Who we are:

We are a small team of skilled and passionate interior designers working in Central and North London, Brighton & Hove to help make your renovation dream a reality.

What we do:

Our aim is to create a stylish and beautiful home for you that is a pleasure to be in, while helping make the process as stress-free as possible. We can work through all aspects of your renovation including design, planning, and Project Management once work is underway.

We have extensive experience in renovating period and modern homes, including Listed buildings, and have excellent connections with a variety of specialists, suppliers and contractors. We’ve found these assets invaluable in helping solve problems that may arise during the works, to make your property shine. We are also able to help with Home Staging in preparation for selling, to help maximise your market potential.

Sustainability is a key focus for us, in project planning, sourcing of fittings and finishes, strip-out and recycling of existing fittings where possible. We are a founding signatory of Interior Design Declares, and understand the responsibility we have in reducing the impact on the environment caused by the construction industry.

We are BIID Registered:

We have proudly been a Registered practice with the British institute of Interior Design since 2019. Our Design Director Liz is Chair of the BIID Professional Practice Committee.

Our Founder:

Cat Hoad founded Absolute in 2007 after managing her own large renovation project. She identified a need for homeowners to turn to an experienced professional to advise on how to plan, design, organise and oversee renovations – reducing the time, stress and risk for the client.

Since founding Absolute, Cat has built upon her project management and attention to detail skills developed as a solicitor handling large City deals. She has accrued 15 years’ worth of experience planning, designing, executing and finalising home renovations in modern and period properties.
