Decluttering Professionals

“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!”

“We have now engaged with Sai Interiors on a number of projects; each project costing in the range of £8-15k and both internal and external to our house. On each occasion, Sai Interiors proved themselves to be very knowledgable as regards options, trends, suitability and were very creative. They worked with us and kept us informed on every step of the project, managed the work with complete transparency and above all, completed the projects to schedule, with minimum disruption, within budget and to our total satisfaction. Complete professionals and took all the burden of stress off us. We will repeat the experience!”

“There is so much to commend Born and Bred Studio that it’s difficult to know where to start. Lisa lives and breathes design, it’s not so much a passion or an expertise but a true vocation. For novices like myself, she manages to make interior design accessible, affordable and user friendly. She listened intently and worked hard to understand the practical needs of our house and also our aspirations for the space which was nothing more than shell, practically untouched for 60 years. She took on board our ideas, improved them - often suggesting something different that we would never have originally considered - and delivered plans that have far surpassed our expectations. Crucially, Lisa isn’t just an ideas person. She has many practical skills from upholstery and curtain making to screen printing which she put to good use in the house. She is also an absolute magpie and never failed to amaze us the her ebay, gumtree and car boot sale finds. This was not only gentle on our budget but has resulted in a house that’s not ubiquitous and that is now really starting to feel like home. Completely, 100% 5 stars *****”
