The Story of Parkstone Interiors

Parkstone Interiors was created in 2003, by Joanne Nathanail; but the idea was born many years before.

When an opportunity arose to start her own business in 2003, Joe seized it and established the business named after her home, in the small village of Bletchingley, in Surrey. It is backed up by her Textiles ‘A’ Level, Honours Degree, and an Interior Design Diploma (from the National Design Academy). She has also attended soft furnishings courses run by the prestigious Merrick & Day Academy.

In the sixth form at School, Joe excelled at Economics & ‘Textiles & Dress’ (needlework). In an effort to pursue both subjects, she studied ‘Textile Management’ at Leeds University, and graduated with an honours degree in 1990.

While studying, Joe had raised extra money by making curtains for her Mother’s friends and neighbours, and by taking a Saturday job with Laura Ashley in their Home Furnishing store. The business is therefore founded on more than 20 years of experience.

Majority of our projects are, in Kent, Surrey & West Sussex. We have been delighted to supply soft furnishings for Tonbridge Castle in Kent, and Burrows Lea Country House, near Shere, Guildford.

Our work has appeared in Real Homes Magazine & Period House (Jan 2007).
