We moved into a new home where Elaine had dressed the Show Home. We liked her work so much we asked her to helps us with window dressings and a design for our lounge.
She was so lovely to work with and produced a design that we fell in love with. Nothing is too much trouble and she makes every step simple and exciting.
She really got what we wanted and produced mood boards and 3D visuals that really helped us visualise our lounge.
The blinds and curtains were very well made excellent quality and the whole experience was stress free and just what we wanted.
We would use Elaine again and have recommended her to our neighbours and friends.

I cannot recommend Elaine highly enough, especially her professionalism warmth and vibrant personality especially during these trying times in lockdown. Despite the fact that we couldn’t meet personally, FaceTime, e mails and phone calls became the new norm. Elaine managed to deliver an amazing vision for my home, no easy task as I was unsure what look or colours I wanted. I cannot praise Elaine enough and would not hesitate in recommending her services.

Elaine is great to work with, she tried hard to get to know our style and taste and then produced something perfect but 100 times better than anything we could have come up with. She has a wonderful eye for style, colour and contrast. We’re so happy with our design and are very excited about the next phase. More...

We have worked with Elaine for many years on various projects from contemporary apartments to detached family homes and she is a joy to work with.
Elaine understands our needs and works with our budget to create a finished product that is always very well received. So much so that a number of our purchasers have asked to buy the furniture and accessories in the property.
Elaine is an excellent communicator, she will happily liaise with our suppliers and purchasers to design a home that is both functional and personal to them.
I have no hesitation in recommending Elaine for your future projects.
