Mariama Janneh Interior Design
Mariama Janneh Interior Design is an easy and convenient process. I provide a unique service for those who want a helping hand or an idea of how their interior could look without the cost or inconvenience of a project managed interior design service. No matter what your budget, I can help.
I work with every client differently. If you want to be involved in the design process from the beginning that's fine. If you want to leave the whole thing to me that's also fine! and you are welcome to call or email if you need to. Email preferred.
The first thing to do is take measurements and photos
Please do not worry about how your plan looks! A rough drawing will do. As long as I can read them that is all that matters. However there are a number of requirements which will help me produce your fabulous interior:
Use the metric system...
The USA are the only country that still use the imperial measurement system so please use CM or MM when noting down your numbers!
Measure all walls...
Remember that you will lose a few CMs from your skirting boards so please ensure you measure on the floor so that your measurements are accurate. The same applies to any cladding or dado rails.
Measure the windows and doors...
Include the height and width and remember to measure the distance from wall to window/door and height from floor to cill and top of window to ceiling.
Lighting and electrics...
Unless you are completely remodelling then please note on the plan where your sockets and switches are. Please include any wall lights.
Ceiling height...
Please remember this part. Most clients forget but it is important.
Other fixtures and fittings...
Any permanent features such as book cases, fireplaces or radiators need to be noted down and dimensioned. It is easy to forget but will enable me to draw the room correctly.
A client profile is a simple form that interior designers use to gather information about your likes, dislikes and requirements. This form is located on the BUY NOW page. I ask straight forward questions about your likes, dislikes and interior design style. Every question on the list in important so please try to answer all of them. If there is anything you don't understand please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my very best to help.
Uploads and attachments...
My form is very convenient. There is a section to upload your floor plan and photos and there is no attachment size limit so everything can be done in one sitting!
Photos...
It is important to take photos of the room in question. These will help me to understand the finer details of the room such as skirting board type, window style and door type.
Existing furniture...
If you are keeping any furniture then please take photos and upload them on the form.
Inspiration...
Any other pictures you think may be relevant such as a favourite possession that inspires you should be included on the form.
Payment...
All major cards via stripe are accepted.
You'll be directed to a separate secure checkout so everything can be done in one sitting. So it really is a super convenient process!
Aspect of the room...
This question refers to the direction the room/window faces.
Interiors are greatly effected by light and shadow and they both cause issues and a lot of headache for people have when deciding on a suitable colour scheme for their home. Having this vital information will help me decide on the right colour group for your interior so please include it.
Package selection & Multiple rooms
It can be confusing when it comes to choosing what you need for each room in your home.
Pricing is further down, however it is important to note that some rooms will require a larger package or smaller depending on what they currently have or don't have.
Basic Package
This is for finishing touches only. Do not select this package unless you have already decided on your general scheme and have your furniture already in place. This package will provide those final touches to bring the room together, such as cushions, lamps and artwork. This consists of as many mood boards that are needed and a shopping list.
This is package is also perfect for new build cloakrooms and bathrooms that just need a final touch.
Medium Package
This is for those rooms where you require a full scheme, however the room will have a set layout, such as built in wardrobes or the bed can only sit in one location, set bathroom layouts or living room bookcases that are fixed.
This package begins with mood boards and comes with visuals of the room and a shopping list.
Premium package
This is for rooms that are a complete blank canvas, meaning there are no set layouts to prevent a complete remodel of the room.
This package starts with a floor plan and layout and comes with mood boards, visuals of the room and a shopping list.
Premium 360
This package is best suited to kitchen remodels. It will give a complete 360 of the room, plus still visuals, mood boards, layout and shopping list. However, changes to the 360 will usually be required, therefore a small cost will be added to each change made. See further down for details.
The BUY NOW for has been redesigned for extra simplicity and convenience! The form can be used for multiple rooms. Each box can be used for however many rooms you wish to redesign.
Enter as much info as you wish for each room.
Once you have filled in all your info and requirements, you need to choose your packages. Simply tick the boxes you need and how many of each.
A discount is applicable on purchases of 2 or more rooms (excluding Paint Selection and Floor Plan & Layout.) is applied at checkout using the code Multiple20. (Please see further down for prices.)
So you've bought a package. What happens now?
STEP 1: We usually begin with the layout of the room. Sometimes this is an extremely quick process, sometimes it might take a day or two.
You will receive up to six layouts of your space and together we will decide which one works the best for you.
Client plans are simplified and easy to understand.
A key for lighting and other fittings are noted on the plan. Plans are also scaled with measurements.
For larger residential, commercial or construction projects, fully annotated technical drawings are provided.
Please do not book any tradesmen until the project is completed, as colours take a while to be agreed upon.
STEP 2: Sample boards or mood boards are visual aids that will enable you to see how the scheme will look. They include everything from furniture to accessories.
If you don't like it, I change it until you are happy, although this must be within reason. Every scheme will be produced to my interior design style and expertise so if I make a suggestion it is for a good reason.
Although we will go through everything together as we go along, your sample boards come with information, tips and tricks to help you make the best of your new interior.
STEP 3: The fun part! Once you are happy with the previous steps we move onto to 3d visuals and/or 360° video depending on which package you've picked, which will show you how your new interior will look.
Visuals are taken from each corner of the room and will include ceiling and floor.
Please make sure you're happy with the mood boards as making major changes to the model requires a lot of extra work!
All products are produced using CAD (computer aided design). This ensures accuracy in design and will give you a real idea of how your space will look. The location is set to wherever you live to ensure correct lighting and colour representation.
360° Videos
Premium 360° enables you see every detail of your new interior.
This is especially useful for kitchen and bathroom design where the technical details really matter.
You can control how fast or slow you view the video so you don't miss a thing!
How does this package work?
It works in the same way as the other packages. We follow the same steps as above.
Once you are happy with the visuals of the room, a 360 video will be made.
Due to the complexity of 360°, any changes to the 360° will incur a small fee, so make sure you are happy with the visuals before we get to this step!

I have over 10 years experience in remote, online interior design. I am one of the first to offer such as service and the first to shape the package system that others have taken on. Therefore my pricing reflects my experience, expertise and knowledge in this area. For discounts, see the BUY NOW page for details.
Others will offer a design time limit. This is ineffective in my experience. Complications can arise, needs can change. I will continue until you're happy with everything, as long as the format laid out is followed and within reason.
Discounts are automatically applied at checkout.
That's a lot of information! Just a couple of points left...
Discounts
If you have more than one room then there will be a discount. Simply contact me and tell me how many rooms you have and a price will be worked out for you. It will be no more than 20% off the total cost.
Can't find what you're looking for ?
If you don't need a complete package or cannot find what you are looking for please contact me and tell me what you require and I will do my best to help and work out a price based on what you need.
Customer Service
Customer service is very important to me. If you are not entirely satisfied with your design I will make any necessary alterations at no further cost to you. I will work very closely with you throughout and I will also send your design via email first and ask you if you are happy before sending the final package.
Home Visits
If you would like a home visit this can be arranged. Please get in contact if you wish arrange one. As stated before consultations are free but a travel fee will apply and this fee will depend where you are in the country.
If you would like to save money, FaceTime or WhatsApp are convenient and effective ways of showing me your home without the need for a visit. Please contact me to arrange a suitable time.
Commercial Design...
I am fully qualified to undertake commercial interior design projects and although residential design is my main focus, I am interested in small scale commercial projects.
If you do have a project and would like to use my service please contact me directly. All prices apply to residential projects only.
Trade Discounts...
Trade discounts are available on certain items including furniture, wallpapers and fabrics.
If you have a rental property I can help you design it with as little or as much as input as you need.
Whether you are in the process of developing from scratch or renovating an existing property, I can help you create an interior to appeal to all.
I can plan your kitchen and bathroom, help you pick a suitable colour scheme and get your property ready for the rental market.
All my rental market projects had varying levels of design. Therefore the set interior design packages may not be suitable for your needs. Please contact me and I can work out a price based on your requirements.
