We engaged Clare in the complete redesign of our entire ground floor, as well as our daughter's bedroom. Following a few emails and an initial visit to our home, lockdown hit, which was a little bit of a nuisance in the process! However, Clare quickly adapted and found a good way to share ideas and mood boards with us, as well as a few video calls to share ideas and discuss particulars. The design Clare delivered is perfect, exactly what we had hoped for, with vibrant colours and comfortable yet chic furniture. I was particularly impressed with Clare's understanding of our lifestyle, and she held our hands whilst we made leaps into the unknown. We're extremely happy with the outcome, and we thank Clare for opening our eyes to a new way of living.

Long before lockdown I had been planning a major rethinking of the ground floor open plan living space in my home. A “big” birthday allowed me to give myself a special present! A rework and re-energise was on the agenda! So I wasn’t prepared to be put off when the worst happened and to cheer myself up started searching Instagram for interiors that appealed to me. I was fortunate enough to discover Clare Elise Interiors. I loved the fresh clean look of the homes Clare had worked on that maximised natural light and incorporated wonderful surprises of colour. Clare sent me a clear and helpful brief to complete that asked really good questions and made me think through what I was really wanting to achieve. We followed up with a Zoom call so we could get to know each other as people and clarify some of my wishy-washy vision! Clare immediately came across as warm and friendly, extremely professional and practical. One of the key elements is the budget and Clare was able to give an indication of how much needed to be committed to achieve my dreams. That was really helpful as it is crucial to budget properly. She has kept an active spreadsheet so I can see what has been paid to date and what is left to come. All costs are flagged for agreement before any work is committed to. Clare kept me up to date with her thinking via the power of email and WhatsApp. But never all jumbled together. Each element distinct so I could focus on a decision and not be sidetracked. She quickly provided an initial vision of how she saw the space being used so much better and between us (me as photographer and measurer) we identified all the current furniture, art, curtains et al so she could start sifting through it all. I was able to flag up the pieces that were “must keep” and equally say what could go. I was so pleased when lockdown was lifted as Clare has been to visit me, see the space for real and to keep an eye on progress. Clare was brilliant at making me part of the redesign team. We had lots of opportunity to discuss ideas and my suggestions were just as valued as hers. She sent through fabric swatches, links to websites to explain ideas and helped me. Clare drew up new layouts for the space, utilising current items and proposing new ones to enhance the room. Where I had to make choices, she provided a number of well-researched options for me to consider. My home is 1960s and I wanted to maintain that timeless classic feel of some of the outstanding designers (British and Scandi) that I had grown up with. They never date! Clare knew exactly what I meant and the ideas she has come up with have been perfect. Clare’s experience means that she has built up a great group of workmen that understand what is needed and who dovetail in with each other so you, the client, know who is showing up when and where. Very useful! Clare also has fabulous links with fabric houses, tile companies and others that I would never have discovered in a million years of searching. Clare isn’t wasteful – if I owned it and loved it, we could recover it or repaint it or repolish it. Mixing high street with the occasional more expensive wow piece is an art and Clare has the eye for it! I had a horrible old fireplace and Clare’s vision for this was radical but AMAZING! Softly polished tiles that reflect light all around the room and brings both halves of the space together. I can stand and watch it forever as it changes subtly throughout the day and evening. In the evenings I sit on the sofa laughing to myself that it took Clare to change the direction of the sofa so it now looks out onto my lovely garden! I am thrilled with everything Clare and I have achieved. I would not have been able to do it alone and I think she has been excellent value. She has drawn the whole space together with a fresh eye so that it feels more relaxed, less cluttered and soooo comfortable and warm. The final colour palette has brought the calm I wanted with wonderful punches of turquoise and raspberry – just perfect! I love it all!

Clare was so helpful in getting us started on our interiors plan for our ‘forever’ house. She is super efficient and didn’t waste a minute which is just what we needed. She was also great at helping guide us when we were having one of our many ‘haven’t got a clue what to do with this’ moments. We highly recommend her.

I wanted to spruce up my tired-looking one-bedroom flat to make it easier to sell, while also having somewhere I enjoyed living in again before I moved on. I didn’t really know where to start, but when I spotted Clare on Instagram I thought she had a great eye. It turned out she was also really lovely too, so I asked her to help me redecorate and restyle my living room, hall and kitchen. She took me out of my comfort zone with colour choices and textures and introduced me to some great interiors brands I’d never have found by myself. Living alone, it was also brilliant having someone impartial who could give me a second opinion and who didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear. The result was a home I have enjoyed living in far more during my final year here, and when the time was right to put it on the market, I was flooded with viewings and offers. When I finally move into my new house, I will be calling on Clare again.

Very good design suggestions by Clare, despite my change in idea during the process. She is very thorough in understanding our preference during the initial consultation. We are still waiting for some furnitures to arrive after Christmas, but Clare’s design has already transformed our room. Recommend!

We used Clare to help us with the interior of our new kitchen extension and house refurbishment including our family room, living room, hallway, downstairs WC and family bathroom. We also extended the brief to include finishing touches for our bedroom. Clare is a very good listener and made sure she understood our practical needs as well as our personal tastes and preferences. She is really creative and gave us lots of ideas to consider from the mood boards she produced and Pinterest. She was so lovely to work with, really professional, down to earth and a great communicator. Clare has a brilliant eye for colour and was invaluable help with ensuring furniture and fabric choices for our downstairs rooms were exciting as well as well toned with each other. Clare worked to our budget and at the end of the build provided us with a detailed shopping list of the items she had sourced. This was really useful as it meant we could purchase the items in our own time and when our budget allowed. Our house has been completely transformed by Clare, it looks amazing and works really well for our family. We would highly recommend Clare to anyone daunted by similar refurbishment work and would say she is excellent value for money for the service and finish she provides.

I loved working with Clare. She spent time with me in person discussing the look I was aiming for and encouraging me to share images. She then provided a number of moodboards for me to consider and was very open to swapping things in and out according to my taste and budget. She was never resistant to making changes to the plans (which some designers can be). I also loved that she mixes high end with high street to help get the right look within budget. She also set realistic timeframes and stuck to them - I never had to chase. I was also impressed with all of the workmen etc that Clare retained and the quality of their work. Finally, I work full time so was very grateful that Clare offers an hourly service where she can accept deliveries or stay at your home with workmen for a very reasonable rate. I would recommend unreservedly.

Clare helped us with the design of our whole house, coming up with designs for the whole downstairs and 4 bedrooms and creating lovely mood boards and a list of things to buy. She really quickly understood what we wanted and was able to encourage us a bit to be more adventurous while still being really comfortable with the design. Clare was patient, flexible and worked seamlessly with the tradesmen during the renovation and we absolutely love the amazing result! Highly recommend.

We used Clare to help redecorate a number of rooms in our new house including the kitchen, utility room, new open plan living room, snug, playroom, hallway, master bedroom and ensuite. We chose Clare because I love her style and thought it would work well in our house. Clare created beautiful moodboards that really helped us to visualise her ideas. She gave us a comprehensive list of items that we could source, often with a few suggestions, but I also was able to source some of my own pieces with the help of the mood boards. It was so great to not have to test loads of paint samples and have a clear idea of what where we were going from the beginning of the building works. It made it so much easier to know the answers to the builders questions straight away! We are so pleased with the result and have ended up with beautiful and coherent decor with great pops of colour. I could never have achieved this look on my own but yet it feels so ‘me’. I felt her service was good value especially when you factor in not making mistakes and the time it would take to achieve the same look on your own. I would have no hesitation in recommended Clare for your interior project.

Comment from Clare Elise Interiors:

Claire thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a joy to help you ditch the brown and beige and inject some serious personality into the house. Looking forward to seeing it in print in the Spring!

Clare has helped us a couple of times with design ideas for our house. She is approachable and I think quickly understands what you are looking for. Her ideas were excellent each time and our rooms look so much better now!

We hired Clare to redesign and project manage the work required to makeover both our main bathroom and ensuite. Throughout the process, Clare took on board our vision and ideas and came up with a design that pushed us outside our comfort zone and gave us a contemporary and modern look that we wouldn't have been able to visualise without her! We had a few hiccups but Clare was able to deal with the problems professionally and keep us on track and within our budget limits, all while heavily pregnant and giving birth! I'd highly recommend her work to all.
