Creative Director at Clara Bee. Claire has always had a passion for property and interior design and started renovating properties in 1995, initially her own, then helping friends with their property projects, working around being a mother to two daughters. She designs practical solutions that make the spaces work beautifully, and has built up a network of valued contacts with property and design professionals and contractors.
Over time the work became more formalised - new clients arrived through word of mouth recommendations and a formal business was created. Trevor is passionate about creating new spaces that work for the family, balancing and with other areas of the home, adding real value to the investment return as well as the lifestyle practical benefits.

Very exciting project to convert a guest bedroom into an ensuite bath shower and dressing room with Crittal-style door and shower screen. Full refurbishment of ground floor and garden redesign, kitchen extension, formal reception room and media space. An absolutely stunning transformation, space, look, feel, style inside and out.
Some people want a makeover to their home, they may have just moved or have lived with the same furnishings and dcor for a number of years and want a change. Some clients want their new space created through an extension to have a specific look and feel. Some clients will willingly admit they they don't have the first idea about how to start going about choosing a shade of white paint for a ceiling.
