Creating an incredible space as an expression of a vision is one thing – ensuring that it fits in with people’s lives and practical needs is entirely another.
Mark Taylor Design balances functional planning with beautiful, inspirational design. Our team has an innate understanding of aesthetics as well as how people exist in spaces, ensuring that what emerges not only looks but feels wonderful to use.
Our creative approach is limited only by imagination, and budget. We aim for creative but collaborative bravery in every client relationship we undertake – whatever the price tag – with the aim of designing unique rooms using the most exciting palette of materials within the budget available.
Mark is the driving creative force behind Mark Taylor Design, and has over 30 years of respected, sought after interior and furniture design and manufacturing experience.
He has a deep appreciation of functional design, working with quality materials and craftsmanship, and has worked across the whole range of environments – from the most modern to the most traditional.
Mark surrounds himself with a hand picked, bespoke team of experts to contribute to his vision.
