How do your services/offering enhance an interior designer’s projects?

DKT brings over 40 years of experience in delivering projects at the highest level across sectors, including high-end Residential, Hospitality, Corporate Offices and Superyachts. Working with a wide range of materials, our specialist decoration skills can be applied on all styles, from traditional to modern and contemporary. Furthermore, we can best advise on options in relation to the specific requirements of the space, including fire regulations, weight restrictions and maintenance. Having a multi skilled team, DKT is well equipped to fulfil all designers’ needs, in relation to all types of decorative finishes, saving them time, effort and money, instead of finding various suppliers. Through an assigned Project Manager, DKT would coordinate all the aspects of the project, working with the designer on all requirements and keeping them up to date with the status of the project development.

What are the latest trends you’ve noticed in your client’s requests?

Each project is unique and so are the clients. We receive requests for both traditional and modern finishes, as well as figurative or abstract designs. Over the years we have noticed a preference for calmer and inviting backgrounds, which best suit the inclusion of bespoke site-specific artworks as a centrepiece, as well as bold feature walls.
