About the Author
I joined InStyle Direct way back in 2008, starting my career as a Design Assistant. However, in the 17 years since then, I've honed my design skills and gathered the experience to take over as Head of Design Head and finally achieve my current role as an Associate Director. While working here, I have had the opportunity to help numerous clients create stylish and highly functional interiors that appeal to the rental market and homeowners alike. These experiences have helped me add immense value to my design knowledge and understanding of the property market. The design style I usually follow is minimalism and the use of clean lines that lead to uncluttered space and a timeless aesthetic. My objective is to enhance the property's visual experience, indoor comfort, and convenience to its optimum level. This approach helps tap the right tenant audiences and motivates private landlords and BTR developers to create stand-out interiors. The years I've spent in the interior design and furnishing industry have helped me gather valuable insights into what styles work best when putting together appealing interiors for the rental market. If you are a landlord, estate agent or BTR developer, stay tuned for my exciting design-led blogs.
