One room interior design & Decoration service

A fully delivered interior design and decoration service for one room, handled from concept through to installation.

Our One Room Interior Design & Decoration service is a fully delivered, on-site service for clients in York, North Yorkshire, who would like to thoughtfully transform one room.

It is ideal for those who want a beautifully finished room - cohesive,

considered and complete, without embarking on a multi-room or whole-home interior design project.

Working within the existing layout of the room, we refine and elevate the elements that shape how it looks and feels, bringing clarity and balance to every visible detail.

This service is centred around one room only.

We develop a clear visual direction and carefully bring together colour, finishes, furnishings and lighting so the space feels calm, intentional and beautifully resolved.

From flooring and wall treatments to window dressings, furniture and decorative lighting, each element is considered as part of a cohesive whole.

We oversee the sourcing and installation of items supplied by us, ensuring the room comes together smoothly and without unnecessary complication.

What does our One Room Interior Design & Decoration service provide?

A note on Trades

Where works require trades, we are happy to recommend trusted professionals.

Clients appoint and manage trades directly, including making appointments and overseeing works. We liaise as needed to support the design intent, but we do not manage or programme trade works.
