We were absolutely thrilled with our 2 hour consultation in our home with Lisa. We'd been procrastinating about how to redecorate a couple of rooms for about 10 years and Lisa listened to what we needed and helped us come up with a proper plan. She seamlessly switched between talking about things like layout changes, paint colours, lighting, fabric choices and covered a huge amount in the time. She was really prepared for the session and had brought north-facing swatches as we'd mentioned that when we booked. Her ideas were really creative but also very practical. We feel really excited about our decorating projects now and wish we'd talked to Lisa years ago! Couldn't recommend more highly!

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It was a real pleasure to meet you both and help bring some clarity and momentum to rooms that had been on your minds for such a long time. I’m so pleased you came away with a proper plan and, most importantly, feeling excited to get started. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together!

We couldn’t have made a better choice having a zoom with Lisa. She’s a very talented and thoughtful interior designer. Lisa took the time to listen to our preferences and interpreted our very vague vision. The colour, textures, lighting and furniture ideas have been spot-on. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa and would definitely contact her again with our next project.

We used Lisa for the 2 hour consultation and it was absolutely invaluable! She is super knowledgeable and it was the perfect way to kick off our renovation process as she was able to provide us with amazing advice and guidance that we otherwise would never have known. I would definitely recommend her to others!

I recently had a two-hour consultation with Lisa and I could not be happier with the experience with a design project, where Lisa’s expertise and approach immediately put me at ease. The consultation was really good value. In just two hours, we covered more ground than I had expected and I felt reassured and confident about the direction we're heading in. Lisa has genuinely great taste and can also articulate it and I highly recommend booking a consultation with Lisa.

Comment from Born & Bred Studio:
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, it genuinely means a lot. I’m really glad the consultation brought some clarity and confidence at what is always a peak decision-overwhelm stage. Sometimes a focused couple of hours is all you need to feel back in control of the bigger picture and actually start getting excited about it again.
You’ve got a lovely project on your hands, and you’re clearly in excellent architectural hands too. I’m looking forward to hearing how the extension progresses, it’s going to be fantastic.

I had a two-hour consultation with Lisa during which she gave me clear direction, practical advice and inspired ideas that have reshaped how I’m approaching and planning my first renovation. Her structured way of tackling decisions has made everything feel far more manageable. I hope to book another session later in the project to discuss more of the fun stuff once the nitty gritty is out of the way. Highly recommend if you want expert, actionable guidance for optimising your reno or generally elevating your home. Thanks Lisa x

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. I’m really pleased the session helped you find some direction and confidence with the renovation, it can feel like a mountain at the start, but once the big decisions are in place it all starts to flow. I’d love to catch up later down the line when it’s time for the fun stuff! Reach out when the time is right!

This was the third time we have had Lisa back for her amazing design service in our house! As always we are so pleased with the end result of our 4 bedrooms, which completely surpassed all expectations! We totally trust Lisa with the design process and she is always spot on with suggestions to suit our taste, preferences and practical needs as a family. She was great with our children and created amazing spaces tailored perfectly to their little personalities and needs now and in to the future. Our bedroom is also the perfect sanctuary for switching off and much needed rest! Lisa really created the wow factor for us, perfectly in line with our brief! Lisa also has invaluable contacts for trades who are great and really reliable. Her designs flow so well throughout our house, thanks so much again Lisa!

Such a great service! A two hour virtual call with Lisa really did tackle all of my interior questions - from specific paint colours, to where to buy lampshades, rugs and other items. I was armed with my pinterest pics, and left feeling far more confident and with some great news ideas.

Lisa visited our home for the 2 hour consultation. We are at the early stage of our planning, but wanted Lisa's help before we embarked on anything substantial (and to avoid post paintwork regret!). Lisa listened to our thoughts and gave helpful suggestions, as well as giving us tips about things that had not occurred to us. We felt we gained a lot from the 2 hours and Lisa kindly responded to our additional queries by email. We now feel empowered to start the process as we have a general plan for the house.

Hi Fiona, What a lovely surprise. The new colours must be on the walls now! I'm sure its made a huge difference and feels more like 'you'. Thanks for taking time to leave a review. Such a lovely surprise. Wishing you the best of luck with phase two.

Lisa was incredibly helpful throughout the design process when we were renovating our Edwardian terrace. She advised on layout, paint colours, tiles and furnishings, and presented options which look fantastic. Her eye for colour is spot on. She listened to my husband and my likes and design preferences, and was able to make suggestions that we both loved. She was brilliant with our 2 daughters and really understood their personalities and what they wanted for their bedrooms - so much so that she’s inspired one of them to be an interior designer when she grows up! I would 100% recommend Lisa and Born and Bred Studio.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It was an absolute joy working with you. I’m especially touched to hear that your daughter has been inspired to consider interior design, that really does mean a lot (super cute!). I’m so pleased the house feels like home for everyone, and I truly appreciate your recommendation.

Lisa came to my home this week for a design consultation before I start an interior renovation. Lisa worked with me to refine every detail of my plans - from paint colours to carpet, lighting, tiles, period features, radiators, and layout. Her suggestions have definitely elevated the vision, and I can safely say she's helped to avoid an expensive mistake or two! I found Lisa to be professional throughout, and her experience and knowledge was clear. By the time Lisa left, I felt much clearer about my plans for the space, and in the midst of what can be a stressful experience, genuinely excited for what's to come. This has been the best money spent in the process so far. Thank you Lisa, can't wait to see it come to life!

Me and my partner recently bought a listed Georgian house that is in desperate need of restoring. We were feeling a little overwhelmed as there is so much to do and we didn't know where to start. Lisa visited the property and instantly reassured us. She gave us an order of works list and a fresh perspective on our kitchen and downstairs WC plans, she gave us ideas that we hadn't even considered. We would highly recommend Lisa, I think she is an asset to any project.

I completely understand how overwhelming such a big project can feel, so I’m thrilled to hear that my advice gave you some clarity and fresh ideas. Wishing you both all the best as you move forward with your plans!
