Downsizing Professionals in Biggin Hill, Kent

“I was very impressed with Annette Henry at Gage property interiors who demonstrated professionalism and commitment throughout this property development project. She helped me to source the opportunity on Marylands road, Maida Vale and undertake a full reconfiguration and refurbishment of this three-bedroom lower ground floor flat. Annie has a fantastic creative eye for interior design; styling the flat by utilising and enhancing the flow of light throughout the property, which I thought was amazing, given the complexity of the project. Also my involvement was kept to minimum as she project managed the whole scheme from start to finish; regularly keeping me up-to-date with progress and dealing with all the snagging issues which i fully appreciated. I will certainly be using Annie and Gage Interiors for my next scheme.”

“I can't thank Debbie enough for her services regarding my interiors project. She isextremetly knowledgeable and gave me helpful recommendations. She was prompt in her dealings with me and provided excellent advice and support.”

“I utilised Caroline’s two hour consultation service (£95) as I desperately needed some advice and ideas for my neglected 1930s hallway. As I don’t live locally, I gave Caroline some ideas and photos via text message about what I liked and didn’t like, my preferred colour palate, and what my priorities were. After some questions from Caroline and some very useful exercises looking at existing spaces and colours, and how we used the hall, she offered some simple solutions which were easily implemented. Simple things like changing the positioning of the existing lighting made a dramatic difference. Caroline then compiled a mood board for me on Pinterest with ideas for paint colours, storage solutions and suggestions for light fittings. She also made recommendations on how I could achieve a modern and coordinated hall that tied in with the existing 1930s features, yet wasn’t overly ‘matchy’. This was complemented with detailed information about sourcing items and recommending paint finishes. Caroline very cleverly sketched her ideas onto my original photo to give me an idea of what my hall could look like. This was really invaluable in helping me ‘see’ my new hall before I started work. I felt that Caroline very quickly ‘got’ what I was after. She was really friendly & approachable, responsive and offered really helpful, practical and straightforward suggestions. She didn’t impose her own tastes and encouraged me to develop my own. Initially I felt that I didn’t really know what I wanted but after conversations with Caroline, I began to gain confidence. I cannot recommend Caroline’s service highly enough. She was great fun to work with and the entire process was really enjoyable.”

“Emilie was brilliant. She did a complete renovation of my Victorian terrace, upstairs and down, including kitchen extension and reviving some original features that had been stripped away. She took my (attempts at explaining) my style and turned it into an actual vision. She gave me solutions to using the space which I had been defeated by and saved me a lot of money on bad furniture decisions. The contractors Emilie brought in were great too. A friendly, hard working team I came to know and like well. Before she got to work, I basically regretted buying my house. The house had so many issues and we didn't have a lot of room in the budget, but she delivered a home I never want to leave. She is very friendly and professional, never lets you feel like you're alone. Highly recommend.”

“When I was seeking ideas for a knock through layout for an open plan family room, Piur & Co were really helpful and came up with designs we had not even thought of and solved the issues that we had in our home. They provided very detailed floor plans that we could use to go forward. When possible amendments (purely due to budget) were discussed Piur & Co happily did this for me. Highly rated and so helpful and creative.”

“Lisa David worked on the installation of my new bathroom. I couldn't have done it without her. I'd been trying for a year to get this done but it had all felt too much with all the decisions to be made and how to put it all together. Then Lisa offered her services and I now have the bathroom of my dreams. My bathroom was small with tall ceilings. The initial meeting, Lisa and I went through what i wanted and she came up with some great ideas that no-one else had thought of (i.e. builders and friends) like moving the door to free up a wall, installing high level cupboards that she then designed and she found a firm that made purpose built doors to fit etc. I wanted to choose the items so we drew up a list of what was needed, I selected a few choices of each item in the bathroom brochures and we went through it together to finalise. I liked having a 2nd view as without it, I don't think I could have done it on my own & her knowledge/experience was invaluable in helping me decide. She drew up initial 3d sketches so I could visualise the space which was brilliant to see before I started ordering things. She knew builders who were fantastic and that removed some stress. She helped order things, source items, was always there if I had questions and would chat with the builders about what was possible as we went along finalising everything. She would challenge the builders on things to find the best way of installation, what might be possible etc. A big strength of hers is communication so she is clearly spoken and direct, trustworthy, transparent and honest. So as she said, even with all the planning, issues may occur but when 2 small issues did, that required me to make a decision, she helped me sort them easily. I don't think all tradespeople/professions do what they say when they will but Lisa did. I liked the flexibility of the service Lisa offered and I could ask for as much or as little help as I wanted. She would go and see the bathroom every few days to check all was in order and her good relationship with the builders helped the installation go more smoothly I am sure. I am delighted with my bathroom, its exceeded expectations and without Lisa, it would not be this lovely or might not have even happened. The worrying about the process was certainly much reduced. And she saved me money with her contacts at bathroom suppliers. Friends love it and some think I have extended the room given how much more I have fitted in but its just the clever design Lisa came up with. I cannot recommend Lisa and her services enough which are quite unique..”

“St James design was recommended to me by a colleague in work when I was working in London I hired James to carry out a bathroom installation at my house in Berlin. On his first visit we went through designs of the type of bathroom I could have Within the area given. I wanted a bathroom that offered a calm and appealing approach whilst being minimalistic. I wanted to implement a clean storage systems that was hidden within the wall. James managed to supply me a beautiful shower with soft porcelain Tiles a nice glass shower screen and a beautiful bathroom suite. Everything is hidden away and it looks very clean and spacious. I will be definitely recommending him to my friends and family”

“Highly recommend Orsetto Interiors for any redesign plans you have in your home. A great level of personal service and excellent at turning a vision into reality.”

“Anna Burles approached me in 2013 for some help with one of her projects for a flagship coffee shop in an architectural landmark in Novosibirsk, Russia. My knowledge of the Russian language as well as the design market was a skill her team didn't have at the time so I jumped right in. It took me some time to source the materials, equipment and various suppliers for her project which resulted in a 3 day intense trip to the capital of Russia with herself and another colleague to meet with the selected suppliers and visit numerous showrooms. We had a fantastic time with Anna in Moscow and I am delighted that we were such a good team during our short burst of cooperation. Anna is a fantastically creative person with a vast practical experience across multiple design fields, to which she has now added some Russia-specific knowledge. She is an amazing conceptual designer who can tackle anything - from brand identity to bespoke wardrobes.”
