“Catriona helped us refurbish all of our (3) bathrooms and put in a downstairs utility room plus updating a downstairs loo. This was a 3 month+ project and she helped us with the design aspects and project managed the whole process for us. She took our (in some cases a bit vague) brief and ideas and came up with some great designs for each of the bathrooms. In the case of our Master en-suite she made the most of a bit of a tight space that has transformed it into a room that feels much bigger and has one of my favourite features of the project - a full length shower tray - something we would never have thought of. She made some great suggestions for the colour schemes and found us some wood effect tiles that we absolutely love. My husband is over the moon that he now has an ultra high shower head he can properly stand under which was a request for the design but one we weren't sure was feasible - Catriona's design work made it so! The biggest challenge from a design and layout perspective was our downstairs utility area and loo - this had been something of a dumping ground by the back door plus a very tired downstairs loo - and is an extremely awkward shape, no right angles or straight walls here. Catriona came up with a great design that has left us with a laundry area with lots of shelving for storage plus a perfectly formed downstairs loo incorporating a utility sink and more storage all in a lovely colour - I almost enjoy doing the washing now! Catriona's project management was key to limiting the impact of the inevitable disruption on us. Following agreeing the design she drew up detailed project plans and works lists before arranging for 3 contractors to quote. This made the whole process of finding a contractor and getting going very easy for us. Her project planning was excellent getting the contractors to move from room to room in an agreed sequence. She also carefully managed the delivery of fittings and materials to our house making sure everything was available when needed by the contractors but ensuring we didn't feel like we lived in a builders merchants. She was regularly on site to manage the process and deal with contractor queries or design issues and kept us up to date with progress and giving us notice when decisions needed to be made. We were able to escape for a week's holiday and a few weekends away and were very happy leaving Catriona managing progress and the on site work. Towards the end of the project, the main contractor became a little uncommunicative and perhaps had his mind on the next job but Catriona was on top of it all, chasing and making sure we got over the line which which was much appreciated! The project management aspect was key for us as due to a small child and work commitments we would never have managed to get started with the project let alone managed and completed it without Catriona's help. We love our new bathrooms and utility area and would highly recommend Catriona!”

“I found Tracey from three nine designs very professional but approachable and friendly whilst she refurbished my flat earlier this year. The actual design was exactly what I wanted and she came up with some great ideas that I hadn't thought of. I would definitely recommend her company to anybody thinking of refurbishing or planning a new build.”

“Feeling deflated at my inability to make a decision on anything related to interiors, I was so glad I called Ali! Firstly to tweak my kitchen, which was looking dated and tired, she replaced kitchen chairs, sourced a gorgeous chandelier, along with numerous accessories (candles, lamps, flowers etc) that I would never have chosen. She then moved onto transform a landing space, advising on painting an old piece of furniture (it doesn’t always involve buying something new!) and putting beautiful lamps and mirrors onto it to give a dead space real impact that everyone now admires. The next project involved creating a more grown up space for my fourteen year old daughter. We chose a beautiful upholstered bed with bedside tables and a dressing table. Funky cowhide lamps and fur added to the theme. The great thing is that (especially in the case of a child’s bedroom), there is no pressure to buy the most expensive pieces and Ali understands that there needs to be some value for money in the equation. We moved onto my bedroom and took it from an old fashioned room to a decadent retreat. I chose the first fabric she showed me and am just so delighted I have been moved on from my redecorating inertia. Ali has pulled it all together for me, creating a look that I love, bringing the colours, fabrics, lighting and soft furnishings into a coherent palate. Finally I gathered my courage (and convinced my husband) and went for the overhaul the kitchen really needed. New curtains and blinds, sofas and chairs recovered, new lighting, kitchen surfaces stripped back to bare oak and a kitchen table stripped back and brilliantly given a new limed oak finish. But most stunningly, along with all the kitchen units repainted and given new knobs and handles, we replaced a hundred year old orange oak floor with a lighter, beautiful herringbone grey hued oak floor. Ali has dragged the house out of the doldrums and given it a much fresher, cleaner feel. Couldn’t do it without her! I barely question what she suggests, as I know she can see it in her head and she's not been wrong yet!”
