Emma Downie Interiors
Cambridge Residential
Interior Designer
Welcome to Emma Downie Interiors. I’m a residential, Cambridge based interior designer with a friendly and collaborative approach to creating spaces that are not only beautiful & functional – but that are also uniquely personal to you. My passion for colour, pattern & texture shows in the vibrancy of my designs. I strongly believe that the spaces we inhabit have a huge effect on our well-being and everyone deserves their own haven to come home to.

Services
I offer a range of different interior design packages in & around the Cambridge area, from a simple room consultation, to full project delivery. Take as much or as little help as you need.
Everyone is offered a free 30 minute discovery call to check that we are the right fit for each other. This is very much a collaborative process, in your personal space and good working relationships are key to a successful outcome.

I couldn’t recommend Emma more highly. Working with her was a dream! Emma truly listens and really gets to know you and your style. Ultimately, she came up with colours and ideas we would never have thought of or been brave enough to try ourselves. It saved us a lot of time and stress, and gave us confidence with our choices. We are delighted with the results. What we needed didn’t fit into any of her usual packages, so she came up with a tailored charging structure and was incredibly flexible. Thanks so much Emma for all your help and 10* service!

We’d got a bit stuck on figuring out how to decorate the living room. It was super helpful to have Emma’s fresh perspective on it. She came up with creative ideas, made recommendations and helped us think things through. She clearly knows her stuff and I would highly recommend using Emma.
Rob
Emma has been an absolute pleasure to work with on our new extension; turning an overwhelming task into manageable bite sized pieces and making the process enjoyable rather than a chore. She listened to our needs and preferences and developed a colour scheme and design that works brilliantly for both us and the space. We are delighted by the end result – by far the best dressed room in the house!

I’ve used Emma’s services twice now on a virtual basis and she has been amazing! Emma has worked with me to plan layout, style and procurement for both my study and en suite bathroom in the past twelve months. She is incredibly professional, has amazing attention to detail and great ideas that I wouldn’t have even thought of on my own. When there were issues with suppliers, she followed up in a timely fashion to resolve these and I would never have achieved the finished results without her expertise and knowledge.

We loved working with Emma turning three very ‘white’ rooms into spaces we enjoy and relax in. Emma is super professional, with a realistic approach, which made us feel very comfortable throughout the journey.
She is also personable and was hugely passionate about getting our project just right for us. Emma broadened our horizons and stimulated our thinking in a positive way. Thank you so much, Emma, we are so pleased with the result and have so learnt much too!

Emma has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in her field of design. I was tired of our once lovely snug living room. Emma listened to everything I requested and came up with some great colour and design ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of. Emma helped me to be brave with the bold colours, creating a warm cosy snug. I highly recommend Emma Downie Interiors.
Sharon
Thanks Emma for all your professional help and guidance with our hallway and bathroom, and at short notice. We were running out of inspiration at the end of a very large project and your ideas and advice were very helpful to us. We would highly recommend your services to friends and family in future.
Chas
Emma was a real pleasure to collaborate with. She accompanied me step by step offering two very detailed plans of what we could do and I am really pleased with the result! She divided the spaces in ways I didn’t think of. I would highly recommend Emma for her commitment, dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm.

I found Emma’s suggestions very helpful when we were looking for inspiration on how to decorate our new hallway. She really listened to the few ideas I had to get an idea of what we were looking for and what we wanted to incorporate into the room. She then suggested ways to improve and bring the whole style together which she presented in a beautiful mood board and a comprehensive shopping list. I am very happy with the result.

I cannot recommend Emma enough! From our first meeting to the final styling she has been on hand to support and advise on our lounge, hall & stairs project. She listens and takes time to understand what you want to achieve and advises taking consideration of your home needs and budget. Emma pushed us out of our comfort zone helping us to decide on colours we would have never considered and with an amazing result.
She also saved us so much time coming with numerous colour, material samples and ideas for furniture- we would still be looking now!
She would source items including soft furnishings to add the finishing touches
Thank you Emma, we love it !
