01 about

With a background in fashion and product development, I became interested in interiors when I moved to the UK from Australia 30 years ago. My experience in textiles led me to work in interior design, spending my days putting together schemes for clients and getting a feel for the diversity of product available.

Having found myself increasingly drawn to space planning and with a particular interest in historic buildings, I would devour books on architecture and was fascinated with how different styles developed throughout Europe. Subsequently I undertook a degree in Architecture at Kingston University, continuing my studies today with a Masters in Historical and Conservation Architecture.

My personal style is mostly devoid of fleeting trends and fashions, and I don’t dare to be different just to be different. Listed buildings require sympathetic restoration but it is important to be able to flex in whatever direction will result in the most successful outcome. I aim for a timeless approach, mixing old with new, layering textures and allowing the properties original charm and character to sing whilst balancing the historic layout with the needs of contemporary living. Embracing the history and stories that come with an old property is an important part of the process, as is the quality of light, perspective and the orientation of each piece used. Combined with the wonderful fabrics, textures and product on offer today it is possible to create a unique home for each client to enjoy for many years.

Let me start by saying that Meredith is the consummate professional. Knowledgeable, creative, assertive, she is a pleasure to work with. Her architectural background is evident in her ability to interpret floor plans and layouts, maximising the space to its full potential. With a very busy job I had little time to discuss details, and with free reign Meredith was able to interpret my thoughts creatively whilst at the same time keeping on top of the management of tradesmen. Overall I found Meredith to be responsive and reliable in her involvement, resulting in a highly creative design that has pulled together my many years of collecting eclectic artefacts from around the world.

Meredith is an exceptional interior designer who helped us transform our period property into a beautiful and functional family home. Having just bought our first period property we found ourselves overwhelmed with the enormity of the design decisions ahead. We had no idea where to start, and we were worried about making the wrong decisions. We decided to hire an interior designer to help us, and we are so glad that we did! What started as a small brief to help with electrical plans quickly turned into a full-scale renovation of every room in the house.
Meredith’s design expertise, attention to detail and support throughout the project made the journey almost enjoyable. During the 6 months we worked together, both my wife and I found Meredith to be to be patient, calm and professional.

Our experience with Meredith Brodie has far exceeded our expectations. She is incredibly talented and creative, her vision of how a room can come together was inspirational while always ensuring it met our needs, budget and likes. Without Meredith our home would have been a mix of greys and creams, it’s now a stand out property that gets the wow factor from all our guests.

Excellent client service and acute attention to detail would best describe my experience with Meredith Brodie Design. I wanted uniqueness to my new home with a very personal touch. After an initial consultation, Meredith quickly came back with a comprehensive choice of imaginative designs and suggestions. Prior to this I had been working with a completely blank canvas with very little inspiration or experience. Meredith turned what was a daunting task into a pleasurable experience. I was most impressed with the imaginative blend of natural materials and fabrics which intermingle beautifully throughout the property. It was very refreshing to feel my own basic ideas heard and then refined and realised with impeccable taste throughout the process.
