About Tracey Mannell

Interior Designer.

Tracey Mannell is one of the leading home renovation experts in Cornwall. She is an award-winning interior designer with more than 15 years’ experience remodelling homes and holiday rentals. Tracey has designed properties in and around Carlyon Bay, Fistral Beach, Porthtowan, Watergate Bay and across Cornwall.

After working as Interior Design Project Manager and resident interior stylist for The Watergate Bay Hotel, Tracey started her own interior design company. She has worked on a variety of projects from coastal retreats and penthouse apartments to boutique cottages and period homes.

Eye for detail.

Tracey has built up a network of talented artisans, contractors, joiners and specialist trades. She works closely with contractors on projects.

With a diploma in interior design and her vast experience in managing her own self-catering holiday accommodation, Tracey understands the importance of space.

“Interiors need to be both stylish and practical. For holiday lets, hotels and restaurants, additional thought is therefore given to colour palette and durability of furnishings.”

Award-winning interior design.

Tracey was recently awarded ‘Best Residential Interior’ by the United Kingdom Interior Design Property Awards, for her sympathetic restoration of her home Penarwyn House in Cornwall. She has been featured in a number of interior publications for her work. While Tracey studied design, she has certainly learnt by taking a hands-on approach.

Testimonial

“We engaged Tracey following a recommendation. We immediately liked her approach with an initial detailed design report and then implementation support as required. We loved her ideas which included the mood and colour scheme and a set of specific recommendations for suppliers and products, many of whom were local. This really helped our thinking, bringing new ideas and creating a coherent scheme which is both very beautiful and practical for a holiday let. As we iterated on choices we found Tracey very empathetic, listening well and being clear on when some of our ideas would not have worked. Tracey was also very responsive and helped us navigate a number of changes created by the country going into lockdown and we were able to complete all the planned upgrades before the first scheduled guests. We are delighted with the resulting cool and relaxing beach look which is giving our families, friends and holiday guests much pleasure”.

I have known Tracey for a number of years both professionally as an interior designer and personally as a close friend. Tracey offers a range of professional services which include both interior design and project management and has worked on a number of properties ranging from new build, traditional cottages and contemporary apartments, all of which have become successful holiday rentals.

Tracey is highly knowledgeable, has a wealth of experience and has outstanding client service, no job is too big or too small and Tracey uses innovative designs and adaptive reuse of owners furnishings. With her trained eye and creative mind set Tracey has devised solutions you might never have imagined ensuring a property is both beautiful, functional, harmonious and unique. I have no hesitation recommending Tracey to owners who are either looking to invest in a holiday home or to owners who would like help re-designing their existing property and to increase their revenue
