Meet Sarah
I'm Sarah McAdam, founder of Sarah McAdam Interior Design Ltd, creating calm, functional family homes across East Sussex.
With a grounded, approachable nature and years of hands‑on experience supporting households, I pride myself in delivering a rare blend of professionalism, warmth and real‑life understanding to every project. With design that focuses on thoughtful, practical design that helps families feel at ease from the get go.
What I Do And Why I Do It
My approach is rooted in the belief that a home should work for you, not the other way around. I specialise in creating spaces for UK homeowners that balance high‑end design with the practicalities of a busy family schedule. Blending creative vision with strong organisation and technical precision, I use CAD and scaled layouts to ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned and genuinely functional. From durable organic textures to clever storage solutions, every decision is tailored to make your everyday flow with ease and calm.
I do this work because I’ve seen firsthand how deeply a home affects the way a family feels. Supporting households for years taught me that calm, functional spaces aren’t a luxury — they’re a lifeline in the middle of busy, modern life. I genuinely love helping people, and nothing makes me happier than knowing I’ve made someone’s day‑to‑day life easier. Creating homes that feel grounded, intuitive and effortless is my way of giving families more breathing room, more clarity and more moments of calm in the middle of the chaos.
“I believe a home shouldn't just look beautiful; it should be the calm backdrop to your family's most cherished, chaotic, and real moments.”
What My Clients Say
"Sarah was by our side as we took on a daunting and overwhelming home extension project around our two young boys, she led us calmly and created such a gorgeous design in quite a tricky space. Sarah even saved us moving a wall which would've resulted in our kitchen flow being totally destroyed, we were so busy we just didn't see the effect it would've had! The work is nearly finished now and we're just thrilled with the family space Sarah has designed for us and we cant wait to live in it."
Sarah, Skipton
I cannot recommend Sarah enough, I didn't know where to start before Sarah came along. With a space that other professionals had difficulty meeting out needs. She was able to redesign our whole space, with beautiful designs and ingenious ideas for creating a space that is functional and stylish at the same time (oh and family friendly too!). I enjoyed the whole process with Sarah and would choose to work with her again. She really is the best at what she does!'
Rosie, Uckfield
I feel like you're what I was missing when I renovated the rest of my house. I had no clue what I was doing, If only I'd found you sooner.
Georgia, Haywards Heath
"My daughter has a really small and awkwardly shaped room, I was struggling to work out what to do with it in order to maximize space for her to play. Sarah was brilliant, she came up with lots of idea's that I would never of thought of, showed me potential layout options and saved me hours of time coming up with design and furniture suggestions all in a clickable shopping list!
Sarah has a real eye for detail, is very creative and went above and beyond on the project. I highly recommend she is great.
