ABOUT

I am deeply passionate about interior design. I absolutely love how, a room can be entirely transformed by rethinking the furniture layout, adjusting lighting, integrating well designed built-in storage solutions, or simply by adding a few carefully placed cushions and curated accessories. The way these changes not only enhance the visual appeal of the space but also significantly influence how one feels within it never ceases to delight me.

My journey into interior design wasn’t conventional. I originally pursued a degree in chemistry, followed by a career in finance and pharmaceuticals. It wasn't until I took a break to raise my children and had the chance to extend and fully renovate our quaint two-up, two-down Victorian cottage that I rediscovered my true passion. Although I had always been drawn to art and design as a student, constantly rearranging furniture in my student accommodations and adding accessories to make the space feel personal, I was discouraged from pursuing it as a career and urged to keep it as a mere hobby.

Determined to turn that passion into a profession, I earned a diploma in interior design with distinction. I started by helping friends and family with their homes, and before long, Susie McKechnie Interiors was born. Now, with over a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of designing a wide range of residential spaces, from single-room refreshes to full-scale home renovations. Each project is a collaboration, and my goal is always to create a home that reflects my client’s personality, lifestyle, and aspirations.

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a space evolve into something truly special. I would love to help you transform your home into a place that feels as beautiful as it is functional. Let’s create something wonderful together.
