OUR ETHOS
Ann is guided by principles of ecology and sustainability. We utilise and up-cycle our clients’ existing furnishings where possible and use natural, durable materials with which to design. We believe in developing lasting relationships, with our clients, suppliers and contractors, and are very proud to support local craftspeople and artisans.
We take this conscientious approach to design in order to deliver results that are personal, balanced and timeless.
TRANSPARENT FEES
We offer a fee arrangement that simply reflects our time employed, not the value of the project, its location or at which stage it is at. On most projects we provide a fixed fee for each stage as this provides transparency from the outset.
As each project is unique and requires different elements we do not have general costs. Each project is researched and our fees based on our experience of the duration each stage.
Our substantial discounts from our extensive supplier networks are passed on to benefit you – these typically exceed any design fees.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
We understand that a well-designed space doesn’t need to be expensive, and our passion is creating beautiful, functional spaces on any budget. Whether your project is simply looking at soft furnishings or includes complex building works, we guarantee to deliver within budget and on time, exceeding your expectations
At Ann Cope Interior Design, we take a personalised approach that sets us apart. Our process begins by getting to know you intimately—your lifestyle, preferences, habits, and personality. By delving deep into what makes you unique, we create designs that are truly tailored to your individual needs. This collaborative method ensures that the final result not only meets but exceeds your expectations, delivering a space that perfectly reflects you.
