Bespoke Shelving Professionals in Ealing, Greater London

“We asked Josephine to help with our house refurbishment which included colour schemes, flooring, new furniture, room layouts and designing a shelving/storage unit for our study. She was absolutely lovely to work with, very collaborative, responsive and patient, and helped us to be bolder and braver in the choices we made. We are delighted with the results and would have no hesitation in recommending her for any project.”

“Well what can I say... Sacha has been a revelation in completing the renovation of my newly purchased property in Chelsea. I first contacted her in April 2022 just before I acquired the house as I didn't want to waste time. I had to choose between her and several other Interior Designers, HoneyBee stood apart for me because of a few factors. Firstly, I was getting Sacha instead of being 'palmed off' onto someone that operated under the banner of a design company which meant a lot to me because I wanted the person who was responsible for the design of the showcased projects to be the person that actually conducted my one. Her prior projects drew me in because of her use of colour in a conservative and tasteful way. I'm a pretty conservative person, but didn't want the place to appear overly monochrome. I was worried about making permanent changes that would jar against the tranquility of the space I wanted to create. Sacha was able to convince me that the use of colour via accessories and the occasion stand out piece would accomplish my objectives. I also really appreciated the way in which we were able to communicate likes and dislikes with each other! Sacha worked within budget constraints which was very important to me. It meant that we could strategic apportion the investment into places in the house where I would gain the maximum impact and enjoyment. She was consistently communicating with me the trade-offs between nice to have items and must have items. Ultimately this allowed the budget to cover all areas of the property in a very effective way. A significant proportion of the renovation work was bespoke cabinetry and custom finishes. Needless to say the design of such items and choice of seasoned carpenters, joiners, flooring specialists was absolutely crucial in achieving a very high quality of finish. Sacha led the detailed design and selection of all the on-site professionals. Being a time poor professional working in the city and abroad, there would be no way in which I could have conducted the project on my own. Sacha assumed total responsibility of coordinating all the contractors and professionals on-site, even scheduling the deliveries and quality controlling all the items that arrived. Sacha even arranged the returns and refunds of items (in some cases negotiating compensation for poor service!!!) Her attention to detail was incredible, she was very (very!) demanding of all suppliers involved o ensure that her exacting standards were met. As the homeowner, I do not think I would personally have achieved the same output had I tried to complete the same activities. Her estimation of costs/timeliness of the project were absolutely spot on - something I never thought I would ever say about a house renovation! Lastly, I would say Sacha is a joy to work with and I would count her as a friend. I would highly recommend HoneyBee to anyone undertaking a significant project. I will be using Sacha for my next project!”

“Wow! Born & Bred Studio have surpassed our expectations, taking a mishmash of ideas and half-baked inspiration and somehow creating a bespoke, incredible personal, cohesive style and design. This project was especially challenging due to lockdown, but Lisa handled it beautifully. We conducted all sessions virtually with video and lots of photographs, and we never felt that this might be a hindrance to the experience as it was very professional and easy to manage with Lisa's expertise. After an initial consultation, Lisa delivered 3 "looks", which were all incredibly impressive, making it hard to choose! But Lisa listens carefully and hears what you are/are not saying, and is able to deliver the right look just for you. We could not be more happy with our space and cannot thank Born & Bred enough for their professionalism, their can-do attitude, their attention to detail, and their finish. Our space looks incredible and we just love it!”
