Ali Hearn Interiors

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!

Ali listened to my brief & it took off from there. I now have the perfect sitting room & conservatory & receiving so many compliments. Ali is passionate about her work, enthusiast, conscientious, fun, & will go to great lengths sourcing to get the right look. I would definitely recommend her. I started off just wanting the sitting room done but then the conservatory looked sad so.....Ali to the rescue We liaised on almost everything- great communicator.

We bought our house 2 years ago and the previous owners had fully renovated the house. After living in the space for 2 years we just realised that the kitchen layout wasn't working for us and we also had a formal dining room which would be used about once a year. The kitchen was 'fine' but definitely not what we would have chosen. After a lot of debate we decided we wanted to reconfigure the kitchen/dining space and also the outdoor space (which had very old decking). The decision to get Ali to help us was an easy one. If we were spending all this money on building work, we really wanted the space to feel special. Whilst we know what we like, in practice I have discovered how hard it is to make big decisions on furniture and accessories to actually create the look we were are after. Having Ali create moodboards for us meant we had a real vision of what the space could be, by testing pieces of furniture against the mood board you can immediately see what works and doesn't work. For once I felt confident placing orders, because I felt like we already knew what the end result was going to be. I have to say I was totally blown away by literally seeing this vision come to life in our own house! Ali also added some ideas to our building work that we would never have thought of in a million years, which has completely changed the space. Ali understands the practicality of daily family life and making a space that works on every level as well as being stunning. I am still pinching myself when I sit in the kitchen, that it is actually ours because it's so beautiful! She has a brilliant network of trades and suppliers at her fingertips, and anything is possible! I honestly can't recommend her enough!
