Technology: Your Virtual Design Studio, Anywhere on Earth

Living abroad is now no longer an obstacle to designing your UK property. Technology has revolutionised how we’re able to work with international clients at Flippa Interiors, making what seemed impossible a decade ago, feel not only seamless and easy, but surprisingly natural today. With properties ranging from London’s most exclusive luxury developments to a pied a terre in Henley and family homes in Oxfordshire our clients need our help for many reasons - fitting out a second home, relocating, or renovating an established UK bolt.

A Streamlined Approach for a Globalised World

Digital connectivity including video calls, interior design platforms and apps means that clients can review the progress of their project wherever they are in the world.  Video calls allow us to talk to clients face to face to discuss their project, do live ‘walk-through’ progress updates, and show samples, whilst screen sharing means we can adjust floor plans together instantly during an online meeting and detailed 3D renders eliminate any confusion about spatial concepts and how a scheme will look  – giving clients complete confidence in every decision they make. As a result, clients have worked with us from as far away as Pakistan, South Africa and Hong Kong.

A Real-World Success Story: The Benson Cheung Family

The experience of Benson Cheung and his family serves as a powerful testament to our capabilities. Relocating from Hong Kong, they first approached Flippa Interiors at the crucial stage when their new UK house was still under construction. Their objective was a comprehensive interior fit-out, meticulously planned and executed to be perfectly ready for their arrival in the UK a year and a half later.

Benson eloquently captured the essence of our collaboration: "Even though we were communicating from a different continent for over a year, it felt as though we were working closely together. The team took the time to understand our needs and paid careful attention to the details of our lifestyle and cultural background. Philippa, Hannah, and the construction team worked creatively, promptly, and diligently, from interior design to bespoke furniture and garden landscaping."

By the time Benson's family landed in the UK, ready to embark on a new chapter, we had overseen the complete decoration of their entire home. This included all painting, electrical works, bespoke cabinetry and joinery, and extensive landscaping of their garden. Their home was not just built; it was fully furnished and styled, a welcoming haven awaiting their arrival, where they could simply collect their keys and begin living. In his heartfelt testimonial, Benson reflected, "Their dedication resulted in a truly beautiful and functional living space."

The family was particularly impressed by our unwavering attention to detail. Benson elaborated, "One service that especially impressed my wife and me was the thoughtful preparation of an 'Essentials List' by Philippa and Hannah before our arrival. Thanks to this, we had all the daily necessities in place when we moved from Hong Kong to Abingdon, allowing us to enjoy our new home immediately and comfortably." This small, yet significant, gesture underscores our commitment to ensuring a smooth transition for our clients.

Unparalleled Service, No Matter the Distance

In response to a growing number of clients working with us from abroad and a UK based clientele that prefer online meetings for their easy convenience, we developed a streamlined five-phase approach to all our interior design projects. This was refined to specifically support remote collaboration for clients with busy lifestyles and works seamlessly across continents and time zones. We begin with our signature in-depth Colour Psychology & Style assessment – a sophisticated questionnaire that uncovers your authentic preferences without requiring any design vocabulary. This flows into detailed 2D layouts, technical plans and drawings, and photorealistic 3D renders that bring your vision to life on screen. Throughout the supply and project management phases, we provide transparent updates and handle every detail, from ordering samples to briefing trades, to final styling of your property
