Services
Great interior design - in your home, business and quality of life. We are a talented group of interior designers in Devon, with a stylish design studio in Ashburton. We seek original and innovative solutions that reflect who and where you are. Caroline Palk and Simon Bantock set up Ashton House Design in the 1990's so that they could share their experience in the industry with homeowners, corporate clients and property specialists.
We offer a huge range of interior design services to help take care of your project in the best way possible. Please have a look below. Nearly every project starts with a conversation about rooms, the available space, and what is required by our client. It's essential to agree on how we set out any area before finishes are considered, whether we're addressing a single room in a home or an entire spa.
Interior design is a collaborative process. When you engage Ashton House Design you procure a team of professional designers, negotiators and planners. Our consistent and considerate team engage with you deeply on your project. As interior design consultants we aim to be involved early on in a project, often working alongside your architect.
Our stylish design studio is located in the heart of Ashburton, on the edge of Dartmoor, and centrally located between Exeter and Plymouth. Here we display the very best of our designs and suppliers alongside a comprehensive fabric and wallpaper library. We will invite you in to discuss your project and present our ideas from the comfort of a sofa or two whilst enjoying (as one client put it), one of our "legendary coffees".
We'll be able to identify how and who can best help you with your own particular needs. By arrangement we can then either invite you to our studio or visit you at your home or business address to move things forward. We look forward to hearing from you. You will find our Design Studio located just off East Street, 100 yards up from the Fish Deli, 2nd lane on the left.
