We are Vaughan Design and Development, an all-in-one design and build solution working across Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex. Quite simply we make beautifully crafted homes on the inside and out. We are a family business; Will is the Project Manager, and Holly is the Lead Interior Designer. We have a team of skilled tradesmen, meaning we can take care of your entire project from start to finish, taking all of the stress out of the process and ensuring the result is your dream home. We also work on boutique commercial projects as well as projects that are construction only, or design only. Our clients come to us for the design they know Holly and her team will create, together with the ease of having Will and his team deliver it.
How would you describe your style?
"I am heavily influenced by Scandinavian design but rather than the clean modern, minimalistic approach I like to be a bit more playful with colour and texture. I like to use a mix of vintage and new furniture and accessories, and fabric plays an essential part in my designs."
Please describe a recently completed project or tell us about the bespoke service that you offer
"We recently finished a design and build for a residential home in Midhurst, West Sussex. This was a full design and build of a three-bedroom townhouse, with a single story ground floor extension creating much more space for the family to entertain and enjoy. We made the most of every space in this lovely home, making sure it worked for this family of three in their busy everyday lives. We ensured that our design was sympathetic to the period of the house, and injected a mixture of muted and bolder colours to bring the space to life.
We offer an in-house joinery service to our clients and this played a big part in the design. For this project, we created a library wall, bedroom wardrobes, a large double vanity in the family bathroom, and a banquette around the kitchen table that has storage space underneath. We used patterned and textured fabrics to recover some of the client’s old upholstery, and sourced many special vintage pieces to sit alongside a few new pieces. We always make sure that every room in the house flows but also has its own unique character that makes you want to spend time in there."
