About me
I am Charlotte, founder and creative director of Sevunar Interiors. With a strong creative eye and a passion for all things interiors, I design spaces that embrace your own personality and style into functional but interesting spaces.
I am originally from Kent and have lived in places such as Somerset, Oman, Spain and Kuwait. Eventually I settled in Manchester in 2009. After living in the Middle East and Europe I have been able to appreciate different styles and cultures that can be woven into my designs. I believe a home should reflect its owners. It should reflect your personality and be unique to you.
Prior to becoming an interior designer I worked in financial services. This gave me the organisation and project management skills that have helped with managing work and homelife. Being a mum of two energetic boys, definitely keeps me on my toes!
I put my experiences into practice when I bought a 1930s house which needed a full renovation. It wasn’t where I thought I’d end up, but the opportunity to extend, reconfigure the space and fully renovate, transformed it into our home after some blood, sweat and tears.
I went back to education and studied Interior and Design while on maternity Leave with my second son. With my Diploma in Interior Design I started my business in 2020. After creating my beautiful home and space I developed a passion for creating something unique and special for others too.
I have loved putting all the skills I have learnt along the way - parenting skills included, to help create your dream spaces too. I can redesign your space into something you love. A space that embraces both form & function you can truly enjoy for the years to come.
YOUR HOUSE, YOUR RULES.

Philosophy
SEVUNAR INTERIORS COMES FROM LOVE
The foundations of the Sevunar brand are built on
a number of core principles interwoven to express a process that helps execute refined design in its highest form.
The number seven
The term 'Sensory processing' refers to our ability to take in information through our senses (touch, movement, smell, taste, sight, hearing, balance) organise and interpret that information and make a meaningful response. The seven senses are fundamental to a child's ability to learn & function in any environment.
Sight (vision) Hearing (auditory) Smell (Olfactory) Taste, Touch (tactile) Movement, body position
There are seven main principles of interior design: balance, harmony, rhythm, proportion and scale, emphasis, contrast, and details. These concepts can be applied to any room in your home, from the living room to the bathroom.
My lucky birth number is also 7
Here are have merged these principles to help inform my work approach and is reflected in the brand name of my business.
Lunar - Buddhist principles
Buddha Shakyamuni said, 'I will prostrate to the new moon and not to the full moon. '
The 'new moon' refers to the first realizations that we develop and the 'full moon' refers to the advanced and qualified realizations of superior beings
In Buddhism, the moon is an enduring symbol of truth and enlightenment. What does the new moon do spiritually? The new moon, a time of fresh beginnings and untapped potential, presents a unique opportunity to set intentions and manifest your deepest desires.
This principle of new beginnings and the power of intention to manifest ones desires is a process present in my work. It resonates deeply with my work ethic and approach to helping people realise their hopes for a more balanced and beautiful home.
