Beth did the interior design for our first house project and from the outset impressed with her subtle and adaptable originality. We are so fortunate to have been able to draw on her wealth of experience, and through her practical—and, at times, necessarily firm—advice she saved us from what could have been some rather expensive mistakes! We feel entirely at home in this particular 'Imperfect Interior'; not only would we unreservedly recommend her services, but also look forward to working with her again.

Beth started by helping us with our two reception rooms, but ended up helping with other rooms in the house too. She was good at working out our taste and picking things that fitted, as well as giving different options. We’ve ended up with rooms I really love, and would never have been able to manage something so nice without her. She also knows lots of good contacts, from mirrors to fabrics to parquet floor companies to curtain makers, and everyone we used on Beth’s recommendation did a great job (a relief because finding reliable contractors can be hard work). The electronic pinboard was a great way of sharing ideas. On a personal level, Beth is great to work with - very warm and friendly. I would recommend her.

We completely refurbished a two bedroom flat from top to bottom. We used Beth's ideas for the final floor plan and she was instrumental in the development of the plan. She helped us fully maximize the space. Beth helped us choose everything from furniture and paint colors to door and window hardware, light fixtures, countertops, tiles, and soft furnishings. She helped us set up a Pinterest page for the flat so it would be easy to pin images creating a mood board for the space. The page was brilliant because it was a digital overview of the entire flat which we could refer to at any time during the renovation process. Beth is extremely responsive, professional and detail oriented. She is a real pleasure to work with and she made the experience enjoyable for us. We felt we received a lot of value for the money spent as Beth is fairly priced. We would highly recommend Beth for any size project.

Beth was great as she worked within my budget and suggested things of varying prices with lots of reasonable options. She worked out quickly what my taste was and provided contacts for good professionals such as painters and curtain makers. My house has been transformed into a stylish and welcoming home and I would have no hesitation in recommending Beth.

Beth is the consummate professional who takes time to understand her clients and is always thoughtful, helpful and full of great ideas. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with and her attention to detail is second to none. There are so many features in our house that we wouldn't have thought of without Beth guiding us through the process and the end result is far beyond what we had hoped for. We have a comfortable, stylish and efficient home that is just lovely to live in. People ask which is my favourite space and to be honest I love every aspect of our house. If you are lucky enough to have Beth work on your project I'm sure you will be just as delighted as we are, we cannot recommend her highly enough.

We’d undertaken a full house renovation and extension and felt overwhelmed creating a cohesive look throughout the house. We picked Beth as we loved her style and felt she really understood the look we wanted to create. Beth offered lots of advice on how to achieve the aesthetic we were going for and suggested great suppliers we would never have found ourselves.
She was an invaluable resource in navigating through our differing styles and providing practical solutions. It was also great that she pushed us outside of our comfort zone with the result being a house we absolutely love! We would definitely recommend Beth.

I worked with Beth to decorate several rooms in our house after my family relocated to London from the US. Beth was a joy to work with - organised, friendly, knowledgeable, and with a great eye for what would work well in our space. She listened to what we were looking for and helped us find quality pieces within our budget. This was definitely a smaller project for Beth, but she still gave it her full attention and enthusiasm. We love the finished product - our house is tasteful, comfortable, family-friendly, and truly feels like home. We would be delighted to work with Beth again!

We have really enjoyed working with Beth and would recommend her to anyone. We were impressed with Beth's previous work, particularly her use of old features with new, so was pleased when she agreed to help us. We wanted to enlarge the kitchen by relocating the toilet, install a new kitchen and bathroom and restyle the lounge, whilst doing so sympathetically to the Edwardian property. Beth met us to discuss our works and subsequently provided mood boards, plans and options on Pinterest. As we were on a budget Beth reused many existing items and where that was not possible, her excellent knowledge of sourcing items was invaluable . We have been particularly impressed with Beth's ingenious ideas to increase storage which is needed in our London flat and her use of complementary colours is just amazing. The end result is that our flat has been transformed and we are delighted. We can't wait to work with her again.

Beth at Imperfect Interiors helped us transform our home and we are absolutely delighted with the results.
We hired Beth to help with an extensive reamp of our home. The job involved redecoration off the insides of house including new wall colours and can, new bathrooms and revamped kitchen. We also replaced much of our furniture.
She assisted not only with design (choosing wall colours, carpets, hardware etc) but also preparing the scope of work, selecting contractors and suppliers, project managing the building work and styling at the end.
The whole process took around 1 year from initial consultation to putting the finishing touches on the decoration and furniture. (It would have been quicker but we had a new baby). We moved out of our home for two months while the builders were working.
With two young children there is simply no way we could have undertaken this project without Beth's expert assistance. As a project manager she is very professional. She is calm, clear and firm with contractors and suppliers, helping to find solutions when issues arose. She was great at keeping us on track too, including making sure we didn't miss out on offers or sales etc. She kept a firm handle on budget and was always giving us options for reducing cost. She has great contacts with contractors and suppliers, which in itself will have saved us money.
But it is Beth's talent as a stylist which really makes her stand out. She took the time to understand what we liked and did not like and how we use our home. She then developed a clear plan and vision for the whole house to unify the look we wanted. She always gave her honest opinion but was never pushy, and always tried to give us a range of options eg on furniture without overwhelming us with choice. We are simply delighted with the result.
I could not rate Imperfect Interiors highly enough. Thank you Beth!

We had moved into our new house 18 months previously before asking Beth for her help. The house had been beautifully decorated by the previous owners but none of it worked with our furniture and everything felt out of sync. We could not see how to fix it or where to start and that's where Beth came in. She has been absolutely brilliant: brimming with ideas, she has opened our eyes to new colours and styles whilst remaining sensitive to our tastes. The house now feels brighter, fresher and bolder - it is as though she has waved a magic wand over the whole place and we could not be more delighted with the results.

I knew Beth was the right person for the job immediately. I loved her style. I didn’t want anything too formal. This was a full house renovation and extension and she was consistently calm and endlessly patient during what can be a stressful time. Where I wanted to do things myself Beth was supportive and encouraging, offering words of wisdom and direction when needed. And when I needed her input she was decisive and sure. The end result is a house I love.

I cannot recommend Beth highly enough. She worked with me on a huge project that involved gutting an entire house, with structural changes and decisions on everything to be made from new windows to soft furnishings. Beth was consistently calm and organised and had a really constructive relationship with the contractors and other people working on the house which also helped things to go very smoothly. She always gave me plenty of options when it came to making a decision on tiles or carpets or furniture and was happy to take note of my taste and suggest suitable things that would fit with other things I liked. Her experience with such a huge project and her ability to stay calm and remain on top of things was invaluable. People always say to me how stressful it all must have been and I say not at all - because I was working with Beth!

Commented: I love this door - where could I find something similar?Thanks! The door was original to the house so you would either need to find similar in a reclamation yard (although the stained glass is unlikely to have survived) Or have a new version made by a carp...
