ABout willow & Bert Interiors

Chloe Hannay

FOUNDER

For me, setting up home has always brought a chance to explore fabrics,  finishings, colour and pattern whilst working with the demands of each room. Willow and Bert has grown out of my lifelong passion for interior design and decorating.

As a child, I enjoyed watching my parents renovate houses and go antiquing for decorative items. I also loved looking through the home décor books they had around the house, imagining how everything would come together in a beautifully designed home. When my own children were tiny I went back to studying to learn the art of upholstery and curtain making, my first projects were for their bedrooms. This passion evolved and led me to start an interior design business in 2014.

I’m thrilled to share my passion of outstanding interiors with first-class design in homes across Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond.

SARAH

FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’ve always been creative, and a favourite childhood pastime was rearranging mine and my sisters’ bedrooms. Mine would be the room that had a considered colour scheme carried through the curtains, bedding and walls!

I originally started my career in PR & Marketing, and alongside this my husband and I renovated several properties in our spare time. In 2015 we had an opportunity to work with Neptune. We renovated a disused oast house in Canterbury, and 9 months later opened a Neptune franchise store. Since then, my experience has spanned interior design for residential, commercial and the holiday sector. Two of my client projects were finalists at Neptune's Design Awards in 2020 & 2021.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel, and have fallen in love with art, furniture and fabric around the world. I absolutely adore bold colour and rustic texture and could not be happier to be one of Willow & Bert’s colourful creatives!
