Jan Metcalfe-Barnett – A Passion for Timeless Interiors
Jan’s journey into the world of interior design wasn’t a conventional one, but it was certainly one fuelled by passion, creativity, and a love for beautifully crafted spaces.
Beginning her working life as a nanny in London and then changing her career to that of banking. But a desire to be part of something more inspiring led her on an adventure that would ultimately shape her future in design.
A move to Ireland saw Jan working in a furniture and antiques showroom, where she developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, history, and how pieces could be curated to create stunning interiors. This experience laid the foundation for her design ethos—melding classic elegance with contemporary style.
In the early 1990s, Jan returned to London. Drawing upon her nannying experience with a prominent Knightsbridge family with close connections to Queen Camilla, she took on a unique role as a nanny/come office assistant for leading Interior Designer in London SW1W.
It was during this time that she began exploring her passion more seriously, enrolling on an interior design course and gaining hands-on experience working in a busy Interior Design practice. This period proved invaluable, offering her direct insight into high-end interiors and the importance of creating stylish yet functional living spaces.
By 1996, Jan had gained a great deal of knowledge and experience within the industry, and joined Roomservice Furnishing, the UK’s leading showhome design company. Travelling across the country as design manager she designed and installed multiple showhome styles for the top house builders at the time, learning how to craft aspirational interiors that would appeal to all tastes.
By 1999 confident in the skills she had acquired, Jan took the leap and founded Fusion Interior Design, bringing together her expertise in residential interiors, styling, and project co-ordination.
Since then, she has helped transform hundreds of homes across Surrey and beyond, creating spaces that reflect the unique personalities of her clients while maintaining a keen eye for elegance, comfort, and practicality.
CO-FOUNDER
Jason Barnett – The Practical Eye Behind the Design
Jason’s career began in the flooring industry, where he spent many years in retail before moving into the commercial sector. Managing large-scale contracts across London and the South East, sourcing and installing all types of flooring for blue-chip companies, corporate offices and private homes.
In 1997, Jason’s path took a new direction when he joined Roomservice Furnishing—the same leading showhome design company where Jan was already making waves. Tasked with managing their flooring requirements nationwide, Jason became an integral part of the design process, working closely with designers and project leads to ensure every showhome had the perfect foundation.
A department move saw him running a team dealing with corporate rental properties installing complete homes and apartments ready for clients to move into.
By 2000, armed with extensive experience in both commercial and residential interiors, Jason joined Jan at Fusion Interior Design. His deep knowledge of materials, finishes, and large-scale project coordination perfectly complements Jan’s creative vision—together, they form a dynamic wife and husband design duo.
Over the years, Jason has also trained under a master craftsman, further honing his skills in fine detail work and decorative finishes. Today, he oversees all decorating and small build projects at Fusion, ensuring that every element of a design is completed to the highest standard with care, precision, and a practical eye for longevity.
