What is Interior Design?

Interior design is an art of bringing a function, mood and a personality to your home or work place by using the 7 design elements; Space, Texture, Light, Colour, Form, Furnishings and Objects. The principle is to make your home work for you, but also making sure it is practical and aesthetically pleasing.

The 7 Elements & Principles of Interior Design

Firstly, Space is more towards working with the space, and not about the size of a room, and therefore using textures such as; fabrics, wall pattern and materials will not only provide dimension but depth to the room, which will create an atmospheric feel.
Whereas Texture accompanied by the element of light will give the overall mood of the room. This will be through artificial lighting such as, overhead lighting, subtle lamp lighting, or by natural light naturally, all equally entering the room.
Similarly Light is a key feature of any room, seeing that it changes the colour and the textures, and provides an ambiance of the space. Light will generally highlight the attractive features, and objects in the room.
In the same way, the Colour of the space will also play an important part of interior design, especially as by using the correct colours within the light of the room, will make a small room appear much larger, and equally a large room appear much cosier. By using certain colours together will give the space a whole new dimension. Colours stimulate certain senses, such as; red which is particularly used in restaurants to stimulate the appetite and sense of smell, whilst orange is generally used in schools to stimulate the mind.
By the same token, Form signifies movement, and generally sets the pace for harmony, balance, and provides your room with a uniformed, and well-presented layout.
Furniture obviously provides the functionality of the space, giving the overall look, style and feel to the space.
Carefully chosen Objects and accessories complement the room, and on balance give it that personal touch.

Not only does Lesley Ann Interiors offer affordable and flexible design packages, we consequently pass on our trade prices, which in turn saves you even more, and in most cases the Design fees are then covered! Moreover, our Interior Design Consultation, or our Colour Consultation is perfect to start the process, especially if you are implementing the work yourself, or just looking for some inspiration. For instance, introducing a new colour, or bringing in some colour to your Interior. Similarly, a Consultation is ideal for those wanting assistance with solutions, to help with storage. Lesley Ann Interiors has been working with the property industry for over 18 years, so can confidently illustrate solutions for most of your dilemmas! Alternatively, our affordable E-Design service offers the same, all online and delivered directly to your mailbox.

Amanda – Woburn Sands May 2022

Lesley has provided a great deal of help in helping to select colours for the decoration as part of an overall refurbishment. She quickly understood the style I wanted and identified the right colours from a huge selection of swatches to compliment existing ideas. She has also advised about bathroom tiling, furniture layouts and positioning of art work and explained how colour can be used to change the dynamic of a room. I will continue to use Lesley as our project continues.

Mr & Mrs Higgins, Great Holm, Milton Keynes Jan 2022

Lesley was fantastic from start to finish of our project. Our house was left in a terrible condition by tenants, she coordinated all of the services, clearing, repair and staging. All the prospective buyers walked in and commented how good the house looked. (Lesley even thought about how it would smell) We sold the house after 1 week on the market for more than the asking price. If you want efficient and hassle free service I would 100% recommend Lesley Ann Interiors.

S Winwright, Oxley Park Dec 2021

Excellent service and very professional. Always goes the extra mile. Thank you for your help. My living room looks great.

KT Roy. Woburn Sands Nov 21

“I’m amazed at how you’ve understood my styles/likes so well in such a short space of time. I am in awe of the boards!! I think I will be ready to progress forward – how exciting!!”

Mrs Ayub, Luton June 21

“Thank you sooo much for our Concept board ideas..

Pete and I had a lovely time discussing your ideas, which we really like. We really appreciate also, the wallpaper/ paint colours ideas, which is one of the main things I had been struggling with.. same also for how to dress a fireplace, accessories ideas.. small details, but still important ones in my book – I don’t feel so overwhelmed now, and now have a plan of action!

Thank you again for all your hard work, and it was lovely to meet you!”

Mrs T King – Luton Apr 21

When I purchased my first house, I knew I wanted to make it my own but it all seemed overwhelming. Glad I found Lesley! She created a mood board for my living room that I really loved – based on a briefing document, a conversation, images of things I like, and furniture I owned that I wanted to feature. She brought in trusted tradesmen from the area which really helped as I had no contacts myself and they did a great job. Loved all the items she picked and all within budget. I’ve gotten many compliments already from friends and family, it looks beautiful, cozy, and really helped me feel at home in my new place.

Eve H, Bletchley

“I sought Lesley’s help and advice to get my property looking welcoming before putting it on the market. I had a few ideas but Lesley’s input to the colours I should use in my hallway to link to other rooms and suit the style of the house was invaluable. She is passionate about what she does and has great vision. I have since called on Lesley to help with other projects – despite being out of her expertise, she happily took them on and gave me great guidance in styling the accommodation when I set up my new glamping business this year and I am pleased to report that my Property in London sold in no time!”

We have previously worked with Lesley on a couple of projects, so she was our first choice for a bigger construction and design for an ensuite bathroom. She was also able to bring in a plumber, Master of Maintenance, for the actual build itself. We already had a good idea of what we wanted to include in the design, but not how to bring it all together. In addition to design, advising and sourcing on the various products, Lesley suggested colours that helped the room flow from the bedroom. She produced mood boards to narrow down choices, and ‘shopping’ lists with products and prices listed to make it as easy as possible for us to pull the project together. Lesley also sourced, mid-build, alternative solutions when needed (often last minute). We are 100% happy with the end result and highly recommend!

Mr & Mrs Smith – Woburn Sands

When I moved into my new home I wanted to convert the ensuite bathroom from an old bath to a stylish shower.

Having seen other projects that Lesley had worked on I decided to engage her to design my new ensuite and project manage the transformation.

I sat down with Lesley and talked her through my thoughts for the room which she took away and very quickly came back to me with a few options for the design, furniture, flooring and accessories, one of which I really loved.

Lesley then helped me source the items and managed the tradesmen rip out the old bathroom and build the new modern looking ensuite.

I have attached before and after pictures – it’s such a transformation and I am so happy with the work and finish of the room.

Lesley was a pleasure to work with, she offered a number of ideas and options and nothing was too much for her.

Lesley certainly delivered on her promises and I would have no hesitation recommending her personally, her work and the tradesmen she works with.

Mr Harding – Wavendon

We were living in Australia and looking to sell our house in Milton Keynes. The house had been let for over 5 years and was in need of some sprucing up. Unable to get back to the UK we were very daunted with the task that lay ahead. Thank goodness we found Lesley-Ann interiors!
An initial contact via Skype confirmed she was the women for the job. With Lesley-Anns contacts our house was repainted inside and out, removal and fitting of a new carpet in the bedroom and dressing area, minor fixes inside as well as garden tidied, outside area jetwashed and roof repair. All competitively priced with a few discounts thrown in.
The property was then ready for styling/staging. Lesley-Ann walked us through the process and was attentive to what we wanted and open to our suggestions, as well as organising everything.
We’ve had weekly updates on progress , more when needed. When the property was ready to sell Lesley ann has continued to pop in weekly to ensure the property remains in tip top condition and has organised a weekly gardener. Lesley-ann has made the whole process stress free…which is priceless.
Lesley-Ann service is worth every penny and is very competitively priced. we now have a number of offers on our property whilst others nearby are still waiting to be sold.
I cannot sing her praises highly enough. Lesley-ann IS what you are looking for ….and more.

J. Thunder – Australia

I asked Lesley Ann Interiors to take on a 2-room project – how to bring the two bedrooms together and update for a soon-to-be teen boy, and allow the rooms to grow with him. She advised on colour solutions to get the two rooms to flow together and how to place the furniture we had, alongside additional items to maximise storage as well as space. The mood boards showed us all this, including suggested accessories, and these very importantly had buy-in from the boy himself. I was taking on the project management myself, but Lesley Ann provided all details for paint and blinds, as well as a shopping list for IKEA (very useful as all we had to do was hit a button for delivery) and a list of all the suggested accessories, which meant that I just had to go online to source and buy when ready. In addition, Lesley Ann advised when it looked like IKEA was about to discontinue certain items so we could do a quick purchase before the items ran out; above and beyond what I was expecting! Overall, I can’t recommend Lesley Ann highly enough, but now my worry is that she will be too busy to take on any future commissions from us!

C. Smith – Woburn Sands

Lesley is a very friendly and down to earth person who works really hard to ensure the services she provide are unique, fresh and of impeccable standard. She is quite creative and comes up with fantastic mood boards which incorporates her professional touch and the customer’s taste. She is a good listener, very professional but at the same time very approachable and kind. Will definitely recommend her.

Edith Ekpa – Oakgrove

We approached Lesley Ann Interiors with a view to staging and sprucing up our soon to be Vacant property in the UK. We were contemplating selling our property if a tenant couldn’t be found quickly. Living in Melbourne Australia, we had become used to viewing properties that had been professionally staged to a good standard and thus sold quickly and at a better price. We approached Lesley by email and Skype. She was able to put us at ease straight away and was able to undertake the work that we were after. However our property was let very quickly and so we decided to wait another year before trying to sell… and wait for Brexit to settle. Lesley didn’t charge for any of her time. We will definitely use Lesley when we are looking to sell our property in Milton Keynes as her friendly manner and professionalism was outstanding.

Jacque Thunder – Australia

Lesley Ann Interiors, you are amazing, you completely open my eyes to a different approach when designing my lounge, your mood boards are stunning and unique. I loved your ideas and basically copied all of them! Now I have a lounge that’s cosy, warm, bright and completely different to my original (and a little boring!) plan. Bathroom next! Thank you!

Caroline Musgrove – Bletchley

Lesley has a great eye for designing rooms that blend various colours and textures together to achieve an accomplished look and feel to a room.

I first used Lesley when i was looking for inspiration for my lounge; I had a couple of sofas and colour options in mind. I sent Lesley some photos and she skilfully put mood boards together to show me the various options against the existing wall colour and carpet. She also added some suggested standalone furniture, curtains and soft furnishings to compliment the room which allowed me to see the final look in each option. It really helped me decide on what i wanted (I went with one of her fabulous suggestions) and Lesley even helped me purchase some of the items.

Lesley is extremely helpful, full of ideas and has a great talent whereby she can pull everything together to create the look you desire.

Thank you Lesley for all your help – I’ll be back soon for help with my dining room.

Andrew Harding – London
