About Us

Best of Houzz 2016-2023 Helen and the team at Coral Interiors offer an approachable, friendly and hopefully fun partnership with our clients. *Residential Interiors* Whether you're building, renovating, or refreshing your decor, our award-winning team will help you create a home that is a reflection of your lifestyle and aspirations. We take time to really listen to you, uncover your tastes and desires and then create a scheme a little beyond what you may have come up with yourself. Sure, this may involve a little nudging from the safety of their comfort zone, but we know good design needs to elicit a 'wow' and that may mean more colour, pattern and texture than you may be used to. Clients often come to us overwhelmed with options and planning or simply too busy to even think about making changes in their home. As we all know, life can get in the way and redecorating the front room, or planning the extension gets put off. We can help you achieve your dreams to a deadline and a budget, giving you more time to relax and enjoy your space. Using an interior designer can also avoid making costly mistakes. We use 3D visuals and renderings along with sample boards to allow you to really see the scheme as a whole allowing you to make informed decisions, before you make a single purchase. *Show Homes and Home Staging* As well as private homes, we also offer show home installation for property developers. Prospective buyers generally struggle to see themselves in an empty property and no matter how big it is, or how great the views, it's hard to elicit that emotional response without a welcoming, aspirational interior. *Holiday homes and Airbnb Design* We also specialise in fitting out luxury Airbnbs and holiday lets with enticing but robust interiors. It all starts with an initial chat on the phone and the all-important Coral Interiors questionnaire - from there we can offer you anything from a one-off consultation to full service design and project management. Based in Dorset, but serving the South, Midlands and London, give us a call or send us a message to see how we can help.

We used Coral Interiors to dress our holiday home in Dorset. From our first meeting Helen and her team had their fingers on the pulse and delivered a home we absolutely love. Our rental guests also regularly leave guest book comments on how beautiful the house looks. We could never have achieved anything like the same outcome doing it ourselves and are delighted that we made the investment in Coral Interiors who made the whole process completely stress free. It was definitely money well spent and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending. Keep up the good work Helen

Having known Helen for a few years now, I am always amazed at how she can totally transform a space. Not only on time, but within budget. Her team are friendly and knowledgeable and no question I ask ever feels stupid. Totally professional but friendly enough to be a joy to work with, can highly recommend!

I engaged Helen at Coral Interiors to stage my W. Sussex house for sale and am so glad I did! In the current property market I was worried my unoccupied house would be hard to sell as there were a few similar houses in the area that I was competing with. Helen explained that staging with furniture and decorative touches helps buyers fall in love with a house - and that was certainly the case for my house. I can see that the other 'non-staged' houses in my area are still not under offer. Highly recommend investing in home staging with Coral Interiors - very clear return on investment!

We were considering a project that was too daunting for us to tackle by ourselves and so considered using an interior designer, not something we’ve done before. I liked what I saw on Helen’s website and we started with an initial video call where I decided that I could work with Helen. In a subsequent call we discussed what we wanted from the project and our general likes and dislikes. Prompted by Helen’s questions, we were able to better define our needs and wants. Following on from this, Helen provided some designs and mood boards, including fabric, paint, tile and carpet samples. Helen was very responsive to our questions and requests for changes as our ideas developed. Finally, we decided to ask Helen to project manage the work - our best decision yet! We provided a budget and Helen suggested some people to do the work. We met with the tradesmen (I hesitate to call them by that name because they were so much more than that) and chose who we wanted to do the work in our timescales. We fine-tuned our project as it progressed. Helen was very easy to work with but always very professional. In the end, we actually extended the project because it made sense to get more work done while the workmen were on site. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled we were with the final outcome. It has exceeded our expectations! Helen’s attention to detail is second to none and we just love spending time in our new rooms. From our experience, I can’t recommend Helen and her team enough. They made a daunting project for us happen smoothly and efficiently while making us feel valued and, yes, cossetted.

Thanks so much for your review, Trisha, it was an absolute treat to work with you both on your flat (and I'm so glad you felt cossetted)!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Helen to bring to life her designs on a recent project in Lyme Regis. She is a truly talented designer and the client was thrilled with the results of our collaboration. We carried out a sympathetic renovation, working within the constraints appropriate to a listed period property, to bring warmth and flair to a much-loved home. Helen is an excellent communicator and we were able to address any issues quickly and easily. Our local trades and suppliers pulled out all the stops to ensure that the project was finished to an extremely high standard. I’d welcome the chance to work with Helen again in future.

Thanks so much, Beverley, look forward to working with you in future.

I recently moved to a 2 bed flat, which needed a complete refurbishment and replacement shower room. A Google search brought Coral Interiors to my attention and I am so glad I made contact and Helen Winter came to see me. I was immediately struck by her ability to completely understand the vibe/theme that I wanted to create and her brilliant ideas and creative flair have ensured that I am beyond delighted with the outcome. She brought several materials for soft furnishings, paint charts and samples of carpet so we could actually choose, in different lights, the palette that would bring the flat back to life. For the shower room, she came with me to choose everything - the shower, flooring, tiles etc. and arranged and project managed the whole installation. She organised the soft furnishing company, the painters and decorators and the carpet layers and was excellent at coordinating and keeping everybody in the loop. The whole process ran so smoothly and took all the worry and concerns completely off my shoulders. The project came in on time and under budget. Helen is a warm, empathetic and exceptionally professional person, who clearly loves her work. It was a joy to work with her and I would thoroughly recommend her and her Company. Gilly. Poole.

Coral Interiors really enhanced the charm and character of our listed cottage in Lyme Regis. We are absolutely delighted with the end result - it exceeded our expectations and the team were helpful, professional and on budget! I am more than happy to recommend them to anyone looking for creative inspiration and top quality service.

We worked with Helen to furnish a new-build holiday apartment for my parents, and could not have been more impressed. From the outset, Helen was meticulously organised, professional and totally responsive. My mum hadn't worked with an interior designer before and was frankly a little nervous about the process, but Helen put her at ease, and immediately understood the vision that my mum had and how to translate that into a totally cohesive design throughout the apartment. Helen suggested fantastic ideas and fabrics, gently challenged where necessary, and importantly always kept in mind the practicalities and the affordability of her suggestions. Having Helen on board also meant that all the logistical issues of trying to furnish an apartment over 100 miles from home were taken care of seamlessly. She liaised with the builders onsite where necessary, co-ordinated all other suppliers, coped admirably with issues on timelines, and always kept us up to date throughout the project. My parents and I are delighted with the final result, and my mum said that it was "even better than she'd hoped for!". We are really grateful to Helen and her team for all that they have done to not only create a fabulous interior, but to also make it an enjoyable and stress-free process. I'd recommend Helen's services without hesitation.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Wishing you all many happy years in the new apartment!

We never considered ourselves the kind of people to use interior designers but a house move to a new area seemed like the time to try! Helen was amazing at working with our existing furniture and fittings and our limited budget to give us a home which is comfortable and welcoming and which reflects our style and interests. She came up with so many simple suggestions for working with what we already had which would never have occurred to us and likewise her guidance on new purchases and fabrics were spot on and saved us hours of trawling around websites confusing ourselves! We would highly recommend and will definitely use her service again if we ever move.

We appointed Helen to design and project manage our holiday flat refurbishment. It was a wonderful stress-free and pleasant experience as Helen really listened to what we wanted and then took us out our comfort zone and offered a style and ideas we wouldn’t normally have been brave enough to embrace. She was organised and hardworking too, co-ordinating everything and ended up creating something really special. For busy people like us it was a dream and definitely value for money. We would have no hesitation in recommending Helen.

We worked with Helen and her team on our first holiday house and now on our second one. Helen has really good practical and imaginative ideas - whilst adapting to our requirements and ideas. Really good input to our themes and giving direction when needed. Really recommend.. Chris

Helen at Coral Interiors really helped us when we became daunted by all the design decisions in our new-build house. We didn’t want to make expensive mistakes and Helen was able to clarify what we needed and encouraged us to be braver with our colour choices. She was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad we used Coral Interiors and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in future.
