07925 480741 www.baileyandcointeriordesign.co.uk Why hire an interior designer? A home is one of the most significant investments you’ll make. A good designer helps you understand how you want to live and makes that vision real – avoiding costly mistakes and creating a home that feels unmistakably like you. What do you specialise in? Homes that are entirely bespoke – shaped by each client’s personality, lifestyle and needs. I take time to understand how a family lives before a single decision is made. No two projects are ever the same. How do you balance style with functionality? Functionality always comes first. Before any aesthetic choices are made, I work through how the space truly needs to perform – the layout, the flow, the way a family moves through their home day to day. I want the homes I design to make my clients’ lives genuinely better, and for them to flourish in those spaces. Once that foundation is right, style becomes the fun part – adding character and personality to a home that already makes perfect sense. Tell us about a creative project you’ve worked on. For two years I’ve been helping my clients transform a former hospital into their family home. It retains all its original features – including an operating theatre! Seeing this endearing building bloom into a warm, characterful home, still providing comfort in a new way, has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my career.
