniture placement to optimise flow and functionality.
Clever storage solutions to maximise their space.
A sofa bed that was stylish and practical.
A bold yet cohesive colour palette.
Patterns and textures to add depth and personality.
Where possible, I incorporated items they already had, ensuring the space felt personal and intentional.
Execution: At Their Own Pace
Rae and Geoff were excited to tackle the project themselves. Rae even learned to wallpaper for the first time, exclaiming it was “easier than I thought!” Watching them bring the plan to life was so rewarding—it’s why I love what I do.
The Result: A Home That Feels Like Theirs
By following the Design Master Plan, Rae and Geoff transformed their showhome into a space that truly reflects their personalities and lifestyle. They appreciated the refined touch I brought to the design and enjoyed overseeing the final stages themselves.
