We wanted to update our tired lounge. It had lots of character but we felt it had dated and was looking a little old and boring. We didn’t want to change the furniture so asked Kirstie if she could inject a bit of colour and style. She was brilliant and did exactly as we asked. She makes sure she gets to know what you really want to achieve and nudges you in the right direction – which was exactly what we wanted. She suggested shutters would make the room look cleaner and more modern. She made sure we picked the right colour (to match internal doors and other paintwork) and advised the best position on the will – details that we just wouldn’t have thought about on our own. She suggested new light fittings that are modern but in keeping with the room.

She then helped us choose an accent colour that would make the most of the existing furniture and colours, sending us sample cushion, rug and artwork pictures to get us on track

We’re really delighted with the finished room. It feels fresher and more modern, yet remains a cosy and comfortable family room which we all enjoy spending time in.

Kirstie is professional and talented and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make changes – large or small – in their home.
