I’m an interior designer based in Essex, helping homeowners create spaces that look beautiful, feel comfortable, and work brilliantly for everyday life. With a background in architecture and years in the construction and design industry, I combine creative vision with practical know-how, so every decision supports the way you live, the way your home flows, and the way it needs to function long term.

My aim is always the same: to deliver thoughtful interior design that balances aesthetics with usability, and turns a house into a home that feels genuinely personal. I take a hands-on approach and work in clear, affordable stages, which keeps the process flexible and aligned to your priorities and budget. I’m also married to a builder, so I understand the importance of getting the practicalities right, from build sequencing and feasibility through to the finishing details that make a space feel complete.

If your project involves building work, I can also advise on permitted development options at an early stage, helping you explore what may be achievable and where it makes sense to invest. Alongside design development, I can help with sourcing and procurement using trusted supplier relationships and trade accounts, often unlocking better value while protecting quality. From the initial concept through to the final styling, Joanne Lees Interiors is here to guide you with clarity, professionalism, and a calm, capable process that delivers a timeless result you will love living in.
