Made to Measure Blind Professionals in Seaford, East Sussex

“Emma visited us in our new home the week following completion and we spent time in every room attempting to describe the look and feel we were seeking. We set her the seemingly impossible challenge of coming up with design schemes for every room in just two weeks. The mood boards Emma created in such a short space of time are testament to her brilliant style and creativity but, above all, her ability to listen really carefully and deliver what we had asked for. The scope of Emma's ideas included wall finishes, colours, fabrics for all furnishings, carpentry, tiles, floorings, lighting, an attic conversion and new bathrooms. After an hour on the phone fine tuning colours and fabric Emma was able to deliver a fully specified mood board for each room together with fabric, wallpaper and paint specifications. We renovated and decorated the whole interior of the property in just 14 weeks and this was only possible because we had Emma's schemes to work with. Building and decorating costs were definitely kept to a minimum because all the decisions had been made in advance and the spirit of all trades involved remained high throughout because of this. I cannot recommend Emma highly enough - nothing is too much trouble for her and her cheerful, positive attitude will carry you through the process with confidence. Our beautiful home is much admired by everyone who visits, but the best reward is the pleasure we have every day in actually living in the finished rooms.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Jonathan recently consulted for us on both design work and creating space for us on some extensive work we were having done in our home (Kitchen/ Large Conversion/ Garden). We couldn't be happier with the final results and can't thanks Jonathan enough - his vision an eye for detail were second to none and I've already referred him to friend and family.”

“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.”

“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.”

“So pleased to have found Amy to help me with design and colour schemes for an internal revamp of my house. Brought a creative but pragmatic eye (given budget was tight); was a delight to get on with and gently steered me on a number of key decisions. Also helped me save money by using her contacts with suppliers to get discounts and persuaded me out of a couple of expensive decisions which, on reflection, she was absolutely right about. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, both professionally and personally.”

“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.”

“Great vision for the project, but more importantly able to guide us on a peaceful path to achieving it. Could not recommend more strongly!”

“Incredibly professional, accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. The communication is outstanding from every member of their dedicated and caring team. Really enjoyed the whole experience and their outstanding results. We look look forward to working with them again early next year to help re-design our bedrooms. My only hesitation in recommending this company is on the basis they might then be too busy to help us again in the future!”
