Our success is built on a reputation of excellence, honesty and professional

many repeat clients we work with and their positive referrals.
With pride in our past achievements we continue to push the envelope and
deliver beyond expectation. An example of this success was a complete
interior design and refurbishment project for a villa in the South of France.
Upon completion the development sold for four times the
original purchase price. This was achieved by offering a flexible approach
to budget and time frame.
3. OURMETHOD
Our method is remarkably cost-effective making tight deadlines manageable.
When building works are required, we collaborate with trusted builders and
other specialist consultants to provide the right blend of skills and resources
to the project.
The most complex of problems is matched with the most elegant of solutions.
Each crucial stage of the project is identified from the start. Nothing is left
to chance. We set goals to be reached by a specific date with an
uncompromising delivery of a quality result.
DESIGN FEES
We operate on either a per room basis and charge a small fee for our interior
design services, or charge a percentage of the overall project spend. This
covers the initial time spent researching options and obtaining costing for
the project. We will then work to your budget and will provide you with a
complete outline of expected costs.
You will never pay more than retail price for furniture and accessories sourced
by us and another benefit of working with Urban Cape Interiors is that we
aim to pass on trade discounts wherever possible.

“Charlotte and Sarah were great in helping me sort out my new house. The service
is personalised and friendly and nothing is too much. Work was completed in a
timely, affordable manner and on budget. From indoor bespoke wardrobes to
new guttering they had solutions for everything. Given the discounts they receive
and pass on the service probably worked out cheaper than doing it myself and
obviously more time effective. I would be happy to recommend them to others
and would definitely use them again”!

“I have employed the services of Urban Cape to assist with the interior design
of our master bedroom and sitting room as well as to project manage the full
conversion of our kitchen. I have found their services to be excellent - they have
access to high quality furniture and fabrics, great suppliers and tradesmen and
take all of the difficult legwork out of both the interior design and building process.
They delivered on time and to budget and were very collaborative in their approach,
truly listening to what I wanted and where my budget was at, but also providing
innovative and stylish ideas and solutions. The trades people they employ are
knowledgeable and skillful, and I was always satisfied with the result. I would not
hesitate recommending the services of Urban Cape!"
G&D Finkel Fulham
I got to know Charlotte and Sarah during a very busy time of my life; I was a
new mum. I had various rooms that needed dressing, from a dining room to
guest bedrooms and wanted them to have a homely feel to them. With a four
month old my attention was on my daughter and I did not have the time nor the
inclination to do the legwork myself; this is where the girls came in. They helped
me manage the budget and provided numerous options in order to get the desired
USE, PARSONS GREEN look. Both were very quick and efficient at coming back to me with their ideas
