Let the season begin..... 🌲 The Christmas tree

Let the season begin..... 🌲

The Christmas tree ..... 🌲 starting in Britain in the late 1800's. The popular Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had themselves painted with their children standing around the Christmas tree and from that moment onwards the Christmas tree decoration had arrived. Apparently the Norway spruce is the traditional species used to decorate homes in Britain. Our tree is not a norway spruce but artificial. It has been passed down through our family and has seen us through nearly 30 family Christmases.. some together, some apart, some of the best and some of the most poignant making this tree one of the most sentimental and nostalgic parts of our festive season...

We turned this tired apartment into a multi-functional space making a small cycling, gym area with acoustic @pavigymflooring using a soft, calm and tranquil approach to the interior design so the space was compatible with thè living and eating area. Small spaces are always a challenge. This example shows how you can maximise limited space to create interior design that works just for you. #smallspaces #Interiordesignoxford #interiorinspo #multifunctional #changeyourenvironment #calmness #oxfordshire

This is a typical example as to why I set up ByEmm

This is a typical example as to why I set up ByEmmaJaneInteriors. A client with a limited budget really wanted a door moved in a grade two listed property. We did have to apply for listed Building consent but as part of the project management I did the application with site plan, location plan, design, access and local heritage assessment along with drawings and filing myself. This saved the client all the architect fees. Planning is approved and off we go. No fees applicable to the client as we took it on ourselves to save them money so they could get what they wanted. An achievement I'm proud of today and sometimes just being helpful gives the greatest reward.

I did it, 3 years running. Thank you to everyone that has supported me and for believing in my philosophy that Interior Design is available to all no matter how cash conscious you are and how small your budget is. To celebrate this we are giving away free 30 minute in person walk throughs in the local area or remote walk throughs if further afield throughout the month of July to spread the word and show how we can benefit you.

Selling off items when gutting a house has it's ad

Selling off items when gutting a house has it's advantages and I always add this into the statement of works on every job. There is less skip hire, less labour time incurred so a reduction in costs and of course the recycling and upcycling benefits that should be at the forefront of clearing out unwanted fixtures and fittings. The client saves money, the buyer saves money and waste disposal has a breather .... Happy Wednesday everyone 🌞🌞🌞

When I set up ByEmmaJaneInteriors the main driving

When I set up ByEmmaJaneInteriors the main driving force was to create a bespoke service but to be affordable and accessible to people who wouldn't usually think Interior design was within their budget. My passion is to create beautiful spaces that are reasonably priced. So what do you think of this this Soho loft industrial style bedroom and how much do you think all the furnishings cost including designing the room, sourcing, purchasing, delivery, setup, styling and finishing fees ? It would be interesting to know your perceived value. It looks expensive and certainly has an elegant wow factor. We managed to create this beautifully styled timeless look for just over £1,250 with all costs included. I'm happy with this outcome as it means ByEmmaJaneInteriors is achieving what it set out to do. A beautifully styled bedroom that's reasonably priced. What is not to love about that ? ...

It's not always about Interior design. This morn

It's not always about Interior design. This morning after our client meeting at a property we had concerns over underfloor heating installation. Rather than wait to book an available labourer to take up some of the floor to investigate further, I took it up. I am fully insured to carry out property maintenance which saves the customer time in these circumstances and today is a perfect example of moving on issues quickly. Partial floor up after our conversation, investigating done, next steps actioned, no time wasted.

Moodboards can be so much more than just an arrang

Moodboards can be so much more than just an arrangement of images and text to encourage a style or concept. At ByEmmaJaneInteriors we use these regularly as part of our communication to present research on a concept but include fact finding essentials for the particular ideas. We include options to select hand picked items with direct links, detailed costs and leadtimes. For quotations and tendors we add budgets, delivery options and fit out details. My personal opinion is that they are underestimated just as an imagery presentation. With key information added they can be the solid foundation and reference point to any renovation, extension, redecoration or fit out.

This design project that finished last year involv

This design project that finished last year involved moving the kitchen to a different location in the house and reconfiguring the ground floor. We opened up the space to create a large kitchen, dining and living area and added an office by converting the garage. The utility was moved to accommodate for the new kitchen and an extension was added to connect the living area to the kitchen, dining area. The before and after pictures dont show the extensive work that goes into moving a kitchen including numerous meetings on kitchen layout, utiliy room options, pipework, drainage, light and access. The results are stunning and life changing for the homeowners who now have this beautiful space.

Works are now starting on this 5 bedroom property

Works are now starting on this 5 bedroom property in North Oxford. A potential 2 storey extension subject to planning approval of the drawings submitted. Whilst we are waiting for this we are working on the current property, stripping out, prepping, repair, adjustments and costing for various updates. We are fast approaching putting it out for tender to local builders in Oxford who can plan this into their current schedule with an aim to complete before the end of August 2022. If you are a local builder based in the Oxford area and would like to discuss any business pojects or ideas please do get in touch. We would love to hear from you.

Im very excited to have had the approval on this j

Im very excited to have had the approval on this job in North Oxford. A two bed apartment with open plan living. As with most interior design fit outs at the moment the trend for a multi use in the 2nd bedroom of a 2 bed property is evident. We touched base on this last year with the @independentoxford blog and how you can utilise spare bedrooms to make them multi use. In this instance we are suggesting guest bedroom, office and work out area for the 2nd bedroom. With the space being limited fold away furniture is a must. A good quality sofa bed or fold up against wall bed, corner office desk that can part fold away or be moved, and thus leaving space in the centre of the room for the work out area. Changing part of the built in wardrobe to multi use also is an option for filing and book shelves. You can add baskets inside to make alternative drawers for guests. Keep the rail for hanging clothes and have a small storage chest for some gym equipment. This would help keep the room tidy and clear of clutter. Looking forward to transforming it.

Taking a long break from social media presents it

Taking a long break from social media presents it challenges for a small business like mine in today's world and to add to this challenge Ive never been confident with self promotion. Somehow I always feel that I'm trying to blow my own trumpet and that feels so uncomfortable to me.

I was brought up to be quiet about achievement, never boast, dont show off, never talk about success even if its a small step, dont discuss money, give your flaws and faults more recognition than your attributes, self loave rather than self love, get your head down and appreciate what you have. I've learnt alot about myself recently and I'm still learning that it's OK to be proud of yourself sometimes if you have managed to overcome a hurdle, succeed in a challenge or managed to achieve something you never thought you could no matter how small. It's OK to promote a good thing that happened on your journey and to tell people about it even though im embarrassed and feel a little awkward about sharing it all in the world of social media.

Also what I've learnt recently is that its OK to feel scared, vulnerable and all alone in business sometimes, to fail, make mistakes and just want to give up on trying. It's OK to find it hard and to feel like the road ahead is impossible. But most importantly it's OK to just be true to yourself and not always paint the pretty picture and show the world everything is great. Because it's not. Not always.

So today I'm saying hello again and happy Wednesday with a simple smile and a simple me who like every business owner, definitely has their ups and downs and various internal and external challenges some of which seem impossible sometimes. But it feels better to share this then just the good stuff because it is definitely ok to just be real.
