Who We Are
At Nefarious we focus on creating spaces as individual, unique and original as our clients. Unique perspective, colour choices and lateral thinking is the foundation in forging the ‘One Off’ backdrop to life experiences specific to each project. One aspect of design which is inherent in all our projects is The Devil Is in The Detail, a problem-solving attitude, that all design is detailed and considered and how it will affect the look, feel and use of a space.
Founded in 2020 by director Adam Knight who, from studying a Bsc in Food Technology (but not seeing himself in a food factory wearing steel capped boots and a hair net) to a Msc in International Creative Advertising allowed him to develop a range of skills to take a practical yet creative take on interior design. With the thinking that clients not only become part of the Nefarious Design Team but also to create relaxed relationships to ensure the process is honest, fun and highly communicative.
Nefarious Design deliver personal and enjoyable spaces that are functional, fun and unique to each project, and we work with an array of budgets, project sizes and durations. If that’s conceptualisation to completion or help with a specific stage in a project. Each is personalised and tailored to the client and is always emphasised to be a joyful, enjoyable experience.
“Design should be about our clients vision, their wants, needs and aspirations. We are here to simply guide them to that goal and make the space of their dreams a reality in the most joyous (and stress-free) way possible.” Adam Knight
“Adam and team have been exceptional since starting on my home renovation two years ago - initially to do 3 rooms in this 250 year old house, but thereafter gave them the whole house project. They have worked harmoniously with me and incorporated my wishes while providing excellent steer and ideas.
The most important thing is that Adam has solved all the problems and gone above and beyond to liaise with architects/engineers/builders to make this less stressful for me. This has turned into a deep renovation and period restoration including structural work, repurposing of rooms, replacement of the very old piping and electrics, full heating renewal, restoring historical features - I wouldn't have been able to do it without Adam's handholding, working at weekends, evenings, going way, way above and beyond. I hugely recommend him.”
