"What qualifications & standards do we offer?"
"What about budgets & timescales?"

Jean Gilmour has an interior design degree from Chicago, USA, over 20 years' experience in the interior design business & has worked in USA, UK & Europe.

Design Concepts holds accounts with all the top London interior design showrooms - Colefax & Fowler, Zoffany, Osborne & Little, Pierre Frey, Designer's Guild, Zimmer Rohde, Sahco Hesslein, Bella Figura, Porta Romana, Interdesign UK, Kingcome Sofas, etc.

The majority of our work is through personal recommendation & repeat business from clients. The variety is immense - main residences & second homes in UK town & country, city pied-à-terre apartments & European second homes.

We are only interested in high standards of workmanship, quality of goods & excellent service to our clients.

Budgets - estimates are prepared for all items selected by the client & the labour costs for each brief & then amended as required to comply with the client's budget before any orders are placed or labour organised.

Commencement & Completion Dates - we liaise with each client to discuss a suitable commencement date & then, having looked at the timescale required for the complexity of each brief, we agree a completion date.

Ordering of all items, organisation of the labour force & daily, on site supervision are critical factors to achieve the completion date & we really do "pull out all the stops" to complete on time.

Customer quote: "We felt totally involved in all the choices for all the main items in our house, enjoyed the structured day in London sitting on sofas, toilets, checking out showers, looking at lightfittings & even happier to leave you & your team to deal with the boring nitty-gritty details of the refurbishment. Great end result & on time."
