About

Home life has changed a lot in the last 30 years, from how we socialise and spend time together in them, to the technology we use everyday. My Interior Design Service is here to make it easier for you to transform your home to suit you and your families lifestyles.

Using the latest CAD and Virtual Reality technology, we can show you exactly what the finished result will be like before a builder steps foot in your home, enabling you to make informed decisions.

I then create detailed working drawings for all the trades to follow, which also mean the builder's quotes can be far more accurate.
With my Sourcing and Project Management services, I help my clients from initial ideas through to completed project with the minimum of fuss.

My clients explain it better than I can, so whether it's a single space or a whole house renovation you have in mind, please read my reviews and then give me a call.

What you want in a designer-architect

We worked with David Aldrich to do a complete bathroom and bedroom remodel for our son’s small London flat. As other reviewers have noted David has excellent experience, knowledge, contacts, and creative problem solving ability and is a pleasure to work with. He undertook the design, sourcing, and project management phases and our son now has pleasant, well functioning rooms at a cost he could afford. David had general contractors he worked with previously make bids for the project. In my experience this is standard practice for any experienced designer or architect but nonetheless such quotes can come in much higher than expected. For David’s contractors we thought the bids were correctly priced - not being ripped off at this stage is perhaps the biggest cost issue. It’s also worth pointing out that having a good interaction with the general contractor is important and this is pretty much assured with David’s recommendations. We found David to be fully sensitive to cost issues and presented good options so the cost to quality trade off worked for us. Cost savings on cabinetry is part of his package - in our project scope for this was limited but was achieved by buying the wardrobes from trade with contractor construction. In the past over the years I’ve done 7 significant remodels (yes, ridiculous but I’m quite old now) and working with David rates equal first (along with one architect - an old friend who has now passed on). Very much recommended.

Excellent professional service. We had a tiny bathroom so needed a very careful design. David was thoughtful and took account of all our wishes. He gave us good clear advice about the options and came with me to purchase the fittings. He made a very stressful project easy. The final result is fantastic. Our bathroom looks amazing.

I was trying to create a new family kitchen in a country property in a room made by knocking two together. I knew elements of what I wanted but I was really struggling with a combination salesey kitchen shops, all my ideas, clippings from magazines and an utter lack of time to try and put together all my ideas. A friend recommended David and he was a lifesaver. He listened, he was practical, he helped pull all my ideas together, he was calm, he was both efficient and patient. He handled all the measurements and the layout, he got in competitive quotes for me, he helped on pricing management he managed suppliers for me and coordination with trades. I recommend David Aldrich extremely highly.

David designed and managed my kitchen revamping. He worked with me to think about my particular needs, big and small when designing the kitchen. He was creative in finding ways for my kitchen to work best for me and the results were truely life changing. I am now able to be independent in the kitchen despite being a wheelchair user. Works were completed on time and stress free as David coordinated everything from tradespeople to deliveries of appliances. David was also hugely helpful with making sure the snagging list was sorted and the plumber fixed an issue post-works. Fantastically skilled, helpful and thorough

If you want to do all the hard work yourself and know exactly how to coordinate a kitchen extension and refit then you don’t need David. If, on the other hand you see the benefit in working with someone who knows their way around all the interconnected details of planning an extension and a new kitchen, thinks of all the things you wouldn’t have, can advise on what things are worth spending money on and what things are not, will source and coordinate planners, builders, suppliers, architects etc etc then David is your man. David takes his job very seriously, is conscientious and accountable, holds other suppliers to account and gets the job done with good humour throughout all the twists and turns. A pleasure to work with and for us - well worth the investment for all the ways he helped us save money and think of all the right details.

David is an extremely patient man. We changed our minds several times over the months he was designing our kitchen, and he accepted each change with patience. He is experienced and knowledgeable about the products and services involved in kitchen construction. Importantly, David engaged kitchen constructers who were very pleasant to work with and very skilled. He introduced us to suppliers of most of the kitchen components. David project managed the work, and the result exceeded our expectations. I would recommend his services to anyone. It was a positive experience for us. Robert & Diana Owen

David was recommended to us when we were considering an extension and complete renovation of our home. We decided to work with him to plan our kitchen within the extension and the creation of a dressing room off of the master bedroom. His attention to detail was impressive and the VR presentation really helped us see what our new spaces could look like. He created the drawings and worked closely with the builder and architect to make sure everything went to plan. He was excellent at spotting potential problems and coming up with creative solutions. He also helped us source lighting and came with us to find the worktops we wanted. He has been very responsive in resolving snagging problems, even things which were not strictly his domain. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

Project: Side return extension, kitchen (re)design, ensuite bathroom conversion, window replacement and general upgrading of entire house. David's role: Design (inc. VR demo), product sourcing/procurement and project management Feedback: David went above and beyond with this project, helping us at every stage and through the significant complications created by Covid-19. His knowledge and experience was evident throughout, identifying potential problems and pitfalls of different design considerations. The VR demo was extremely useful to visualise the final design, particularly for a project with such significant changes. David was very hands-on (e.g. going to kitchen and tiles shops) and managed the communication with multiple contractors. In respect to budget, David helped us to balance the inevitable trade-offs that come up in any project. Overall, we would highly recommend David for his design and project management services.

Thanks for the review, it has been a pleasure working with you to create such a great space! I hope you can enjoy it for years to come.
Working with David in the creation of my new kitchen/dining room gave me an excellent result & was a good experience from design to completion.

I contracted David Aldrich to help me design a kitchen which would transform my family home. The kitchen was to be installed in what had been the sitting room. I had a clear idea of the elements that I wanted - such as a breakfast bar, an area for food preparation that would allow at least two people to work simultaneously, maximum storage, an optimisation of the light in the room and more. David helped me to find the best layout, with the most storage. I was so pleased with how we worked together and the value that he added, that I contracted him to help source the cabinetry, advice me on the white goods & supervise the build. It was a great success. He is very easy to work with, he listens well to the brief and explains things clearly. The issues that arose were dealt with well. I would recommend him strongly.

We engaged David Aldrich Design to help optimise the space in our three storey town house. David developed some really creative solutions to make the most out of our existing space, and we are now getting much better use of our home, in a space where the family can grow up comfortably. We are delighted with the way David worked with us to really understand our needs, and he integrated really well with us through all parts of the process. David also takes the hassle out of the design and planning work, as well as the actual building work, by listening to our requirements and coming up with great solutions in the first iteration, helping to source materials at a good price through his existing network, sourcing building contractors and not least, being that central point of contact throughout the build. David has kept in touch after the project finished to make sure everything has turned out to our satisfaction, and stepped in to manage a post-project warranty issue. We would not hesitate to recommend David; his designs, creative solutions and quality finishes are excellent, and most importantly, he cares about doing a great job.
