Winners: Gold Award Best Interior Design for Chalfont Dene, What House? Awards 2016
IDC are pleased to show you our latest project completed in May this year, CHALFONT DENE.
From the initial concepts put forward in 2012 to working up the interior features and details with the architects, ensuring the client needs are met in the layouts of the individual areas and ensuring all the different aspects are fully coordinated takes a considerable amount of time. We specify everything from the floors, walls, paints, tiles, lighting positions and fittings in all areas, right down every furniture and fabric, many bespoke, which we finally procure. We also curate a collection of original artworks that are located throughout the scheme. The final stages of the buildings handover and the installation completes IDC’s remit, but to get to that stage is long and demanding. A difficult birth this one, but when it finally happened all the hard work paid off. We are very proud of the results and Our client Audley Retirement Villages are delighted.
So its back to the drawing board with many projects forging ahead at this time

Another sneak preview, all items sourced from far and wide, bespoke furniture designed by IDC. Paris is a favourite, Maison Objet a good place to source some interesting pieces.
Sneak preview – latest project
Nearly there now, months and weeks of detailed work by the IDC team it’s almost complete. Just two more delivery and we are on the home run. This one has been a long haul, great to see it now taking shape. Hague Blue, such a beautiful restful colour and when mixed with all our bright highlights, the colours just zing !
Images of Inglewood House – Kintbury, Berkshire
Launch day over for Inglewood House and deep into the next project Binswood Hall, this one couldn’t be more different ! Anyway, up for some air and time to upload the image; here is a taster, the full set are can be viewed HERE or click Designworks on the menu bar and select Ingelwood House project.
IDC worked closely with M2H architects in Cardiff for the client Audley Retirement Villages.
Other recent projects completed for this client, Mote House in Bearsted and St Elphin’s in Matlock Derbyshire have gone on to be awarded several prestigious awards
Calm descends
Chinking cups and the clatter of plates die down, papers folded and discarded, everyone journeying back back to their abode, staff having well earned rest after a busy day. A the sun goes down a calm descends and Yao managed to get over to Mote House and take some photographs when it was quiet, or should I say in “lull” before the restaurant opens. This building is 18th century built in the typical Georgian proportions, a wonderful space to work with
Before and After
what a transformation, Mote House at Bearsted. A before and after shot.
Still awaiting some more images of the rest of the house, the Library I particularly like
BEFORE
AFTER
finished at last !
Another project successfully completed by Inside Design Co, Tunbridge Wellls. This project took a long time to come to fruition but it’s finished at last. Set in the Derbyshire Dales its a real treasure………
This last week has been a real push, made much easier by such a friendly team helping us, always with a smile. Hours leading up to launch somewhat frantic, but it all came together in the end.
One very happy client thankfully
Here are a few last minute shots courtesy of Yao photography
More to follow when we visit again
Not long to go now
This is our next project nearing completion, a large victorian house with a central galleried staircase. Its been slowly taking shape these past months, pool and spa wing almost completed, main house due in next few weeks. Hard to believe with all the scaffolding up, that it will all come together , but slowly sections are being revealed. Unlike the last project panic stations right up to the last moment, this project, although only 8 days to carry out the installation, feels like it will be finished at handover. Keeping our fingers crossed
Here are some before images, wont be long and I will post the completed project hopefully
Edward’s Parrots
Parrots, dont you love them. There vibrant colours………. In a recent project we wanted to use them, we had found an amazing box of prints, a collection by Edward Lear and just new they would figure in our designs. Our brief was to give the restaurant a more up to date contemporary feel but maintaining the elegance of its classical heritage. We were delighted with the results, as were our clients.
Purple
I have been putting together some ideas for artwork for my next project. Incorporates a restaurant and bistro and a spa amongst other things. Although I using using red in some areas, I want to add some purple mauve touches. During this process I have really warmed to this colour, used sparingly it looks quite splendid.
RED
totally into red at the moment, putting together some new interior schemes for a new project and finding red so inspiring
kvadrat clouds, unique product for interior designs
What a unique concept. One can purchase the tiles separately and form a design unique to your specific location. Easily constructed by bending and joining the shapes with special “rubber bands”. I am sure you will agree the results are amazing.
Amazing what you can do with everyday objects, shuttlecocks would you believe?No 1 perfume – Clive Christian Interior design
well that was in interesting time………. I have just come away after champagne, delectable canapes, a tour around the world of Clive Christian and being sprayed in the worlds most expensive perfume…
The best bit though, was talking to a very witty and charming man who actually comes from Tunbridge Wells, and who like me has an insatiable appetite for design, think we shall be getting together to “cross pollinate” soon !

These images are truly inspiring to me, the sumptous embroidery on the sleeves, an image I can draw upon when designing bespoke fabrics
Love the pleated affect of the fabric here, so architectural, structural, feels like I could do some wonderfully large paper sculptures using these forms in paper
Sneak Peak
Click on images to enlarge
Take a sneak peak at the latest edition of Vogue living (Australia), its crammed full of inspirational images.
Relaxed living in summer, from the beach to the city!! If only……….. Here we are amidst high winds and lashing rain, with the prospect of widespread frosts. However there is something magical, about long winter walks and coming home to a glowing fire.
We especially like the article “in vogue” Trick of the Eye” look how perspective draws you to the sculpture at the end really expands your perception of space. Great chair too, looks like a photo image of the Eifel Tower…………… love it
As for Kelly Wearstler, she is one colourful lady
