A Question of Taste<br />

Have you ever pondered why your friend’s home<br />

looks like something out of Homes and Gardens<br />

magazine, and, despite your very best efforts, your<br />

home just doesn’t? Is good taste in furnishing and décor<br />

something that you’re born with or do you have to sit<br />

through hour upon hour of TV makeover shows before<br />

you can appreciate the finer nuances of interior design?<br />

Well, don’t mention this in company, but it is possible<br />

that your friend has the services of an interior designer.<br />

Millan Interiors, who are based in the pretty village of<br />

Parbold are Lancashire’s best kept secret when it comes<br />

to interior design. Since the company was launched<br />

over ten years ago, they have transformed some of the<br />

finest homes in the area, and the business is going from<br />

strength to strength.<br />

The driving force and inspiration behind the company is<br />

Debbie Peers who opened Millan Interiors in 2008. Her<br />

mum was a seamstress and, even from her early years,<br />

Debbie knew her creative path was carved for her. After<br />

leaving school Debbie studied hard at Art and Design<br />

and was rewarded with a career at ITV, where she stayed<br />

for nearly 20 years. Initially hired to design sets for TV<br />

shows, Debbie later was promoted to Producer before<br />

she realised her dream of opening Millan Interiors.<br />

Adele Headley, Debbie’s business partner, who lives in<br />

Eccleston, worked for a lighting design company for<br />

twelve years which gave her the inspiration to study<br />

design further. She firstly completed a HNC Interior<br />

Design and Architecture where she won the student<br />

of the year award, and then continued her studies at<br />

UCLAN to complete a BA Hons. Interior Design. With a<br />

few more awards on the way, she completed her threeyear<br />

course in two years before joining forces with<br />

Debbie at Millan Interiors.<br />
