Creating beautiful, comfortable, and timeless interiors tailored to the specific requirements of each client, taking into account location, context, brief and personal taste of the client.
Designing homes that are tailored to the specific requirements of each client, considering location, context, brief and personal taste of the client as well as your timeline and budget. Adding your personality into the final design with an eye for aesthetics, but also a technical background and plenty of experience.
We are able to work on a multitude of different projects, from purely furnishing show homes for developers to sympathetic refurbishments of Grade II listed buildings of historical importance
and large scale residential projects requiring full interior design and interior architecture services. We have honed our process and service over years of experience to ensure we provide an efficient but in depth design service that is split into the following stages.
The Brief
Key to the success of any project is ensuring that the interiors are an authentic reflection of our client’s requirements and aspirations. During the brief stage we take the time to learn about how the client wishes to use the property, their personal style, lifestyle, and aspirations.
I then build a picture of the project through a site visit and/or floor plans and photographs as well as ensure that we understand all factors such as time scale, budget, and any structural or administrative requirements.
Following this thorough briefing stage, we will send a proposal to the client outlining the brief as we understand it, with an estimated budget for the FF&E (furnishings, fixtures & equipment) and our associated design fee structure.

Detail
Having approved all the concept designs we progress to the design development and detail design stage.
All final bespoke furniture, joinery and interior architecture drawings will be presented, along with all final finishes and curated art and accessories for clients to approve.
At this stage we will also present a fully itemised breakdown of costs in line with the agreed budget. (Detail drawing of entrance room cabinet shown below)
Realisation
The schedule of works will be outlined and agreed. With all onsite requirements met, works will commence, and our project coordinators and designers will attend regular site meetings to ensure our designs are being carried out to their exact specifications and that the project is progressing as planned.
We will keep the client updated throughout as well as oversee the snagging during the snagging period, allowing our client to enjoy their property with peace of mind.

I am delighted with the stunning home that Naomi has created for me. She has been the consummate professional throughout the entire process, showing expertise, creative flair and astonishing attention to detail.
Naomi thoroughly and meticulously co-ordinated all aspects of my apartment’s transformation from design brief to organising and supervising furniture delivery, painting and electrical work. She consulted and advised
me at every stage and I acknowledge her skill at consistently listening for creative possibility. Naomi has created a warm and atmospheric space with tasteful Autumnal colours and has combined this with an excellent
selection of the highest quality furniture at affordable cost. She has created a luxurious home which has exceeded all of my highest expectations.

Naomi Silva is a master of her craft. My pretty home was turned into an art form and a very comfortable one. Naomi believes rooms are for living not just display. She used colors from the art and rugs I love most to
weave the rooms into a harmonious and classic beauty. Now, people always stop and say this is very beautiful at first glance, and sometimes their second and third glances. I feel that way every day.

Naomi Silva of Naomi Silva Interior Design has done a superb job redecorating the open floor-plan family room of a house my husband and I recently purchased; we highly recommend her. The design is beautiful,
and we are thrilled with it, and Naomi was great to work with. Naomi was able to incorporate the furnishings I already had into the overall design by having window covering made with fabric in colors, style, and
pattern scale complimentary to my mission style furnishings, beautifully made throw pillows, a reupholstered bench, and paint. The paint colors and finishes Naomi chose for the walls, trim, ceilings, and woodwork
(which had previously been stained, but the color didn’t go with my furniture), are gorgeous, provide just the right amount of contrast, and create a calm, lovely, light space. Naomi chose an accent wall paper for the
kitchen table area that ties everything together seamlessly. The light fixtures she recommended are perfect.
Naomi made and sent mood boards so that we could better visualize what the room would look like, and she gave us options from which to choose – everything was beautiful, and choosing wasn’t so easy (a good thing)! The mood boards included swatches of fabrics, large samples of paint colors, the actual wall papers, pictures of light fixtures, and even details like samples of trim for the window coverings and piping for the pillows. Those boards were very helpful in deciding which options we liked best, and it was nice to be able to feel the cloth and see the exact colors of everything. All products are top quality.
Communication was great and easy, especially as we are separated by an ocean and five hours’ time difference. We communicated by email, phone, and the postal service. Naomi was always prompt in answering my emails, kept me up to date, and was always clear and easy to understand. She did all of the ordering and coordination of fabrics, the fabricating of the window coverings, and the wall paper.
We love the finished project and love spending time in our beautiful home. Naomi made this an easy, smooth process for us. It was truly a pleasure working with her.

Naomi’s experience and expertise was invaluable for helping me choose paint colours for my home. Not only this, but Naomi created a ‘mood board’ to help me envisage co-ordinating lighting and furnishings which really helped me imagine what could be achieved.
Naomi attended regularly to ensure the paint shades worked as we had anticipated, and she came to view once all the work was complete to assess the outcome. I could never have created the look that I have without her guidance and experience.
