Accessible Design Professionals

“I utilised Caroline’s two hour consultation service (£95) as I desperately needed some advice and ideas for my neglected 1930s hallway. As I don’t live locally, I gave Caroline some ideas and photos via text message about what I liked and didn’t like, my preferred colour palate, and what my priorities were. After some questions from Caroline and some very useful exercises looking at existing spaces and colours, and how we used the hall, she offered some simple solutions which were easily implemented. Simple things like changing the positioning of the existing lighting made a dramatic difference. Caroline then compiled a mood board for me on Pinterest with ideas for paint colours, storage solutions and suggestions for light fittings. She also made recommendations on how I could achieve a modern and coordinated hall that tied in with the existing 1930s features, yet wasn’t overly ‘matchy’. This was complemented with detailed information about sourcing items and recommending paint finishes. Caroline very cleverly sketched her ideas onto my original photo to give me an idea of what my hall could look like. This was really invaluable in helping me ‘see’ my new hall before I started work. I felt that Caroline very quickly ‘got’ what I was after. She was really friendly & approachable, responsive and offered really helpful, practical and straightforward suggestions. She didn’t impose her own tastes and encouraged me to develop my own. Initially I felt that I didn’t really know what I wanted but after conversations with Caroline, I began to gain confidence. I cannot recommend Caroline’s service highly enough. She was great fun to work with and the entire process was really enjoyable.”

“I was lucky enough to discover Alison through instagram and am very pleased to have opted for her 'Helping Hand' design package. We have various storage conundrums and with seemingly infinite ways of solving them (none of which seemed quite ideal) it was incredibly useful to have Alison's experienced, practical and creative ideas to narrow things down. I now feel much braver and look forward to taking the plunge!”

“I can't thank Debbie enough for her services regarding my interiors project. She isextremetly knowledgeable and gave me helpful recommendations. She was prompt in her dealings with me and provided excellent advice and support.”

“Emilie was brilliant. She did a complete renovation of my Victorian terrace, upstairs and down, including kitchen extension and reviving some original features that had been stripped away. She took my (attempts at explaining) my style and turned it into an actual vision. She gave me solutions to using the space which I had been defeated by and saved me a lot of money on bad furniture decisions. The contractors Emilie brought in were great too. A friendly, hard working team I came to know and like well. Before she got to work, I basically regretted buying my house. The house had so many issues and we didn't have a lot of room in the budget, but she delivered a home I never want to leave. She is very friendly and professional, never lets you feel like you're alone. Highly recommend.”

“Haysey design is a very approachable business who always listens to their clients and accommodates their wants and needs whilst also picking up on subtle details about you as an individual to include in the final design so it really is what you want it to be. It has been a very fluid process where ideas have been banded around and the design has changed as we have moved forward so it will be a space entailing all our brief plus much more. Nic has a great skill base for design, instills confidence in you about your ideas, a fantastic eye for detail plus a very truthful manner so it is exactly what you desire.”

“Gemma did an absolutely incredible job with our kitchen. She took such time and care to understand exactly what we were looking for as an end result. We had no previous experience of house renovations and she was wonderful at advising on both overall concepts / ideas, as well as the finer layout and design detail. Couldn't have done it without her. Not only that, but she was lovely to work with.”

“Sacha helped us with a big design/renovation project this year, when we extended our house. We met her when we bought a lovely Stag chandelier, and she then helped us on a bigger design project. She worked closely with us to come up with brilliant ideas that took the sort of things we liked and translated them into a unique design that was just to our taste - but we could never have actually made happen ourselves! She also took the stress out of what should have been a nightmare project, as my husband and I both work and we have small children. Would recommend highly for Interior projects, or Chandeliers.”

“Over lockdown I found myself growing very tired of the decor and furniture in my lounge. Myself and my three girls spend a lot of time in there particularly on an evening. With it being a Victorian terrace it already had beautiful original features in there but was looking very tired and lifeless. I decided to get in touch with Clare fir some inspiration and after our consultation felt very excited and inspired. She made me realise I didn’t need a huge amount to completely transform the space into the cosy room I longed for. I knew I wanted to go for dark walls but had no idea how to then furnish and accessorise. Clare did a full room design, helped and advised me with all of that and WOW the result is amazing, I absolutely love it. It’s made such a difference to my home. So much so I decided to invite Clare back to advise me on my bedroom. I had already painted the walls and bought a rug but needed help with styling. Clare sent me a shopping list of furniture and accessories to help. Again, she completely transformed the feel of the room, bringing it all together. I would highly recommend Clare for any interior advise.”

“Jane is a designer who really knows how to listen to what their customer wants or likes and then work with that, but also introduce new ideas, to create a finished design that looks great. She introduced some modern and sophisticated colours and features that I might not have had the confidence to try myself, but knowing she had a plan to tie everything together made it possible.”

“Anna Burles approached me in 2013 for some help with one of her projects for a flagship coffee shop in an architectural landmark in Novosibirsk, Russia. My knowledge of the Russian language as well as the design market was a skill her team didn't have at the time so I jumped right in. It took me some time to source the materials, equipment and various suppliers for her project which resulted in a 3 day intense trip to the capital of Russia with herself and another colleague to meet with the selected suppliers and visit numerous showrooms. We had a fantastic time with Anna in Moscow and I am delighted that we were such a good team during our short burst of cooperation. Anna is a fantastically creative person with a vast practical experience across multiple design fields, to which she has now added some Russia-specific knowledge. She is an amazing conceptual designer who can tackle anything - from brand identity to bespoke wardrobes.”
