My Story
I graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design and went on to gain my honours degree in Textile Design at Nottingham Trent University. During my career, I’ve worked all around the UK and in various aspects of interior design, using the knowledge and expertise gathered through years of experience to help you achieve your interior design dreams.

Working With Me
First, I will get to know you, through an initial consultation. This meeting is designed to understand your brief, budgets, time scale, and specific design requirements. I will help you realise your unique style, likes, and dislikes, and discover what inspires you, as well as your hopes and aspirations for your space.
Once we have established the look and feel you are hoping to achieve, I can start working on bringing your vision to life! Based on a collaborative concept mood board, we will progress to a detailed mood board for each area. This will involve looking at inspiring colours, fixtures, fittings, and fabrics based on the latest and best interior design trends.
After producing layout plans and procuring, storing, and delivering all the items needed for your project, I will arrange and style it for you! I can also source specialist contractors and trades where required, manage everyone throughout the renovation, and liaise with Building Control to ensure a premium finish is achieved.
For a detailed breakdown of a typical project structure, including fees and scheduling, please refer to the provided PDF.
“We used A Box of Tricks and had a lovely experience. Can’t wait to do our lounge to the design that Elaine came up with. Thank you!”

Discover Your Style
Your home should reflect your unique personality and style.
Modern, contemporary, shabby chic, traditional, minimalist… the list goes on, and new design trends are constantly evolving in the interior design world.
By working with me, you will learn how to combine style elements that you love to create your own individual style that will be reflected in your home. I will help you make best use of the space you have available, using colour, lighting, furniture and accessories to design and create the home of your dreams.
“We were a little nervous about using an interior designer as we hadn’t done anything like this before and had no real idea what to expect. That all changed as soon as we met Elaine, who is incredibly warm and friendly, and very quickly put us at ease. She listened carefully to our vague and confused ideas, and asked plenty of questions to establish both our taste and the utility we wanted from the room. We never felt that Elaine pushed her own ideas but very quickly realised that she was exceptional at what she does, and so from an early stage, had a very high level of trust and confidence in her.”
