Laura Stephens Interiors

Laura is an absolute joy to work with. She quickly understood my taste and what I was looking for, tied new interiors to my existing style whilst broadening my horizons with ideas and touches I would never have thought of or dared to try on my own without professional input. She completed the project under budget and was mindful of costs at all stages. Laura is a real tribute to her profession and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again on future projects.

I have worked with Laura a few times - she designed our loft conversion, renovated our children's bedrooms and recently she has completely transformed our sitting room. What was a sad and gloomy room is now warm and elegant thanks to bold use of colour, which is one of Laura's trademarks. I find Laura so easy to work with - she really listens to what you want and then devotes herself to finding the right combination of paint, fabric, furnishings and furniture to create a unique but liveable space. She also has an amazing eye for detail which is so valuable. I can't wait to find another project in the house to work with her on!

It was a real pleasure working with Laura. I hadn’t worked with an interior designer before so wasn’t sure what to expect but she was very open to my ideas, encouraging and extremely helpful. The brief was to refresh my open plan living area of my flat with entirely new furniture, colour scheme and some joinery work for shelves and a dining bench. Laura liked many of my ideas but also provided excellent suggestions and found beautiful fabrics and wallpapers. I felt her approach was very collaborative and respectful. She also helped provide excellent contacts and workmen for various jobs. I am thrilled with the end result.

We recently hired Laura to help design the living room in our Victorian terrace. We'd never worked with an interior designer before and were keen to avoid 'outsourcing' the design process - we wanted to work with someone collaborative who could help organise our thoughts and introduce us to ideas that we hadn't previously considered. We noticed that Laura's previous projects were very diverse, demonstrating her adaptability and willingness to work to each client's brief. What unifies her projects though is an expert use of colour and textures to create spaces that are beautifully put together and look like they'd be easy to live with. We are absolutely delighted with the finished result of this project. Laura responded brilliantly to our brief, taking forward some of the ideas we'd already had and linking them with her own. We invested our trust in Laura and embraced bolder ideas than we'd have had on our own and this approach has paid off. Her attention to detail has also helped enormously, giving the room a clear feeling of being 'finished'. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura and have already hired her for our next project, which we look forward to getting started on very soon!

I initially spotted Laura's work on her beautiful Instagram page and instantly knew I had found the right person to give my downstairs the refresh it needed after the renovation work we were having done. She really listened to what I wanted but also came up with some original ideas I many not have has the confidence to try on my own. She was a delight to work with and nothing ever seemed too much effort. She managed to create a light, peaceful but sophisticated and interesting space which we love. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

I've had the pleasure of working with Laura for the last 2 years. Hello Flora has been styling faux flower & vase arrangements into her beautiful interiors. She's professional but with a personal touch, & she has a wonderful eye for detail.

Working with Laura has been absolutely fabulous! I initially went to Laura to help me with colour schemes for my full house renovation and loft extension. She really listened to what I wanted and has subsequently come up with a gorgeous scheme which flows seamlessly through the whole house; I love it (as do the builders) and it is just so refreshing not to be doing everything in one colour which is what I had in my previous property and was keen to get away from. Laura has also been helping me with choosing fabrics, light fittings and carpets which has also been brilliant as I really found the choice out there to be extremely overwhelming. What Laura has been able to do is streamline those choices and guide me towards making a decision. It's been a very collaborative approach through discussions, meetings and shared pinterest boards which I have found very helpful indeed. She has helped me think outside the box and consider options that I hadn't initially thought of which has been brilliant. She is also mindful of budgets so is very good at presenting all the options from high end to more high street which is always appreciated... Laura's knowledge and expertise is second to none. She is very quick to come back on any questions or concerns which is always a relief, particularly when juggling project managing the building work alongside my own busy job. Her schemes have been extremely clear which is enormously helpful, particularly when dealing with builders etc... I have no hesitation in recommending Laura to anyone who might be looking for help and advice on a house project no matter how big or small. For me it has been truly invaluable and I'm thrilled to have found her as it wasn't something that I had necessarily thought about when I started the whole process. I know that if I were to have another project on my hands, Laura would be one of the first people I call. I've already been recommending her to friends and whilst this particular project draws to a close there will be more bits and bobs that I'll need her help on.

Laura was an amazing help when we were renovating our house. She really works with you, getting to know what’s right for you and the other people living in your home. She has a brilliant eye for colour and in particular fabrics - she gave me confidence to choose gorgeous patterns for curtains, blinds and upholstery which I wouldn’t have dared made if I’d been choosing on my own. It doesn’t feel contrived, greige, or over- designed. I feel like my home is my own but has the extra sparkle and taste that Laura has given it.

Laura started with a brief to overhaul our sitting room, I loved what she did so much she ended up working her magic on every single room in the house. Laura is easy to work with, considerate and thoughtful - she understood that whilst I wanted colour and a dose of luxury injecting in to every room that we also had a practical element to consider of dogs, cats and kids and a healthy but not unlimited budget. Laura delivered above and beyond my expectations and within budget - I was particularly pleased with her ability to mix high end luxury items with the high street & just in the right measures but most of all I enjoyed the process.

Laura redesigned our drawing room beautifully. We are thrilled with the end result and very much enjoyed working with her. She is a master at bringing together sumptuous fabrics, original furniture and light fittings and provided excellent mood boards to help us visualise how it would all look. I have no hesitation in recommending Laura.

Laura has completed two projects for me, and I've been delighted with the results both times. The first was overhauling our kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and hallway. Laura demonstrated real creative flair and vision, a fantastic eye for detail, and also the ability to manage the project effectively and efficiently. The kitchen also has a dining area and a large seating area, and Laura has made each area feel like a separate space while also part of the whole. Everything about the design is stunning - not something I could have achieved by myself, but Laura was always very good at listening to and interpreting ideas, likes and dislikes. In other words, she doesn't try to impose schemes on the client but works with you to create a brilliant result. The second project was my daughter's bedroom, which has been transformed from a messy teenage pit to an amazing, cool (but also highly functional) space which she just loves. It was done on a tight budget and to a tight deadline. I would recommend Laura to anyone with full confidence that she will give them the best combination of inspirational design and practical implementation to create a beautiful home.

Laura was a pleasure to work with. She was full of ideas from the big (sofas, lamps and wall colours) to the small which really brought the room together (cushions, smaller decorations) and really understood what we wanted from the project. She was really quick to respond to all our questions and the occasional change to the brief - we would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking to refresh, renovate or reimagine their home.
