Realising that it is easier to make these choices in the comfort of your own home, I arrive with a fantastic array of designer fabric books. Time is spent getting to know you - your lifestyle, taste and budget. From a simple linen Roman Blind to more elaborate curtains and pelmets, I will happily give advice and work with you to achieve the perfect look for your home.
The complete service includes measuring and designing to the final installation and hanging, and those important finishing touches to complement the room with beautiful throws and bespoke cushions, window seats and headboards. With a background in commercial and residential Estate Agency in Central London I became very interested in buildings and interiors.

This gorgeous drawing room in a brand new house in Midhurst was a blank grey canvas. We chose curtains in beautiful embroidered Sanderson Angelique, this gave some gorgeous colours to work with and the flat padded pelmets really show off the fabric. Colefax wool and linen stripes were used to recover the sofas and chairs.
I love looking at clients artwork, whether from Children's nursery painting to valuable paintings it is great to try and incorporate them into the scheme. This lovely lady was the main point of interest in this otherwise rather bland hallway and Romo Black Kansai Velvet Curtains really worked well with her.
In this beautiful new home in Midhurst, West Sussex with lots of tall windows, pelmets and curtains was definitely the best option so we decided to have some fun with them. Choosing stunning fabrics from the Jane Churchill Atmosphere Collections and less expensive co-ordinating plains for the curtains, this was a more economical way to use great fabrics which in no way compromised the style and final finish.

Mel has exceeded my expectations and made some beautiful curtains and blinds throughout my house, and as promised, in a very short space of time and in the busy run upto Christmas! She is professional, friendly and listens to what you want to achieve, I have no hesitation in recommending her and her excellent team. Many, many thanks.

I have worked with Melanie Downing Interiors for over 15 years referring clients from my very busy Styling business. She exceeds perfection and never fails to deliver the most immaculate and detailed work. I could not recommend her professionalism and attention to detail more highly.
I have yet to see a window she has dressed look nothing but amazing.

Mel never ceases to come up trumps!! I have been using her services for years. She always listens and interprets my thoughts, however sketchy, with outstanding results; adding an attention to detail not often found.
I have recommended her to many people so the only downside from my point of view now is remembering to plan ahead because she is so busy. Look no further!!

I have no concept of how someone has awarded only one star here. They are either a competitor or lost. Take no notice. We have used Mel for many years and have always been delighted by the level of service, her cheerfulness and ultimately the quality of her work. Only recently she has worked with us on a refurbishment and the results are stunning. Looks like everyone else agrees too. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
