Home Stagers in Risca, Caerphilly

“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.”

“Anna Home Styling We engaged Anna Home styling to stage our 1930’s semi. We had lived in the house for 20 years and had become so familiar with the appearance of the interior, that it was difficult to see where improvements could be made. We needed a fresh eye to advise us on and setting our rooms out to best effect. We didn’t particularly want to replace large items of furniture but were happy for furniture and decorative items to be moved around and re-deployed and we recognised that fairly major de-cluttering would be beneficial. Anna’s team only had one stipulation and that was that we leave them to work on each room until we were invited in to see the finished effect. We agreed. Anna spent time speaking with us about our expectations were and what we wanted to achieve, they then got down to work. It’s quite unnerving having other people re-arranging your house, particularly when you can’t see what they are doing, but we needn’t have worried. As we were invited in to see the results of their hard work, we were amazed at what they had achieved. Each room looked more spacious, more elegant and more inviting, whilst retaining the feel of our home. Furniture that had been moved or augmented with a throw or cushion looked fresh and new and decorative items which had been deployed more sparsely had far greater impact. We were very pleased with the outcome and would recommend Anna’s Home styling whole heartedly.”

“I am delighted to have the opportunity to provide a testimonial for Esther Milardi of DiOro Interiors, Cardiff. She was recommended to me by a close friend who had employed her for the refurbishment of their bathroom. In April this year, Esther undertook the complete transformation of my guest room and some necessary work in my study area and the master bedroom. Esther is the fifth interior designer with whom I have worked and, in my experience, provides a uniquely professional service. She has a great sense of style and coordination. Not only does she design the project, after full consultation with her client about preferences and budget, and source and supply the components of the scheme, but manages the work throughout. She schedules and co-ordinates the team of excellent tradesmen who regularly work with her. She is on-site every day that work is taking place, on hand to deal with any unforeseen issues. Undertaking home improvements can be a stressful time for householders: when people are working in your home it can be disruptive and inconvenient and things do not always go to plan. Esther’s hands-on approach throughout the work removes that source of stress. She is completely in command of the project. I had every confidence that she would find solutions to any problems that arose during the refurbishment and had total peace of mind. The results of her design have been much admired by friends and family and I thoroughly recommend her both as a designer and as a project manager. Indeed, I recommended Esther to one of my neighbours who has been similarly impressed with her work.”
