FIRST SENSE INTERIORS | Nottingham Interior Designer

Blue shaker kitchen design by First Sense Interiors - Affordable Creative Nottingham Interior Designer

WELCOME

Hello! I’m Meera, the face behind First Sense Interiors. I believe our homes are more than just physical structures: they tell the story of who we are, where we have been and where we are going. They are our sanctuaries where we can truly be ourselves and build memories, where we can enjoy simple blissful moments like coffee in pyjamas, the feeling of cosiness on a rainy day and the sense of relief when we can put our feet up at the end of a long day. I also believe that considered, creative interior design can elevate these everyday moments.

SERVICES

I offer full-service interior design to clients in Nottingham, including project management if required. I also provide an online design service to clients across the UK. I aim to help you create a home that nurtures and inspires, and is as practical as it is beautiful. Whether you are looking for ideas to pull a room together, a fully managed renovation project from concept to completion, or anything in between, contact me to get started on your next interiors project.

RENOVATION

Planning a renovation and wondering when to get an interior designer involved? The answer is as soon as possible. 'Designing backwards' to figure out the best layouts, glazing, lighting + electrical plans, storage, etc prior to finalising building plans will ensure that you achieve a home that effortlessly works for you in every way.

KITCHENS & BATHROOMS

From layout to lighting, these important rooms require thoughtful planning to achieve the optimal balance between functionality and aesthetics. Given the disruption and cost of renovating these rooms, you will likely want to do it only once, so it's all the more important to get the design right for spaces that not only look stylish but work beautifully too.

ROOM REFRESH OR REDESIGN

Would you like to design a room from scratch or do you have furniture that you would like to incorporate? Is your layout working for you? Are you wondering how to bring your interior to life? Perhaps you are looking for that elusive wallpaper or fabric that would totally transform your room. Whatever you need to make your house a home, I can help.

BESPOKE FURNITURE DESIGN

You may require a solution that a ready-made product cannot fulfil, e.g. if you are tall, you may find that a deep and high sofa is what is most comfortable for you, or you may have an awkwardly sized space you need to fill. Commissioning bespoke furniture, whether upholstery or carpentry, gives you exactly what you require, making the best use of space.

SOFT FURNISHINGS

From window treatments that take care of your light, privacy and thermal needs, to accessories like rugs and cushions that bring the design together, soft furnishings make a space cosy and welcoming. They also liven up a room with colour, pattern and texture. Depending on the design direction, they can either be purchased ready-made or custom-made.

INTERIORS FOR CHILDREN

Take the guesswork out of decorating for a child with ever changing interests. Design longevity is at the heart of every First Sense project and this also includes children's rooms, where the foundation of the design will last them for many years, with just simple updates required to cater for their growing needs and current interests.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"I just wanted to say thank you for your patience, endless help, advice and input into designing my kitchen - I would not have known where to start! I have also learned a few things from yourself, which I am super grateful for!"

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Just managed to steal myself away from the cloakroom long enough to write you a quick note. I can't tell you how wonderful I think it is. The blind is just perfect. I know I can't begin to imagine how much work you have put into it. I'm not sure how I think you are not only going to interpret my strange ideas, but to make them happen as well! You are truly very gifted. So many thanks."

- S. Crooks
WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"We are really pleased with the room - the fireplace (painted white as you suggested) looks great but it is the blue and gold rug that you found us that everyone comments on as it is just so beautiful."

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
