Harry (the client) needed an interior designer to design and manage a full house renovation in North London. He posted his project to Design for Me, we matched him with the best candidates and he received interest from a number of interior designers.
Design for Me job post
Finsbury Park – Interior Designer
Hi, I’m completing the purchase of a five-bed semi in the Brownswood conservation area. It needs re-wiring, new heating etc. So this will mean new floors, walls, ceilings etc. It’s a good opportunity for me to redecorate throughout. I don’t have the time to research/arrange all the flooring, radiators, doors, lights etc and I’d like to work with someone who can help me get a stylish result and take some of the strain from me.

Through Design for Me, Harry narrowed down his search and ultimately found the perfect fit for his project in interior designer, Kim:
Kim, interior designer in North London
I offer a bespoke service for residential renovations, extensions, kitchens, bathrooms and interiors. This can be through project management, consultancy, or design. Each project and customer’s needs are different and the service offered reflects this.
My aim is to take the stress out of your residential project, whether it be a full scale build or help with interiors. I can help with the design of a project, all the way through to helping you choose the right furniture for your new space. Generally, clients use my services when they are time poor or really do not know where to start. My services are bespoke and I can become involved with a project at inception or at a later time.
As a small business, I often only work on one project at a time, thus giving my clients one-on-one attention. I am passionate about creating new or improved space for my clients that really does work from a practical point of view as well as being aesthetically pleasing.
Initial meetings are complimentary.
The result
Kim on the design:
This was a full house renovation, including improving the thermal efficiency of the building. We stripped the house back to its bones – installing new insulation, new glazing, underfloor heating throughout. The house needed to be thermally efficient in order to install an air source heat pump.
Our scope of work included:
- extension design
- kitchen design
- bathroom design
- lighting design
- full internal design fixtures & fittings – flooring, tiling, paint colours – along with some final furniture styling.

A happy client…
HARRY – I consider myself extremely fortunate to have met and hired Kim. I wanted someone who could not just help me design my renovation (complete gutting of a five-bedroom house) but could also project manage it. Kim was able to run the process all the way from contracting the builder to finding art work.
She combines a great eye for detail with tremendous organisational efficiency; at no stage did I ever feel there was a risk of any balls being dropped or that my project was anything other than her main focus.
I was very happy to outsource lots of the stylistic decision making to Kim, but I think she could be equally helpful for someone with a firmer view of what they want. I am extremely happy with the outcome and can’t recommend Kim highly enough.
