The Design Team: Yorkshire Based Interior Design Consultants
We are The Design Team - a small interior design practice based near Harrogate. Our approach is to create design that is both aesthetic – delights the soul; and pragmatic – meets the brief. We are experienced interior designers, passionate about design and creativity but, most importantly, about working with clients to create interiors that exceed their expectations. While we have our own individual areas of interest and personal style we work well as a team thriving on the creative environment: generating ideas, finding solutions and transforming 'rooms' into intelligently designed spaces.
The Design Team was established in 2004 and together we've worked on design schemes for show houses, hotels, homes, and rental properties to produce inspiring, aspirational and yet practical interior design solutions that our clients love. Individually we're great designers; together we bring a touch of magic to the process!
While we are an established interior design consultancy, working with us is akin to working with freelance interior designers.
We don't have the expensive overheads of a studio or showroom and this allows us to be competitive with our prices. You also get the friendly, personal service you would associate with a small team.

Lulie Machin "I like to help clients see their homes in a fresh light. Often a new pair of eyes can quickly see how to optimise the strong features of a property. Clients come to me to get help and I aim to give them stress free advice and exciting designs." lulie@thedesignteam.org.uk |
