Welcome To Horton Design Consultancy
We would like to welcome new and existing clients. Our door is always open for you to come and browse through the eclectic mix of showroom pieces and leaf through our vast library of wallpaper, fabric and carpet collections, at your leisure. These collections are continually updated to bring you the latest in Interior Design (details of which can be found on our latest products page). You can avoid the crowds of the city centre (Chester 20 minutes, Liverpool 30 minutes and Manchester 40 minutes) and there is plenty of free parking. We remain competitive and we charge recommended retail prices as set by our suppliers.
We can offer a full consultation either in our showroom or on site and provide a full measuring, design and fitting service. Our reputation and success is based on high standards, attention to detail and most importantly client care. We are very approachable, down to earth and friendly; our style is natural and elegant, covering both contemporary and traditional interiors. A great many of our commissions are repeats with clients regularly coming back to us over the years. We call upon a broad team of skilled craftsmen and trade people with whom we have excellent working relationships built over the last twenty years.
