You’re here because you’re ready to elevate your home, whether that means a fresher look, a more cohesive style, or extra space through a renovation or refurbishment. Joanne Lees Interiors gives you a clear plan and confident decisions through expert interior design services, so every choice works together, layout, flow, colour, finishes, lighting and furniture, creating a home that feels effortless to live in and impressive to come home to.
If you’re planning an extension, we can also guide early thinking around permitted development, helping you understand what may be achievable and how to make the space work beautifully from day one. From refining one room to shaping a full-home vision, an experienced interior designer helps you bring your ideas into focus, spend wisely, and achieve a result that’s personal, practical and genuinely uplifting.
ABOUT ME
I’m an interior designer based in Essex with a genuine passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces that reflect how you live. With an architectural background and years in the construction and design industry, I bring a practical, build-aware approach to every project, helping you maximise space, improve flow, and make confident decisions that stand the test of time. I’m also married to a builder, which means I’m constantly balancing what looks incredible with what works in the real world, from structure and sequencing through to finishes, budgets and the details that make a home feel complete. This is especially valuable when you are planning a renovation or refurbishment, because the right choices early on can save time, money and stress later.
I grew up in a creative family, so an eye for detail comes naturally to me, and I love combining that creativity with thoughtful planning to create homes that feel warm, personal, and easy to live in. I work closely with my clients in a hands-on way to make sure your vision is realised, and if your project involves building work, I can also guide you on what may be possible under permitted development so your ideas stay realistic and achievable from the start.
