Having purchased a pretty period property a few years ago we were struggling to find the right furniture and finish to do justice to the proportions of our home but which suited our modern, eclectic style. We felt slightly paralysed as had attempted to use other interior designers but been disappointed with the suggestions proffered and the results. From the moment we met Rebecca we felt very happy that we were in safe hands and suddenly were excited to move forward. Rebecca has not disappointed. So far Rebecca has done two amazing boys bedrooms for us, bright yet calming and tailored to each of our sons personalities. Rebecca has also designed the most beautiful playroom for us with loads of storage for all the plastic but which tidies up in an instant (unfortunately not by itself) to be a stunning sitting room. Rebecca is now working her magic on our living room and we are so excited to sit back and enjoy the results. Rebecca’s eye for design is apparent from the photos of her work and from the sheer number of awards and commendations that she has. However, here are a few things about Rebecca that may not be immediately obvious: -Her pricing is entirely transparent, so you can see exactly what you will spend on design fees from the outset; but also the savings that you will make from taking advantage of Rebecca’s trade discount. It was a revelation to us that an interior designer could actually save us money! -She uses a wide range of suppliers, from high-end, luxury, design-led Italian manufacturers to local and unique small businesses. For our kids bedrooms, Rebecca even included a few carefully curated pieces from well-known online retailers, which were as pleasing on the eye as the wallet. No more scouring the internet for the perfect piece, only to be disappointed with the actual product when it arrives! -She is very responsive and professional. If you have a question for Rebecca she will get back to you immediately, provided that she isn’t driving or with a client (and even then you would be unlikely not to hear from her by the end of the day). -You get Rebecca when you want Rebecca! Rebecca is responsible for all design projects (not anyone else) so you know that you are getting the benefit of her experience and talent at all times. -Rebecca will make your home look beautiful but she also thinks of practicalities. For example, we incorporated a gorgeous jewel-toned velvet sofa in our kids playroom which looks incredible but liable to be destroyed by our 3 lively children. However, this sofa is also the most comfortable seat in the house as well as being coated in some amazing product that Rebecca recommended that literally makes any spill easy to wipe away. -Rebecca uses excellent tradesmen. My husband has meticulously high standards when it comes to finish and even he has not been disappointed (that really is saying something). -You get to choose exactly how involved you are in the design of your project. Initially we were keen to steer the whole project and send Rebecca back to the drawing board if we felt this was necessary (which she was very happy to do). However, as time has gone by we absolutely trust that Rebecca just “gets us” and that, in fact, her eye for design and creativity far exceed our own! Yes, we still approve absolutely everything Rebecca does and she often sends us carefully selected “choices” to make (for example, a recent email with 6 or so different coffee tables that would work for our space) but increasingly we find that we agree with her choice. It’s a great feeling to find someone who you can rely on to make design decisions and saves my husband and I an awful lot of time, arguments and agonising!

Is the second time I’ve worked with Leivars and once again I had a very positive. I found that did they listen to me and what I wanted, they showed me a range of ideas and encourage me to try ideas outside of my comfort zone, I was happy with the fact they listened to what I wanted to spend budget wise and the final design, they achieved a cohesive flow throughout my home and I’m happy with the trades recommended for the project.

It was a pleasure from start to finish working with Rebecca and her team. They were so professional and went beyond our expectations of the kitchen project they worked on for us. I loved how clearly they communicated but also how they came to know our family and designed us an interior that fitted our needs better than we could have imagined. Every step of the process was handled with care and attention from the way ideas were pitched to the tradesmen they used to install the kitchen. I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We initially contacted Rebecca Leivars in November 2017 to help us decorate our newly purchased Georgian town home. However it quickly became clear that the house would require a complete renovation from top to bottom, including a remodeled kitchen, the design and installation of several new bathrooms, a wine cellar, a pantry, a bar, and substantial joinery throughout the house. Leivars and the building company, WSCB, made an excellent team. Rebecca helped us navigate through the difficult planning issues that arose from the renovation of a listed building. She managed an extensive, complex and difficult project with passion, and dedication, whilst remaining calm, positive and enthusiastic at all times. From a design perspective the Leivars team spent significant time with us at the beginning to understand exactly what we were looking for and as a result we were extremely happy with the overall design and layout. From the excellent quality of the construction work, joinery, and restoration work to the stunning visual design we couldnt have been happier!

After experiencing the very worst (and most stressful) of the building/interior design industry, it was even more refreshing to enjoy working with the very best! Rebecca Leivars and her team couldn't have been more professional, considerate, and creative in how they transformed my home from unhappy building site to very cool show home in just a matter of weeks. Seriously will never have enough praise for what Rebecca has achieved, and couldn't recommend Leivars more for anyone thinking about changing their home into their absolute pride and joy!

My husband and I have been working with Rebecca and her team for a year or so now on our home and I have enjoyed every minute of it! Rebecca is highly professional and dedicated. She is a delight to work with. Her concepts are beautiful and elegant. She listened to us and understood what we were after from our first meeting. We were looking for someone who would give us the confidence to go beyond our comfort zone and she did that brilliantly. I love the fact that she is open and easy to communicate with. She takes on board our ideas and does not mind hearing - on those very rare occasions - that we want to take things in a different direction, no matter how hard she has worked on her suggestions. Rebecca is passionate about her work, always after the perfect item, product or idea to suit us and our every day life. Her experience and advice have been invaluable. It all works wonderfully! She has been great fun to have involved in our project and we would not hesitate to use her again and would definitely recommend her and her team.

I contacted Rebecca after we'd spent three years living in our house after renovating it extensively. I had lost all enthusiasm for finishing it and felt we needed someone to help push us to the end and achieve the look and finish I'd dreamt of. Rebecca worked on three reception/ ground floor rooms for us. She took the time to understand our objectives for each room and how they would be used. I was very keen on built in storage and she designed some fabulous units including a window seat and a TV and media unit. Rebecca is highly creative and has a real flair for what she does. She pushed me out of my comfort zone on occasions to consider new things (such as proper cinema seating for our tv room and much darker colours than I would normally go for) and I'm very glad she did, as I'm over the moon with the end result. She has great contacts with suppliers, and if anything went wrong, ( a lamp that was delivered was bent in one place) it was sorted immediately and a replacement followed. Rebecca is abundant with drive and energy and incredibly likeable. I am extremely happy with the end result of our project and would highly recommend her to others.

Working with Leivars has been a revelation for us. I had no idea going into this quite how much of the project, contractor and supplier management they would take on and sort out - slickly, way better than we ever could ourselves and always with our best interest first. Leivars have without question saved us more than they cost, our period house has been renovated respectfully and looks fabulous, and we're still on good terms with the neighbours, council and all the contractors. Everything works beautifully and the finish is a standard I didn't even know contractors were capable of. Leivars have an eye for finding and combining decor and furnishings we simply never would have found ourselves. We really didn't give Leivars much coherent input as to what we were trying to achieve, but somehow Rebecca managed to incorporate our taste, our random pieces from here and there, and pull it all together. I wouldn't hesitate to use Leivars again, and have already recommended them to others.

Rebecca was a joy to deal with. She was able to reconcile the different views myself and my husband had about the project (good therapist!) and was persistent in finding a solution that met our expectations. She came up with lots of fresh and creative ideas that were appropriately priced. We are both delighted with the result!

When we started out project we had a vague idea to dismantle a large conservatory, build an extension and somehow increase the size of one or two bedrooms. Our house is in the countryside, with 2 acres and a large pond. The original house was small and very old but bits have been added over the years making it quite hotchpotch of bits a pieces. When we appointed Leivars, Rebecca spent a lot of time "interviewing" us and our children to understand what we really wanted and how will like to live. As a result we understood that we needed something far more ambitious and so embarked on a very different project to create a big, modern family home completely sympathetic to it's beautiful surroundings. We agree a fixed fee for Leivars to design and project manage which covered everything from architects, interior design, exterior works, landscaping, managing building works, negotiation of fees, quality control and so on. This was particularly important as we live overseas. The results on all accounts well exceeded our expectations. Rebecca and her team are a joy to work with - very professional, understanding, flexible, creative, very friendly and unpretentious. No request was too much trouble. Any change we asked for was implemented with no problems (even when this created a lot of extra work). Many problem areas were resolved with creativity and practicality. We were constantly in awe or the enthusiasm and attention to detail of Rebecca and her whole team. Despite a number of unforeseen technical issues, and changes in scope, we stuck to the agreed fixed fee and I believe we received massive value for money. For us this huge project created minimum stress and we now have an amazing family home which completely exceeded our expectation. We can't wait to move back tot he UK to live there full time. We have no hesitation in recommending Leivars in all respect. Thank you so much!
