GSK Bespoke Designs

We contacted Giovanna at GSK Bespoke Designs shortly after becoming empty-nesters, as our home no longer reflected the way we were living. What began as a vague idea of ‘refreshing the bedrooms’ quickly evolved into a complete re-imagining of our upstairs floor, and we could not be more grateful for Giovanna’s vision, sensitivity and guidance throughout the process. She transformed our children’s former bedrooms into beautifully inviting guest rooms that feel sophisticated yet still meaningful for when the kids come home to visit. The bespoke joinery she designed for the loft was a stroke of genius; it allowed us to preserve our children’s memorabilia in a way that feels organised, respectful and surprisingly stylish — something we never thought possible. Giovanna completely reworked the layout of the rooms to make the space flow better and feel brighter. She curated all new FF&E and re-upholstered our living and dining room furniture, giving the entire ground floor an elevated, cohesive feel without losing the character of the home we love. Her bespoke bar cabinet has become one of our favourite pieces — functional, elegant and a real talking point when we entertain. What impressed us most was her ability to listen deeply and translate our needs into practical, thoughtful solutions that feel both luxurious and personal. The project has genuinely transformed how we live in our home. We wholeheartedly recommend GSK Bespoke Designs to anyone looking for a designer who brings expertise, intuition and a truly bespoke touch.” — L & J., London

GSK Interior Design Studio came recommended to us by friends. Giovanna, the head designer, impressed us from the start with her knowledge, professionalism and transparency. She took a lot of time with us on site to understand our preferences and our lifestyle. We are very happy with the service received and how she transformed our masterbedroom, guest wc and living room. We will ask for help again in future, once we are ready to invest more into our home.

We couldn’t be happier with the experience and results we had with GSK Bespoke Designs. From our first conversation with Giovanna, it was clear that she genuinely wanted to understand us—our lifestyle, our tastes, and even our little quirks. She didn’t just ‘decorate’ our home; she thoughtfully re-styled it in a way that feels both functional and deeply personal. Every room now feels like it belongs to us, with spaces that flow naturally and are tailored to how we actually live day to day. The attention to detail was amazing—each piece was carefully selected and felt meaningful, right down to the custom joinery and lighting that made everything come together beautifully. The team managed every step with such care, coordinating all the moving parts and making the process so much smoother than we’d imagined. Our home now feels more like “us” than we thought possible, and it’s such a joy to be here. We’d recommend GSK Bespoke Designs to anyone who wants their space to truly reflect who they are. Thank you for helping us create a home we genuinely love!

Giovanna is a creative and knowledgeable interior designer with compassion and integrity. We couldn’t be happier with the lovely new home she designed for us. Giovanna is also a highly capable project manager who has the client’s goal in mind and can work well with all different vendors. She handled unexpected situations very well, which helps us tremendously. I was not in the UK during the renovation. We only met once for project briefing in November 2023 and she was able to form a sense of what we are looking for as a family and achieved a successful delivery. It was impressive.

We are a busy family of 6 and we bought a new property near two of our children's new school. We needed help re-designing the rooms as they were not to our taste. Giovanna meticulously interviewed us to understand our lifestyle and personal preferences, We appointed Giovanna to take care of the project during the summer months while we were away on holiday. We came back just before the start to school to discover that our new home had been transformed even more beautiful than we had imagined. Every single part of the project had been taken care of without any headache of supervising work on our side. We are absolutely delighted with the interior design and her seamless project management in the execution.

We relocated to London in 2023 and bought a 3 bedroom in central London that needed to be gutted and completely refurbished from re-wiring, new floors, new bathrooms and kitchen. We could not bring any of our furniture from Italy, because of the tight spaces of this converted Victorian building into flats. We were stressed about the challenge ahead of us and being very busy also with our new jobs. Giovanna took away our worries and found rapid solutions to all challenges and turned a foreign place into our new home, a home we are so excited to live in.

Our 5 bedroom home was looking a little dated and we decided to hire an interior designer to re-design all bedrooms, reception rooms and hallway. Giovanna was recommended to us by friends of friends. We have been very impressed with her structured and transparent approach of the design process and the high level of service we have received throughout the process. She is proactive and responsive with an incredible attention to detail, empathy and understanding of our needs. We wanted to keep some of our furniture and we love the way she sourced new pieces and re-upholstered others and gave it a new look while preserving the original character we wanted. We absolutely love the result that was achieved.

Giovanna was referred to us. We are grateful for the recommendation. We needed a quick turnaround for our rental property as we did not want to lose generating rental income for too long. Communication was very effective and timings were respected. Her team worked with commitment and care and was very clean. We are also delighted with the new bathroom, kitchen and furniture: beautiful and practical, fit for the purpose. Our property has been completely transformed and we have improved our rental income by 60%.
