Amy Shirlaw Interiors

I have never worked with an interior designer before. Luckily a friend referred me to Amy. She saw exciting, creative possibilities for a space that I saw as a dark, gloomy, boring space. She worked closely with me to find out how I hoped to use the space and suggested other uses. She generated options and I felt like I was getting a selection of real choices not a pre-packaged selection. We worked together to test and agree what would work for me and the space and she then put together sourcing options with back-ups if needed. The dark corner with little natural light has become a gorgeous snug space for cosy, wind-down evenings. Amy is a lovely person and a super professional.

We already had some ideas of what we wanted to do and Amy gave us the confidence to move forward and commit to a bold design. She brought fresh ideas to enhance it and markers of things to avoid to make sure it will work in harmony. She took special care to listen to the divergent opinions of my husband and I, bringing our viewpoints together in harmonious agreement. I find it hard to visualise things, so found it extremely helpful that she made a "scrapbook" of pictures and a draft sketch to show how the colours and materials will look together. She's a down to earth, practical person with advice for any budget.

I couldn’t recommend Amy and her services highly enough. As someone who finds interior design and the range of options completely overwhelming, Amy helped me enormously with pulling together ideas and visions for our rooms. She very quickly got to know us and our preferred styles and came up with design ideas and suggestions which made the whole process of bringing a room to life feel easy. We were so pleased with the results and will definitely be using Amy’s services again.

Amy is great. She listened closely to what I wanted and came up with beautiful designs, helping us to source the items. She was aware of our budget and stayed within that too. I’m delighted with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
