Barbara Spence Interiors

Deep double pinch pleat curtains suit this high ceiling, accompanied by cascade Roman blinds again emphasising the room height. All brought together with cushions of the same and complementary fabrics.

I love bedrooms - your sanctuary! This one is a beautiful eclectic mix of warm stone coloured carpet, up-cycled bedside cabinets, a low Japanese style bed finished off with bespoke cushions made from vintage french fabric.

It’s Spring!

Another lovely bedroom. PT fabric for a bespoke bed cover this time in single diamond quilting and matching pinch pleat curtains. A hint of rose brings out the dark wood of the frames bed.

Wonderful bespoke bedcover made in the Double Diamond style, rolled edges and matching cushions. Creating a luxurious and welcoming sanctuary.

Today we worked in the most delightful annex to add the final window dressings.
This was my first time dressing an Apex window - and I learnt a lot! It’s a bad job if you don’t learn something new every day.
Simple rollers and a blackout curtain for the bedroom. All very functional and easy to use.

Beautiful window enhanced with a simple voile. Dressing the window lifts any room to a different level and brings a touch of luxury.

Some recent bathrooms I have had the pleaseure to work with recently. ❤️
All redesigned. Tiles are mainly Fired Earth and some Metro Tiles.
Cloakroom hand basin is black and gold porcelain. Other colours avaiable. Please contact me for mire details.

Love these light chain mail fabric voiles. Very light grey giving privacy without blocking light.

Upholstery! The first thing people will say when considering upholstery is ‘it is so expensive!’

Yes it is, but my first foray into interiors was to retrain as an upholsterer. It wasn’t for me, and I certainly could not move sofas around on my own now! But what it did do was give me an insight into how much work and skill is required to transform a lovely piece of furniture which is feeling tired!

The cost is a reflection of the craftsmanship that goes into every piece. The care and pride my upholsters put into their work is worth every penny.

Breath new life into a treasured piece of furniture. Make it yours again and enjoy it for many more years. 🙂

I’m so excited to share details of the latest renovation soon.
In the meantime here is a little snippet on the updated profile photos.

Well this was a challenge! A massive 1 metre diameter drum lampshade. Stripped and re made with lovely textured fabric.

The perfect position for it.

Window of the week……
This time a modern twist on a traditional fabric. Beautiful velvet damask, but in metallic copper. Stunning fabric that exactly fits the modern image of this beautiful Victorian house.

Window of the Week

This week's window is in a lovely town house.
The curtains are wave top curtains with plain lining. The VERY exciting part of this update is that the fabric is made of 30% recycled polyester fabric. How great is that.
This collection comes in a range of colours and has a linen feel/look.

Window of the Week!

What a lovely job this has been! In an Arts and Crafts house in central London.

The front elevation is on a fairly busy road with only a narrow garden area before the pavement.

For privacy, but to still allow light in, windows have been dressed in white voile roller blinds. Old Roman blinds were removed and replaced with poles in ochre colour thus allowing the lovely arched detail of the windows to be seen instead of hidden.

The entire house now has this beautiful textured Indian fabric at the windows. All blackout lined.

Thank you for reading.

What a year this has been… a roller coaster to the end when I finally switched the phone off on Christmas Eve. January is pretty much full with the odd day available.

We learn as we go along, and sometimes weeding out the good from the indifferent is hard, but boy do we learn from it!

As ever, my team have been amazing. Reliable, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. My makers - Kaye, Audrey and the Fishers producing beautiful hand sewn items in time and on budget. My fitters, Tom and team and Dave - always reliable and ready to help and give advice.

My wonderful clients who make it all worthwhile - a massive thank you this year to Craig, Steven, Michele and Julie. always an absolute pleasure to work with you.

I want to say a very special thank you to my wonderful upholsterer who I have worked with for many years. Retiring this year - but I’m hoping to sneak the odd thing into his workroom. Good luck Clive. Looking forward to tea and biscuits. Michael is standing in the wings to take over!

Lots of very exciting plans for this year.

In the meantime, here is a sample of some of our work from throughout 2022.
Any enquiries, please do contact me.

Wishing you very best wishes for 2023 and looking forward to working with you. Xx

I would like to share some of the work I am thrilled to be a part of by showing you my 'Window of the Week'. Here is the first one, a beautiful voile in double pinch pleat that has really lifted this room and given privacy during the day.
