Recommended Interior Designer/Project Manager

Recommended Posts

My husband and I are nearing the end of a project with a local interior designer/project manager and we would highly recommend her. Her name is Mariliz and her business is called House 2 Home Design (website isn't live yet though). Mariliz has over 12 years' experience of both her own property development and interior designing and project managing build and renovation projects for clients. Mariliz designed two very tricky rooms for us: a bathroom that involved moving walls, reinforcing floors, dealing with RSJs and knocking through and a downstairs utility room full of tanks, pipes, boiler etc that was not easy to design at all - especially given my obsession with squeezing as much storage as possible into a room! Her design work is excellent and she came up with several ideas that really made a huge difference to the rooms, and she also pushed us outside of our comfort zone a bit with ideas we would never have thought of on our own.


Mariliz does both the interior design piece of a project (and will do this as a standalone project) and she also offers project management and build supervision services, using her own team of tradespeople (who are excellent).


Because Mariliz has developed property herself she really knows the ins and outs of a build and in particular, timing. We have relied very heavily on her for this and she has given us excellent advice throughout. She has spent many hours on site dealing with our team and her being so local (SE21) has really helped with this. Mariliz is calm, measured and deals well with the many stakeholders involved in her projects. She is also a complete perfectionist and has a very and a totally "can do" attitude. She refuses to take no for an answer if there is a way of achieving something on a project so as not to compromise the design. We would highly recommend Mariliz and House 2 Home Design.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
