McQuin Partnership Interior Design

Great Process…Incredible Result I am delighted to recommend Debra. She did an amazing job transforming my London flat into a warm and inviting home. She took the time to understand my tastes and adapted her design process to fit to my strengths (I am short on time and creative vision but good at making decisions). The end result was beyond anything I could have imagined yet the flats still feels like expression of me and my style. Debra did a great job project managing the builder and coordinating the landscape designer. At all times I had clarity of costs, understand the timelines, and in the end full reconciled invoices. I really enjoyed working with Debra and am ecstatic with the results! -Steve Stearns

Debra McQuin is a true professional. Not only is she incredibly creative, she is smart, thoughtful, organized and sticks to the budget. She is very knowledgeable and is great at sourcing just what you need. She works well with everyone on the team and they know they can rely on her to meet her deadlines. I would absolutely work with Debra again on any size job!

Debra has an outstanding eye for design. She also listens well to the client's needs and opinions and is happy to involve them as much or little as they wish in the design process. She will not hesitate to gently suggest new ideas for consideration, but is never pushy or demanding, always ensuring the end result fits in with the client's wishes. Debra pays close attention to budget and to detail and is meticulous in her work. She works well to meet deadlines, and also manages contractors and builders to do the same. She is a very thorough project manager. And the end product is first rate. Even many years after finishing the design work, I continue to get many compliments on my home. I recommend Debra with enthusiasm.

I hired McQuin Partnership for interior design services for a 2700 sq ft lateral flat. Debra McQuin was very friendly, professional and pleasant to work with. She is excellent at sourcing exactly what you need with a good array of options. She presents proposals in a clear and concise manner making it easy to decide on best options for your home and design needs. She is extremely efficient and organised and I appreciated how quickly she got back to me with pricing, orders and delivery options. Final product was an organised home filled with colour and beautiful furnishings. Debra McQuin is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her for interior design consultation and project management.

Debra managed the complete re-modelling and redesign of our Knightsbridge home, a 6-storey townhouse, over the course of 18 months. She is an extremely strong and effective leader and worked tirelessly to secure the best from suppliers, to keep the project moving along at a fast pace and to ensure that everyone was consistently on the same page and on budget. In fact, we credit her with saving us several months in the project by being so efficient and on top of every single detailed process. Being so thorough in her work, she doesn't shy away from technical matters and is therefore able to contribute to and challenge decisions at all levels of the project - a very rare quality for an interior designer. Her ability to work well with the project manager and the architect were critical to the project's success. Crucially, at every point of tension in the project, Debra remained helpful and constructive with everyone involved, which is the ultimate test of a project leader's real effectiveness and competence. Debra is a real pleasure to work with as her positive, 'can-do' attitude allowed us to be as involved (or not) as we wanted to be, also giving us enough flexibility to make substantial changes along the way. She managed to strike the right balance when prompting us for decisions without bombarding us inconsiderately, and when steering our design ideas without imposing her own views. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptionally efficient, thorough and bright professional.
