Strive For Design
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Colchester.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 April 2020
“I approached Leigh initially for advice and inspiration for a dull and gloomy hallway. She quickly made suggestions for some beautiful console tables, statement mirror and amazing copper lighting. The copper lighting really lifted the whole area and showed off my attic flooring to its best. I was so impressed I asked her to redesign an ensuite bathroom for the guest bedroom. It is now modern, practical and stylish. Some really interesting and different thing that I would never have thought of by myself. The work was completed quickly and to a high standard with no mess or convenience to us. Top class job and looking forward to commissioning another new bathroom soon.”
Daisy Whittaker Designs
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Colchester.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2021
“Having never used an interior designer I didn’t know what to expect but I am delighted I invited Daisy to give me some ideas. Daisy combined everyone’s wishes and must haves for the two rooms with her vision and expertise and created a comfortable bedroom and a functional office. Daisy was easy to communicate with and gave alternative ideas to choose from. Everything was easy to visualise as she created computer generated 3D designs. Most importantly Daisy works within a budget but doesn’t skimp on design.”
Nine Lives
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Colchester.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 February 2024
“Nine Lives and Philippa were wonderful at making my house feel more like a home. We did not live in all of our rooms downstairs as we were not sure how to use them. Philippa came and quickly worked out the best use of space to allow flow in our home. She is great at picking out colours and textures and finds material and wallpaper that I would never have been able to contemplate. Everyone that comes into our home always asks questions about the wallpapers and the fabrics we used. I am really thankful to Philippa for her hard work and attention to detail. We will go back for more advice in the future.”
Caroline Couzens Design Ltd
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Colchester.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 June 2019
“I utilised Caroline’s two hour consultation service (£95) as I desperately needed some advice and ideas for my neglected 1930s hallway. As I don’t live locally, I gave Caroline some ideas and photos via text message about what I liked and didn’t like, my preferred colour palate, and what my priorities were. After some questions from Caroline and some very useful exercises looking at existing spaces and colours, and how we used the hall, she offered some simple solutions which were easily implemented. Simple things like changing the positioning of the existing lighting made a dramatic difference. Caroline then compiled a mood board for me on Pinterest with ideas for paint colours, storage solutions and suggestions for light fittings. She also made recommendations on how I could achieve a modern and coordinated hall that tied in with the existing 1930s features, yet wasn’t overly ‘matchy’. This was complemented with detailed information about sourcing items and recommending paint finishes. Caroline very cleverly sketched her ideas onto my original photo to give me an idea of what my hall could look like. This was really invaluable in helping me ‘see’ my new hall before I started work. I felt that Caroline very quickly ‘got’ what I was after. She was really friendly & approachable, responsive and offered really helpful, practical and straightforward suggestions. She didn’t impose her own tastes and encouraged me to develop my own. Initially I felt that I didn’t really know what I wanted but after conversations with Caroline, I began to gain confidence. I cannot recommend Caroline’s service highly enough. She was great fun to work with and the entire process was really enjoyable.”

“Thank you for your fantastic advice and sourcing of materials in order to hand make custom made cushions for our huge outdoor benches. I loved the tropical print cushions you added to the giant cushions, they really brighten up the garden and give it a summery feel!!!! I highly recommend NB Interiors.”
Alison Anderson Interiors
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Colchester.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 October 2019
“I was lucky enough to discover Alison through instagram and am very pleased to have opted for her 'Helping Hand' design package. We have various storage conundrums and with seemingly infinite ways of solving them (none of which seemed quite ideal) it was incredibly useful to have Alison's experienced, practical and creative ideas to narrow things down. I now feel much braver and look forward to taking the plunge!”
Emilie Fournet Interiors
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Colchester.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 February 2018
“Emilie was brilliant. She did a complete renovation of my Victorian terrace, upstairs and down, including kitchen extension and reviving some original features that had been stripped away. She took my (attempts at explaining) my style and turned it into an actual vision. She gave me solutions to using the space which I had been defeated by and saved me a lot of money on bad furniture decisions. The contractors Emilie brought in were great too. A friendly, hard working team I came to know and like well. Before she got to work, I basically regretted buying my house. The house had so many issues and we didn't have a lot of room in the budget, but she delivered a home I never want to leave. She is very friendly and professional, never lets you feel like you're alone. Highly recommend.”
Studio Fabbri

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 May 2020
“Gemma did an absolutely incredible job with our kitchen. She took such time and care to understand exactly what we were looking for as an end result. We had no previous experience of house renovations and she was wonderful at advising on both overall concepts / ideas, as well as the finer layout and design detail. Couldn't have done it without her. Not only that, but she was lovely to work with.”
Raspberry Interiors

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 March 2015
“Tracey at Raspberry Interiors is friendly and a pleasure to invite into your home. She is really approachable and you feel at ease with her straight away. She comes up with ideas that really work and we never would have thought of ourselves. The end result was better than we could have imagined. The cost that she charges for her ideas is great value for money. She also comes up with different suggestions that are within your budget. We are now onto our third room with Raspberry Interiors and would highly recommend her.”

“Last year I had some time in-between 2 jobs and decided to build something that I always dreamed of - a garden studio. This was quite a challenge but I really enjoyed it. Where I needed help the most was in decorating the finish product. I'm good with a drill, but when it comes to choosing colours, I'm at lost. And Jo came to the rescue! The brief was simple. I wanted a modern urban man cave with plywood and all that cool Shoreditch style. Jo first selected the main colour which is a deep blue, and some amazing William Morris wallpaper. I was a bit sceptical about the latter but the end result is fabulous. She organised some shelvings and storage with oiled OSB doors, suggested leaving the raw plywood flooring and helped me selecting a nice Scandinavian desk. The end result is exactly ... me! Thanks a million Jo for this outstanding help!”

Whether you live is a 10 bedroom bungalow or a 3 bedroom apartment, it will feel like home only when you create a cohesive look that represents your style.

What is the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


Both Colchester, Essex, UK interior professionals are closely related and often mistaken for the same thing, however, there are some significant differences you should be aware of before hiring. An interior designer, also known as an interiors architect, will not only hone your style down to its very essence but will be able to choose a functional layout. All Colchester, Essex, UK interiors designers require specific schooling and formal training. They use their specialised knowledge of interior architecture, building regulations, materials, and furnishings to help you arrive at your dream home design. Interior design companies can come on board during the early stages of construction to plan spaces and room functions down to the last detail, and can help design and renovate interiors and decorate. On the other hand, an interior decorator will typically be involved with the “look and feel” of a space, and won’t be able to assist in renovations that require structural work. Interior decorators in Colchester, Essex, UK normally come on board after all structural work is complete.
