Founded in 2012 by Sara Slade, Sara Slade Interior Design is a luxury interior design studio delivering fully managed residential projects.
The studio is led by Sara, who brings nearly 30 years of experience across the interior design and construction industry, and is supported by an in-house design team who work across concept development, detailing, coordination, and delivery. This internal team structure ensures continuity, accountability, and a consistently high standard throughout every project.
Alongside our studio team, we bring together and manage a wider network of trusted architects, contractors, and specialist trades. We take responsibility for coordinating this full project team on our clients’ behalf, acting as the single point of contact and removing the need for clients to manage multiple relationships or decisions.
We work with professionals and business owners who value exceptional design but do not have the time or desire to oversee the process themselves. Our role is to provide clarity, reassurance, and structure, allowing clients to remain involved at a level that suits them, without the stress of day-to-day management.
Our service is fully end-to-end, covering concept design, space planning, interior architecture input, finishes, lighting, joinery, furniture, and final installation. Every detail is considered in the context of the whole, ensuring the finished home feels cohesive, refined, and effortless to live in.
Clients choose Sara Slade Interior Design for our experience, craftsmanship, and our ability to deliver complex projects with confidence and calm.
"Design is only one part of what we do. Our real value is in managing the detail, the people, and the decisions, so our clients have one clear point of contact and a calm, structured experience from start to finish."

Project Management
How do you keep a complex design and build project moving forward without it taking over your time or attention?
Renovations and new builds involve constant coordination between designers, architects, contractors, and specialist trades. Without strong project management, clients are often pulled into day-to-day decisions, conflicting advice, and issues they should never have to resolve themselves. Our role is to absorb that complexity and provide clear, consistent leadership throughout.
We manage the project on our clients’ behalf, coordinating all consultants, trades, and suppliers to ensure everyone is aligned and working towards the same outcome. We oversee timelines, information flow, and decision-making, resolving issues as they arise and keeping momentum without compromising quality.
Rather than reacting to problems, we anticipate them. Our experience allows us to identify potential risks early, address them calmly, and make informed decisions quickly. This prevents delays, reduces costly mistakes, and protects both the design intent and the level of investment being made.
Clients remain informed and involved at a strategic level, with clear communication and regular updates, but without the noise, pressure, or interruption that typically accompanies construction projects.
This service replaces uncertainty with structure, and oversight with confidence, allowing our clients to focus on their work and lives while knowing their project is being managed properly.
White-Glove Installation & Styling
How do you bring hundreds of decisions, deliveries, and details together without chaos at the final hurdle?
The installation phase is where projects often become most stressful. Multiple deliveries arrive at once, pieces need positioning, adjustments are required, and last-minute decisions can derail months of careful planning. Our role is to take full control of this stage so our clients don’t have to manage, coordinate, or troubleshoot any of it.
We coordinate all deliveries into a central location, checking and preparing each item ahead of installation. Our studio team then works alongside trusted white-glove installation specialists to deliver, install, and style the space in a calm, carefully managed sequence.
Every element is placed with intention, adjusted in context, and refined on site so the home feels balanced and complete. Nothing is rushed, nothing is left unresolved, and clients are not required to be present unless they wish to be.
This stage is often described as the moment everything finally comes together. You arrive to a finished home that feels considered, coherent, and ready to enjoy, without having had to navigate the disruption that typically comes with the final phase of a project.
FF&E: Furniture, Lighting & Finishes Specification
How do you make the right decisions when every product choice carries cost, lead time, and long-term consequences?
FF&E is one of the most demanding and high-risk stages of a project. Clients are faced with thousands of options, complex specifications, long lead times, and significant financial commitment. Left unmanaged, it creates decision fatigue, delays, and costly mistakes. Our role is to take responsibility for this entire process and remove that burden.
We specify furniture, lighting, materials, and finishes as an integrated part of the overall design, ensuring every element works together both visually and practically. Our studio holds accounts with thousands of leading suppliers, makers, and manufacturers across the UK, Europe, and worldwide, giving our clients access to an exceptional global resource without the need to navigate it themselves.
Rather than presenting endless choices, we curate and recommend the right products for the project. Each selection is considered in terms of scale, proportion, performance, craftsmanship, lead time, and how it will be used in day-to-day life. This allows decisions to be made efficiently and with confidence, while protecting the quality of the final result.
Our expertise safeguards clients from mismatched elements, unsuitable products, and short-term decisions that fail to perform over time. It also ensures the finished interior feels cohesive, resolved, and appropriate to the level of investment being made.
This service removes uncertainty and mental load, while delivering interiors defined by quality, craft, and thoughtful detail.
Luxury Renovation & Interior Design
This service is designed for clients making a significant investment in their property who want confidence that the project will be handled properly, without becoming a drain on their time or attention.
Complex renovations, particularly those involving heritage properties, bring layers of technical, planning, and construction challenges. Left unmanaged, these projects demand constant decisions, create uncertainty, and expose clients to unnecessary risk. Our role is to remove that burden.
We work closely with architects, builders, and specialist contractors from the outset, taking responsibility for coordinating the design intent across all parties. By providing clear, detailed, construction-ready information, we reduce ambiguity on site and prevent problems from escalating into delays or costly errors.
As the build progresses, we anticipate issues before they arise and make informed decisions quickly, so clients are not pulled into day-to-day problem solving. We balance the original vision with the practical realities of construction, ensuring progress continues without compromising quality or craftsmanship.
We act as the constant throughout the project, particularly valuable on heritage builds where sensitivity, consistency, and judgement are critical. Clients remain informed and involved at a strategic level, but are protected from the noise, pressure, and complexity of delivery.
The result is a renovation that feels controlled, well-managed, and aligned with the level of investment being made, and a finished home that honours the character of the building while functioning beautifully for modern life.
Full Residential Design Service
This service is for clients who want an exceptional home, but do not want the mental load that comes with designing, coordinating, and delivering it.
From the outset, our role is to simplify the process and take responsibility for bringing everything together. We begin with in-depth consultations to understand how you live, what matters to you, and the standard you expect. From there, we create clear, considered concept designs that give you confidence in the direction early on, removing uncertainty before it can turn into overwhelm.
As the project progresses, our studio leads all technical design and detailing. We translate the vision into coordinated, construction-ready information, including layouts, interior architecture input, joinery design, lighting plans, and detailed finishes schedules. This ensures builders and trades have exactly what they need, and prevents our clients from being pulled into day-to-day problem solving.
Decision-making is managed carefully and thoughtfully. Rather than presenting endless options, we curate and recommend solutions that align with the overall design, the budget, and the level of craftsmanship required. Clients remain involved, but are not burdened with unnecessary choices or conflicting advice.
We take responsibility for cost coordination, procurement, and supplier management, working with trusted professionals and makers who share our standards for quality and reliability. Our clients do not need to chase quotes, coordinate deliveries, or resolve issues. We manage the detail and the relationships on their behalf.
The final stage is where everything comes together. We carefully coordinate delivery, installation, and styling, managing every detail so the home is completed calmly and properly. This is the moment the design is fully realised, with each element placed, balanced, and finished as intended.
Clients often describe this stage as the most satisfying part of the process. Instead of juggling logistics or last-minute decisions, you walk into a finished home that feels cohesive, considered, and ready to enjoy. It’s the point where months of planning translate into a space that looks beautiful, works effortlessly, and feels unmistakably yours.

We handle everything from initial concept and space planning through to specifications, procurement, coordination, and final installation. You deal with one point of contact while we manage all consultants, trades, and suppliers on your behalf. The result is a smooth, well-organised process with no unnecessary stress and no loose ends.
