Seasonal Decorating Service Professionals in Alfriston, East Sussex

“Lois Skelding at Design & Lo was fantastic and we would highly recommend their interior design services. They also helped with a new plan layout for our ground floor to make our existing kitchen much larger and make the rooms open plan. Initially we were unsure about hiring a designer for our project as we thought we could do this ourselves but as we begun the initial planning stages of the project we found it overwhelming and didn't really know where to start. We found Lois based in Brighton & Hove but were so glad when we found she covered London also (as we are based in East London). Lois listened to exactly what we wanted for our new space. She recommended many design ideas and space planning suggestions that we wouldn't have even thought about ourselves as we were keen to maximise the storage and light in the home. We had seen the design she had done for an extension project in Balham and we really wanted steel windows also with open plan living and dining room. She included this in the design for us which looked incredible. However due to COVID our plans were slightly delayed and it meant we had to re-design certain areas because some materials had increased in price, Lois was on hand to suggest new materials and alternatives which help keep our project in budget! Another area where I was scared to be bold was the paint colours and then choosing a kitchen together with flooring and lighting, I found that there were too many options to choose from...Design & Lo definitely helped us decide on a final design and be confident with our final choices. I thought mine and my husbands styles were too different but Lois managed to pull a design together that pleased both of us which was fantastic!”

“Anna provided a professional and friendly service. She is very experienced and her advice was invaluable. All deadlines were met, costs were as agreed at the beginning of the project and I am delighted with the results.”

“Working with Siouxsie was seamless and easy. Professional and accommodating, creative beyond belief, she is reliable, fair and, in short, a joy to deal with.”

“Liz was an enormous help to me in my recent bedroom/dressingroom renovation. As well as having lots of her own lovely ideas, she was happy to spend time listening to my ideas, talking through the pros and cons to ensure I was delighted with the end results. Unlike other services I have used, I did not feel rushed or pushed at any stage. She was great at liaising with suppliers used on the job.”

“Kirsty is a very talented designer who inspired, supported and helped me create the most wonderful family kitchen for my house in Hove. Nothing was too much bother and she delivered the job on time and within my budget. I loved her taste and she came up and sourced some wonderful tiles that became the centrepiece of the design. I couldn't recommend her and the Cocoon team more highly.”

“I consulted Ohana because the arrangement of the living space in my house wasn’t working for our family of 5. Ohana had a wonderful way of helping me to clarify what I wanted from my living space, she really listened to what I was trying to achieve and thoughtfully questioned me about how I was going to use my house. As a result I made some changes that hadn’t occurred to me and did not do other alterations that originally I thought I definitely wanted! Thanks to her suggestions we saved a significant amount of money and have a beautiful genuinely multi purpose family friendly living space. I am delighted with the results and would throughly recommend consulting her before under taking any project. Hannah, Lewes”

“In the midst of a building project when I couldn't see the wood for the trees, Jeanette was extremely helpful in planning how to make the most of our space. Her creative flair and original ideas combined with a calming and sensible approach were exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend her.”

“Holly took on board and understood the brief she was given to bring up to date a whole historic house and managed to transform it. Light was introduced, along with the required storage facilities and the occasional quirky touch. She was able to source the ideal fittings, and suggested colour schemes which suited perfectly and enhanced the whole property. The only drawback now is deciding which room is the favourite: invariably it has to be whichever room you are in.”

“A few years ago, I moved from a Victorian home in the country to a smaller modern house in London. Although I have never been short of my own tastes and ideas, the contrast between the two styles of house really left my mind blank and my imagination failed me completely. I was recommended Katherine Richards' company of Interior designers and with some trepidation, I called Katherine herself to visit me. I think I had a preconceived idea of how interior designers work, but what a wonderful relief to sit down over coffee and be asked about my previous home, my work, my family, my interests and friends. I could see, as we talked, that she was listening and building up a picture of the sort of person I am. So when we eventually walked round the house and she made various suggestions, I could see how my new and unfamiliar home could look. Now, when my friends come to visit, they have all remarked on how comfortable and warm my living rooms are and how there is still a hint of the style they remembered from my much older and larger home. I would recommend anyone wanting advice, rather than needing to be told, to call in KRD. Katherine has a keen sense of understanding of her client which, allied to her highly imaginative use of colour and design, cannot fail to result in a happy and satisfied customer! Hilary Roberts”

“Sarah did an amazing job of redesigning our back garden. She listened to our loose brief and took on board the elements that we wanted to retain and bring in, but then took these starting points to a whole new level with her creative vision on shape, space, materials, lighting and of course planting. We now have a garden which contains beautiful contrasts, its layout has a natural flow and there are elements of interest all around, on top of which it works brilliantly for us, our growing boys, and is perfect for entertaining. Sarah was a joy to deal with, easy to talk to, full of creative ideas and all backed up with sound knowledge and experience and she knows how to get the job done! We highly recommend her.”
