ALEXANDER - Interior Decorator’

Having graduated from the Inchbald School of Design in 1990 I went on to gain valuable experience by serving as an apprentice and design assistant to leading International Decorators such as Christophe Gollut;  Alidad; Hives Partnership,  Bill Bennetti, Tessa Kennedy & Michael Sumner & Michael Priest. From this really good all round experience I branched out on my own in 1994 as an Interior Decorator and bespoke furniture designer, with thanks to my Fathers business support and direction. I install to customers wishes in varied and interesting scenarios, including manufacturing furniture specially for Harrods & Rupert Cavendish Antiques, Interior furnishings to Hotels, Town and Country Houses & Pied `a terres,  all my customers and there beautiful homes are special ‘A’ List clients to me, “I’m sure I can help!”

“I would like to say a really big thank you for the support and direction from these designers I have worked for and for their amazing sense of style, taste,  humour not to mention their  professionalism.”   

My “signature” is to be sensitive to the architectural period and time of a property, helping my clients build up classically understated and warm layered interiors that try not to look designed or "themed" I use different textures, colours and finishes, and fuse this well tested approach together with my clients wishes, a space should allow you to breathe, whilst exuding great warmth, depth and atmosphere. It shouldn’t just be functional but have a soul which is sensitive, poetic and vibrant
