The one person a Construction Company can't do without!!

My hubby is a Cabinet Maker and just yesterday he returned home completely frustrated.  He had thought he had completed a new kitchen for Langfords Bespoke Cabinet Company, ready for it to be delivered & fitted but unfortunately this was not the case. He had to remake a number of cupboards and change the design of a row of cabinets. 

Long story short, a builder had taken on the design of a kitchen, when similarly to an Architect, he has his own area of expertise in construction.  Now I've worked with a number of amazingly skilled builders in my time but on this occasion he just took on to much. In my husband's case, it has caused delays & misunderstandings.  While the client is left behind. 

Interior designers can compliment a builder, can increase efficiency, and help to delight clients and ultimately that's whatever wants.  

So what happened with the Kitchen that my hubby is working on? Well, I'm sure it will be resolved to a satisfactory outcome, but I just wished that Construction companies would understand the value of interior designers more or just ask our advice.  We are always amenable and delight in being asked our expert advice. 

There is no judgement here, just an interior designer that is willing to help & wants to help. To help shine a light, on your area of expertise as a builder & project manager. 

Remember: Team work makes the dream work.  

I have an understanding of PM & building schedules, so could be a great asset to your team or part of your supply chain. 

Happy to chat it through with you.

A Blog about Blogs

I started this blog back in February, and every week without fail I've shared a blog a week.  It was in the hope that other interior designers, students or home interior lovers found it of use and I thought it would be a great time coming up to the half year point to stop and reflect.  Reflect on what's working, what do you want to read more about or indeed, what I have yet to explore.  As a business owner or freelancer building a following can & does take time & effort and as Country Interior Design by MJ is coming up to our 6 month review it's poignant to pause and check in with ourselves & you the most important aspect as to why we are doing this.  We have been sharing content of inspiration on Facebook and Instagram from the start with a clear weekly schedule: Mondays  Devine or Decadence  Tuesday  History of interior design  Wednesday  Feb 26: Room of Ferial August 26: Shine a light Thursday  Colour Psychology  Frid...

Holiday inspiration for your next interior design project.

This blog is how you could use your holiday as a way of inspiring your next interior design project & on our SM pages recently we had a focus on the Great British Holiday, go take a look at Country Interior Design by MJ Facebook & Instagram accounts to learn more. Each Seaside area of the UK, gives a different feel, be it Blackpool, whereby the bright lights and the Pleasure Beach dominates or right down to the most Southernly tip of Cornwall, whereby a more subtle, relaxed vibe is encapsulated?  I've been working on an interior design project for my portfolio and I read a great book: The English Seaside by Peter Williams. It's a great source of inspiration for a Seaside Interior design style. Whether your looking for a Retro Seaside makeover from yesteryear or you want to recreate your wonderful holiday memories in your home, in a more subtle way? The landscape of a typical resort has changed immensely over the years, however some things remain and can help you with va...
