Thank you for creating!

So, I don’t have any tea in particular! BUT she’s gotta be one of the most attention seeking “influencers” out there.

even her having this thread, is going to make her feel special

she just comes across so rude, so abrupt and so unlikeable on all her stories. I can guarantee brands that work with her are disappointed, look at her H and M one just yesterday for instance.

She always wants attention re Georgie wearing younger child’s clothes. My child does too. It’s really common! Probably just a low percentile! But CTD has to make a drama out of it...

desperate to know other people’s thoughts on her...!!!!

Ok my opinion about Claire Totman Designs. I love her kitchen designs although can get very samey but I get that’s what the public are after at the moment....me included . However she’s such a moany glass half empty kind of girl. Be grateful for all the work that’s come your way from lockdown and your e-service. Also cannot stand her arse licking of bigger accounts.

Yes!!!! Nailed it! It’s like it’s a bad thing she’s got loads of work. Really dramtises the fact there’s like a week delay on replies .

when she worked with Lydia Millen, couldn’t stand the way she posted the clip of the vlog on her story. Sooo cringe.

I don’t get her constant pointing out of her daughter’s small size. Does it really matter? As long as she’s developing and hitting milestones it doesn’t matter what size she is. We don’t give a shit what size clothes she’s wearing. PS and I hate to say this but G is not model material.

Crying.
So so so sooooooo true. I feel like Claire worries she’s a bit “fat” (I’m not saying she is) but she does seem to eat out loooooads, and get takeaways loads and has never been the thin pretty girl. I feel like it’s some sort of unconscious thing she’s doing with Georgie where she is wanting her to be the pretty thin girl that Claire never was.

claire has said she was bullied at school, which is sad, but in light of this, I really feel like she feels like she is someone now who is special.

Ugh can’t stand her. SO rude unfollowed her ages ago. Thinks she’s way above everyone else. Designs all the same which to me means they’re shit if she can’t think outside the box and do something different. Just can’t stand her. And who cares what size her kid is, mines 2 and wears 9-12 month stuff!

She was actually very pretty around her Uni days but has become very mumsy! I get the impression she misses how she looked but don’t we all

I agree I wonder whether she would be able to create anything that’s not grey with marble with an island.

SO rude!!!

Agree her responses to questions and comments is really abrupt. She’s clearly from a very wealthy family and thinks she’s a cut above. He interiors are nice but there’s nothing particularly unique about them....

She's clearly a good kitchen designer, but she paints everything in colour matched Cornforth White.

She does everything in Cornforth white because she has zero imagination whatsoever. I actually don’t think she comes from money at all. Her previous home was very modest compared to the houses she works on. Judging by her stories she seems to have one rich aunt who has a MASSIVE house that she likes to brag about (maybe hoping to left to her or Georgie in a will one day?!) and that’s about it.

she doesn’t show G much anymore in posts which I think is a good thing for the little ones privacy, but I don’t thinks that’s why she did it. Does anyone remember a while ago now she posted a picture of G and then a story a few hours later moaning how little likes and engagement it got so she won’t be posting personal pics anymore? SOOO desperate for likes, I was cringing.

One of my biggest issues with Claire (Aside from the fact she’s got no imagination and recycles the same design for every development project) is that she only ‘supports’ other large accounts. It’s the likes of her and Becks and Berkshire Build who contributed massively to the circle jerk culture that makes up the interiors IG community. Only shouting out each other’s grey and cornforth white homes. Given Claire’s own experience she had at school being the odd one out you’d think she’d more invested in genuinely uplifting smaller accounts rather than brown nosing the big ones in the hopes they’ll like her.

Yes yes yes!!!
I know the exact house you mean that she shows off about, like camera slowly pans round to show it off, she trying to be subtle. It’s all really try hard!

totally remember that Georgie post she was fuming wasnt she re the engagement! Then she shares (during lockdown I think) all this stuff about Georgie being ill, poor child put all over her stories looking so poorly. So attention Seeking for sympathy. Shameful!!!!

Her Mother fronts the cash for the renos. The first big one she did that she shows off and passes off as her own was actually the family home that was renovated and the project she’s got coming up is also her mother’s house. The whole “worked my way up narrative” is a little out of touch when you come from an obviously very wealthy and well connected family.

and the thing is she, like a lot of others, will say people that criticise them are jealous or whatever but actually it’s the omission and lack of transparency that grinds my gears.

Yes you’re right it’s clear the mother finances the projects and Claire is the “creative” behind them although they all end up looking the same pretty much. I guess if the formula works why not but it’s not rocket science. Cornforth White, marble, island, panelling and repeat.... The Millwater house in Cobham was featured in a TV renovation programme a couple of years ago which is when I started following her.
