Anna Rickard Interiors

Anna provided us with some great ideas for our livingroom, ideas we would of never thought of. She has great attention to detail and and is incredibly professional. We were delighted with the final result. Anna is a warm and friendly person and a delight to deal with, would highly recommend.

Anna helped us redesign our downstairs layout. Her advice was very helpful and she had great ideas and it was really useful to be able to see the design in 3D. Anna is very friendly and approachable and really listens to what you want We would recommend using Anna if you want help with extensions or changes to your internal layout

We were really happy with Anna’s work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She was very friendly and professional and exceeded our expectations. We were struggling with the layout of our fairly compact kitchen and couldn’t find a design we were happy with despite having various designs from different kitchen companies. Anna’s design was brilliant and she found a way to accommodate all of our requests whilst still creating a functional and attractive kitchen. We’re looking forward to working with Anna in the near future on other projects.

I am delighted with the work that Anna has done on my house. She has re-designed the entire house from top to bottom and it has been an amazing transformation. The previous décor was very outdated and the bathrooms needed completely refurbishing so Anna brought in a team of skilled contractors and project managed all the works, as well as buying all the new furniture and furnishings. I wanted the house to feel light, comfortable and modern and her designs were spot on. Anna also encouraged me to go for bolder design choices than I would normally do, and also to introduce design flourishes in certain rooms to achieve the ‘wow’ factor. Anna was very friendly and approachable and kept me up to date regularly on developments and budgets which I appreciated. The trades people were very polite, tidy and conscientious and the work was carried out to an excellent standard. Overall I am very happy with the finished project and I have no hesitation in recommending Anna.

We have worked with Anna before on other projects, so we didn’t hesitate to ask her again to design the bathroom in a new flat we had bought in London, which needed completely updating. I wanted something bold and eclectic, so Anna produced the most stunning design using Verdigris wall tiles, brass taps and shower, combined with this fantastic floral statement wallpaper which totally hit the brief. Anna always goes the extra mile to find items which are a little bit special – things that you wouldn’t easily be able to find yourself – like the Verdigris copper basin which is beautiful and totally unique. Not only is Anna a very thorough, meticulous and creative interior designer but she is also just amazing at research and uncovering interesting suppliers and items. I can wholeheartedly recommend her.

We employed Anna to help remodel two bathrooms in our house, an en-suite and adjoining family bathroom. We weren’t that confident at making decisions by ourselves, but it felt like we were in a safe pair of hands with Anna as she guided us through the process and talked through all the choices. We wanted the en-suite to be bold and contemporary, so Anna encouraged us to choose black fittings and to use hexagonal tiles in an ombre pattern which we loved! As we were reducing the size of the en-suite to make more room in the family bathroom, Anna cleverly sourced slimline furniture to make the best use of the space. The family bathroom was small, so Anna had recommended moving the dividing wall, which was a great decision as we suddenly had 30% more floorspace. The layout and the fittings were all chosen with the family in mind, which we really appreciated. The space works so much better than before and we’re really pleased with how it turned out. We would happily recommend Anna.

A friend recommended Anna as we had been struggling to redesign our bathroom and kitchen diner. There were lots of changes we wanted to make but just didn’t really know where to start. Anna helped us look at the bigger picture and how to make the best use of the space. Anna provided lots of different options for us to consider which we then narrowed down to our final selection. She also guided us through the building control application process, managed the trades and project managed the installation. There were so many elements to consider but having Anna on board made it much easier. Anna worked hard to ensure all our ‘must haves’ were incorporated into the design but she also thought about how to maximise the enjoyment of the space, such as building in banquette seating so we could enjoy a coffee looking out at the garden. The first thing everyone says when they walk through the door is ‘wow’. It is such a transformation. We are so pleased with what we have, its amazing!

Anna is an incredibly gifted, innovative and patient interior designer. We had already worked with Anna on two of our previous homes and we asked her to help us with a much larger project - an old school house in Oxford that needed some serious renovation. Anna designed the kitchen, our daughter’s bedroom, an en-suite and the family bathroom. She did an incredible job given the awkward layouts, sloping ceilings and non-stop tradespeople. She helped us create clever, thoughtful and absolutely bespoke designs. Anna encourages us to step outside our comfort zone through the use of innovative products and materials that elevate the design to the next level. She has impeccable technical knowledge as well as a flair for choosing fixtures and fittings that look amazing and fit together perfectly. Everything is discussed and thought about meticulously. Anna is very friendly and approachable, passionate about her work and is completely focussed on delivering the perfect result.

Anna helped me furnish and decorate a two-bed town house which I bought to turn into an Airbnb business. Anna quickly put together some great designs for each room and spent time with me suggesting suitable furniture and furnishings. She not only arranged the purchase and delivery of all the items, but she also managed the trades required to complete the work. I have little spare time so knowing that I could rely on Anna to manage all the arrangements was an absolute godsend. Anna encouraged me to push the boundaries in terms of colour and design to ensure the property stood out against the other Airbnb listings. The end result is amazing and each room has its own unique design which gives it that little bit of wow factor. When the property was listed on Airbnb the response exceeded my expectations with a large number of bookings taken within the first week and a constant flow of inquiries since then. All in all working with Anna was a great experience and a brilliant end result.

We’d been planning on changing our bathroom for some time but the bathroom companies we’d approached hadn’t been able to produce a design we liked. The space had to be totally redesigned, to enable us to have a large shower, plenty of storage and a clean, modern look. Anna worked really well with us, and quickly came up with a proposal which met our requirements and made much better use of the space, despite various challenges. She had lots of good ideas and suggested a wide range of fixtures and fittings. Anna provided us different budget options, giving us good flexibility on how much we wanted to spend. We particularly liked the fact that she obtained quotes from three different contractors and project managed the works from start to finish. We never thought we could afford an interior designer, but because Anna bought everything at discounted prices this covered most of her fees. We are extremely happy with the service Anna provided as she interpreted our brief brilliantly.
