Interior Design Service

based in Bournemouth

I am constantly inspired by well-designed spaces, and the emotional connection they evoke in me ignites my passion for interior design.

At SJF Interior Design, we work with you to help create your own happy spaces in which to live, work or play.

Susannah, Founder of SJF Interior Design

What we do for you

We offer a design service for clients who need someone to support them through the process of redesigning their chosen space and all the decisions that come with this.

The possibilities are endless, there are so many options and it can be a time consuming process; we will help you to hone ideas by designing a concept for the space using mood boards, floor plan layouts and visuals. We will then take the strain out of achieving the dream by sourcing furniture, paints, fabrics, decor…and supplying technical drawings for tradespeople.

Client Comments

“We found Susannah’s design process to be an invaluable experience. From consultation to final sketch design, Susannah listened carefully to our desired outcome and knew just how to achieve the most wonderful result for a peaceful and relaxing space. She gave us confidence to use colours that we may not have considered, and our colour-drenched room looks fantastic. We can highly recommend Susannah for any project.”

“We are delighted with the designs and ideas you had for our space, we would never have come up with them ourselves.”

We can work with a blank canvas, or explore how we can incorporate your existing furniture and accessories into your redesigned space.

We manage projects locally with face-to-face visits or remotely by phone, video call and email. Once you’ve made an enquiry, we can arrange an initial consultation to discuss your project. A 60-90 minute consultation costs £40 and this includes a friendly discussion about your design requirements and learning more about how your space needs to work for you both aesthetically and practically. We use our client questionnaire to get the most out of the meeting. We will also discuss initial style ideas, colour schemes and suggested layout for your space where appropriate.

Following this, we will provide a quote for the services you require. The services we offer are broken down into stages. Depending on your needs, you can opt for Stage 1 on its own, Stage 1 and 2 together, or our full design service Stage 1, 2 and 3. Stage 1 prices start from £250, but will vary depending on size and scope of the project.

The initial consultation fee will not be chargeable if you choose to proceed with us.

Make it happen

Living on the South Coast, I can’t help but get excited by the colours and textures of the surrounding area. Getting outdoors is always an inspiration for me when designing interior spaces, from using nature’s colour palette as a starting point to sourcing natural materials.

My passion for interiors developed while living in London, when visiting and experiencing a variety of beautiful interior spaces (coffee shops, hotels, museums, heritage sites, visitor centres) made me repeatedly ask ‘why does this space make me feel this way?’ I would analyse the individual elements of the space and how they worked together. I like to approach the design process in this way too, in order to make tailored, considered and harmonious schemes. I’ve retrained and have turned my interest into my career.
