I have been designing and renovating houses for the last 13 years. I grew up with parents who were avid DIYers, they managed and engineered all their projects and had the motto “there is always a solution”!
This certainly rubbed off on me and by the time I was 24 years old I had bought my first home, which had to be a renovation project. Ever since that first project in Peckham (before it was hip!) I have been a serial renovator! I’ve never done a renovation with a main contractor, favouring to project manage specialist trades.
From my DIY upbringing, I have been obsessed with how buildings go together and learning from all the many contractors along the way. Designing from practicality has formed my foundation as a designer, being so hands on has led me to respect the beauty of raw, natural materials.
I love getting involved and understanding how everything works together. Then coming up with new, exciting design ideas and learning how to implement them.
My history in home renovation means I design with practical knowledge and I know what will and won’t work.
I am exceptionally organised and run my business with in-depth steps that keep projects running to time and budget. Projects always run into problems but I have taken that motto that “there is always a solution” and we have the experience to find it.
Our Interior designer Surrey UK studio is based in Guildford, but we are happy to work with clients in all locations.
My previous career was as an actress and facilitator and so communication is always at the core of everything I do. I love connecting to people, delving deep and understanding what’s important to them. This connection is the most important stage of the design, this is how I create inspiring, unique interiors.
I am also a featured columnist for Surrey Rocks, sharing design tips and advice on all areas of Surrey interior design!
Sadie has proposed a beautiful concept for our kitchen and helped us to improve the internal layout of our architect’s plans, to get to a better use of space and an overall design which we really love. She is warm and easy to talk to, and her concepts really bring our project to life. We can’t wait to build our dream home!Rachel Guildford
Sadie is possibly one of the best interior designers I’ve ever worked with. A truly creative mind that can see through your lenses.
She saved us so much money that we were able to do a lot more with our budget. Sadie is now working on a large joiners project for us to go in the living room. I highly recommend her.

This lady is not only a joy to work with, but a special soul who understands what makes a home. Her boldness when it comes to style and eye for practical design make her a gift to the interior design world.

Sadie Pizzey has helped me achieve a really beautiful look in my home. She is so easy to talk to and provided lots of inspiration and exciting ideas – I loved how she helped me realise what I wanted from my interiors by showing me what was possible and how it could be done. Lots of wonderful things I just wouldn’t have thought of. Fantastic to deal with. Can’t recommend highly enough

Sadie Pizzey Interiors had been recommended to us for being passionate and enthusiastic, with a great eye for detail.Sadie helped to make our major restructuring (which even in the best of circumstances is a stressful time) bearable and ultimately very exciting. Through the stress and frustrations of the build, her ideas and enthusiasm for the project kept us focused on the wonderful reality of its conclusion.She has a wealth of knowledge, not only about design, but about budgets, suppliers and craftspeople. Sadie listened to our ideas and vision (such as it was) and was extremely patient whilst guiding us through the possibilities and keeping us realistic on prices (while ensuring the money was spent in the right place). She is so easy to talk to and helped us achieve a result way beyond our expectations. From choosing colours we’d never have considered, to textures, to pragmatic things like skylights and windows, her suggestions have been spot on.We couldn’t be happier that we met and commissioned Sadie and we recommend her without hesitation.Guy & Sarah WokingGuy & Sarah Woking
We want to say a massive thank you to Sadie, she has completely changed our lives by transforming our house. Starting with our living room, she has changed a tired, cluttered room into a calm elegant yet cosy sitting room. Her ingenious ideas and practical skills, while working completely within budget have created a brand new space – the room is so much bigger! I have gone from dreading the chaos at home to looking forward to relaxing in a space that is not only beautiful but feels like ours. She also transformed our bathroom, for the first time in my life I have a bathroom that I want to spend time in! It is a very small space but with the striking colours she has chosen and the clever space saving ideas it feels double the size. I have had one person ask me if we have extended our house! Sadie was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end, creative, talented, warm, friendly, professional and clear, she kept perfectly to budget, I will certainly be asking her to come back and make further changes in our house and can not recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Sadie!

Sadie helped us enormously with the redesign of our kitchen. The most difficult part of any project for my husband and me is for each of us to visualise what the other is suggesting, making it hard to come to any mutual decisions. Sadie listened to both our ideas and was able to translate them into mood boards and a plan which enabled us both to understand what the other was thinking, and progress our design process in a way that we were both happy with. Her plans then helped us communicate our ideas to kitchen designers before meeting with them, cutting down on the time we had to spend in kitchen shops – a blessing when attempting a project with two small children in tow! She also gave us some little design tips which we could implement immediately to utilise our existing space better whilst our kitchen project is still a work in progress.

We wanted to decorate our daughter’s nursery and Sadie made it really easy to bounce ideas around and get the perfect design. She knew exactly what colour schemes would work, made great furniture suggestions and had great vision for the layout. She was absolutely amazing and people are always commenting on how good our nursery looks.
