Michelle Sucksmith Interior Design

We have used Michelle’s services on two projects. Our lounge that was completed last year and our bedroom completed this year. Michelle helped us choose from a vast range of samples of paints materials and furniture. Then arranged for everything to be delivered and curtains fitted. She was able to gauge from the things we picked out just what styles would suit us and our rooms. Also lots of ideas that we would never have thought of. We are delighted with both our rooms and would definitely work with Michelle again in the future.

We have just moved into a new build house and were introduced to Michelle via our builder as she had dressed the show house. It has been a joy to work with Michelle ,as she has listened to everything we wanted and come up with lots of different ideas and colour matches. The final roman blinds and curtains were fitted last week and we are thrilled with the results. We would never have come up with some of the combinations Michelle suggested, but the final results are stunning! It has been a very professional process, and she made it all very simple and smooth given that we were living over 200 miles away at the time! Video calls are very useful! Can I also say how good the fitter was - very efficient, a perfectionist and so tidy that one wouldn’t know he had been here! Altogether a very pleasant process, and I would certainly recommend Michelle to anyone thinking of revamping their home.

Extremely helpful when we were needing new wallpapers . Michelle was prompt and knew very quickly what things we liked and gave us masses of samples. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and I would not hesitate to recommend her .

I cold-called Michelle one evening and we immediately got on like a house on fire! She graciously collaborated with me and in amongst her Interior Design projects, she set aside a day to style & stage a holiday home photoshoot with me. We had never met in person and I was immediately impressed with the vast array of staging props she brought with her. The holiday home was barely ready for photography but with her magic, she very quickly styled each room ready for me to photograph and together, we created inviting home photographs for holiday guests to book. Michelle is super easy to work alongside and very knowledgeable with plenty of tips and tricks along the way to create the look I was striving for. Look forward to the next time, thanks Michelle x

We used Michelle to style our new holiday cottage in Seaton. She did an amazing job bringing the house to life. Thank you Michelle. Fresh Escapes

Michelle is highly professional and very knowledgeable but at the same is extremely friendly and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend her services - she really knows what she’s doing and came up with ideas that I could never have dreamed of. Thanks for the most amazing job you did for me Michelle......the bedroom is now gorgeous!

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle again after first meeting her sixteen years ago when she designed our curtains in our previous house. I didn't hesitate to contact Michelle again when we moved. I'm so impressed by the way Michelle works, I'm not sure I even had to give her much of a brief, her vision and ability to mix colour and texture is amazing. She really engages with the project, is truly professional and very responsive. I can't imagine making a decision without her!

This is the 3rd time we have used Michelle Sucksmith Interior Design. We would highly recommend this company. Michelle provides innovative ideas, quality products and workmanship alongside first class customer service. We are delighted once again with the outcome.

I initially found Michelle on Houzz as I liked her portfolio. Michelle was very professional yet friendly and not at all pushy, coming up with suggestions on cost saving using some existing furniture and how to design the house in stages. I liked her creative vision and nothing was too much trouble thereby transforming my house in a stylish, contemporary home with all the comforts and the rooms finally flowing into one another.

Michelle has designed the interior for barn renovation for us at our property. The Barn is modest at 40 sqm but Michelle has provided a beautiful design and finish with soft colour pallet to reflect the country location and our taste. She instinctively understands space, size and proportion, which in our barn was key to ensuring the space was warm, cosy but not cluttered. She has worked with our budget and suggested some great budget friendly ideas. The curtains and blinds we have had for the barn are such good quality and fit perfectly. We are about to do another project with a kitchen/dining room and will be using her again. I would highly recommend Michelle... such a talent and very easy to work with.

When we moved house Michelle was the first person we called. Having used her skills to help us decorate our house in France we knew her creativity in both design and helping us manage our budget would be invaluable. It was. With her foresight we were able to reuse curtains we already had but refresh the design with other fabrics and furniture. I love mid century furniture, Scandi design and bold colours and Michelle knew exactly how to reign me in whilst introducing me to new ideas I would never have thought of. Every room in the house needed new curtains and I love everything especially my Mark Hearld for St Judes squirrel fabric in our bedroom. It gives me extreme pleasure every time I go into the room, especially the little squirrel pouffe she had made for me to go with my vintage Ercol dressing table. I would never have thought of using an interior designer before meeting Michelle. Now I don't know how anyone decorates their house without one! Everyone needs a Michelle in their lives! She even cast an eye over our new kitchen plans and gave us some handy tips. I just love her taste and style and how she makes sense of everything I like and pulls it altogether beautifully without spending a fortune. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have recently ordered some venetian blinds from Michelle and have previously ordered curtains and roman blinds for another house. She offers a very professional service with a large variety of quality fabrics. Her customer service and attention to detail is second to none.

We were looking for some inspiration for our coastal themed house on the south coast and came across Michelle's work at the showhome for Heritage Homes on the internet. We were really impressed with some of the art pieces she had used, and contacted her to see if they would work in our home. She placed the orders on our behalf and we are delighted to say that they do and look wonderful. We are particularly proud of our metal fish shoal wall-art that takes pride of place in our dining room.

Michelle is a very professional and talented interior designer she produced a stunning new Show Home for us which fitted the bill perfectly! She can make the ordinary look extraordinary and she is incredibly hardworking! From the smallest job to the management and supply of an entire project, Michelle can do the lot! This is one talented lady and I would recommend highly her to anyone!

Very professional. Michelle provided a range of possible solutions for the interior decoration of my property which when implemented produced excellent results.

Michelle goes above and beyond to deliver something quite special. We met recently when Michelle was designing the show home for Heritage Homes in Exeter. We realised that Michelle had designed a room for me when she was working for Laura Ashley 15 years earlier. I was thrilled with the living room she created and have just had her design 2 bedrooms in the same house. I have total confidence in her ability and she makes everything easy from planning, designing and fitting. I would not hesitate in recommending Michelle and will definitely ask her to do more for me in the future.

Michelle was brilliant and very easy to work with,the project is looking very good much better than I could achieve myself. The finish is chic and beautiful. Ii will be using Michelle for my next rooms that need updating.

While having a Referb done on my house in 2016 I contacted Michelle to see if she would design the interiors for my master bedroom. She did and I couldn't have been more pleased, it looks stunning. She also did blinds for the bathroom and Kitchen. So when I decided earlier this year that my sitting room was looking tired and in need of a more modern feel I turned to Michelle again, and what a fabulous job she's done. Michelle has the insight to put colours together that I would never dream of doing. The furniture we chose has a modern contemporary look. The main sitting room wall now has a design of Italian lacquer and glass units in the most beautiful colours. The curtain sheers, window blind and cushions all have beautiful textures and designs. I now have a sitting room that blends and flows with the rest of the house and that is all thanks to Michelle. Michelle is really lovely and a fantastic interior designer. Shirley - Cullompton

The first I saw of Michelle work was in the show homes of a South West based award winning independent house builder HERITAGE. It was exceptional the detail in the textures & the colours & materials used was something different. I later contacted her to do some work on a new house I was buying. She advised me guided me,took into consideration what furnishings were involved colour wise & came up with some fantanstic fabrics for curtains that I would never have thought off. The details on them have drawn such complements I am over the moon. She also sourced some wall art for a blank wall which is super. She has given me so many ideas that have enabled me to turn my new house into a beautiful home but she does it in such a friendly way you do not feel under any pressure.

Having come across Michelle on houzz.com, we were struck by the fact we loved ALL her work. We are currently renovating a small cottage in Devon, and wanted it to be our dream home. Michelle arrived with a 'car load' of ideas and presented us with ideas we would never have thought of, but are now our favourite items. Her skills are first class and exceeded all our expectations. She has a very acute eye for detail and we would use Michelle again without hesitation.

I asked Michelle to do the colour scheme for my house when I renovated it, and also to source some curtains,other soft furnishings and furniture. In all aspects , she did a fantastic job and I was very pleased with the outcome. The colours were vibrant and bright which is just what I wanted, and I would never have been able to come up with such a scheme on my own. (Although , she can design all different types of shcemes, depending on your preference) Michelle is a trustworthy, creative and knowledgeable designer, who listens and understands what you require. Everything was dealt with efficiently and professionally, and was done well within the budget set. I recently wanted my downstairs lounge redesigned into a bedroom and again used Michelle's service. I was thrilled with the results; lots of people have commented on how great it looks. Michelle is diligent and enthusiastic and has a real passion for her work. She is constantly updating her knowledge by attending various expos etc so is always well -informed and up-to-date, as well as having years of experience in the profession. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have used Michelle on a number of projects at my home over many years. She has a visual sense that is second to none, what I would call instinctive but at the same time considered and thoughtful. Sometimes her choices are just breathtaking - I am thinking of a design solution to an unsightly feature of our house which seemed to come out of nowhere but was just perfect. She invests time and passion in her schemes and I would recommend her talent and skill for interior design without hesitation.

We were told about Michelle Sucksmith by our lighting consultant. We wanted help with the interior design, especially with curtaining our new house. Michelle and her team had to cover windows with a very high pointed apex and they designed and made superb drapes to fit those windows. I would recommend Michelle and her team as an organisation you will be able to rely on . A first class job.

We have known Michelle for well over a decade now. She has patiently assisted us with two properties, with one room projects tackled one at a time and more recently with a total refurbishment of our current home. From modest budgets to a more substantial one. She has a natural innovative flair for design and the ability to turn your desires into practical solutions. She is mindful of both the style of property and your own individual taste. We have no hesitation recommending Michelle ,she makes the whole process of choosing soft furnishings much easier, managing to clarify any ideas you may already have.

Moving to a new part of the country, and not knowing where to shop. Found Michelle Sucksmith interiors a one to one experience. She made my shell of a house into a home, and everything complimented existing furniture, and brought it back to life.

Michelle first helped me out choosing curtains and a sofa about 6 years ago. She has fantastic judgement about colour and texture, really takes time to understand the style of the house and the family's needs, always listens and isn't pushy. She gives me time to reflect and I now have such confidence in her. She has just designed our family room and everyone loves it., including the teenagers

We came across Michelle by chance when sourcing lighting for our new build. It has proved to be a very positive experience and Michelle made it easy for us, sourcing and organising fabrics, blinds, curtains and furniture whilst we were away overseas. She had an excellent understanding of our plans and was able to easily transform our ideas into reality.

It takes a certain kind of design professional to respond so enthusiastically to a wall paper sourced not by themselves but by the client. Michelle was generous, open-minded and above all, creative, finding fabrics for curtains, upholstery and other soft furnishings that took the wall paper to a whole new level. I did not have the knowledge, experience or confidence to combine the patterns, colours and textures that appear in the room; the design seems effortless - the very opposite of the 'scheme' that can look so forced - and this is down to Michelle's expertise.

We have just completed our new build project and Michelle has been been invaluable since the planning stage. When you have a project with seemingly endless choices it is a God send to have a professional to steer you through. Michelle takes the time to clearly understand your style preference and then helps and inspires you to achieve a look which is still you , but somehow better ! I found her to be able to think outside the box and has come up with solutions which have greatly improved the interior of our new home . Professional , knowledgeable , patient with a killer eye for detail and design , I would recommend her to anyone .

From choosing fabrics to room layouts and design, Michelle makes the whole process a joy. She has a fantastic eye for detail and creates the right image for our business. I have lost count of the positive comments we have had from potential clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michelle, she is professional and brings something unique to interior design in the region.

I have used Michelle a few times over the last 10 years and I find her to be an easy, friendly and informative person to work with. I am very influenced by styles from magazines and other sources but she manages to understand the look I want to achieve and the end result is something that will be a pleasure for many years. She has a very good knowledge of different manufacturers from fabric to furniture and would agree that she is also has a keen eye to mix cheaper items with the more expensive and achieve a great result. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michelle to design anything from just single rooms to much larger projects.

Michelle is the ultimate professional.... Her knowledge and advice were 'second to none' Her suggested schemes translated into a fabulous finished look for both my lounge and master bedroom. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Michelle's design skills to other clients. I 'm looking forward to my next project presentation from Michelle.

Michelle is inspiring! I have had the pleasure of her creative ideas for my house during the past 7 years and have been extremely delighted with the results. She has been a pleasure to work with and immediately had the insight to know what would work for me and what my tastes are. She also gave me the confidence to try different combinations of furniture and soft furnishings and as a result I have a wonderful home and love all that has been done here. A massive thank you to her and I'm looking forward to working on my next project with her.

My trouble is that I have many, many ideas, 1001 different colour schemes and too many pictures I like on pinterest. Luckily Michelle is brilliant at sifting through what I like and transforming it into not only what I need but what I love - and go on loving. She has an unrivaled eye for detail, effortlessly mixes classics with bang on trends and always seems to know what's going to be the next big thing. I love her style, her work ethic and the fact that she can find fantastic bargains that look like well edited style pieces. Despite her love for design she never forces her own tastes onto yours but works with you in a fun, interesting and clever way to steer your own ideas (or the chaff amongst the wheat in my case) into a marvellous reality that you could never create alone. I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle and have used her time and again to help, not just with the interiors, but even dressing my wedding reception too.

Michelle is a talented and creative designer. She has brilliant vision as to how a project will turn out. Her help to me for two projects was indispensable. Michelle has an instinctive feel for colour and style and manages to read exactly what I wanted but adding her own thought....this made the projects I had from interesting to truly stunning. Michelle is calm and fun to work with. She is honest and caring and above all truly interested in each project.
