TV Talent & Specialists - Brands
Linda Barker is best known as a leading TV presenter and interior design expert. With a string of impressive prime time TV shows behind her, Linda was an early pioneer, now credited with instilling a passion for homes and interiors in the nation’s psyche. Linda was one of the key names behind the landmark BBC TV series ‘Changing Rooms’, which achieved phenomenal success and went on to be shown across the world, and firmly cemented Linda as the nation’s favourite design expert.
Linda originally trained as an artist, but was drawn in to the world of interior design, where her eye for colour and her impeccable taste ensured the commissions rolled in. Her client list quickly grew to encompass celebrity homes, restaurants and retail outlets and as word spread, she was approached for TV presenting roles. Her ability to create amazing interior spaces on a tight budget singled Linda out from her contemporaries and she remains committed to this design philosophy. Linda is also a fervent fan of traditional crafts, and has played a part in the booming contemporary craft revival, championing decorative crafts and 'up-cycling' as a way to add style to any home. Linda also consults on interior brands and private property developments.
Ever the entrepreneur, Linda developed her love of interiors and design in to a flourishing online retail business, which has received great praise from the media and consumers alike.
This, and Linda’s regular appearances on popular TV entertainment shows keep Linda top of mind and include her regularly appearing on ITV’s This Morning programme, which has seen Linda expanding in to a broader lifestyle remit where she can combine her other passions of food, fitness and health. Her success on the TV show Splash! won her a horde of new fans and gave her the opportunity to show her seriously impressive health and fitness credentials.
Linda’s sunny personality, combined with her approachable demeanour and her unrivalled experience within the broad lifestyle sector, continue to make her a popular choice with brands looking to engage on a more personal level with their customers.
