Architect or Interior Designer?
You might be wondering, do I need an architect or interior designer? In summary, you could break it down in the following way:
Outer shell of the building / external walls: Architect / architectural technician or technologist
Interior finishes, furniture or fabrics: Interior designer
Interior architecture – which represents a very broad range – could be done by either architects or interior designers, but it will ultimately come down to their individual expertise and experience.

5. Maria
Interior designer – East Sussex
(click on her name above to view her full profile and shortlist her for your project)
Hi there! I’m Maria, an interior architect based in East Sussex. I love what I do, from meeting new clients, establishing the brief, finding solutions, being on a building site, meeting trades, even negotiating my way through a challenge. I’ve always said a good designer is a primarily a problem solver and after 16 years of being a designer that is something I have come to do very well. During this time I have worked on projects ranging from large scale residential re designs to individual room designs.
My design journey all those years ago started with bathroom and kitchen design. However these days most projects I take on are more than one room, as one room typically speaks to another so I feel it important to see that area as a whole. My interest isn’t just to create a pretty space but an organised, cohesive home that is balanced and calm. My focus is never on a particular style, I let you, the end user dictate that, my general approach is to create a timeless space that evokes warmth and comfort through great craftsmanship, well curated furnishings and art work that compliment the space.
