My Approach - Carole Crowe Interior Design
This is not about choosing cushions. This is about choosing the life you want to live.
Your home holds more than furniture, it holds your energy, your patterns, your pace, your future.
That’s why my work doesn’t start with colour charts or Pinterest boards.
It starts with listening. With understanding where you are, and where you’re going.
I design from the inside out.
Every project begins with connection, not just with you, but with everyone in your household. Partners with different needs. Children at different stages. Even your pets. Your home is a system, and every voice matters.
You’ll complete a carefully crafted questionnaire, designed to open up more than just style preferences. It will ask you to reflect. To pause. To begin seeing your home, and your life, in a new way.
From there, we meet for your Energy Activation: a two-hour, in-person session where I see your space, feel its energy, and begin to translate what’s no longer working into what’s possible. This isn’t just a review. It’s a reset.
A sacred threshold where your past and future meet, and the work begins.
What I see is often deeper than the space itself
Sometimes it’s clutter that’s holding emotional weight. Sometimes it’s a layout that’s creating stress or disconnection.
Often, it’s simply a feeling, that you’ve outgrown your surroundings and need them to meet you where you are now.
I tune into all of it, the practical, the emotional, and the energetic.
Because your home shouldn’t just look beautiful.
It should make your nervous system exhale.
My process is intuitive, thorough, and layered.
After our session, I begin an in-depth research and design phase. This includes:
– Analysing your responses and language
– Considering the needs and energy of every household member
– Exploring your favourite places, textures, tones, and shapes
– Studying flow, light, and layout
– Translating your words into visual emotion
Depending on the depth and scale of your project, I may use 3D visualisation to help you see and feel your future space before it’s built. This isn’t just about layout, it’s about helping you inhabit the life you’re stepping into.
This work honours everyone who shares the space
Your home holds layers of energy, yours, your partner’s, your children’s, even your future self’s. My role is to hold all of that with care and clarity, so the design supports not just how you live… but how you want to live, together.
Many of my clients are in transition, relocating to the North East from London or abroad, building a new home, or returning to their roots after time away.
Wherever you're coming from, we begin with where you want to land, emotionally, energetically, and physically.
From this, I build a design that feels timeless, functional, and emotionally aligned - one that will grow with you, support you, and tell your story.
This is transformational interior design.
If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to connect.
