​My project only involves re-decorating my space, how does a professional interior designer’s skills differ from an in-store decorator at a local furniture, tile, or kitchen and bath showroom?

Many times retail in-store decorators are primarily sales people. They’ve had only a limited education in interior design and space planning, unlike professional interior designers who attend comprehensive, accredited 3-4 year interior design programs at colleges.
Typically, in-store decorators are not as well versed in scale, proportion, space planning, colour theory and health and safety issues. Also, they’ll only offer you product selections from their featured lines. Professional interior designers have access to hundreds of trade-only vendors and manufacturer’s world wide. If you decide to use an in-store designer be sure to ask about their qualifications to determine if they’re the right match for your job.

​I would like to re-design my home or office but I don’t have a lot of time to devote to the process, should I still hire a designer?

Yes, most definitely, we’ll handle the shopping, ordering and delivery of finish materials, furnishings and fixtures, as well as coordinate and oversee the labour so you can spend more time enjoying family, friends, loved ones and outside activities.
We’ll bring selections to your home or office if you prefer not to go to design showrooms with us and try to make it as convenient as possible.

I don’t know what my design style is or how to articulate it, should I still work with an interior designer?

We hear this concern all the time. Rest assured we have a unique assessment system (our client briefing) to draw out what colours, textures, images, shapes, finishes and feelings resonate with you. Your answers inform our design process.

​Our favourite part of our job is helping you create a space that’s completely unique to your personality and not a replica of “specific style” that looks done and impersonal.

What is Tara Cremer Designs Ltd style?

​We don't subscribe to a just one particular design style such as modern, eclectic or traditional. As creative professionals we enjoy working on a variety of project styles from elegant traditional, to soft-modern, to mid-century family rooms, to name a few. This keeps business fresh and interesting. As such, both Directors travel constantly to Interior Fairs all over Europe to seek out new artisans and suppliers to bring to add under our creative umbrella and therefore, bring to you, the client.

​What if there is a labour problem or I am unhappy with an item delivered to my home or office?

Our business is based on referral so your complete satisfaction with the end result and the process getting there is our priority. If an issue arises, we’ll do everything in our professional capabilities to resolve it immediately and to your satisfaction. With this in mind, we always suggest a 50% deposit on design fees with the remainder due on completion and your 100% happiness with our work.

​Do you accept clients outside the United Kingdom?

Indeed we do. We have worked previously with many overseas clients and have built great relationships with them over the years. Please refer to our testimonial page where you can see their independent comments along with where they are domiciled.
