Julia Kendell
With twenty years design experience Julia is enjoying phenomenal success within the interior design industry, having worked on far-ranging projects from individual residential kitchens to £5 million property refurbishments, both in the UK and abroad.
Julia is best known as television's 'queen of diy and design!' and has recently completed her sixth series of DIY SOS with Nick Knowles and the team. Julia thoroughly enjoys getting her hands dirty and believes that to be a good designer you have to fully understand the 'nuts and bolts' of building.
Her passion lies in two main areas, renovating old properties and self-build eco homes. She and her partner recently completed a fabulous timber-framed eco-property on the riverside incorporating cutting-edge 'green'
technologies and are about to embark on their second build.
For the past 14 years Julia has run her own design business and in recent years has been one of the main design presenters for '60 Minute Makeover' and 'Daybreak' on ITV1, and a regular expert on Richard Bacon's 'Help' panel on Radio 5Live. Inspite of an impressive client list, including many celebrities, Julia enjoys her work for families on DIY SOS and 60MM most of all.
You can talk one-to-one with Julia in The Advice Centre, or hear her speak in The Real Homes Live! Theatres.
