Space Planning Services in Ilminster, Somerset, UK

“Kirsty and Elke were really great to work with. They listened to what I wanted and stuck to my budget. I loved the way they came up with creative ideas I wouldn't have thought of and it all really worked. The end result was so much better than I was expecting. I love my living room now. Everyone admires it and I just find it so calm to sit in and read a book. I never thought I was someone who would hire a professional designer, but I just couldn't make up my mind about colours and curtains and now I'm a complete convert. In fact, I'm thinking of hiring them to do the rest of the house!”

“When we moved into our new home we had a base of grey walls and carpets and really wanted some artwork and statement furniture to make the living spaces really pop. Alex helped us pick an accent colour of teal and as well as recommending new items she also advised on up scaling our original furniture with chalk paints and fabrics. Her vision was and is absolutely, undeniably brilliant. Thank you Alex”

“Having been used to furnishing period properties, I suspected I would be in trouble when I purchased a large, square-roomed flat with no intrinsic features to guide me. Fortunately I found Lisa who, over a period of several months, has delivered a home that is both stylish and comfortable. She is very professional and needed to be extremely patient, since I knew what I didn’t want rather than what I did. After an initial meeting on site she produced mood-boards that were subsequently added to and subtracted from. Having sourced pieces that she felt would work Lisa accompanied me on two days of pre-arranged meetings with suppliers, her presence being invaluable in keeping me focused. She ordered items once decided upon and arranged for their delivery, which sometimes required time-consuming input on her part since I am absent from the UK for periods of time. Lisa has great ideas, is a delight to work with and really cares about what she does. In short, I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, talented and pro-active interior designer.”

“Michelle is a talented and creative designer. She has brilliant vision as to how a project will turn out. Her help to me for two projects was indispensable. Michelle has an instinctive feel for colour and style and manages to read exactly what I wanted but adding her own thought....this made the projects I had from interesting to truly stunning. Michelle is calm and fun to work with. She is honest and caring and above all truly interested in each project.”

“Many thanks to Annie , whose knowledge and vision helped us enormously with the design for our extension. She understood exactly what we were trying to achieve. We found it very difficult to visualise the final layout, but Annie’s ideas were excellent, and her skill in a visualisation so we could actually ‘see’ the final outcome, provided us with exactly what we needed. It gave us a focus and an idea of where we were going. Planning an extension and modifying an existing layout is not for everyone; it is very easy to get it wrong, and end up having to modify a poor start! I would recommend Annie without hesitation to anyone thinking about any sort of interior design or architectural or structural changes to their house. Thank you so much Annie!”

“Joanne is an absolute pleasure to work with, friendly, intentive and a true profesional. She ensured our 2 x £50k+ renovation projects came in on time, in budget and the results exceeded all our expectations. We would and could not have achieved the works without Joanne’s guidance, management and persistance to achieve an outstanding, durable and flexable design for our formal and functional rooms. I would recommend Joanne without hesitation and we will be utilising her skills once again during our phase 3 and 4 renovations.”

“Becky is an incredibly talented designer, who truly cares for her clients. She creates environments that really reflect their lifestyle, accessibility requirements and aesthetic tastes. I highly recommend her.”

“Jane recently helped us during our renovation to make the most of our open plan kitchen-diner / living space. I was really struggling with an area that I felt was slightly too small to fit in everything (kitchen, dinner table and sofa) but was too big not to have the Sofa. The area also had a few funny angles due to it being an old farmhouse with new extension on the side. Jane was such a help and ended up giving us 8 separate options, all of which would have worked for us and met our brief. Her ability to visual a space and provide layout options that really work from a practical point of view but which are also aesthetically beautiful is second to none and she is also a joy to work with, a serene oasis in the chaos of a building site. Thanks Jane!”

“As an overseas client looking to renovate our period property in Bath from a distance, PiD were invaluable in helping us achieve the home we have always dreamt of. Barbara acted as our eyes and ears on the ground, bringing a ready made team of skilled and reliable tradespeople to the table saving us the headache of trying to source them ourselves. The work carried out included replacing the roof, installing new wiring, upgrading the plumbing, designing and fitting a new master bathroom and kitchen, and converting the cellars into liveable space, along with complete redecoration - everything from paint colours to carpets and curtains. PiD also carried out a refurbishment of our two bedroom cottage, adjacent to the house - which again included a new bathroom and kitchen and complete redecoration. We are absolutely delighted with the end results, which is due in no small part to Barbara's ability to meet and indeed exceed the expectations of a sometimes highly demanding client!”

“Beverley managed a major renovation of our semi-detached cottage in Poole and I thoroughly recommend her as a dedicated and professional project manager. Beverley picked up the first phase of the work for me once I had already done the design and appointed some contractors and so I was extremely grateful to her for her flexibility as I handed over the reins through autumn 2020. As the project gathered pace Beverley took up a huge amount of work that would otherwise have fallen to my wife and I. We have three young kids and both work full time, so it is no exaggeration to say that our project would have quickly failed without Beverley being able to keep contractors on track, liaise between trades to manage dependencies (a massive job) and set quality standards and track snags. As 2021 arrived we started home schooling, continued full time working and needed to get our renovation over the line. Not only did Beverley make sure the initial work to entirely re-landscape our garden was completed to time and standard, but she also planned our phase 2 interior renovation and delivered this to the exact budget and schedule, working around the narrow period when we could vacate the top floor of our house. The results for our living space and for our family are fantastic and simply wouldn’t have been achieved without Beverley’s tireless work on our behalf.”
