Beaufort Collection

Top Floor, North Dome Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour SW10 0XE London, England

Trevor Wilson is Managing Director of Beaufort Interiors – known both for its team of interior designers, and for its in-house soft-furnishing manufacturing. Originally forging a career in the NHS as a psychologist, Dr Wilson came in to the family business in 2005, re-trained in Interior Design at the National Design Academy in Nottingham, and since then has made his own impression on the interior design industry. He is now an associate of the British Institute of Interior Designers, and a member of the Irish Interiors Association. He has been interviewed in live radio broadcasts discussing current design trends, and television programmes, including a couple of appearances on the interior design challenge Showhouse on RTE 1.

For London Design Week 2016, Trevor launched his own soft furnishing range, and was listed as one of the Top Ten interior product launches from the 300 brands represented. “The BEAUFORT Collection” comprises a range of sofas, armchairs, side chairs, rugs and fabrics, and now has its own showroom in the prestigious Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour.

Beaufort is well established in residential interiors, and Trevor began branching into commercial contracts, which are now a major part of Beaufort’s sphere of activity. In fact, Beaufort has been involved with a number of projects abroad, including work for both Royal Caribbean and SAGA cruises, 10 Trinity Square in London, and most recently, a large VIP private residence in central Paris. Although involved in commercial interiors and work abroad as far afield as Saudi Arabia, what gives Trevor more

DESIGNERS GUIDE 2021 INTERIOR satisfaction than anything else is to get to know what his residential clients really want for their interior, and to realise that for them. He prefers to use the term facilitation to describe how he helps his clients express their own style, so that their home shows off their taste - through the proposing of design concepts that they may not have considered, whilst providing enough choice that the project belongs to the homeowner. Beaufort was founded in 1981 by Trevor’s mother Ruth Wilson, and is the only company to be awarded the Ulster Tatler’s ‘Interior Designer / Interiors Store of the Year’ twice (2008 & 2013). Beaufort has been manufacturing made-tomeasure curtains and blinds, together with other custom soft furnishings for almost 40 years, and is a member of the Association of Master Ruth and Trevor Wilson Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers.

SEAFORDE INTERIORS Seaforde Interiors

Dunnanew Road, Downpatrick BT30 T: 07740304310 E: jacqueline@ seafordeinteriors.co.uk www.seafordeinteriors.co.uk/

Jacqueline Hamilton from Seaforde Interiors has had a lot to celebrate recently having been shortlisted for our Interior Designer of the year award. “I was absolutely delighted to reach the final and be shortlisted, it was such a wonderful acknowledgement and I am so proud to have come this far.”

Jacqueline’s feet haven’t touched the ground since she returned home from London after a career in postproduction along with her husband Tony.

They built their own beautiful home in the gorgeous village of Seaforde, Co. Down to bring up their children now both teenagers Rudi & Daisy.

Jacqueline completed her Fine Art Degree in England and when she moved back to Northern Ireland she then re-trained in Interior Design.

“Having built our own home and constantly doing DIY with Tony over the years, I knew that it was something that I wanted to pursue as a career. With my background in art I knew about colour etc but I definitely needed to go back to college to do my interiors if I wanted to understand about design properly.”

Seaforde Interiors was then launched five years ago and it has gone from strength to strength with two restaurants, bars, hotels, offices and family homes under her belt.

Although based in Seaforde, Jacqueline works all over Northern Ireland. She has also done

DESIGNERS GUIDE 2021 INTERIOR virtual consultations however she believes that nothing beats visiting the premises as you are able to get an over all feel from it immediately. “It’s also better to look at paint colours and fabrics in the room that they are intended for as the light varies from room to room and what may look nice in one room may not work so well in another.” Seaforde Interiors offer a full bespoke service such as curtains, roman blinds, paint colours, sourcing furniture and of course design. “It can be very overwhelming for someone trying to do one room or a whole house, or perhaps they just don’t have the time. That’s where we come in and take the stress away and are able to complete the project and give them exactly what they want.” Jacqueline Hamilton

The CUBE is installed in the kitchen cabinet next to the Quooker tank and can be added to any compatible Quooker system. The tap that does it all o ers all the familiar advantages of a Quooker.

“The average household consumes a whopping 360 plastic bottles a year and people are looking to reduce their waste of single-use plastics which makes drinking good tap water that doesn’t need to be stored more appealing. With the Cold Water Filter and a sparkling water option with the addition of the CUBE, these accessories enable any tap in the Quooker range to deliver quality drinking water, reducing the need for single-use plastics. Since they were launched, 70% of customers on average now take the Cold Water Filter or CUBE options, proving the demand is there. In recent years this marked rise has been largely propelled by the drive for sustainability,” says Stephen Johnson, Managing Director at Quooker UK.

How do I operate the CUBE?

Push-wait-turn and the tap ring will light up blue for a ow of ltered chilled water. Push-turn and the tap ring will ash blue for a ow of ltered sparkling water. So it’s impossible to dispense boiling water when you want sparkling water.

Do I need an extra tap for the chilled sparkling and ltered water?

No, the ltered chilled and sparkling water comes from the same tap as the boiling water. So you save space on your kitchen counter and you don’t need to drill any extra holes.

What is ltered by the CUBE?

The CUBE is equipped with an active carbon lter and a hollow bre lter. Both lters together ensure a better water quality because they lter bacteria, chloride, chemicals and pesticides from the water.

How long do the lters last?

For hygienic reasons, the lters should be replaced every 12 months, regardless of the amount of water used. After 12 months, the CUBE will start beeping and the light on the CUBE tank will ash to indicate that the lters need to be replaced. The lters can be accessed under the sliding panel on top of the CUBE. Instructions for replacing the lters are printed on the lter cartridges.

How sustainable is the CUBE?

There is no more need for plastic bottles and you won’t have to throw away used bottles of water because they’ve been open for too long and have gone at. With the CUBE, you dispense precisely the amount that you need at a given moment. And there is a saving for society too. It will no longer be necessary to transport plastic bottles by lorry.

Can the CUBE be integrated into a Quooker system that has already been installed?

The CUBE will work with any systems produced after October 2017. These taps have serial numbers beginning with QW1 or QW0. The tanks have serial numbers beginning with VCW or CCW.

Why does the water from the CUBE taste so good?

The CUBE is tted with an active carbon lter and a hollow bre lter. They lter bacteria, chloride, chemicals and pesticides from the water.
