Hi my name is Denise Hardy and I love everything in connection with the home i.e. Interior Design, Hand Painting Furniture, Decorative Painting Techniques and Art.
I live in Alicante, Spain with my husband in a beautiful villa which we both love and work hard on making it our home. I have been established in creating beautiful homes since 1998 and never get tired of doing what I do.
INTERIOR DESIGN - Design and Decorating Service from colour design to preparation of wall surfaces and Decorative Finishes.

The Service
Decorative Ideas
provide a complete Design and
Decorating Service from colour design to preparation of wall
surfaces and Decorative Finishes.
Techniques include:
Colourwashing, Antique Distressed finishes (including my
own French Antique Style, Scumble Glaze Effects i.e. Rag Rolling,
Sponging, Stone Blocking, Faux Finishes including Marbling
and Stencilling.
Furniture
Why not have something different that can match or
co-ordinate with the colour of your room or furnishings, I can
either use furniture you already have and give it a new lease of
life or find something that suits your taste and hand paint it to
the desired effect.
See my page on Handpainted Furniture!
Remodelling your House/Apartment or Business
Premises?
Are you thinking of
revamping your House/Apartment or Business Premises? Then look no
further, I can do that too.
Would you like to update your kitchen cabinets?
Have you got a 'dated' kitchen with dark cabinets
or any other colour cabinets you don't like? Then you have
come to the right place. I can 're-vamp' them in lots of
different styles and colours and is a lot cheaper than buying all
new cabinets.
Please contact me at denise@decorativeideas.co.uk to discuss your requirements.
Colour Consultation
A Colour Consultation precedes all work
undertaken. A home visit will be conducted and advice given on
colour schemes and finishes. I work with existing fabrics and
furnishings to design a colour scheme appropriate to your
surroundings.
(Colour Consultations only - are also available
to customers).
Estimates
Following the Consultation, an Estimate for Works
and Cost of materials will be provided
A Consultation Fee of 50 euros per room is
payable prior to the visit, 50% of which is refundable if works
proceed. To confirm a booking, a deposit of 50% of the total work
is required. The balance is payable upon completion of
works.
For an Appointment to discuss my services in
more detail or if you wish to have a home
visit.
Please contact me at denise@decorativeideas.co.uk
Unfortunately this service is now limited to
surrounding areas of Alicante in Spain and Nottinghamshire in the
UK
Please contact me at denise@decorativeideas.co.uk to check if your area is included.
You will see in the pictures below, that I not only designed this house, but also hand painted all the furniture in my French Antique Style - this finish is my own 'recipe'. The commission was undertaken at a villa near Benidorm in Alicante, Spain
