Working with an interior designer should be a rewarding partnership, bringing together each element of your project with cohesion and individuality. One of the most well-regarded studios for such an experience is Hunters Interiors at Uffington…

The practical experience, the flair for design… and of course, the encyclopaedic knowledge of suppliers. Those are just three of the advantages of working with one of the area’s best interior design studios.

Established in 2001, Hunters Interiors is based in the thoroughly pretty former stableblock of Copthill Farm, in a setting that reflects the area’s vernacular of classic country interiors.

Candida Smith & Georgina Teesdale have been with the business from the start and took on Hunters Interiors in 2014, remaining popular with anyone seeking anything from the creation of a single set of curtains or blinds to the cohesive design of a room or an entire property.

Helping with delivering their clients’ projects, Candida, Georgina and the Hunters team have access to 1,000s of fabrics and wallcoverings, with about 700 sample books in the studio alone from the best names in the profession: Zoffany, GPJ Baker, Colefax, Lewis & Wood, Nina Campbell, Osbourne & Little and so on.

But both agree that whilst technical expertise and access to the country’s leading brands is important, it’s the collaborative approach to working with clients and their ability to inspire the customer and help them to interpret their own visions that remains their greatest asset.

“Getting to know a client is really important because homes are really personal, and it’s not for an interior designer to impart their own ideas, but rather allow the client to bring theirs to fruition.”

“We created The Hayloft, our coffee shop, as a response to the fact that people wanted to spend time in the studio, browsing and soaking up a bit of inspiration. It’s meant that customers can come in, relax and give their ideas a chance to come to mind without feeling rushed.”

“We’re then able to provide the industry-wide knowledge of what’s available and the contacts to create totally bespoke – and by extension British-made – sofas, chairs and footstools, headboards, cabinetry and other items. If these need to be a few centimetres taller, wider or upholstered in a different fabric, we can accommodate that: it’s all part of offering a full design consultation.”

“With lighting, accessories, carpets and flooring too, as well as a contact book  which is bulging with trusted tradespeople for installing and decorating, we can not only provide interior design, infused with creativity and style, but also peace of mind and help with project management, too.”
