Another Shade is an interior design studio based in Hampstead, London. Founder Suree Dilley started the studio after years gathering experience in the highest calibre design environments such as the interior design studio of renowned international developer Candy & Candy and Jestico+Whiles. Her work in luxury residential and hospitality ranged from London and International.

Now working independently, Suree’s formative years studying for a degree in architecture and an MA in interior design, have inspired her to effortlessly blend her learning from the west and the east into refined and exquisite interiors.

She sees the disciplines of architecture and interior design as complementary, approaching every design challenge as a spatial as well as decorative opportunity. Suree works through the subtle crafting and composition of light, tone, form and proportion, texture, and is fascinated by natural materials and authenticity, simplicity and refinement. Her innate design eye allows her to unite these essential elements to create elegant, timeless and fresh spaces.

Suree will take you on an enlightening design journey. She will listen and work with you, giving clear, calm advice to create reviving and exquisite interiors that will enhance your way of life. Consistently taking clients beyond their expectations is her ultimate goal.

The Journey

The famous saying goes “Life is a journey, not a destination.”

At AnotherShade, we understand that both are critical to the client, and neither should be neglected in favour of the other.

Design for many people is uncharted territory, and can be daunting. So, Suree will expertly and calmly guide each client on a tailor-made and exciting design journey.

Every journey must have a destination, and so the first contact will be focused on listening, to draw out the client’s brief which will then be agreed.

Following that, mood boards will be produced, indicating similar projects and materials, along with preliminary hand sketches. By listening carefully to the client’s emotional reactions to these, and advising them along the way, Suree will capture the spirit of their aspirations in a way that cannot be captured in the written word.

These will be followed by more developed hand sketches of the key spaces, and these will be beautifully presented with sample swatches of key materials, composed in a way that the client can understand how they will feel in the executed project.

Depending on the type and complexity of the project, realistic digital visuals will be commissioned to show the client exactly how furniture, fittings and finishes will look and feel in the space. These can be used for exploring alternative colour ways if required, Suree will offer guidance and professional companionship, while always respecting the client’s wishes.

Her goal is to use all her experience to give the client every confidence in areas which may be unfamiliar. But, above all, she will do all she can to make the clients special journey full of enjoyment.
