Cornwall and Idesign Interiors (SW) Ltd at Winscombe, Somerset have both successfully completed the vetting process, after applying for membership at the recent KBB exhibition in Birmingham. A third retailer, KAW Interior Design, based in Kidderminster,


Worcestershire won the KBB promotion draw for a case of champagne, and also has an application ongoing, which is expected to be approved within the next few weeks. Idesign Interiors offers quality bespoke kitchens and other associated


rooms for the home such as utility and boot rooms, with a complete project management service from conception to completion. H Everett Interiors has been established since 1997, and prides itself


on its reputation for excellence in customer service across all of its fitted bedrooms and kitchens. KAW Interior Design create kitchens and bedrooms for a wide range


of clients with designs that can be personalised with bespoke products, providing customers with more options and less compromises. Kbsa national chair Richard Hibbert added, “It was a pleasure to


present KAW Interior Design with their case of champagne following their visit to KBB Birmingham. The exhibition provided the Kbsa with the perfect opportunity to showcase the many benefits of membership, which resulted in a significant number of enquiries. “I am delighted that H Everett Interiors and Idesign Interiors have


made it successfully through the vetting process, and look forward to welcoming KAW Interior Design into membership in due course.”
