Niki Schafer Interior Design

For ten years, it has been a very fun privilege to work in some amazing houses and buildings in the area, helping clients transform their homes into places they love. We believe everyone has their own style and it is our job to discover what will make you excited - the big smile at the sight of a headboard, the ooh and aah at the touch of the fabric, the intake of breath at the potential chandelier. We aim to please, not only with our choices of decor and furniture, but how we handle the whole interior design process.

Updating these key rooms in your home can be daunting. They need to stand the test of time, look fabulous and work like a smooth running machine. No small feat. You want to feel luxurious and comfortable in this space, meaning you want incredibly efficient plus stunning. Sometimes two of you use the bathroom at the same time but protruding elbows or discarded clothes shouldn't be problematic. We've designed bathrooms large and small, traditional and contemporary and our aim is to please the owner, long after the job is finished, when there's a toothbrush charger in the right place and enough light to do what it is you need to do.

We look forward to meeting you and helping you unleash a new identity for your home. Why not take a look through our gallery of recent projects and case studies to get some interior design inspiration for your next project. This questionnaire is designed to better assist our team to achieve your design goals for your home.

Perhaps you've hit a block on colour choices or don't agree about what to do with the long thin living room, maybe you're almost there but need a gentle nod from us to say it's going to be great with a couple of tweaks. Interior design needs confidence after all! We spend an hour or so discussing any dilemmas and creating interior design solutions with you. We give you as much information as we can in that time. There is no obligation to purchase further services, however, if you wish to proceed with our further professional interior design services the consultation fee will be off-set against the design service fee.

Whether you've just moved in, you're extending or you've lived in your home for years, we start with a consultation to find out exactly what you need. From there we can help you with our full interior design service or a smaller project; layouts, colours, fabrics, kitchens or bathrooms. We also specialise in moving families from abroad into the area, ensuring your new home is ready for you. Check out the services we offer below and our useful step by step design flow diagram detailing the steps we take from initial design consultation through to project completion.

Not all projects are from scratch. You may want help with finishing off a room with some gorgeous accessories or artwork. Or maybe you need a few pieces of furniture or lighting in various rooms throughout the house. Understanding your taste is key, so we come to your home to have a look at what is already in place and understand what you feel is missing. We will advise during the consultation and then write up a brief. This could be something you continue with yourself or we could take the sourcing (purchasing and installation) onboard for you.

We offer tailor-made solutions depending on what you need because all houses, clients, contexts and tastes are different. We want to support you in creating your dream home and can work with your architect's plans to help with internal layouts. We can assist you with materials choices and design furniture layout options. We will develop a decorative concept to create a style that works throughout your home, whether you want to include existing furniture or start completely from scratch. You will have your own taste and style and we will bring out the best in that, explaining where things will work, and equally when they won't.
