About Claire Lori Design
Reclaiming the Heart of Your Home
Hello! I'm a South African gal living in the UK, with my partner, our teenage boys and my furry daughter, Cola.
I believe your home should be your sanctuary - a true reflection of who you are and a space that fundamentally supports your well-being. Based in Walton-on-Thames, my mission is to make thoughtful, intentional interior design accessible and affordable for everyone. You don't need a sprawling budget to make a profound difference in how your space looks, flows, and feels.
My work is guided by a deep respect for our planet and our mental health. I champion sustainable choices, favouring natural materials and the restoration of old furniture over the cycle of cheap, poor-quality flat-pack alternatives. By integrating biophilic design - bringing nature, greenery, and light inside - and creating highly organized, clutter-free environments, I design spaces that bring immediate calm to both your physical surroundings and your mind.
Think of me as your 'design fixer', ready to tackle your interiors challenge, ensuring that every inch of your home is utilised effectively, organised, and calm.
My Core Beliefs & Purpose
Intentional design should not be a luxury. Beautiful, functional spaces are achievable on any budget.
I believe in breathing new life into old pieces, choosing sustainable products, and protecting our planet.
A home free of visual chaos directly fosters mental clarity. Your environment should actively reduce stress, not create it.
I am passionate about supporting individuals who find home maintenance or organization overwhelming, including the elderly and neurodivergent individuals (such as those with Autism, ADHD).
Let's connect and discuss how we can transform your house into the custom home you've always dreamed of!

From Chaos to Calm:
Let's reclaim your space
Feeling disconnected from your home?
When a space isn't working for you, it impacts your daily peace of mind. You don't need a massive budget to make a massive difference - you just need an intentional plan. Whether you are navigating a busy family schedule, managing sensory overwhelm and ADHD, or looking after an aging relative, I specialise in removing the obstacles standing between you and a peaceful home.
Do any of these sound familiar?
-
The Overwhelm: You want a beautiful, organised home but simply don't know where to start.
-
The Clutter Trap: Physical "stuff" is building up, causing mental fog and blocking your room's potential.
-
The Routine Friction: An odd layout or limited space is making daily tasks feel stressful and frustrating.
-
The "Fast-Furniture" Hesitation: You want a character-filled home but are tired of cheap, flat-pack options that lack quality and harm the planet.
-
The Budget Blueprint: You want high-impact, expert guidance but are scared of making expensive design mistakes on a limited budget.
-
The Compromise: You and your partner have completely different design styles and can't find a middle ground.
My Approach: Empathy Meets Design
Claire Lori Design specialises in transforming these daily challenges into life-enhancing solutions.
My process is deeply collaborative, entirely non-judgemental, and focused on your well-being:
1
We define the obstacle
We look past the symptoms to find out exactly why a space is causing you stress or tracking clutter.
2
We connect with your vision
I get to know YOU - your daily routines, your character, your sensory preferences, and how you actually live.
3
We balance practicality with sustainable style
Merging clever storage solutions, biophilic elements, and budget-concious furniture restoration.
The result?
A highly tailored, affordable plan that breathes new life into your home and gives you the tools to maintain it.
"Your home should support your mental health and tell the story of who you are.
Don't let precious space go to waste - let's turn the chaos into your sanctuary."

My Clients Say
Edwina Brown,
Weybridge
"Claire assisted me with a full renovation of my two-bedroom flat, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Living overseas, it was invaluable to have someone on the ground who could manage the entire scope - from the kitchen and bathroom remodels, to selecting paint, colours, fixtures, and fittings. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she communicated everything clearly and consistantly throughout the process. I couldn't recommend her more highly."
Nicola MacLaren,
Edinburgh
"I've known Claire for years, so when she kick started her interior design business, I requested her expertise for my bedroom. I wanted warm, earthy tones of greens and burnt orange, and she turned my ideas into a stunning vision that reflects my personality. The colours, textures, and details were perfect. She also gave me links for curtains, paint, and how to add texture and finishing touches. Claire is incredibly talented with a keen eye for design. I was amazed by how well she translated my ideas. If you need someone who understands your vision and brings it to life, choose Claire!"
Laura Yates,
Weybridge
"Claire helped me design my bedroom following a renovation project. She had some fantastic ideas for colours and soft furnishings, was enthusiastic and keen to help. She found links for ideas and created a colour board for me, which was fab. She really helped me stretch my thinking and use for the space."
