I had two bedrooms and the veranda designed by the Claudia Dorsch Design Team, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease with Claudia. After a couple of Zoom calls to establish my needs, she came personally to my home to do a full survey and take precise measurements—nothing was left to chance. Claudia is extremely professional yet warm, approachable and elegant, with a truly lovely personality.
What I appreciated most was how collaborative the process was. Although I trusted her instinct entirely (and she never let me down), Claudia and her team made sure the designs reflected my ideas, preferences, and lifestyle. I was asked to complete paperwork and moodboards to capture my likes and dislikes, which ensured the final result felt personal and authentic.
After paying the first instalment, I received provisional layouts and moodboards. I was free to make changes—without extra charges—until we signed off each stage. That said, I barely needed to tweak anything, as the team was incredibly attentive and intuitive.
Unless something was structurally impossible, my ideas were incorporated. Then Claudia added her expertise and creative vision to enhance the designs in ways I never could have imagined. Her suggestions were thoughtful and inspiring—like introducing wallpaper in ways that completely transformed the look, even though I thought I disliked wallpaper!
We had a few more meetings to fine-tune every last detail: colours, curtain fabrics, bed frames, wallpaper, lighting, mirrors—even electric socket placement. I loved that she included practical touches like an electric socket hidden inside a drawer for my hairdryer, which my joiner and electrician implemented easily from her detailed plans.
Claudia also worked within my budget, which was reasonable but not huge. She never encouraged unnecessary spending and often advised me to save on certain elements to focus on the areas that would have the most impact. That kind of honest, value-driven advice was deeply appreciated.
Once we finalised the plans, I received beautiful 3D visuals and the option to make minor final changes. I chose not to proceed with the full project management phase, simply because of budget, but I had every resource I needed to implement the design myself. All materials were clearly listed with product names and website links, and the team remained available if I needed help sourcing alternatives.
My joiner was especially complimentary—he found the plans detailed, clear, and considerate of the building quirks. Every corner, measurement, and cupboard opening direction had been factored in.
Claudia, thank you for guiding me so professionally and warmly through this journey. I could not be happier with the result, and I will try to post more photos soon, once everything is finished.
Well done to the whole team!
