My name is Sue and I’d like to thank you for visiting our website, The Real Home Company, with ideas, tips and, hopefully, some inspiration for your home interior decoration and design.

I have always been interested and fascinated by home interiors, going back to when I was a child and visited the Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia in London with my family, on numerous occasions. My sisters and I used to fantasise about decorating our own homes. Over the years my focus has gone from childlike enthusiasm to a more practical adult approach.

I have completed a two year course in Home Interior Design at my local college with a City & Guilds qualification, which I passed with distinction. The course work and assignments included drawing up plans and elevations to scale, creating sample boards and writing descriptions for a written brief, as well as creating a scale model.

Now my complete focus is on interior design, reading magazines and books and watching the ever increasing number of TV shows about decorating, renovations and even architecture.

I have designed and decorated my own homes and have taken great satisfaction from being hands-on in helping friends and family in their homes. I like to think they are happy with my contributions as, to this day, they keep coming back for ideas and suggestions.

We at therealhomecompany.com now want to share our knowledge, experience and expertise, and our deep passion, with a wider audience to help others create their own gorgeous homes.
