Downsizing Professionals in Calstock, Cornwall

“Jane recently helped us during our renovation to make the most of our open plan kitchen-diner / living space. I was really struggling with an area that I felt was slightly too small to fit in everything (kitchen, dinner table and sofa) but was too big not to have the Sofa. The area also had a few funny angles due to it being an old farmhouse with new extension on the side. Jane was such a help and ended up giving us 8 separate options, all of which would have worked for us and met our brief. Her ability to visual a space and provide layout options that really work from a practical point of view but which are also aesthetically beautiful is second to none and she is also a joy to work with, a serene oasis in the chaos of a building site. Thanks Jane!”

“We worked (and continue to work) with Ashton House on a variety of projects throughout the South Hams and find that their input, attention to detail and extensive knowledge of interior solutions provide a real benefit to our clients. They are an absolute pleasure to deal with!”

“Hianta Cassam Chenai undertook a redesign and planting of my Notting Hill garden. She did a very professional job. I was given a budget which was kept to, different planting schemes and then the execution of the final scheme which I accepted it has worked very well and is flourishing one year later and is much admired. I highly recommend the professionalism of Hianta- and now her company . I was kept informed and it was a pleasure to deal with Hianta.”

“I cannot recommend Rebecca, Liz and team highly enough. Their creativity, flair and professionalism are first class. That with their personal charm, patience and good humour made them a pleasure to work with. Our project is ongoing we have renovated a Georgian Victorian house and they have worked with us on colours, fabrics and design. We did not have a large budget but they rightly pride themselves on working with the full range of clients. The shop is a great place to browse at fabrics and other accessories and their window displays are always lovely.”

“Natalie's design and staging of a large house in Admiralty Street was absolutely stunning. The attention to detail in each room gave the property a stylish and classic edge which definitely sold a lifestyle rather than just the house. Beautifully done and will certainly recommend her to others I work with.”

“We received very valuable, professional and speedy service from Siobhan whilst she was working on our project in France this autumn. Siobhan put the vague ideas we had for the property into a practical and realistic plan with the added flair and creativity we could never have managed- and all working within our budget. We couldn't recommend Siobhan Hayles design enough and already have plans for future projects where we will call on her friendly service and innovative design ideas.”

“Velvet Shaw Design! What can I say about this lovely lady and her impeccable taste and interior design flair/ skill / passion! I was referred to Emma from Velvet Shaw Design by my Estate agents who highly recommend her and I’m very glad they did, I had a nice flat for sale that I personally renovated and it was just lacking that something to get it sold. As soon as I’d spoken to Emma I knew she was the right person to entrust the dressing of my flat and I gave her Carte-Blanche to do ‘her thing’ and I was amazed at the results when I finally saw them in the finished sales brochure . The clean minimal and yet sophisticated pallet of colours and fabrics she had used was perfect for my modern high end property and the simple but effective way she has dressed my flat is truely a testament to her professional talent and exquisite taste in the design process. I’ve been blown away by her approach and commitment to styling my property and I’d highly recommend her service as it’s been a pleasure the whole way through and a very reasonable fee to boot. I would definitely use Velvet Shaw Design again in the future as the added value by depressing my property has reflected in more offers and at higher values than expected. Emma really is the nicest person you could wish for and takes the hard work out of selling your property by her creative dressing and design. A must if want a quicker sale and more money! Thanks very much Velvet Shaw your the best !”
