From Concept to Completion: The Business of Interior Architecture - Get Set, Glow
In this episode of Get Set, Glow, Lisa Lavis sits down with Emma Capron, founder of Bean Interiors, to unpack the full journey of interior architectural design - from early-stage planning and concept creation through to final installation and hand-over. Discover how interior design becomes a strategic asset rather than an afterthought: the work starts before bricks go up, with detailed layouts, bespoke joinery, lighting and finish decisions, all tailored to clients’ lifestyles and evolving needs.
We dive into real-world challenges too: balancing creativity with budgets, managing rising construction costs, navigating time pressures and sustainability concerns - all common across built environment, engineering, logistics and service industries. Emma shares her approach to sustainable design: re-using what she can, choosing durable materials, supporting local makers and aiming for timeless design that lasts.
As a fully accredited member of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID), Emma demonstrates how professionalism, ethics and ongoing training underpin her work - reassuring clients working on complex commercial and residential projects.
Whether you're in property development, transport, hospitality or services - or simply passionate about thoughtful design - you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for how effective design transforms spaces into functional, beautiful and long-lasting environments.
