STYLISH MODULAR SOFA FOR SEATING AREA OF LARGE MASTER BEDROOM

Designed unusual modular sofa upholstered in black chenille with a selection of Abaca Cushions I found in the Philippines ....the sofa was created to for a lounge area in a very large Master Bedroom.  The Bedroom had amazing views so I wanted the sofa to be multi functional ...to seat comfortably watching TV or to lie on chaise side relaxing looking out at the splendid views of Nether Alderley……

Finding Art!.............By Laura McCree

I’ve just stumbled across this amazing lady ...for me this is all that I love about Art... karinvermeer.nl...powerful easy on the eye...and most importantly her work has a presence


I must be a frustrated artist...I find looking at Art sometimes totally tantalizing.... Art for me is meant to excite the senses or desires.....What fascinates me more than anything is the desires you can get when walking into a beautiful almost organic space and seeing a big powerful piece of art that shouts...SEX!  BEAUTY!  LOVE!  ...Sets off ones emotions inside and out...And the Art I choose has to touch all those senses...sight ...touch...& sometimes sound...

INTERIOR DESIGN TODAY...DONT IMITATE,,,,ORIGINATE! by Laura McCree


LAURA MCCREE EXPLAINS WHY SHE THINKS INTERIOR DESIGN NEEDS TO DRASTICALLY CHANGE DIRECTION




 “Interior Design today there are two categories: Imitators and Originators.  Imitators simply re-sell, re-colour and are out to purely make money.  Originators, however, are there for the consumers.  They’re the ones who make the difference.”

Interior Designer Laura McCree of Furnishing Emporium Designs Ltd

Stylish off the wall console tables..I designed these for my London Show room. Top white stained Ash with glass fronts

POLISH PLASTERED ROOMS - NOT FEATURE WALLS!!!!

Polish plaster walls are not to be injected into a space/room as a feature wall....to be quite frank it looks shit!!! Any amateur can do this...it’s what I call a quick fix.  Hall Stairs and Landings the perfect selection to finish the walls is white polish plaster.


A specialist hand in the craft of polish plastering - private project in Bowden Cheshire

Polish plastering for me is part of the build - space creation. 

Private client - Victorian property complete renovation. The polish plaster finish looked amazing - The polish plaster that I selected has a pearl sheen ...Truly stunning!!!

INTERIOR DESIGN - EN SUITE Neutra Collection, by Giulio Gianturco

Selecting product for en suites to large properties can be a difficult task as there will be at least 5 or 6 en suites to select product for. Many property developers & designers think that the same product should be used in all en suites apart from the master...for me this is a mistake...all areas should compliment..large properties should be a journey of design......one of my favourite designers of stainless steel wall mounted taps is NEUTRA COLLECTION BY GIULO GIANTURCO

PAINT ON FACE............LAURA MCCREE INTERIOR DESIGNER

BATHROOM DESIGN BY LAURA MCCREE

Almost of the properties that I get the opportunity to Interior Design have more than one bathroom en suite...Bathrooms should be a space of sanctuary...somewhere you can shut yourself off from the real world and just relax....I only ever use the natural stones in my designs as my bathrooms designs are always inspired by ‘Mother Nature’ herself.

WATER FRONT GLOSSY CHESHIRE MAGAZINE FEATURING LAURA MCCREE INTERIOR DESIGNER

When I was given the opportunity to write a number of articles for Waterfront a Cheshire glossy mag...I jumped at the chance.  Hopefully I Inspire people to get creative...that is one of my main aims of being an Interior Designer

John Lewis Advertising Campaign in line with the Daily Telegraph



Welcome to my very first post on this blog and the launch of this site.


Below is a quick outline of the collaboration between John Lewis and the Daily Telegraph's challenge to find 3 well known Interior Designers to design 3 creative spaces using John Lewis products.

The 3 chosen looks are:

  • Modern/contemporary
  • Traditional
  • Vintage

The mission was on for the Daily telegraph to now find 3 talented UK Based Designers - I was lucky to be one of them the other 2 the 1st a very talented Designer Michael Jewitt..{who did a small stint on Changing Rooms..but so small no one remembers him Ha ha hee hee} & last but not least Andrea Maflin. I am sure she is a very talented designer but I am not that familiar of her work. The challenge is afoot

But wait!...I get the bumb deal they gave me the hardest look of all Vintage! Even though JL products are great they are more geared up for traditional & contemporary not Vintage..but as all ways McCree {me! Being the most talented} grabbed the challenge with both hands.

As we develop the look out of our chosen products we will be filming in a studio in Clapham London & taking great shots through the process of creating the Interior designed room....watch this space the drama will unfold
