Interior Design Services



Whether you are looking for home styling advice, some inspiration on a tricky space, furniture sourcing or a full interiors design service, below are a selection of design service options that I can provide. If you have any specific requirements that are not listed below, or would like a bespoke project quote, please get in touch.

Design Consultancy

“The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them”.

David Hicks - Interior decorator

Design Consultancy

An hourly rate is available if the full design packages aren’t required or applicable and you are a bit stuck. This service is ideal if you need advice on storage solutions, shelf styling, room layout, paint colour or lighting choices. The consultancy service is ideal if you have specific issues you want to resolve for one or multiple rooms in your home or you simply may want to simply ask me all the questions you have regarding a room.

Hourly rate at £140 per hour.

On Site Design

“Colour psychology is the study and understanding of the effects of colour, how we feel and how we perform. When we see a colour we instantly feel its effect, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.”

Karen Haller - colour psychology expert

Full room interior design

For a complete room transformation, I begin with precise measurements, space planning, and unique concept development. Your design comes to life with a mood board, colour scheme, and tangible samples (where available). My design advisory provides links to sourced items which you can purchase inyour own time (or I am happy to do this for you), and I present a 3D render to give you a real feel for the space.

You can choose what level of service you need. You can add technical elements like lighting, electrical plans and elevations, or the shopping and styling service if your project needs it.

From £1400 per room

“Real comfort, visual and physical, is vital to every room”.

Mark Hampton - Interior designer

Full interior design service and delivery

Alongside the design process listed above, Michelle Shakallis Interiors offers a full procurement and project coordination where I work closely with your contractors (or I can recommend you my preferred team). Once the room has been completed I will add the finishing touches to the space by styling the room. This service gives you everything you need to complete your renovation project.

Price given after consultation.

From the clients….


We worked with Michelle to completely redesign our open plan living and dining room and she did an absolutely fantastic job.

When it comes to interior design my wife and I don’t agree on much, so Michelle had the difficult job of balancing our individual tastes to create something cohesive that we both liked. We’ve ended up with a design we would have never got to ourselves in a million years, with elements we would never have gone for individually but that make so much sense as a finished product. Being brave and trusting Michelle’s vision has really paid off.

As well as being a brilliant designer Michelle is very easy to work with, communicating clearly and delivering high polished project outputs promptly. Recommended!

Michelle did an amazing job designing our master bedroom, ensuite and hallway. These were all tricky spaces in a Grade II listed house so the brief wasn’t easy! Michelle’s designs made creative use of the space and aligned perfectly to our style. I would definitely use her services again!
— Kate Garner - July 2024
Michelle was recommended to us by some friends, I am so pleased!
From the initial meeting, Michelle listened attentively to us, grabbing every little detail of what was on our wish list. The final design was overwhelmingly beautiful, I had tears in my eyes! Now for the next stage of the dream - reality of a beautiful sitting room. Thank you Michelle
— Karen Levitt - January 2024
Thanks again for a fantastic design, it exceeded all my expectations and achieved exactly what I originally sought to do.
— A Shearer - January 2024
I contacted Michelle for her design services to re-do our bathroom after realising our initial choices made 4 years ago were not standing up to the test of time. Michelle used various techniques to understand what we wanted and this boosted my confidence and clarity in the process. She has lots of experience and understands colour and style and really gets to know how you want a room to ‘feel’. After the initial consultation she returned with a thoroughly researched plan in a digital presentation, mood board and samples. Colours, images and links to all products were in the file including a 3D video of the room. This was useful to show to trades people when planning the next stage of the refurbishment. Her attention to detail and ability to get to know you on a personal level means the outcome will be what you imagined but better. I really enjoyed working with Michelle and highly recommend.

Michelle was a joy to work with, extremely professional with a wealth of knowledge, and easy to implement 3D plans.

Michelle took the time to get to know me and my personal colours and likes and dislikes of style. Then she showed me some suggestions for each room. For most rooms they were spot on so we tweaked a few ideas, but a couple rooms were more problematic, the master bedroom and ensuite for example. So Michelle took the time out to visit various shops with me to select items that worked. Michelles knowledge and expertise shone throughout her work, her different price point options also assisted enormously. Once we had a plan she created a wonderful 3D mock up for each room with simple links to purchase the goods, for myself and the architect and the builder.

I’m so grateful to have found her and worked with her, not just because she’s simply fabulous as what she does, but also because she’s great fun to be around and work with.

We enjoyed our experience with Michelle! This was the first time my husband and I had ever used an interior designer, and we were immediately drawn to Michelle’s company. Michelle stood out to us, because of her willingness to put her client’s preferences in the centre of her design, while also showing them that new things are possible. Michelle is a very thoughtful designer who ensured that we were given a design that was within our budget, and we really appreciated her efforts to weave some of our existing items into the design. We especially loved, that she brought both our tastes together, and designed a room, that had both our characters in it. We found working with Michelle super easy, and she listened carefully to us each step of the way. We highly recommend Michelle and would work with her again!

Thank you for all your efforts and all your beautiful designs. I really think you have gone above and beyond what I was expecting. I LOVE them all!
— Fiona Johnson - July 2022
Becoming overwhelmed with the enormous choice for bathroom fittings I arranged to spend a few hours with Michelle to run through my ideas and to get her advice on bringing it all together. Michelle was amazing – so friendly, professional, quick to understand my needs and full of great ideas. Thanks so much Michelle. I will definitely be seeking your help again.
— Carmel Williams - January 2022
Michelle is fantastic, listens, advises and inspires. Super well qualified and just gets it! I absolutely love the rooms we have done so far and she is also very nice and easy to work with. Don’t bother with anyone else
— Isla Chalmers-Tait - December 2021
Michelle understood our rather sketchy brief and translated it into a fabulous design, adding some suggestions of her own that we would never have thought of but which really enhance the project. We are thrilled with her work and would certainly recommend her services and use her again.
— Geraldine Brodie - October 2021
Brilliant service, so much achieved in only one hour. Michelle’s ideas for my hallway and sitting room all sounded amazing. I was also guided on where to buy certain items and what sizes to buy. I now feel so much more confident that my rooms will look fab when completed. I would totally recommend Michelle’s help to anyone. Thank you Michelle.
— Theresa Tilbury - September 2021
Michelle did a great job in helping us with a holiday home in Whitstable during lockdown. She did the whole thing remotely due to restrictions in place and listened very carefully to what we were looking for and interpreted our ideas perfectly. She made the whole process very easy which living overseas could have been very difficult. She was able to use key pieces we already had and fit those into the design to create a result we are very happy with. She also worked closely with our carpenter in relation to wardrobes that needed to be made. She is now currently working on a bathroom design for us as well and we are looking forward to seeing the finished results!

I am a regular refurbisher and usually happy to just use my own judgement. But this project was the halls, stairs and landings of a three storey house and I really couldn’t afford to get it wrong. I just wanted to have an hour with Michelle so I could run some ideas by her and have her professional opinion. We actually got through a lot in just that hour. I was impressed by just how enthusiastic she was about my project and the ideas she came up with to help me. It was also useful to understand a little bit more about how to go about choosing colours etc from a scientific point of view. All in all it was the best hour of my week!! I will be asking her back again when I think I have 100% made all my decisions and she will help me with some final dressing of the spaces.
— Vicky O'Shea - March 2021
We really enjoyed working with Michelle, she listened and offered great ideas to suit our brief. We are thrilled with the results and will definitely work with her again in the future. Highly recommended!
— Phill & Sally Cotton - December 2020
Michelle and I have worked together on a number of interior design projects and I highly recommend her. She is solution orientated, highly creative, and great at getting a project delivered on time and on budget.
— Honey Interior Design - November 2020
Michelle is extremely personable and made me feel at ease from the moment we started communicating. With great listening skills and understanding of the brief, Michelle delivered a comprehensive interior design brief. I received a visual and informative design that was exactly what I required. I trusted Michelle and have not been disappointed at all. I would highly recommend her interior design services.
— Natalie Fleming - October 2020
I’m so pleased to have found Michelle! I had a clear vision for what I wanted, but didn’t know how to bring it all together, or source all the things that I’d need and Michelle has been able to do all this for me, plus add her own flair too. She really ‘gets’ what I’m trying to achieve, has great instincts and has completely nailed the brief I gave her. Plus she’s a delight to work with - our meetings to review designs/plans are the highlight of my week and I’ll be sad when this project is over. I recommend her without hesitation.
— Lydia Howland - September 2020
Michelle helped with the redesign of our living and dining rooms. Her input was invaluable and it really opened our eyes to making the most of the space we have. She listened to our requirements and provided a detailed design report which fully incorporated our tastes and desires for the area. I was very impressed with the content of the report, as well as the speed at which the information was provided. Her guidance has enabled us to start the project with confidence. We would not hesitate to consult Michelle again.
— Mandeep Smith, January 2020
Working with Michelle has been an absolute pleasure. She is very professional and has taken time to learn the kind of things that I like while at the same time putting forward her own ideas without pressure. She has coped admirably when there have been difficulties with suppliers or trades. I am delighted with the results and wouldn’t have got them without Michelle’s input.
— Stephen Griffiths - May 2019
I worked with Michelle on two projects so far. All went without any problems. Michelle is highly talented as well as highly motivated. I would recommend her as interior designer and would work in the near future.
