About – CasaNora

Who We Are

After studying Fashion Design at AIU (American University in London) I started my career in fashion
designing evening wear and wedding dresses in 1989.

In 2007 I decided to work in property development which led me to KLC School of Design and then
started my career in Interiors. I have since specialised in kitchen and lighting design. I worked with Clive
Christian and Simple Interiors for many years and finally in 2014 opened my showroom in Putney
working on kitchens, bathrooms and Interiors. Alongside this work I enjoy occasionally being invited as a guest lecturer for Kitchen design at KLC and sharing my experiences and top tips.
My passion and speciality is space planning. Considering the new style of living is open plan it is important to bring the whole area together. I love creating flow and harmony by making the space stylish, unique, luxurious yet practical. A home designed especially for you to enjoy.

I love experimenting with textures and colours. I want you to feel a gradual transitions of colour from one room to the next, with special attention to the mood and balance in that space. Whether your home is modern or traditional, my priority is to offer you a full design service for all your needs. I work with you in mind. When you look at my projects you will see that each is very individual to the client. I create the space and the palette to suit you, as I am great believer that us designers are there to create the perfect space for you.
I am only with you during the design and implementation process, and when my job is done I want to leave you in your home that you will love and enjoy for many years to come. I take care of every detail; from the largest piece of furniture to the smallest dining accessories. All you need to do is enjoy the experience of creating your own timeless and beautiful home.

CasaNora has produced a kitchen of the most exacting standards and on budget. We are quite particular and wanted a new kitchen/ diner space that would sell the whole house. We have certainly got that, and CasaNora was meticulous in achieving the look with their expert installation teams. Nothing was too much of a problem, indeed they identified snagging issues, which we would have missed initially. Issues were resolved quickly and in a collaborative way. It has been a pleasurable experience, and one I would gladly repeat.

TIM WILLIAMS

Nora at CasaNora was enthusiastic and full of useful tips and advice from the moment we entered their show room. She took on board our requirements and detailed an ideal kitchen with features and appliances that perfectly matched our refurbishment. The most notable factor though has been the after care. Nora and her team have responded swiftly and effectively to rectify and improve any area that we had even the mildest of issues with. An extremely good, professional and friendly service from design, through fitting and then after care.

TIMOTHY RIDELL

I can’t say enough great things about Nora, she has worked on two Major projects for me, the first project was redesigning the whole house including kitchen and bathrooms which rented immediately. The other was our home which again which she completely remodelled we are thrilled with the results. Nora is very patient and kind she really listened to my concerns and ideas. It was a great pleasure to work with her and feel so fortunate to have found her. Highly recommend!

SUZIE MACFARLANE

I would highly recommend Casa Nora as the complete interior design project. The service from start to finish was responsive, the choices available in all aspects from flooring to fittings to furniture was diverse (although a definite preference to high class Italian design) and the builders/workers associated with Nora were top class, tidy, and punctual.

GARY SKOVRON

I hired Casa Nora to do the interior of my house and design a kitchen after having an extension done. The service was great. Nora went out of her way to help me choose unique furniture for my house. She and I spend many hours perfecting the design of the kitchen, from the layout to the finest detail in the finishing. Would highly recommend Casa Nora for the first class service she offers.

MARINA ABBO

I used Casa Nora for the whole refurbishment of my apartment. I live most times in Thailand and everything was done while I was away. I picked colours and materials by email. Nora was very professional in every way. She has a very good set of builders, plumbers and decorators under her control. I would not hesitate to recommend Nora to anyone.

How We Work

Every project is treated individually and to your needs, wish list and budget. On your first visit we will discuss your project and the details. Whether the project is for a kitchen, bathroom, interiors, lighting, complete refurbishment or just as simple as adding wallpaper for the hallway, no project is too small – just ask!

We will then advise the next steps and we can generally work to tight schedule or long term planning. We have worked with the same team of architects and builders for a long time, so if you preferred we could do the entire project for you.

We work with various manufacturers including Doca kitchens from Barcelona, bespoke German kitchens, Italian furniture, wardrobes and lighting, French accessories and Belgian wallpaper, as well as wood flooring, various appliances… with a quick turnaround for deliveries of 5-6 weeks.

Feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to help 🙂

Showroom

The showroom is an extension of all my creative thoughts! I love beautiful design and unique pieces. We are all individuals and our living space is a reflection of that. I am here to show you how and guide you all the way

I tend to change the showroom frequently, so you might see something today which will be totally different 6 months later, because I believe it’s important to introduce new ideas. With all my travels I am inspired by nature, animals, flowers, music and daily life. I hope you have time to come and see for yourself all the possibilities, colours and design that will inspire you not only today but every day.
