Arcadia Interiors

We are delighted with the transformation of our sitting room. Catherine kindly, calmly and promptly changed our slightly outdated and mismatched room into a cohesive and modern yet comfortable and sympathetic space. I was at a loss with what to do with the bay window and the curtains and the TV corner. Catherine produced a mood board with a number of options for fabrics, lighting, rugs and furniture, she gave me enough choice without overwhelming me, we retained the ‘best bits’ of the existing and she made sure I was happy at every stage. The feel of the end result is classic and quite neutral but with splashes of more vibrant, adventurous design – the round Tom Faulkner table in the bay window, the two armchairs in a burnt orange and some snazzy cushions. Catherine was great at delivering when she said she would and turning up on time, she sourced everything for me which made the whole process a pleasure. I organised my own electrician and a decorator to touch up paintwork. Thanks Catherine you were great!

Catherine was an amazing help with our home upgrade. She was always one step ahead in providing great advice and managing all the various suppliers and contractors. She understood, probably more than I did initially, what we wanted, what would be appropriate to the existing layout and what would work well. Catherine always listened and said what she thought while at the same time respecting my thoughts and ideas. Can't recommend Catherine highly enough- it was a great journey, great fun and we are delighted with the end result!

Working with Catherine to decorate my hall was a pleasure from start to finish. Catherine embraced the space, used her vivid imagination and creative flair to give me a hall I love. She was always receptive to any of my inputs and was willing to accept any parameters of judgement or cost. I look forward to working with her again.

Catherine has been brilliant at guiding me through a year long project and I am thrilled with the results. From choice of paint colour, to carpets, curtains and soft furnishings her advice has been invaluable. It has been wonderful dealing with Catherine. She has gently and efficiently steered the project and kept it moving forward. Most importantly she has been endlessly patient with my dithering and has a good sense of humour! Catherine has a great eye for colour and the palette of soft natural hues has been very successful in creating the calm interior we set out to achieve. I would thoroughly recommend Catherine of Arcadia Interiors to anyone wanting help with an interior design project.

Catherine provides a wonderful interior design service to many clients, some of whom I have been lucky enough to collaborate with her on. She has a wonderful sense of style which comes through in her fabric, design and furniture choices. I would not hesitate to recommend Arcadia Interiors.

Catherine advised on paint colours and supplied soft furnishing fabrics for a 4900 sq ft barn conversion situated on the coast of East Lothian. Having viewed the project in its ruin state initially offering excellent practical design advice. Then using her experienced vision well before completion; paint colours and fabrics were selected from her beautiful collection of samples for the whole project so easily due to Catherine's unique talent for grasping the clients taste and the projects requirements. We are so delighted with Catherine' input and couldn't have managed without her.
