Melissa Tilley Chic Interiors
Where are you based and how long have you been in business? Chic Interiors is located at number 3 Pepper Street in Tavistock. I have personally been in the furnishing business for 24 years and been running my own business for the past five years.
What do you specialise in? We specialise in beautiful bespoke home furnishings helping you make your house a home.
What is the most unusual order you have ever completed?
What is the most challenging aspect of your work? The most challenging aspects of having your own business is that you never switch off and there are so many hours spent still working behind the scenes even after your shop door is closed.
One of our most memorable orders we completed was furnishing an eleven bedroom home throughout for a very well known public figure, which was definitely a challenge but very fulfilling and rewarding.
Do you need any special qualifications in your business?
What is your favourite type of project?
Can you describe a typical day? A typical day for me is opening the shop premises up for around 7am, cutting orders ready to deliver to the seamstresses, advertising on our social media pages, replying to countless emails and then uploading new content
Do you have any plans or ambitions for the future? I work with an amazing team of local highly skilled and driven members. We have so much more to offer and exciting plans to expand Chic Interiors and continue providing everyone with the highest quality home furnishings at the bestCLICK prices with a knowledgeable, & COLLE T friendly and experienced service.

All projects are our favourite to work with as I see potential in all windows and fabrics and I sure know what works best for each window dressing.
I was self taught and trained by the best when it comes to all of my knowledge and expertise - my parents, the owners of Tavy Textiles for 45 years.
on our web page to keep it refreshed. Then it’s serving our lovely clients, sorting deliveries and paper work and then off to home consultation services. The last stop will be to my suppliers and seamstresses for pick-ups and deliveries and then settle at home for around 8pm ready to start the next day and do it all over again!
