Portrait of Gráinne, founder of Ida May Interiors

About

Design with you, not at you.

Hello, I'm Gráinne — the founder of Ida May Interiors. I've been designing homes and commercial spaces across the UK since 2016, working quietly alongside my clients to make rooms that feel warm, considered, and genuinely theirs.

Good design isn't about trends or big budgets. It's about listening closely, understanding how you actually live, and making the small decisions that add up to a home that feels right.

A well-designed room does quiet, daily work on your mood. Meaningful keepsakes, family photos, the right light, a colour you genuinely love — these things lift you, soften the edges of a hard day, and make coming home feel good.

How I work

A few honest principles.

Warm, not precious

Rooms are for living in. I design for the real life that happens in them — kids, pets, parties and all.

Your voice, not mine

I don't have a signature look. I have a signature process — listen first, then design around what you love often using what you already own.

Clear and honest

Plain language, clear pricing, realistic timelines. No designer mystique, no gatekeeping, full transparency.
