Why should I choose Camellia?
Hops and Camellias is an accredited interior design practice with a degree qualified team who have all chosen to make interior design their career – it’s their passion and their lifestyle. We are a ‘good fit’ with our clients, as we understand their lifestyle choice to be by the coast, compared to where they live and work the rest of the time. We are renowned for our skills with coastal colour and texture and get it right every time… (as our clients tell us)
Can you visit my property to discuss my design options?
Yes! We are always happy to make on-site visits and chat about your plans. (This is subject to a small fee and is variable depending on the location) Both our Consultancy Service and Showroom Service give you this option.

How long will our project take?
Every project is different and so the timescale will always vary. We offer a personalised and bespoke service on all of the properties we work on and this reflects in the project length. You will always be kept up to date about deadlines and a completion date will be agreed upon prior to starting the work.
How much will our project cost?
This completely depends on your project and which service level is chosen. Have a look at the different services Hops and Camellias can offer you and our pricing structures to see which service will be best for you and your project.
Do we need to use your tradesmen and architect?
Hops and Camellias has a network of trusted tradesmen and suppliers that we use, or can refer you to, but we are more than happy to work with your contractors! If they are good we probably know them anyway!
What is the Hops and Camellias style?
Hops and Camellias don’t have a particular style that we stick to. We specialise in luxurious coastal interiors, but by this we don’t mean nautical stripes and seagulls on sticks! We have an in-depth understanding of the coastal lifestyle and design on-trend, unique interiors for our clients to meet their needs.
Do you have fabric and wallpaper books to choose from?
Yes! We have an inspirational design library for you to look through at any time. Come and visit the practice in Truro to look at our extensive range and enjoy choosing which fabrics, paints and wallpapers are for you.
Can I have some samples?
Yes! After looking through the design options on offer, we understand that you’ll need to test how they work in your property. Simply let us know which ones you’d like a closer look at and we can order them for you to be delivered to the address of your choice.
If I order blinds/curtains can you fit them for me?
Yes! Hops and Camellias can measure, fit, supply and dress everything you’ll need to make your window look lovely! Book your measure-up and fabric selection appointment in your own home, and once the details have been finalised, you can place your order.
What are the lead-times when placing orders?
When placing orders on fabrics, wallpapers, blinds, curtains and furniture the lead-time is the industry standard of 6-8 weeks.
What is your policy on refunds?
We want you to be entirely happy with the service you receive from us. If you are unhappy with any Hops and Camellias product purchase, you will be given a refund in the form of a gift card to spend within Camellia.
Do you have stock ready to buy off the shelf?
We have some stock on site ready to buy and take away the same day. However, we would always recommend calling the studio on +44 (0)1872 248952 first to check before making a special trip.
