In the same way a personal shopper helps you select clothing in styles and colours that suit you, an independent personal interiors shopper does this for your home.

We can enjoy a more personalised and efficient shopping experience together, or I can do it on your behalf, to help you find the perfect products for your home.
This service can be a game-changer as it reduces stress and gives you peace of mind that you are making the right choices for a cohesive, stylish result.
Some clients merely want a second opinion before proceeding with a big ticket purchase like a carpet or tiling, or a new kitchen or bathroom.
Other clients want guidance with more incidental items like wall art, table lighting or decorative accessories.
Pre-Shopping – If you are short of time, I can pre-shop in your absence. I visit a pre-agreed list of showrooms and select products on your behalf. I will then provide you with a list or ask showrooms to set aside samples for you view or borrow at your convenience.
Accompanied Shopping – I particularly like this, as it’s more personal and engaging for the client. I can drive you to showrooms, or meet you there, and then guide you in selecting products.
Virtual Shopping – I will visit showrooms to curate a selection of products and then make a video call to you whilst still at the showroom. Alternatively I can make a video of the choices I have made for you to review at your convenience.

Wall and floor tiles
I use two trusted tiling showrooms on the Island. Although very different to each other, they both offer a wide choice of colours and styles, and budgets too.
Carpets and rugs
The two Island carpet companies I prefer offer a wide range of carpets and stair runners. Choose from from durable natural materials such as sisal, coir, jute, and seagrass, or soft natural wool.
Hard flooring
You cannot beat real wood as a material for flooring. It’s warm and durable, and timeless. I only recommend engineered hardwood floors that are FSC® certified.
Bathrooms & kitchens
There are a number of reputable bathroom and kitchen suppliers on the Island who offer a supply and fit service which I can oversee.
Antique furniture
There are good number of antiques shops on the Island where we can look for interesting pieces for your home. Might be something perfect as it is, or a piece that can be reupholstered or handpainted.
