About InteriorSense

InteriorSense – How it all began.

My name is Yvonne Burgess and I’d like to tell you how and why I’ve created InteriorSense. I grew up on a farm in Cornwall loving the open green spaces, the rugged coastline and the constant rhythm of the sea. After a year at Falmouth  School of Art and a 3 year Degree in Interior Design at Birmingham City University I was ready to make my mark on the world and determined to persuade someone to employ me.

Space Planning

Whatever your business the cost of the space that it occupies can account for a significant part of the overhead so making sure that its well-planned is essential for profitability.  Taking in to account the type of business, its operational flow, practical circulation and appropriate furniture sizing are some of the key factors we would assess in planning a given space. All these aspects can impact on costs, customer appeal, staff morale and productivity. Why not let us help you to get it right from the start?

Specification

Deciding on interior fixtures and fittings – loose furniture, light fittings and artwork for example – can be a challenge especially when it comes to getting the most for your budget. The quality, look and suitability are top of the list but cost is also critical. With our impartial viewpoint we can help you to maximise your budget, apportion it sensibly and spend it where it’s needed. If achieving this is important to you contact us to find out more.

Concept Design

Have you ever wondered what makes some interiors work well and others not so? Actually there are many factors but getting the concept right in the beginning is a must. We’ll take an objective approach to creating the right concept for your business: researching the competition and current trends, gathering relevant information and influences, exploring ideas and distilling the results in to a cohesive and individual design direction. Contact us to find out more.

Interior Review

Do you have an existing business but feel it’s time for some change in the design? We can help you by taking an objective view of what you want to achieve and deciding how to get there. We’ll take time to understand your business operation and the challenges you are facing before making recommendations for upgrading or makeover. If you’d like to have a chat about the possibilities in more detail please get in touch.

Design Development

If you already have a design concept you are happy with but need some support on what to do next we can help you to develop it in more detail. The design development process will show you how the design is applied to your chosen space and the extent of interior fit-out required. You’ll also be able to see how fixtures, loose furniture, lighting, artwork and other interior components are integrated to achieve a successful application of the design concept. If this is of interest to you please get in touch.

Collaboration

We are happy to collaborate with Architects, Project Managers, Graphic Designers or any other professionals seeking any degree of interior design input or support. Our understanding of what is involved in being an effective part of a project team and the interface required allows us to make a positive and practical contribution to any design challenge.

Testimonials 

Yvonne & I trained together many years ago. We have formed a design link-up in recent years, resulting in very successful collaborations.

Because she has had diverse experiences in the design industry she often has good perspective on the problem. She reads people and situations well.

Yvonne has the ability to find appropriate & inspired design solutions and present them clearly & eloquently.I can highly recommend Yvonne as a very experienced designer, both as a team support designer or for a complete design service.

As Steve Jobs once said:

“Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.”

Yvonne is a designer who totally gets this principle; she combines imagination and ingenuity with practicality and passion.

I have worked with Yvonne many times over the last 15 years and she always listens, answers the brief and delivers something more than was expected.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her.
