RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN, BOURNEMOUTH - LET'S CREATE THE HOME YOU DREAM OF
Work
Why work with us?
Renovating or extending your home is exhausting.
...And if flicking through magazines, getting lost in Pinterest and trawling round the shops could get you the home you dream of, it would be done by now.
How we can help
Focus On What You Do Best
Updating your home can feel like a full time job, and you just don't have time.
You're busy living your life and all that entails.
We partner with you to finally get your renovation done, doing all the legwork so you don't have to.
Resolve Disputes
Much as you love your partner, do you sometimes struggle to agree on priorities, colours, purpose of rooms? (-snooker room or home spa?)
All those little (and not so little) decisions and disagreements can leave stuck you in 'analysis paralysis'. At this rate it'll take years before you're relaxing on that new sofa (and that's if you're still talking to each other!)
Avoid expensive mistakes
We use 3D visuals and renderings along with sample boards to allow you to really see the scheme as a whole allowing you to make informed decisions, before you make a single purchase.
3 Steps to Your Dream Home
Helen and the team at Coral Interiors offer an approachable, friendly and hopefully fun(!) partnership with our clients.
Whether you're building, renovating, or refreshing your decor, our award-winning team will help you create a home that is a reflection of your lifestyle and aspirations.
We take time to really listen to you, uncover your tastes and desires and then create a scheme a little beyond what you may have come up with yourself.
Sure, this may involve a little nudging from the safety of their comfort zone, but we know good design needs to elicit a 'wow' and that may mean more colour, pattern and texture than you may be used to.
1. It all starts with a brief call to discuss your project, let us know your plans and timescales.
2. If we think we can help we'll send you a questionnaire to find out more about your likes and dislikes.
3. Then we book your in home consultation, which can be a standalone service, to help you make some key decisions, or the jumping off point to a full project.

They Say
What They Say
Our family relocated to Dorchester with work and bought a partially refurbished large semi detached Victorian House which was very much a blank canvas. We were used to new builds and felt overwhelmed by the size of the rooms and didn't feel we could do the house justice on it's own.
Coral Interiors was recommended to us by the Estate Agent representing the seller. Helen met with us to discuss the rooms we needed help with and tried to tease out our style. She visited us regularly and also used digital media to develop our ideas. When the plans were finalised, she sourced trades and furnishings and often accepted deliveries.
Helen pushed us out of our comfort zone of magnolia, which was eactly what we needed and we love the finsihed product. Most importantly it does feel like our home, rather than a house in a magazine, and we are really proud of it.
J. Graves, Dorchester
Central London loft extension and house renovation
Helen was involved in each stage of our renovation process and was so much more than "just" a designer.
Her suggestions and designs were amazing and she had ideas that we would never have come up with. She also worked with our builders to get layout right, found suppliers for beds, blinds, bathrooms, hardware, tiles: you name it, she can do it!
She was supportive throughout and we'd use her again in a heartbeat.
H. Day, West London
Helen at Coral Interiors really helped us when we became daunted by all the design decisions in our new-build house. We didn’t want to make expensive mistakes and Helen was able to clarify what we needed and encouraged us to be braver with our colour choices. She was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad we used Coral Interiors and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in future.
