Josephine helped us in the design and selection of furniture for nearly every room in our home. She works quickly, taking in feedback and sharing a lot of options. We were able to make better, informed decisions quickly thanks to her guidance.
She is always willing to help and her creative ideas helped us maximise the space in many areas of our home!

Josephine helped us furnish our brand new flat. We are very thankful for the flexibility, the ability to find and source the right items, arranging for everything to fit neatly into a given budget! We are so happy now with how we can stun friends and family with how great our flat looks! Thanks Josephine!

The brief was to redesign a basement that had suffered from flooding and was in a pretty grim state; plus update a spare bedroom which we needed to work harder as an office/spare bedroom.
Josephine listened to my very vague plans, and within an amazingly short time came up with 3 different designs for 3 different budgets on an intractable pdf that allowed me to adapt and refine it until I was really happy with the design. The final result is fabulous and exactly like the final design pdf. Both the rooms Josephine designed are now our family's favourite rooms in the house - they are bright yet calm and modern yet fit well within our victorian house.
Working with Josephine saved me both time and money and avoided lots of stress while delivering a design and finish that I would not have managed on my own!
At our first meeting Josephine explained her design stages which I was grateful for as I hadn't worked with an interior designer before. Josephine made herself available to both myself and my builder while the works were going on; she was happy to pop in to discuss certain aspects face to face.. I felt the whole project was made painless due to Josephine's professional, approachable attitude and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. I will definitely use her services again.

Josephine helped us to present our house for sale. It was an incredible experience. Our house had been on the market for 7 months and we did not have many offers and all of them were low. We enlisted Josephine’s help and in the space of an afternoon she transformed our house into a dream family home. Most of it by re-arranging our existing furniture and accessories. She also suggested some items for us to borrow or buy cheaply second hand to make the house stand out even more. The transformation was remarkable and our house looked stunning. Within two days of her work we have accepted an asking price offer. It truly is incredible and we can’t thank Josephine enough for her remarkable work.

Josephine helped us completely decorate a 2 bedroom London flat; she designed layouts for the rooms, showing different options with moodboards and selected furniture. We are very inexperienced about interior design and her help was extremely valuable to understand how to make the best use of the space and create an interesting, warm and inviting space. She directed us to a lot of interesting companies to select furniture, how to use colours in the different rooms and where to find unique accessories. We had hoped she could manage the process completely but due to all the furniture delivery delays in 2021 this turned out to be much more challenging than it should have been. We highly recommend her!

Josephine was absolutely fantastic on our project (four storey townhouse). She combines brilliant style and design ideas with very practical suggestions on how to efficiently organise space for family life. What a rare combination. She was extremely professional, efficient, quick and simply a pleasure to work with. The result is amazing. Our house would look nowhere near as nice without Josephine’s help. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Josephine continues to be a pleasure to work with. She has recently advised and designed two new bathrooms for us using a range of materials (tiles, wood, glass, quartz, mirrors) to bring interest and design flair. The overall results are warm, calming and much more appealing spaces with fun touches of colour in the artwork and accessories selected. They also look much bigger than before and yet have more storage - result! She has also chosen colours and styles that are consistent throughout the house which was particularly thoughtful and pleasing. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Josephine is a wonderfully creative artist who takes the time to understand the project and also the impact her ideas will have on the household.
She is not afraid to push boundaries with both her designs and colour palette which was definitely something we needed!
Josephine’s attention to detail and her understanding of light (natural and artificial) means that she is able to advise with confidence what will and will not work in a space in terms of colour, patterns and furniture.
Throughout our project Josephine kept us up to date via messages and emails (even late at night!) and we cannot recommend her enough for helping us create our fabulous, cosy family home.

Josephine is an absolutely brilliant interior designer. She’s creative, highly professional and has designed such beautiful rooms for us which are both amazing spaces in terms of how they look and feel but also functionality. The top floor of our house with two bedrooms, a study and a bathroom had been rarely used but that changed when I began to work from home and we were expecting another baby. We added a second bathroom to her brief and she came up with beautiful designs. We felt quite overwhelmed with the task in hand but she has contacts with builders who we were extremely happy with. She drove the project forward to ensure that everything was ready in time. The top floor which didn’t really add anything to the house has become an amazing space that we love spending time in. My wife convinced me that we needed an interior designer, to be honest I saw it as a luxury that we didn’t really need but she’s providing a brilliant service that takes the hassle and a lot of stress out of building works in your home. We also could have never come up with so many great ideas, she’s made the house extremely special and it completely suits the personality of our family. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

We had the pleasure of meeting Josephine from JLV Design for a 2 hour consultation. Having recently moved into our new house, we had many vague ideas for improvements but weren't quite sure how to make it our own. Josephine advised us on everything from wallpaper and paint colours, to room layout, missing furniture, light fixtures and even recommending quality local tradespeople (the list goes on). We are now confident in our next steps and look forward to seeing these ideas come to life!

Josephine is incredibly friendly, stylish and professional with a creative eye and ‘can-do’ attitude.
R6 Stone, supply all of JLV Designs’s stone surfaces and based on client feedback and based on our working relationship, I can without a doubt highly recommend her services.
Josephine will transform your property into a dream home with her creativity, expertise and flawless interior design.
Not only do we supply her surfaces, but we got to experience her service on a personal level too, as we approached Josephine to re-design our own property this month!
She carried out a home consultation, professionally taking measurements for all rooms herself, in order to design our pdf design package.
She guided us through colour schemes for all rooms and sent us suggestions for soft furnishings and furniture too!
She will oversee the whole project from start to finish, working with our builders which tbh puts my mind at rest and leaves me to getting on with running my busy family/business life as usual, knowing everything is in hand.
She is a godsend - highly recommend!!!
And can’t wait to see the finished project!
Thank you Josephine for all your hard work and dedication, as always, kindest regards, Rebecca R6 Stone

Josephine redesigned our ground floor to create a family kitchen/dining room and a separate work and living space to meet our needs.
She offered innovative ideas which prevented us wasting money on an unnecessary extension.
We just needed help in seeing how the available space could be used more effectively.
She is a lovely person to work with and responded quickly to any questions which arose during the project.
She created excellent drawings with a range of ideas for colour, décor and layout.
Josephine has lots of contacts in the trade and can signpost to reliable building contractors/suppliers.
We are now enjoying lockdown in a beautifully designed ground floor !

Josephine was a godsend for us. We were working to a tight timeframe before the arrival of our baby and she had a brilliant ‘can-do’ attitude to drive the project forward for us, quickly kicking the project off with a host of ideas. She is detail orientated and delivery-focused and very responsive when you email and message her. Of course she is very creative and had an amazing sense of style to guide us and draw out what we were looking for in our dream home. She then found the pieces and colour schemes for us to bring that to life. We had a lot of our own thoughts and bought some of the pieces and chose some of the wallpaper independently, and she had no problem at all working with this input and weaving it into her vision and a greater whole.
It was a real pleasure to work with her and we would strongly recommend her.

Josephine is a great professional and although we had to work remotely for most of the time it was very easy to work with. Very articulate, communicated clear requirements and it was very easy define plans and colour schemes. Very accommodating and understanding which made our work simple.

Where to begin? Joséphine was an absolute joy to work with and delivered on every level. My husband and I had fallen out of love with our house, and having decorated it several times over the 14 year’s we’ve lived here, we wanted a fresh approach. Using an interior designer was a new experience and we thought it wouldn’t necessarily be for us (intimidating/ too expensive/ too ‘out there’). However, Joséphine seemed to intrinsically know what was needed to bring out the best in our house, work within our tastes and budget and challenge us with new ideas. From wallpaper choices to clever refurbishment ideas, we loved josephine’s approach to style and functionality. As with every project, there were sticking points with the building team, but Joséphine was an excellent mediator. Always incredibly professional and willing to go the extra mile. We are thrilled with the result of her endeavours and have fallen in love with our home again. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Josephine is an amazing interior designer. When I first contacted her for my project in 2018, needless to say that I was quite confused and had ran out of ideas for how to redesign my very outdated flat.
Josephine patiently listened to me and came with a very clear idea of design for my living room, my hallyway, my bedroom and my 8-years-old's bedroom. I had seen architects and other designers without success. Josephine managed very quickly to understand not only what the problems were but more importantly how to solve them with. My main issue being the size of my flat being very small, Josephine came up with brilliant ideas to better manage the space but also put a very stylish touch completly in line with my tastes and personality.
Josephine was also a gret support during the whole building work where she remained available and encouraging and helped me to keep on track.
I would highly recommend Josephine for any interior design work as she is as exceptional at completely rethinking and rearrange an interior space as at creatively styling it.

We had the pleasure of working with Joséphine last year. She is a consummate professional as well as very friendly putting us both at ease on how this process would work. We love our new home; Joséphine’s suggested designs really bridged some of the differences in our taste as a couple and have created a beautiful living space for us.
We thought that this process would be very expensive, but we actually saved money as Josephine makes suggestions based on what is tasteful and works not based on cost and she has made so many technical suggestions that we would never have thought of ourselves.
We would highly recommend working with her.

Josephine was courteous and friendly. She listened to my ideas and made various suggestions which captured my ideas, as well as making other recommendations which were complimentary to my initial ideas. Whilst some of the suggestions were not what I was looking for, some of them I loved instantly and would never have found myself. I definitely feel that the design ideas I had were enhanced and implemented in a much more classy, impactful and design version of what I could have achieved on my own. I also think that Josephine’s advice on the impact of certain colours and styles in the specific room (size and shape) were things that I would not have known myself. On some issues, even where I had doubts and needed time to reflect, I ended up putting faith in Josephine’s judgment and was glad I did. The result was better than I could have inagined. I get many compliments from visitors about the results. I still have more interior decoration to do and will be using Josephine’s services again.
I also thought that the fee was worth the money and that Josephine stuck to the fee quote she had given.

We were delighted with the ideas that Josephine gave us to update and reconfigure a room in our house. She ensured the design worked with the existing decor in other rooms but emboldened us to try colours and fittings we’d not have been brave enough to choose ourselves. We’re really pleased with the final outcome and in addition have had several friends asking where we bought our ceiling light from as they want to get the same one!

I contacted Josephine recently after we moved into our first family home. I knew that I wanted to redecorate and I had a very tight deadline to meet because I had to move in within 6 weeks. However, I really didn't know where to start. The house, although large and with a great layout was extremely uninspiring inside, every room felt dark and lacked any warmth. I brought Josphine in to help with two living rooms, our kitchen and master bedroom. I am so glad that I came across Josphine, I gave her an incredibly tight deadline to come back to me with mood boards because my decorater was ready to start. She met my deadlines and she has helped us create the most wonderful family home. The transformation is quite incredible, looking at the rooms now my husband and I agree there is no way that we would have created such a beautiful living space on our own. She always came within the budget that we set, she always came back to straight away with any questions I had and she is a lovely person to work with. Before the process started, I wondered whether an interior designer was worth it, would it deliver what I wanted and would it be worth the expense. For me, it was absolutely the best decision I made and that is down to choosing the right interior designer. Working with Josephine took the stress out of the process, made it highly enjoyable and delivered a wonderful result. I highly recommend her and I am so impressed that I have now asked for her help with the children's nursery.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Josephine. I already knew that Iiked her style as I’d seen previous projects on Houzz, she came up with a couple of different options for our units and we focused on one of them to make it right for our space. She was very quick to respond to my requests and very amenable too. We are delighted with how they look and would not only highly recommend her but would love to work with her again if we have future projects.
A real highlight was working with a Steve, her carpenter. He worked really hard on the project, the finish is very high quality and he was a pleasure to be around. Both Steve and Josephine had a lot of attention to detail, which we especially appreciated.

I contacted Josephine after going through a complete house refurbishment. Once I got to the stage of decorating the interiors of the house - specifically the new open plan kitchen sharing a space with living room and dinning room - I felt stuck!
Josephine really listens and considers current furniture or key pieces in order to come up with mood boards and proposals. She really gets a good sense of the lifestyle and personality of her clients.
There is no way I would have been able to choose on my own the furniture she proposed - as I and to stick to the same kind of style. By hiring JLV design I went out of my comfort zone and achieved a very updated, fresh and elegant look.
I was so pleased with the result in the open plan kitchen that I decided to hire Josephine to help me with the guest bedroom, tv room and master bedroom!

I asked Josephine for ideas for refreshing two rooms in the family home, which initially involved recovering some beloved chairs and sourcing curtain fabric. Then I changed the project by moving to a newly built flat. Josephine stuck with it to help me reuse what I had put away and add new features, including a particularly challenging curtain pole installation. Her warm, cheery personality and attention to detail were reassuring. I love my new space where I am surrounded by things I want to live with.

Josephine is an extremely talented designer with a keen eye for detail and impeccable taste. She took great care to attend to my specific needs. She is unbelievably efficient. We had the bathroom and kitchen design sorted weeks before I was able to secure a tradesperson to do the installation! I was so impressed with her work that I asked her to help me with my lounge, dining and master bedroom. Again she exceeded expectation selecting the most beautiful pieces to compliment the layout and colour scheme. Always coming within budget, and giving a good selection of options for you to choose from. Despite being based in Kent, she always managed to organise visits to make the project run smoothly. I am so glad that I stumbled across her work whilst browsing Houzz that rainy Sunday afternoon. Incidently, she replied to my enquiry almost immediately.
A consummate professional. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Josephine is very professional. She listened to me had a look at our flat and was able to submit a project that was totally what we needed. She really has an eye to put the right pieces and colours in the right place. She followed up and helped us in every step. I greatly recommend her.

Josephine is fab! She helped us jump start our basement renovation project. We wanted to turn a damp awkward space into a cool teenage den for our kids to hang out in. This was our 3rd attempt at sorting this room out. She presented some brilliant designs which were also very practical and affordable. She was there when we needed her but also let us get on with the bits of the work we felt comfortable with.

Working with Josephine was a dream. She encouraged us to be braver with our design choices without ever being pushy and was respectful of or budget.
Josephine was always available by phone or email to answer questions and would send us pictures of ideas she had seen for inspiration for the flat.
We live in an open-plan flat and the result is a very clever use of space. We were able to upcycle the kitchen beautifully which not only fit in with our budget but also our sustainability efforts.

Josephine has done an amazing job on our house. She has styled each room differently bit in a complimentary manner so that without spending a fortune, we've gone from liking our home to really loving it.
She's super efficient, good at communicating and really nice to work with. Can't recommend her more highly!

Josephine is an inspirational designer! Having moved to a complete blank canvas with five floors needing furniture, lighting, colours and accessories we did not really know where to start. Josephine listened carefully to our ideas and then pushed our boundaries in terms of both colours and styles. She has an incredible eye for detail and for selecting beautiful pieces which stand alone whilst also complementing the overall design.
She took great care in updating us regularly in terms of our budget, delivery dates and made sure she was available for lighting installations. Josephine is always professional and is also fun to work with.
Josephine has created a beautiful family home for us with a real 'wow' factor and we would not hesitate to recommend her.

We are delighted with Josephine's input on our kitchen/diner design. The builders started work in October and we didn't know what we were asking them to do! Josephine quickly came up with some interesting ideas to add fun, colour and style to our new space. She found some wonderful cement tiles for our kitchen splashback - I would never have thought of them myself, the builder was dubious but they look amazing. Likewise, she transformed our alcove into a fabulous feature but with plenty of storage space too. She has also helped with final styling She was a pleasure to deal with, we would highly recommend her and I would love to avail of her services again!

We are absolutely delighted with the work that Josephine has carried out on our house. What started off as a small, room by room project, quickly grew to encompass our TV room, office, master bedroom, teenage daughter’s bedroom and guest room - in fact, most of the house! While each room has it’s own unique identity, there is a unifying consistency throughout the house, which is exactly what we wanted. Josephine cleverly used many of our own things, up-cycling as she went, and married them with new and vintage pieces to create a stylish, yet practical, home. Her use of wood, metal, soft furnishings and stunning statement pieces in each room was simply inspired.
Josephine was a pleasure to deal with throughout the project, which was delivered on time and on budget. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others and indeed have already done so, with considerable success.

My experience with JLV Design was really inspiring and relaxed. She came to my studio for a styling and photographing session and it was a very productive day! She has a very clear and simple way of working and expressing her ideas, making it easy to understand. Great creative stylist!

I was in desperate need of advice on where to hang (or not hang) all the pictures I love, most of which have sat in my attic collecting dust since we moved 6 years ago. Josephine’s amazing designer’s intuition, coupled with a rationale behind all the decisions we made, was absolutely fantastic. I felt that I was listened to and that we worked collaboratively resulting in my home looking beautiful. It gives me such pleasure to look around my house now and would not hesitate to use JLV Design again on my next interiors project. Thank you Josephine!

Interior Design Advice
I wanted some advice on how to organise and decorate a 'compact' living space. I had an idea of what might work but wasn't quite sure where to start, for example there were three possible options to place the television but I could not decide which was the best. Josephine was able to help me plan the living room to create 'zones' within it that would divide the room and offer separate ares for sitting and eating. This will maximise the space, give it a dual purpose without one zone interfering with the other. Her experience and expertise were invaluable and I would highly recommend JLV Design. I also really love her work and ideas about how to use colour and pattern. Thank you for all your brilliant ideas and suggestions, you have helped me transform a box into a stylish and inviting living/dining area.

Last year I had some time in-between 2 jobs and decided to build something that I always dreamed of - a garden studio. This was quite a challenge but I really enjoyed it.
Where I needed help the most was in decorating the finish product. I'm good with a drill, but when it comes to choosing colours, I'm at lost.
And Jo came to the rescue!
The brief was simple. I wanted a modern urban man cave with plywood and all that cool Shoreditch style.
Jo first selected the main colour which is a deep blue, and some amazing William Morris wallpaper. I was a bit sceptical about the latter but the end result is fabulous.
She organised some shelvings and storage with oiled OSB doors, suggested leaving the raw plywood flooring and helped me selecting a nice Scandinavian desk.
The end result is exactly ... me!
Thanks a million Jo for this outstanding help!
