Commercial Services
Elaine Skinner works personally with holiday let agencies, estate agents, architects, developers and builders to ensure the best possible results for their client projects. Elaine’s commitment to keeping her practice boutique means all clients get to work with her personally. This close interaction enables her to deliver a highly individual and tailored service, whilst giving fellow business owners complete peace of mind that their project is in the best hands and service they could hope for on behalf of their clients.
Holiday Let Agencies | Furnishing or refurbishing a holiday let
Elaine and her team are experts in the luxury holiday lettings business, we specialise in unique, distinctive and timeless, premium revenue driven interiors for the very best homes and holiday lets across Cornwall and beyond. Our work increases a property’s desirability, revenue (by at least 25%) and booking rates throughout the year and we are used and recommended repeatedly by the county’s top, luxury agencies.
Estate Agencies | Helping potential buyers
Elaine helps estate agents advise potential buyers on suitable investment properties, how to best maximise a property’s potential and add value, plus working with clients who are struggling to sell, with bespoke price point packages to suit their clients needs. Like structural surveyors Elaine carries out interiors surveys to illustrate what a potential buyer could do with a property, the costs involved and the expected ROI, adding saleability and often value.
Show homes & Home staging
Elaine also specialises in show homes and home staging, she totally understand the local market place, so is much more effective than using a national brand. As an expert in show home and home staging, Elaine frequently works with developers to help prepare and present properties for sale, so you can be sure of a premium return on your investment and ultimately a successful and speedy sale. You can see examples of her recent work in our case studies section.
Developers and Contractors | Specifying detail
Elaine assists developers and contractors by taking over the design details of a project. Using Elaine ensures luxury developments don’t have a generic feel to them and make them desirable, individual and ultimately saleable. It also means projects aren’t held up by homeowners trying to make these decisions on their own.
Hospitality | Fitting or Re-fitting.
Elaine is part of Skinners Brewery, so it’s her job to keep abreast of what’s happening in the hospitality industry. She travels regularly and fully understands what is going on in this competitive industry. She has worked with, sometimes on very tight budgets, city bars, coastal restaurants, accommodation providers and a local girls’ school to deliver functional yet inspirational designs. Elaine will balance your business model, customer experience and aspirations with your budget, whilst creating comfortable and desirable interiors your clients want to be part of and keep returning to, maximising return on investment and profit for you.
