VISUALISING THE DESIGN

Our drawings are not simply technical documents, they are a way of understanding and refining your vision. We begin by listening carefully to how you want the space to feel and function, then translate those ideas into clear, considered visuals that bring your thoughts into focus. From early sketches to detailed technical drawings, each stage evolves through discussion and feedback, allowing you to shape and guide the direction with confidence. By communicating proportion, layout and materiality with precision, the drawings create a shared reference point for you, contractors and consultants, ensuring the design moves smoothly from concept to construction and that the finished result remains true to your original vision.

The Stories Behind Our Spaces

Clare has worked with us on various projects now over the last 3 years, which includes a selection of new homes, 9 in total. I have seen the process from a commercial aspect as well as on a personal level as she was integral to the design team of our new family home. The process is effortless, from initial meeting to agree the brief, to follow up phone calls and site meetings, the package is always tailored to what we require, which we often need as no 2 houses we build are the same. Clare’s attention to detail is exceptional, being able to draw on CAD is also such a benefit, including drawing detailed fittings themselves whatever the product. I would certainly recommend Clare Norrish whatever the project size or scope, whether a large bespoke private residence, or a small Cul-de-sac of 3 bed houses, even just a re design of an existing house, whether that be a few rooms or the whole property

MD – Bentier Homes Ltd (Developer)

Clare was meticulous in the detail of her drawings and plans. She introduced so many great features that we would not have had without her input. Our internal space is so much better due to her input. Many thanks.

I’ve worked with the team at Clare Norrish Interior Design for almost a decade now, their attention to detail is second to none, exceeding clients’ expectations every time! There is a thought process at every stage from initial concept to fabrication, they have always delivered on time and to budget. Creativity, professionalism and client satisfaction are the core values and a promise that is always fulfilled.

Joinery Specialist

Working with Clare on our new build made what could have been a stressful experience much more relaxed. She came up with options that have given all the rooms a unique feel but that link and flow into each other; matching our often-tricky brief of traditional elements within a new build environment. She really listened in terms of feedback on ideas and budget, coming up with creative ways to solve issues that arose. She was also very professional in our day-to-day dealings with her, efficient in getting back to us, chasing down external suppliers and her attention to detail was spot on.

Rachel
Private Client

We are so pleased with our new lounge and dining room. Both rooms look amazing with bespoke furniture, handmade curtains and cushions using fabrics, colours and wallpapers we would never have found otherwise. Our family and friends are all very impressed. I’m particularly pleased that several months later, it is all still looking beautiful and brand new despite it being a real home with pets and children. Thank you, Clare, for helping us create elegant yet practical rooms.

Linsey
Private Client

Throughout our 40-year history as building contractors, we have collaborated with numerous interior designers. Clare Norrish Interior Design stands out among them, having partnered with us on six projects. Their professionalism and technical expertise are unparalleled. Their designs are consistently fresh, current, and meticulously planned to ensure technical feasibility. We wholeheartedly recommend CNID to any future clients and frequently suggest them when our clients seek recommendations.

Stanley Leask
Commercial Director – Thames & Newcastle (Contractor)

This was our first major refurbishment, and despite all our preparation, all the usual clichés about builders, architects, and rising costs sadly proved true — except in Clare’s case. She genuinely partnered with us throughout the process and was exceptional. Clare is truly worth her weight in gold.
