About Coral Interiors
Coral Interiors is an interior design studio in Bournemouth, run by Helen Winter. We help homeowners and holiday let owners across Dorset and the New Forest, and we’ve designed 200+ rooms over more than a decade.
Who do we help?
We’re an interior design studio in Bournemouth, and we help homeowners and holiday let owners across Dorset and the New Forest. We work on everything from period homes to new builds, with a particular love of coastal homes.
Homeowners
Perhaps your home has gone a bit tired and dated, and it feels flat. You’d like to change it, but you can’t quite picture the result, or settle on one overall look and feel.
That’s where we come in. We help you create a home that is considered, beautiful and practical, and works for the way your family lives. You’ll see it in 3D, look at all the samples together and get a clear view of costs and the overall plan before you buy anything.
Our homeowners tell us they love coming home, and they love people’s reactions when friends and family come round.
Holiday let owners and Airbnb hosts
Whether you’re launching a holiday cottage, furnishing an Airbnb or creating your own retreat, we design with your guests in mind. We want your place to look beautiful in photos and feel good to stay in, with every little detail thought of.
Helen is a former Airbnb Superhost, so we know what guests notice and what they mention in their reviews: the comfortable mattresses, the gorgeous decor and the details nobody expected.
How does a Coral project work?
A Coral project usually runs for three to six months.
Survey and plan
We start with a full measure and site survey, so we can draw your rooms up in CAD and start space planning.
Design together
We order samples for anything that’s staying, and we choose the overall look, feel and colour palette together. Each room gets its own board in your online studio, then we present everything, in person or on a video call, with physical sample boards to look at.
Make it happen
Once you’re happy with the design, we move into implementation. We take care of the ordering and the project management, plan and organise the trades, and use our trade pricing. Everything is delivered and installed, and you get the “ta-da” moment when you walk in and it’s all done.

Who is Helen?
I’m Helen, and I run Coral Interiors. I wanted to be an interior designer at 14, but I was terrible at art, so that door felt closed. I fell into a well-paid career in IT and kept doing interior design for friends. At a team dinner in Zurich we went round the table asking what we would do if every job paid the same, and only one of about eight of us would have stayed put. That was my YOLO moment, and I went after my original dream.
