Susan Deliss has an international following for the unique collection of weaves, prints and embroidered braids that she has created, most of which are made in England. Susan sells limited edition cushions, hand-made lamps and lampshades and upholstered furniture plus a frequently replenished stock of decorative objects and fine art, ikats, spectacular suzanis and kilims. Many items can be made bespoke to clients' specifications. All decorative, beautifully made, useful and highly individual. Susan's designs complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. In the USA Susan's fabrics and wallpapers are available directly from her London studio and via John Rosselli, Nickey Kehoe, Fritz Porter and Wells Abbott.
Susan has a small but very busy interior design studio. Current work is in England, Colombia and on several homes in the USA, including in Palm Beach and LA.

"My style involves combining colour, pattern and design to give each home with a feeling of personality, unique to its owner. I mix antique and new textiles, creatively combine wallpapers and paints, often printing or weaving bespoke textiles and wallpapers, and source furniture and decorative objects‚ rarely from the more obvious channels, but instead from my travels and extensive contacts. I help my clients see the potential of their house in a new way, without them having to let go of their own or the house's story. No two of my interiors will ever look the same as each other."
"I redecorated an entire Georgian rectory in the English countryside. Six bedrooms, three bathrooms, three sitting rooms, a kitchen, dining room and lots of hallways. I got a brief from the clients, then interpreted and distilled this in a way that would suit the house and the clients' lifestyle, but also gave them something original without being too modern or conspicuously decorated. I designed the entire scheme for the house, sourcing wallpaper, curtain fabrics and paint colours for every surface. I found all of the tradesmen, project managed along with the client, and commissioned a lot of bespoke items for the house - antique linens from my stock were hand-dyed to go with wallpaper; wallpapers were hand-printed; walls were lined with hand-printed fabric that I source in Paris; tiles were hand-painted to fit the bathroom with Iznik patterns from Turkey."
