Get Neat ........
GetNeat ID is a Glasgow-based interior design studio helping homeowners, landlords and businesses transform their spaces through practical design, smart space planning and full installation services.
Each project shapes part of the story— applying how I explore what makes space work, feel right, and connect with. I hope that as you look around, you’ll see not just designs, ideas, something different, but that you also see the genuine curiosity and care for creating places and spaces that either leave a lasting impression, are personal and tailored to you, or are just a little bit different.
Cos who like being a sheep these days?
So if you want to work with a design thinking, human centric, creative, non pushy and collaborative designer, rather then a salesman specifying what's popular or trendy, then come on over, lets have a chat.
My Outlook
Design That Works For People — And The Planet
We can't just think about ourselves when we're designing a space. We also have to think about the planet we're leaving behind. I don't think sustainability should be something you bolt onto a project at the end because it sounds good in the brochure. It should be part of the decisions from the start.
That doesn't mean everything has to be made from bamboo and recycled yoghurt pots either. Sometimes the most sustainable option is simply not buying something new. A good quality piece of furniture can be refurbished, repaired, reupholstered or given a completely different purpose. A desk that's already been made has already used the materials, energy and resources needed to produce it — giving it another ten years of life is often a much better option than throwing it away and buying another one.

The Final Space
1
Where I Start
Because we experience space in three dimensions, that’s where the design begins. Building the layout digitally lets us test proportions, flow, and sightlines before anything is ordered or installed. You can step into the space virtually and understand how it will work and feel long before it’s built.
From there, clear 2D drawings and visual boards help bring everything together. Some clients enjoy exploring the full 3D process, while others prefer the simplicity of plans and elevations. The level of detail always adapts to what feels most comfortable and useful for you.

We work Togther
Material choices have a big impact on how a space lasts. I focus on finishes that are durable, easy to maintain, and practical to repair or replace when needed.
Sustainability isn’t only about new eco products. A well-made material that lasts for years can often be the more sustainable choice compared to something cheaper that needs frequent replacement. Equally, refurbished or easily replaceable items can be just as responsible when they suit the space.
The aim is to choose materials that work for real life and allow the space to evolve over time, rather than needing to start again.

The Outcome
Every project considers how the eye moves through a space. The same layout can feel completely different depending on the balance of colour, contrast, and visual detail. The aim is to create a natural sense of focus, where your eye is guided comfortably from one element to the next rather than competing for attention.
When a space is visually balanced, it avoids fatigue — the feeling that something isn’t quite right or needs changing again. Instead, you walk in each day and the space still feels engaging, calm, and enjoyable to be in, without the constant urge to redesign or refresh it.
Before & After Example
I'm also a big believer in making spaces work harder. If one room can do three jobs, you don't necessarily need three rooms. A dining table can become a workspace. A spare bedroom can have a proper desk and still work as a guest room. A bit of built-in storage can turn an awkward corner into a useful little pocket rather than dead space. It's the same principle I use in commercial interiors: create little pockets that work for the task you're doing at the time.
And that's where functionality comes in. I want a space to work properly before I worry about making it look pretty. The best design decisions are usually the ones that solve a problem at the same time as making the room look better.
Once the layout and function are right, the aesthetic tends to follow. Some homes need contrast, strong colours and a bit of drama. Others work better with softer, desaturated tones that make the whole place feel calmer. I don't think there is one “GetNeat look” that should be imposed on everyone. Your home should look like you live there, not like you've just walked into a furniture showroom.
Sustainable interior design is really about making better decisions rather than perfect ones. Buy less, buy better, repair what you can, reuse what you've already got, choose materials that will last and make your space work harder. If we can make a home look great while keeping more stuff out of landfill and using fewer new resources, that's a pretty good result.
