Downsizing Services in Bourton on the Water, Gloucestershire, UK

“Vahena is a very professional, gifted and passionate interior architect. We needed to remodel an outdated 1960's house we had recently purchased to make it our home and Vahena provided great input as much in terms of spatial design and layout as in terms of kitchen or bathroom design. She provided concept boards, samples for all the materials she recommended, costing for all the furniture and fittings, from floorings to bathroom tiles, kitchen to bathroom furniture and fittings, light fixtures to window treatments. She challenged us to step out of our comfort zone on some aspects of the design and we are so happy we did: the bespoke staircase she designed for us is one of the most stunning elements of our new home. Vahena is truly easy to work with and made the project hassle and stress-free for us! I wish we had used her services with our previous property, it would have avoided us a lot of headaches and time spent working with the architect, sourcing and managing a builder - all that with both my husband and I having a very young family and 2 full-time jobs. I highly recommend Vahena for large property renovation projects. Ours simply would not have happened without her. If anyone living around Cheltenham (UK) is thinking about using her services and would like to see what was achieved with our house, get in touch!”

“I engaged the services of Catriona from Tulipa last year in order to provide my rather sad and overly magnolia drenched cottage a much needed new lease of life. My initial brief to Catriona was to offer advice on paint colours, as I had been descending into a state of overwhelm over the choices available. The odd forays into bolder colours hadn't really worked, and I needed help. Catriona was able to come into my home, identify exactly what I wished to achieve from the space, and then make colour recommendations which proved to be absolutely spot on. My cottage seems lighter, calmer and certainly a more relaxing place to be. In addition, by taking the time to find out about me and my life style, Catriona was able to offer a wealth of advice and make subtle changes to the positioning of furniture and interior decor, which has completely changed the way I use my home spaces. I will be employing her again shortly for a further project.”

“Emily & Polly did a brilliant job with our Barn conversation Gloucestershire. They really listen to what we wanted and delivered that and more. They were able to keep the country feel to our house, whilst also bringing in more modern twists. They worked brilliantly with the contractors, helped us understand what was needed and when, whilst working within our budget. We really enjoyed the experience and would recommend them to any one looking to do a full renovation project.”

“Jo is the first designer that I have ever worked with and it has been a truly fantastic experience. She has only done a guest bedroom for me so far, but I think this will be the beginning of a long relationship. The scheme she came up with was brilliant and was something I never would have come up with on my own, but is exactly what I wanted. Her taste is impeccable and she has been very sensitive to both my preferences and my budget constraints, choosing a mixture of high street, high end and bespoke items, all working with colours and pieces I originally had in the room and wanted to keep. Her advice has been spot on, and she is incredibly easy to work with, gently steering me toward good decisions that are practical as well as beautiful. I am so happy with the result, and find myself walking into the room for no reason at all, other than to be surrounded by such loveliness. I can't wait to get started on the next project with Jo and see what she comes up with! Whatever the case, I know it will be beautiful.”

“Harriet is an incredible designer and project manager, who has transformed out house and made the whole process seamless. Cannot recommend her enough.”

“Professional, original, on budget beautiful customised interiors. Loates designs were efficient and thorough. They treated my penthouse design and fit out as a personal project and even helped manage trades that had nothing to do with them. A very reliable, warm and overall fantastic interior design firm, highly recommended.”

“Transformed my conservatory into a multi-functional room. The colour scheme and furniture ideas were spot on. Nicola is a highly professional and passionate interior designer with lots of good ideas. Highly recommended.”

“We work with Luna design on a regular basis, providing the Audio Visual equipment on their installs. We cannot recommend Luna design enough, their attention to detail is fantastic, and the finished product always brings a big smile to their clients face. We look forward to working with luna again in the future.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Victoria, her vision for our new space has been executed perfectly and on time. From the finest detail.”

“We gave Rhian a brief that outlined our lifestyle requirements together with some key words that reflected us as people and what we wanted from the project. Her interpretation of the brief in her proposal took that and delivered in ways both thrilling and unexpected. It was emotional. It was a completely five star experience. We spent several hours going through her proposal for the apartment, talking through the various mood boards she presented, discussing colour, design, pattern and light. The proposal was highly professional and took due account of the technical aspects of these issues, especially with regard to light, which is an issue in our property. The proposal also demonstrated a sympathetic level of creativity – it reflected who we are and want to be rather than who the designer is, which was a concern we had at the beginning of the process. In short - Rhian got us. Not having done something like this before, we were uncertain about the process. We need not have worried. The communication at the presentation and over the following weeks has been exemplary. We are more than happy with the value for money we have received.”
