Summary

With a beautiful retail space full of the latest fabric and wallpaper samples, Design & Decorate Interiors provides a necessary alternative to the bland world of online shopping. Clients looking to totally reinvigorate their home or to simply add that special something can come into the showroom and compare samples side by side, see the actual colours, feel the textures and talk their ideas through with a real person who will listen to their story and offer knowledgeable advice. The current owner is retiring and would love to hand over the mantle to someone with the same passion for creating beautiful interiors and providing outstanding customer service. If you think that could be you, then you may have found your new business.
