Interior Designer in Burton-on-Trent
Expert space planning and kitchen design, serving Burton-on-Trent and the surrounding area.
Burton-on-Trent is a town in the middle of a quiet renovation boom. The inter-war semis in Horninglow and the Victorian terraces in Stapenhill are being extended, opened up, and reconfigured — and homeowners are discovering that getting the layout right before building work starts makes all the difference.
Hi, I’m Tetiana — a Residential Interior Designer specialising in space planning, kitchen design, and open-plan living. I help Burton-on-Trent homeowners create homes that are both beautiful and genuinely functional, with scaled drawings their builders can use from day one.
Based just 7 miles from Burton in South Derbyshire, I work directly with clients across the town and nearby villages — from Rolleston-on-Dove and Barton-under-Needwood to Stretton and Branston.
Interior Design Services Available in Burton-on-Trent
If your Burton-on-Trent home has rooms that feel wrong — too cramped, poorly laid out, or awkward to move through — this service gets to the root of the problem. We produce precise, to-scale drawings that your builders or fitters can use directly on site. No guesswork, no costly on-site mistakes. Many Burton homeowners come to this service after starting a project and realising the layout still doesn’t work.
Space Planning & Layout Design
Burton-on-Trent has a high proportion of inter-war and Victorian properties where the kitchen and dining room sit as two separate rooms at the back of the house. Opening these up into a single kitchen-diner is one of the most common — and most rewarding — projects in this area. Tetiana plans every detail around how you actually cook, eat, and move through the space, before a single wall comes down.

Kitchen & Open-Plan Interior Design
Not every project needs a full redesign. If one room is driving you mad — a living room that always feels cramped, a bedroom with no obvious layout — a Room Layout Audit gives you clear, actionable analysis of what’s wrong and exactly how to fix it. It’s a focused, affordable starting point for Burton-on-Trent homeowners who want expert guidance before committing to a bigger project.

Working With Homeowners in Burton-on-Trent
Burton-on-Trent has a varied housing stock that presents a real range of interior design challenges. The inter-war and Victorian terraces around Horninglow, Stapenhill, and Winshill are a common starting point for renovation projects — often with separate front and back reception rooms that owners want to open up into a single flowing kitchen-diner.
Further out, areas like Stretton, Shobnall, and the villages of Rolleston-on-Dove and Barton-under-Needwood offer larger detached and semi-detached properties where space planning is about making the most of what’s already there: oversized hallways, awkward utility rooms, and underused dining rooms are typical challenges.
Newer developments around Branston bring their own issues — open-plan ground floors that lack definition, or layouts that don’t reflect how modern families actually use their space. In my experience working with Burton homes, the problems are almost always structural before they’re aesthetic: fix the layout, and the rest follows.
Alekseeva Design is based just 7 miles from Burton-on-Trent in South Derbyshire, making us well-placed to work with clients throughout the town and surrounding villages.
How the Interior Design process works
We start with a conversation about your home, your goals, and what’s not working. No obligation and no hard sell. Just a professional discussion about your project and what you’re trying to achieve.
01
Initial Consultation
Layout Design & Space Planning
02
We create a detailed space plan tailored to your home's layout and your needs. This includes accurate measurements, furniture placement, and flow analysis so you understand exactly how the redesigned space will work before any work begins.
Once the layout is confirmed, we develop the visual concept: colour schemes, materials, finishes, and styling. This brings the plan to life so you can fully visualise the finished result before committing to anything.
03
Concept Design
We produce detailed drawings and specifications that builders, fitters, and tradespeople can work from directly on site. These ensure nothing is left to guesswork.
04
Technical drawings

Frequently Asked Questions — Interior Design in Burton-on-Trent
-
Costs vary depending on the scope of your project. A Room Layout Audit is the most affordable entry point. Full space planning or kitchen design is priced on a project basis. Alekseeva Design offers transparent pricing — get in touch for a quote based on your specific project.
-
Yes — this is exactly the kind of project Alekseeva Design specialises in. Rear extensions on inter-war and Victorian semis in Burton involve a series of layout decisions that are easy to get wrong: where the kitchen goes, how the dining area connects to the garden, where natural light comes in. Getting a space plan done before your builder starts means those decisions are made deliberately, not by default.
-
Absolutely. Open-plan conversions are one of the most common projects Alekseeva Design works on — and one of the most rewarding to get right. Read What Does Open Plan Mean? for a helpful overview of the key decisions involved before the wall comes down.

Yes. Alekseeva Design works with clients throughout Burton-on-Trent and the surrounding villages, including Rolleston-on-Dove, Barton-under-Needwood, Stretton, Branston, and across South Staffordshire and South Derbyshire.
