Finishing Touches and Detail

When you hire Designed by Woulfe to transform your interiors, we think of every small detail, both during the selection of design elements and in the final staging of your home. Sumptuous velvet piped cushions in the bedroom, vintage crystal decanters for entertaining, snuggly softness from the throws and blankets on your sofa. We don’t employ a house style, so whether you’re into intricate pattern or minimalist simplicity, we can source dramatic embroidered bed linens or gorgeous easy-care houseplants and abstract sculptural vases to complement our design. For some creatives, aesthetic detail is their raison d’être – but as award-winning designers, we consider your lifestyle every step of the way, and how you like to spend your time. Kids, dogs, mucky footprints? We’ve got you covered with washable upholstery, anti-scratch surfaces and easy-clean flooring. We respect that hiring an interior designer is an investment you will have thought long and hard about, so every surface, fabric and finishing touch has to work just as hard for you in return.
