Select Interiors: Crafting Commercial Spaces with Soul and Substance

For nearly four decades, Select Interiors has been quietly transforming the commercial interior design & fit out with their Creators + Makers service. The Northern Quarter based team of designers, workshop and fit out people cover hospitality, retail, office, and bespoke commercial environments.

From the initial concept sketches to the final CAD layouts, elevations and 3D model, Select Interiors offers a seamless, ‘one stop shop’ service. The team submit all application to Building & Listed Building Control & Planning and manage the project and processes throughout the duration of a contract to completion

A Tapestry of Clients and Craft

Their client list reads like a curated menu of the region’s finest hospitality businesses, Ezra & Gil, The Big Manchester Bakes, Fuwa Fuwa, The Kitchens, Blue Pig, and Chez Gerard Group to local pubs – The Dog & Partridge in Didsbury.  Retail clients include Armani, Refy Beauty, Marks & Spenser. Office clients include: Metrolink, Royal London Insurance, Argent Energy and CBRE. Whether shaping an independent bar / restaurant or refining the workspace of a global brand, their ethos remains constant: intelligent design, exceptional materials, and a relentless pursuit of aesthetic harmony

The Hyll Project: Breathing New Life into Heritage

One of their most poetic endeavours to date is the complete transformation of Hyll—a 26-bedroom Grade II Country House boutique hotel nestled in the rolling Cotswold landscape of Chipping Camden. The17th-century Grade II listed Manor, nestled in a 60-acre estate with mature trees and gardens complete with folly and even a helipad

The refurbishment was completed over a 14-week programme, the team reimagined every corner: entrance, reception, restaurant, lounge, drawing room, bar, cloakroom, office space, and eight ensuite bedrooms. The result, a symphony of textures and tones—marble, smoked oak, wool, cotton, linen—all blended subtly against a backdrop of the warm honeyed hue of Cotswold stone and original architectural features. It’s an atmosphere where guests don’t merely stay, they surrender to tranquillity and absorb the landscape, setting and hospitality in an environment steeped in history

Their remit stretched far beyond décor. From damp-proofing, structural works, plumbing, electrics, data, lighting, sanitaryware, marble tiles and mosaics, signage, and bespoke glazed shower screens, decoration, smoked Oak timber floors, wool mix carpets, stair runners and soft furnishings, curtains & blinds. The Select Creator’s joinery workshop brought to life elegant burr Walnut drinks fridges, custom bedside tables, and headboards, all tailored to the client’s vision.

Navigating the complex terrain of Listed Building Regulations, Select Interiors worked closely with the Heritage Consultants to ensure every intervention did not compromise the original aesthetic, and preserved the soul of the original construction. Modern methods of damp proofing and treatments were used but carefully concealed by artful craft and traditional methods. Plaster was reinstated following the original slanting internal and external corners, edges were ‘softened’, and surface membranes were covered by screed slurry to enable the decorative smoked Oak flooring to be laid without compromising it’s Listed status

“Heritage projects are close to our hearts—each one is a dialogue between past and present. This particular project was a joy to shape, not least because of the wonderful working partnership with Sarah James, and Paul.”

Carl Brown, Managing Director

Designers Who Build, Builders Who Design

What sets Select Interiors apart is a duality that few can claim. They are designers who wield saws and chisels, and builders who sketch with flair. This rare balance allows them to offer a true design-and-build service—streamlined, efficient, and entirely bespoke. Their work doesn’t follow trends; it sets them, rooted in the belief that each space should reflect the identity of its inhabitants and the ambition of their clients vision

For commercial interiors crafted with intelligence, soul, and unmistakable style, Select Interiors remains a quiet force in the Northwest—a studio where imagination finds form in wood, stone, fabrics, glass and light.
