Downsizing Services in Arlesey, Bedfordshire, UK

“I was lucky enough to discover Alison through instagram and am very pleased to have opted for her 'Helping Hand' design package. We have various storage conundrums and with seemingly infinite ways of solving them (none of which seemed quite ideal) it was incredibly useful to have Alison's experienced, practical and creative ideas to narrow things down. I now feel much braver and look forward to taking the plunge!”

“I utilised Caroline’s two hour consultation service (£95) as I desperately needed some advice and ideas for my neglected 1930s hallway. As I don’t live locally, I gave Caroline some ideas and photos via text message about what I liked and didn’t like, my preferred colour palate, and what my priorities were. After some questions from Caroline and some very useful exercises looking at existing spaces and colours, and how we used the hall, she offered some simple solutions which were easily implemented. Simple things like changing the positioning of the existing lighting made a dramatic difference. Caroline then compiled a mood board for me on Pinterest with ideas for paint colours, storage solutions and suggestions for light fittings. She also made recommendations on how I could achieve a modern and coordinated hall that tied in with the existing 1930s features, yet wasn’t overly ‘matchy’. This was complemented with detailed information about sourcing items and recommending paint finishes. Caroline very cleverly sketched her ideas onto my original photo to give me an idea of what my hall could look like. This was really invaluable in helping me ‘see’ my new hall before I started work. I felt that Caroline very quickly ‘got’ what I was after. She was really friendly & approachable, responsive and offered really helpful, practical and straightforward suggestions. She didn’t impose her own tastes and encouraged me to develop my own. Initially I felt that I didn’t really know what I wanted but after conversations with Caroline, I began to gain confidence. I cannot recommend Caroline’s service highly enough. She was great fun to work with and the entire process was really enjoyable.”

“Emilie was brilliant. She did a complete renovation of my Victorian terrace, upstairs and down, including kitchen extension and reviving some original features that had been stripped away. She took my (attempts at explaining) my style and turned it into an actual vision. She gave me solutions to using the space which I had been defeated by and saved me a lot of money on bad furniture decisions. The contractors Emilie brought in were great too. A friendly, hard working team I came to know and like well. Before she got to work, I basically regretted buying my house. The house had so many issues and we didn't have a lot of room in the budget, but she delivered a home I never want to leave. She is very friendly and professional, never lets you feel like you're alone. Highly recommend.”

“Having never used an interior designer I didn’t know what to expect but I am delighted I invited Daisy to give me some ideas. Daisy combined everyone’s wishes and must haves for the two rooms with her vision and expertise and created a comfortable bedroom and a functional office. Daisy was easy to communicate with and gave alternative ideas to choose from. Everything was easy to visualise as she created computer generated 3D designs. Most importantly Daisy works within a budget but doesn’t skimp on design.”

“I was very impressed with Annette Henry at Gage property interiors who demonstrated professionalism and commitment throughout this property development project. She helped me to source the opportunity on Marylands road, Maida Vale and undertake a full reconfiguration and refurbishment of this three-bedroom lower ground floor flat. Annie has a fantastic creative eye for interior design; styling the flat by utilising and enhancing the flow of light throughout the property, which I thought was amazing, given the complexity of the project. Also my involvement was kept to minimum as she project managed the whole scheme from start to finish; regularly keeping me up-to-date with progress and dealing with all the snagging issues which i fully appreciated. I will certainly be using Annie and Gage Interiors for my next scheme.”

“I can't thank Debbie enough for her services regarding my interiors project. She isextremetly knowledgeable and gave me helpful recommendations. She was prompt in her dealings with me and provided excellent advice and support.”

“When we moved house last year we wanted to make our home look and feel special. Natalie Roukin Interiors managed to do exactly that, transforming dated décor into a beautiful stylish home. Natalie was fantastic to work with, she really took the time to understand what we liked and disliked and gave us lots of options to choose from that were in budget. We are absolutely delighted with the results and would definitely recommend using Natalie Roukin Interiors to transform your room or entire home. Nadine – St Albans”

“Hugo at Cranberryhome was very professional and listened carefully to my needs and budget expectations. Clever use of existing furniture and re design has given my open plan living room a much larger and more homely feel. The Master bedroom now feels so cosy with the Sanderson feature wallpaper and fresh bedlinen. I have had so many comments about my downstairs cloakroom from visitors, it looks like a showhouse interior, it really has the wow factor!”

“Haysey design is a very approachable business who always listens to their clients and accommodates their wants and needs whilst also picking up on subtle details about you as an individual to include in the final design so it really is what you want it to be. It has been a very fluid process where ideas have been banded around and the design has changed as we have moved forward so it will be a space entailing all our brief plus much more. Nic has a great skill base for design, instills confidence in you about your ideas, a fantastic eye for detail plus a very truthful manner so it is exactly what you desire.”
