Battersea, London -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/23/2012 -- On Saturday 31st March from 9am to 6pm, Surface, leading retailer of tiles, mosaic and stone, is hosting a customer open day at their premier London store in Essex Road, London N1. Free to attend, the informal event will offer consultations from interior designers who are waiving their professional fees for the day. Visitors will pick up countless new product ideas for re-designing bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, gardens - anywhere in the home requiring beautiful surfaces.

Surface is offering 30% in-store discount throughout the day or redeemable within 4 weeks using a special money-off voucher, which must be stamped at the event.

The offer also includes the latest designer collections from Tokujin Yoshioka – winner of Wallpaper Magazine’s Best Design Award 2011 and Spanish celebrity designer Patricia Urquiola.

A select group of five interior designers - all KLC qualified - will be available to explain how the use of tiles can elevate schemes in the house and garden from the ordinary to the sublime, and without costing the earth. Based at Chelsea Harbour, KLC is one of London’s most prestigious design schools. The diploma is notoriously difficult and has produces some of the most exciting and innovative contemporary designers who go on to work for leading practices including Kelly Hoppen, Candy & Candy, Firmdale Hotels, Harrods Design Studio, Bulthaup and Fox Linton.

One such interior designer offering advice at the Open Day is Lara Francis who was runner-up for the Designer of the Year Award in Homes & Gardens and whose work has been showcased in leading home interest magazines including Real Homes, KBBM and EKBB.

The Surface stores are market leading tile showrooms and the Islington store is frequented by many of London’s leading interior designers including Lara. She often uses Surface products to blend eras and styles to create interiors which are both unique and timeless.
