“Helene had the hard task of taking over from another interior designer halfway through the complete refurbishment of my new flat. She skilfully picked up the threads, listened and observed acutely to my requirements, prepared images that suggested her creative ideas. From the start, Helene co-operated well with all the workmen already working on my flat. Helene approached a challenging project with inspiration and style while concentrating on fine details. She changed an awkwardly designed apartment into a warm, attractive and comfortable home. Her knowledge, friendly attitude, support and professionalism made my project a pleasure and not a chore. I highly recommend Helene for any project. Anonymous, Hampstead”

“We bought a probate house untouched since 1970 during lockdown. A big project. The external / architectural design we were happy to lead on (the black and white / numerical parts...). Both not being creative at all, we needed help to make the inside as good as the outside. A friend recommended Amy, at first I was worried she might fall into the classic 'designer that just spends your money' territory, we were totally wrong. Amy stuck to the budget, challenged us on spending more on key items, but also sourced from ebay or vinterior and came up with some real bargains that looked fantastic. We wanted a snug with cosy log burner and period look that our family could play games in on the floor, watch tv in and also had an air of 'grown up space' about it, so we could escape post kids were in bed and feel luxurious. She worked with our builder / joiner exceptionally well - they started offering her tea on arrival each time! She is calm, fun, unruffled. In the midst of the stressful chaos she brought us excitement of what the room could be at the end and delivered. I remember the first time she showed me the 'mood board' of all the colours, fabrics, trims etc, I was over the moon and and couldn't quite believe we'd have something at the end so wonderful, but just from a small area with bits of material in that's what she created!. What was clever though was that Amy tweeked as she went along, changing minor lights, throws, colours, side tables etc, depending on what she found, all of which fitted, but were our choice not hers. That made her approach really personal for us. She was never overpowering or pushy, but would hint to her favourite, after, we'd considered ours. Even before we were half way through i'd asked her to look into creating our bedroom, I was convinced already it would match what we wanted. Again it did, in budget and now it's complete I've asked her to help with the hall and kitchen. I'm so glad she was recommended and have told her i'm not sure how I'd have ever felt so happy with the rooms without her input. She's easy to work with, responsive, tailored to you and from a financial perspective can flex her pricing to support your budget / requirement. Which in the long run saves you money compared to what you'd probably pay if you were left to go it alone. Definitely get her involved!!!”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Owl Design to achieve our dream home; bringing to life our ideas and creating a beautiful interior. Simone took the time to understand what we wanted to achieve from the design and through her knowledge and eye for working with colour, fabric and texture created our dream home. Owl Design handled everything very professionally on budget and within our time frame. Would highly recommend!”
