Downsizing Professionals in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire

“I had an amazing experience with Pomander interiors. Professional & bespoke advice to really help me achieve the elegance I wanted in my home.”

“Teresa did a very thorough job when helping me to set the style of my newly refurbished penthouse apartment in Barcelona. She prepared a complete questionnaire to hep identify what I wanted, inspired me with some examples, and then sent me mood boards and recommendations on where to buy the different pieces of furniture / decoration. On top of that, she's a very nice and fun person to hang out with, which made me enjoy the whole process very much. I would wholeheartedly recommend her. Maria”

“I worked with Aly on an interior project for my new (Grade 2* listed) home. She really helped support bringing my vision to life and making suggestions on what would and would not necessarily work in the space. Aly was able to tailor the project based on my needs and budget, which I appreciated as it felt more customized. This included digital design layouts of the space, sourcing materials, and consistent check-ins weekly to ensure we were on the right track. There were a few stress points where I changed direction due to outside circumstances and Aly was able to pivot and help provide options for me to move in a new direction with ease. I am so pleased with the outcome of project, and the beauty of my new home!”

“I had moved into my new home, and the interior decor was neutral - but bland. I was, frankly, at a loss as to how to begin to make it work for me. Kay visited, listened to how I need my home to function, talked me through the possibilities and created several mood boards to enable me to visualise how it could look. She even sent me links to the products I needed, taking the angst out of shopping for the right items. My lovely new home now feels like my space - thanks so much, Kay, for working your magic and taking the fear out of introducing pattern, colour and texture.”

“Elisa is a resourceful and creative person, she loves to listen, will present a vision but is never imposing. She works with you to be able to understand you and your desires. She knows how to create a climate of trust, takes your personal ideas into account and helps you put them into perspective so that you can see all the other possibilities open to you. She knows how to enhance a place by harmonising colours, appropriate styles and optimising spaces.”

“I approached Gemma for help designing my sitting room. I already had some ideas of what I wanted which Gemma really helped me develop. She gave me the confidence to take things further with colour and styles. She understood what I needed and I’m delighted with the outcome. I later went back to Gemma for further help with my hallway - she had some really creative and practical ideas as to how to transform a relatively dark space into a welcoming entrance for my home. Would definitely recommend!”

“Hannah has helped me to decorate 2 rooms in my new house. She has coped with my indecisiveness and lack of ideas and come up with 2 rooms that are just gorgeous. They are beautiful, fit for purpose and homely. Thanks Hannah”

“I cannot rave enough about Sean Symington Design, his passion shines through his creative ability and professionalism. Sean was a delight to work with from the moment I contacted him, he is very hands from the initial concept all the way through to installing the last coffee table book. Sean takes the time to source one-of-a-kind aspects, such as lighting, décor and fabrics for each room. His talent to mix old century pieces with modern elements, transformed my home into a colorful, eccentric representation of my life. I highly recommend hiring Sean Symington to redesign your home, office, or restaurant as he will bring it to life in a very personable way.”

“Sam provided a high quality design service for the renovation of our Grade II listed, 1st floor apartment. Sam initially met with us in our home and took into account all of our furnishings and tastes. She then made recommendations of which furnishings we could continue to use and came up with lots of suggestions on how to best marry our style with that of our period home. Consideration was given to the purpose and use of each room. Sam produced designs for each room, giving us a few different designs for each. Sam was a great help during the process of applying for listed building consent with the Council. She produced the heritage statement along with all the detailed drawings that were required. We could not have got through this process with the Council's Conservation team without Sam's professional and knowledgeable input. Sam's attention to detail and her knowledge of interiors and quality suppliers is endless. We would certainly use Sam's services again when we do our next renovation.”

“I wanted to convert a very dull and crowded spare room/playroom into a relaxing 'sanctuary' for myself and guests; Mandy immediately saw where I was coming from and was in on the project from the start. With an eye for details and a real feel for the person, she carefully put together two different scenarios of environments where I've felt most relaxed - a beach theme and a mountain theme. The mood boards she created were beautiful and I found it difficult to choose between the two themes, though the mountain room she envisaged gave me the restfulness coupled with the cosiness that I wanted. Mandy then measured up and carefully observed how the natural light fell, as well as coming up with clever suggestions on how to deal with elements of the room that couldn't be changed - e.g. the dormer window and the sloping ceilings. From here she worked up a floor plan with soft shapes and functional, but relaxing furnishing ideas. Never forcing her thoughts on me, I had plenty of free range to add my own touches and she showed me how to use colours and the way they can work together. I was much more adventurous than I have been before! It felt like we really worked together as a team to achieve the finished results. So, my 'sanctuary' includes a bed (so we can still welcome guests), a seating/TV/gaming area (where the big kids can still relax, but their paraphernalia is low key/hidden), a reading area with a comfortable chair and footstool, and coffee table (reclaimed and painted). There's a variety of textures and soft colours using mainly greys and dusky pinks and other natural colours. My favourite part is the main wall featuring a mural of a mountain range in silhouette in soft dawn tones. I absolutely love it - as do my guests and kids! I highly recommend Mandy and her work. Her designs are beautiful, thoughtful and functional; whilst she provides plenty of her own ideas she is keen to incorporate your own too. I'll definitely be using Mandy again.”
