Tina Hart Preto • March 21, 2025

As a community focused business, we love working with exceptional local talent and supporting other family businesses, like ourselves.



We’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Sarah Faulkner, a talented Interior Designer and expert in made-to-measure window treatments and soft furnishings. Based in Lichfield, Sarah not only helps homeowners create beautifully designed spaces but also provides practical solutions—like high-quality, well-fitted curtains that can help retain heat and improve energy efficiency. As a heating and plumbing business, we know how important it is to keep homes warm and comfortable, and Sarah’s expertise in creating stylish yet functional interiors perfectly complements our mission.


Her work is a great example of how smart design can enhance both the look and feel of a home.

Key service:  Made to Measure Window Treatments, Soft Furnishings & Interior Design


Can you tell us a bit about your business and how it started?

Evie Loves Interiors is a small but busy made to measure window treatments, soft furnishings and interior design business. I work on my own (with the help of my long suffering ‘handyman’ husband) from my home studio in Lichfield.


A major life event in 2013 meant circumstances changed radically for me and my three children, so I started painting furniture as a way of earning some money - it was really the only thing I could do at the time. Then one day a lovely client asked if I would design her bedroom for her - and so began my journey as an Interior Designer!


Since then I have been lucky enough to have been taught how to sew professionally, enabling me to make window treatments and soft furnishings myself, which has now become a large part of my business. Working on my own I have overcome all sorts of new challenges - along with large design commissions, there have been arched pelmets and roman blinds, bay windows with multiple motorised roman blinds, fitted wooden painted pelmets and I’ve even learnt how to sew tailored lampshades, which is now one of my favourite things to do!


If anybody had said to my younger self I would be where I am today I would never have believed them, I feel very lucky my business has evolved  the way it has and I love going to work every day!





What do you appreciate most about working with Harnce Business, and how have we collaborated in the past?

I love that Harnce Business is a family run, local business offering a friendly, honest, reliable and professional service. Harnce Business has the same work ethic and holds the same values as I do as a business owner, being approachable, friendly and customer-focused.



I’ve not collaborated with Harnce Business as yet but am looking forward to hopefully doing so in the near future.


What products or services do you offer that could benefit our clients?

I offer all things interior related. My services range from helping choose a paint colour or wallpaper, to full room redesigns - with everything inbetween. As mentioned above I make all window treatments and soft furnishings myself, either as part of a larger design or as a stand alone service.


With regards to design, I work closely with my clients to help them achieve the home they’ve always wanted. I offer a range of packages to suit any and all requirements - design concepts and mood boards, full design packages, or simply guidance and advice.


Often clients just need a bit of reassurance, giving them the confidence to go ahead with their own design ideas, or maybe they are thinking of selling and want advice on how to make their home more saleable - I’m here to offer friendly advice and a guiding hand.


Do you have any promotions or services that would be particularly useful for our clients right now?

I offer a free first visit with absolutely no obligation and no hard sell.


I’m very aware that sometimes people can be intimidated by the phrase ‘Interior Design’ and understand it can be off-putting to some clients, so it’s very important for me to let people know I am not part of a big corporation, I am a small business owner working on my own, my only motivation being to help people live in a home they love!



I would encourage anyone who feels they need help to contact me, I would be very happy to hear from them!

An annual boiler service is so much more than just a tick box – it’s an essential household maintenance task, and there’s never been a better time to book in to get it done! The autumn months are the ideal time to have your boiler serviced as it ensures that your system is running safety and efficiently ahead of the colder months, which helps prevent a heating breakdown when you most need a warm home. September/October is also a great time as it beats the winter rush for busy engineers, and can also help keep your energy costs down as your boiler and heating system will be running at its maximum efficiency. At Harnce Heating and Plumbing, we’re only ever a phone call away and our team of dedicated, gas certified engineers are committed to ensuring your home is safe, warm and as cost effective as it can possibly be.
