What Our Interior Design & Decoration Service Includes

Interior design is most effective when the visual concept and practical requirements are developed together.

Rather than selecting finishes in isolation, we consider how each decision contributes to the wider interior. Layout, lighting, furniture scale, materials, colour, storage and decorative features are all reviewed as part of one connected scheme.

Our service is best suited to larger-scale residential projects, including multiple connected spaces, whole-floor design, full-home renovations and substantial turnkey schemes, with the exact level of involvement tailored to the brief.

 

Interior Concept & Direction

Every project begins with understanding your property, lifestyle and ambitions.

We consider the existing architecture, how the rooms are used, what is working and what needs to change. From there, we establish a clear interior direction that informs the layout, palette, furniture and decorative details.

The aim is not to impose a predetermined house style. We create a scheme that belongs to the property and reflects the people who live there.

 

Colour, Materials & Finishes

Materials establish much of the atmosphere of an interior.

We coordinate flooring, wall finishes, joinery, stone, timber, metal, fabrics and decorative surfaces so they work together rather than competing for attention.

Colour is considered in relation to natural light, room proportions and adjoining spaces, helping create visual continuity throughout the property while allowing individual rooms to develop their own character.

 

Furniture, Lighting & Artwork

Furniture should support both the proportions of a room and the way it is used.

We consider scale, comfort, placement and visual balance before specifying individual pieces. Lighting is layered around practical requirements and atmosphere, while artwork and accessories help introduce personality and depth.

Where the right item is not available as a standard product, we can also explore bespoke furniture and specialist commissions.

 

Styling & Final Details

The final stage of a scheme is about refinement.

Furniture placement, textiles, lighting, artwork and accessories are adjusted so the completed rooms feel balanced and resolved. Our home styling service can form part of a wider design project or provide focused support once renovation work is complete.

Interior Design That Starts With The Space

A beautiful room still needs to work.

Before decorative decisions are finalised, we look closely at circulation, furniture layouts, sightlines, natural light and the relationship between adjoining areas. This interior-led approach can reveal opportunities to improve the home before finishes and furniture are specified.

Our creative space planning is particularly valuable during renovations, extensions and new-build projects, when early decisions can affect lighting, electrical layouts, joinery and furniture placement later in the programme.

We do not replace the role of an architect or structural engineer. Where those professionals are required, we can collaborate with them while contributing specialist interior design knowledge and an understanding of how the completed spaces need to function.

Our Interior Design & Decoration Process

A clear process gives clients greater confidence in both the creative direction and the work required to achieve it.

 

Consultation & Brief

We begin with an initial conversation about the property, your priorities, your ideas and the stage the project has reached.

This allows us to understand the scope before recommending the most appropriate combination of design services.

 

Site Review & Planning

Where appropriate, we review the property in greater detail and assess the existing layout, proportions, light and key architectural features.

This stage helps us identify opportunities and practical considerations before the design develops further.

 

Concept & Specification

We develop the visual direction through layouts, materials, finishes, furniture and lighting selections.

Where technical information is required, our team can prepare the drawings and specifications needed to communicate the approved interior clearly to contractors, manufacturers and specialist trades.

 

Procurement & Coordination

Once products and bespoke items are approved, we can support sourcing, ordering and coordination.

Our relationship with UBER Interiors gives the design team access to an extensive range of established luxury brands, furniture, lighting and bespoke manufacturing options. Project clients may also benefit from preferential product pricing, depending on the items specified and purchased.

 

Installation & Styling

The final stage brings the separate elements together.

Furniture, artwork, accessories and decorative layers are positioned and refined so the completed interior feels cohesive and ready to live in.

What You Receive From The Service

The exact deliverables depend on your project scope, but your interior design and decoration service may include:

  • Interior concept development
  • Furniture layouts
  • Colour, material and finish schemes
  • Lighting and decorative fixture specification
  • Furniture and accessory specification
  • Bespoke furniture or joinery concepts
  • Artwork and styling recommendations
  • Technical drawings where required
  • Product sourcing and procurement support
  • Coordination with contractors and specialist suppliers
  • Installation and final styling support

Your proposal will clearly outline the services, anticipated design input and next stages before work begins.

Designed To Create A More Cohesive Home

Many clients know the individual styles, colours or pieces they like but need help bringing those ideas together into one considered interior.

Our role is to create a clear design direction across layout, materials, furniture, lighting and finishing details, helping each room feel connected while still retaining its own character.

A coordinated scheme can help:

  • Create stronger visual continuity between rooms
  • Improve furniture scale and placement
  • Make better use of natural light
  • Integrate practical storage more effectively
  • Give contractors and suppliers clearer information
  • Avoid disconnected finishes and purchases
  • Create a home that feels considered from room to room

The result should feel refined, practical and naturally suited to the way you live.

It can include concept development, space planning, colour schemes, materials, finishes, lighting, furniture, artwork, accessories, bespoke elements and final styling. The exact scope is agreed around your property and project requirements.

What Scale Of Residential Projects Do You Take On?

Design by UBER focuses on larger-scale residential projects, from multiple connected spaces and whole-floor schemes to full-home renovations and substantial turnkey projects. The recommended service depends on the brief and level of support required.

When Should I Involve Your Team?

Early involvement is especially useful for renovations, extensions and new builds because interior requirements can influence layouts, lighting, electrical positions, joinery and furniture planning. We can also support projects that are already underway.

Do You Supply Furniture & Lighting?

Yes. Through our furniture, fixtures and equipment and procurement services, we can specify and supply furniture, lighting, accessories and bespoke pieces.

Can You Work With My Architect & Builder?

Yes. We can collaborate with architects, structural engineers, contractors, manufacturers and specialist trades. Our role remains focused on interior design, creative space planning and communicating the agreed interior clearly.

How Much Does Interior Design Cost?

Design fees depend on the size, complexity and scope of the project. Our current services information states that design time is charged at £85 plus VAT per hour, with fixed fees available by agreement for larger projects. The initial consultation is complimentary.

Create An Interior That Feels Complete

A successful interior is not defined by one piece of furniture or a single decorative choice. It comes from coordinating layout, materials, lighting, furniture and detail around a clear understanding of the property and the people living within it.

Design by UBER combines creative interior design with practical planning and technical capability to help turn your ideas into a cohesive, liveable home.

TESTIMONIALS

Simon’s incredible vision and flair absolutely transformed my disused and awkward top-floor office loft area into the most luxurious city apartment I could imagine. Even the sheer professionalism of the entire work crew need a mention. I’m more than thrilled with the results, the only down side is that it’s keeping me away from home!

Ged Mason, The Morson Group Chairman, Private Client. Manchester UK

My expectations were high but honestly you have surpassed them again! I absolutely love it. You guys are amazing. Simon, we can’t thank you enough!

Phil & Sophie Beahon – Castore: Spanish Villa

We have recently finished refurbishing our kitchen/living area and principal bedroom and could not be happier with the results. Thanks to Design by UBER we have two incredible and beautiful spaces which have the WOW factor every time you walk in. They were great to work with – their creativity and eye for design and detail was excellent. Everything ties together perfectly! Following the success of the project we are now working with them on our study and can’t wait to have it finished too.

Claire Wilde CHESHIRE

What Design by UBER created totally blew my mind! The original idea for the basement was to create a room to watch football and play pool. It only evolved into a state-of-the-art man cave entertaining space.

David Giovanni – Manchester

I was thoroughly impressed with their creativity. They were always very transparent about their costs and I was able to benefit from the discount on many items that they passed onto me. Their creative approach suited our grade II listed property perfectly and they sympathetically enhanced the existing character into a stunning family home. I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Sue Capper

We were a little dubious …[was it] too good to be true. It definitely had the ‘wow’ factor: very smart and extremely sophisticated.

Michelle Keegan

Aww Simon, we can’t thank you enough! My expectations were high but honestly you have surpassed them again! I absolutely love it. You guys are amazing.

Spanish Villa Client

I think Dr Nyla has a great clinic here, it’s like a 5 Star hotel, I don’t want to leave!

Jenny Powell – Dr Nyla Medispa

Simon and his team at Design by UBER were fundamental to us looking after and settling Cristiano Ronaldo into his home in Manchester which was created by the team. They were brilliant to work with and ensured every detail was perfect and I'd recommend them to anybody looking for help with their homes

Cristiano Ronaldo – Agent, Jorge Dias Ramalheiro

Thank you for everything you’ve done for us and the patience you have shown. You have given us the most amazing home!
