Studio Leto

So good, she understood our desired outcome for the space and gave us a range of ideas and honed them for us as we fed back our thoughts. Stayed within budget when sourcing items and knew how to bring a cohesive design together. It was kitchen and living space know through with new kitchen, flooring and furniture.

Lidia is excellent. A source of apparently endless good ideas with a rare facility to quickly translate a loose set of wants into a feasible, desirable solution. Really easy to work with, accommodating and conscientious. Can't recommend highly enough!

Lidia is wonderful to work with and I can’t recommend her enough. She really took the time to understand what we needed as a family from our space and delivered designs that were incredibly thoughtful, practical and fun. I was particularly impressed by her approach to colour – she came up with beautiful combinations that I never would have thought of on my own. We had a couple of moments during our project when we needed to make decisions quickly and she made sure she was on hand to help us at short notice. Overall, our experience of working with Lidia was that she went above and beyond to make sure we got the best results.

This is my second review as I have employed Lidia again to design 3 bathrooms and a living space. After our first time working together, I knew that we wanted to work with Lidia again to optimise some of our other living spaces. She makes the renovation and decoration process so simple and unstressful. It doesn't feel like a big deal when working with Lidia - I'm always optimistic and enthusiastic about the build process because I'm so excited to see the design she creates come to life. In this tranch of work, we changed the layout of our ground floor, into something that works much better for our growing family when we socialise, and has a super clever use of previously unclaimed space, to create a downstairs toilet room. The living space is now one that the family gravitates to, and which feels peaceful during the day and into the evening due to clever use of shape, layout and colour. We then went on to renovate two bathrooms - one larger family bathroom, centred around our dream bath. the result is a luxurious and yet simple space, that has clean lines and tranquild colours, and more muted lighting options to make for a relaxing bathing experience. I cannot believe this is the same space that held our previous bathroom. the final project i think was actually the toughest brief: make a tiny but overused shower room with a footprint of 1.5 x 2m into something that four people (admittedly two smaller ones included) can be in at the same time at peak hours of the day when needed. the space is bright (despite no windows) compact and extremely hard working but feels significantly bigger than the it's former self. It's impressive. All three projects were a joy to work with Lidia on, and I'm sad we don't have anything else in the house to add her magic to! If you're looking for a thoughtful and ever-optimistic design partner who will make your house work harder for you, I cannot recommend Lidia highly enough.

I worked with Lidia on the lighting design for my house. She is exceptionally skilled and thoughtful in her approach, taking time to understand my likes and requirements as well as providing practical guidance. She suggested elements and designs I had never considered and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! She also worked with suppliers on my behalf and secured trade discounts for me. I would absolutely recommend Lidia for any interior design elements.

Lidia helped turn my tired grey flat into something that makes me feel like I'm on holiday every day. I knew the type of colours I wanted, but I didn't know how to put them together to tell a story. Lida also helped me with the little touches such as colourful accessories with cushions and a rug for colour continuity throughout the flat. I now love spending time in my flat surrounded by colours that make me happy.

Lidia initially took time to understand how we use our home and our interior preferences; with some simple changes she brought cohesion, continuity and style to our home within our budget. We will be using her again for for our next home project!

It was great working with Lidia! I had no idea where to start in redecorating my flat. She helped me work out what I liked and didn’t like; she knew what would work and what wouldn’t; and she actually designed two whole rooms around items that had sentimental value to me. Brilliant! I thought working with a designer might mean I had to have things looking the way she wanted, but it was the opposite. She enabled me to know what I wanted and how to make that happen!

Since Lidia worked our magic on our lounge, it’s the first time I’ve been able to fully relax in the space. Her can do attitude and knowing smile betray her incredible eye for colour and composition. It still blows me away how quick, easy and economical her suggestions were to implement, and yet the space feels entirely different. More recently, she has helped us change the layout and feel of our ground floor. This was a much larger project and the result is flawless and every bit as peaceful but practical as we hoped. Can’t wait to transform the bathroom in due course, with Lidia & Studio Leto, naturally!
