Zebra Interiors

Where do we start? We were introduced to Deb after she had designed and managed a project for another member of our family and we literally could not wait to book her in to have her come and add her design sparkle to our dull, tired home. Well she did that and then some! We were absolutely delighted by her designs and ideas and we are now proud owners of a first edition piece of artwork which we are absolutely in love with! Personally, Deb is an absolute pleasure to deal with, easy to communicate with and always goes the extra mile. Professionally, we would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending Deb to friends and family and have done so! The only disappointment is that we don't (yet) have another project for her to get stuck in to!! Thank you Deb...

I’d felt a bit unsure initially about hiring an interior designer, but Debs was so friendly, approachable and helpful that after one conversation I knew I’d made the right choice. Despite starting off not very clear about what I wanted, through our conversations she really brought out and clarified my likes and dislikes. Her end designs and mood board for our room are fantastic and I’m still referring to them regularly now we’ve started the project. Although we’re tweaking a couple of details, the mood board captures the whole feel and atmosphere that I want to achieve and she just “got” what was in my head but I couldn’t quite articulate! She got me to think about ideas I wouldn’t have tried and I can’t wait to see what it’s all going to look like once it’s finished. Thoroughly recommended!

Having recently moved into our forever home I wanted to make sure I got the interior just right and which would stand the test of time, so made the financial investment of getting Debs involved. Debs took the time to understand our family needs, personal tastes and aspirations. The moods boards created were amazing (actually thinking of getting them framed and on a wall ), detailed and practical which I refer to constantly. Debs opened my eyes to styles I wouldn’t have considered but were absolutely what I wanted, not to mention opening my wallet to stores I wouldn’t have considered shopping in! A keen eye was kept on the budget and options were provided for furnishings from all price ranges, with some great finds in high street shops as well as premium worth investing in pieces. Debs was a truly joy to work with and I can’t wait to show off my gorgeous home once it’s all done!

Deborah was so nice to talk to during our first chat that I decided on her after 5 minutes. She listened to what I had in mind and asked all the relevant questions to understand my style and ideas for the space. My space was a kitchen/dining with a snug area that I had no idea how to arrange just because of the layout. The second space was a living room that I wanted to have a gentleman's lounge feel to it that everyone scoffed at but Debs made it work. The presentation was spot on and she gave ideas that pushed me a tad bit out of my comfort zone but I trusted her and LOVE the results. She was very responsive and just lovely throughout. I wouldn't have known where to get all the beautiful furniture and decorations and how to put them together if not for Debs. I highly recommend Zebra Interiors. Debs is my go-to interior designer for rest of my future houses and interior aspirations.

From the moment I saw Debs' Instagram page, I knew she was the right interior designer for me! I love her style and she was so lovely and approachable from the outset. She really takes the time to understand your vision/tastes etc...I had a fairly strong idea of what I wanted but just couldn't seem to pull it all together. In comes Debs with her magic wand and ta-daaa! Her ideas were fabulous and I'm so grateful as we now have our dream living room. If we could give Debs 6 stars out of 5 we would! Xxx

It’s hard to describe the full extent of Debs’ awesomeness, but here goes! Debs was such good fun to work with and her inspiring, thoughtful designs have transformed our renovations in ways beyond our imagination! Debs’ passion is obvious from the outset and she puts huge amounts of effort into understanding personal needs and lifestyles that she then incorporates in her fabulous designs. Our house and differing visions across household members could have been seen as a challenge but Debs not only took it in her stride, she fully embraced and valued each person’s visions and took on board everyone’s thoughts and curated harmonious designs which were just WOW! From all the small touches that we would never have thought of, to bold, innovative ways (colours, layout, furniture) to bring out the best in each room using every inch of space – she had it covered! And all the while working to make any budget work and being conscious of getting the best value for money! On a personal note, her positive vibes and energy made us feel like we’d known her for years – testament to the passion and commitment to transforming homes into sanctuaries, conducive and supportive of positivity and wellbeing. Debs also made herself available at all the key moments, whatsapping us at just the right moments and this was especially helpful for times when you aren’t quite sure of whether something will work and then… voila! She’s such a wonderful, down-to-earth and hardworking individual who goes above and beyond, putting in her all into her work – and it shows! I truly hope to get the opportunity to work with Debs again and wish her only the very best. To say she is highly recommended is an understatement – we are very much looking forward to now implementing her vision and inspiration.

Working with Debs has been a pleasure. It was easy to shortlist and select her as she was the most engaged and responsive person we spoke with by far. No contest. That enthusiasm and energy continued right on into the consultation and design sessions we had with her, and the results were fantastic. The ideas and options she has provided are fantastic, and have really improved our original thoughts on what could be accomplished with the space we are working with. We are really looking forward to seeing her visions for our renovation become a reality, and continuing to work with her as the building works begin this year.

Absolutely no regrets in getting Debs on board to help us with our new kitchen. Debs is attentive, easy to talk to and full of ideas! We would Would highly recommend her if you are creating or renovating a new space in your home.

Excellent work from start to finish. Debs was very approachable and friendly - very easy to talk to and share ideas with. She knew exactly what I wanted and needed. All the furniture choosing were of great taste and quality. She responds very quickly to requests and questions and was very punctual with meetings. Highly recommend for a reliable job done.

Recently moved into a new house, we were struggling to define our style and fit our existing furniture into this new space. The house, newly built, lacked the character we had always had in previous homes. I was overwhelmed by magnolia. So, deciding to ask for help from an expert was probably the best decision I made. I found Debs on Instagram. A local interior designer, her style and approach suited us. We were able to personalise the service to suit our needs. On the phone and in person, she was warm, down to earth and extremely generous with her time. Debs listened carefully and understood how we lived; she took inspiration from our existing furniture and Pinterest boards. She defined our style. Debs did the hard work so we didn’t have to. Debs went over and above creating not one but four layout designs, carefully measured and to scale so that they worked in practice. She created colour palettes and told us literally what colour paint to buy; no more procrastinating in B&Q!! She created shopping lists with live links so that I could quickly purchase the furniture and extra touches I wouldn’t have thought of to style the rooms. This saved me endless trawling- and as the measurements had been taken - the purchased furniture actually fit!! Debs has saved us so much time and trouble. If you fancy your own version of Dream Home Makeover (without the hefty price tag) ask for Debs.

I hired Zebra for ideas and inspiration for a lounge and bedroom makeover. The time spent was great and ideas generated were awesome too. The proposals and layouts were well thought out and matched my original brief. At the time of writing we are waiting to get the trades in to start the project. Happy to recommend Debbie and her services to anyone else looking for inspiration.

From the moment I found Deb on Instagram and followed her work I knew she was the one for me. I was dubious about the point of an interior designer but having read her blog on affordability I was sold. So I made contact, I messaged with previous clients and it couldn't have been easier. All the way through Deb was warm, professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She was able to work out what I was after when even I wasn't fully sure myself. I had pieces of ideas and textures and colours and feelings and she was able to whisk it all up and produce something which was beautiful and quirky and VERY me and my family. I was suddenly able to see what my space could look like. I'm still a way off the end of my project but at least now I have a direction and focus. If you are even remotely considering what or how to use your space, current or new, call or email Deb for a chat.
