We have been very fortunate to have Sara Slade team fully renovate our 3-bedroom property and completely manage the project, start to finish, in only 4 months! Jessica and Cree are absolutely incredible, they have created a beautiful and functional space for our family, beyond our expectations, with attention to smallest details and in impeccable taste. Most impressively, they have organised all the work by contractors, all deliveries and streamlined the whole renovation process - it was truly a pleasure and delight to watch the property transform in their capable hands. We could not recommend them enough to anyone in need of an stress-free and beautiful home transformation!

Comment from Sara Slade Interiors:

Thank you so much for your kind words Lucy, I will be sure to pass them onto Jessica and Cree. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you to create a new home for you and your family to move into. We are sure that you will be happy there and create many happy memories in the future!

Valentin Chardome

Amazing work by an amazing team! Their emphasis to make every project they undertake as smooth as possible whilst also making it fun for their clients is very evident and every member of Sara's team is incredibly efficient and professional. Highly recommend !

Cassandra Stevens

We really enjoyed working with Sara Slade Interiors to design, purchase and project manage through completion on our new build. Jess was amazing at taking on feedback, imagining a space that worked for my family and really making it feel like “us”. When you first move into a new build, you can be overwhelmed by how white everything is. We didn’t know where to start. We gave Jess a few pieces that matched our taste and some direction on how we would like the spaces to function and feel. She really nailed it, and after 6 months living in the space, it truly does feel like our home. It’s perfect. & thank you Cree for chasing and organising all the furniture deliveries and work that was done. You really made a house (which looks like many other on the development) feel special and unique to us! Can’t wait to do the rest of the rooms with you in the future.

Sara is fantastic. A joy to work with, which is as important as the fact that she has a keen design eye and a great sense of style. The entire process of planning and choosing, to the execution of our different ideas, was a lot of fun...

Many, many thanks David, we were thrilled with the results in both of your properties in Cambridge and London! You made it an absolute pleasure for our whole team to work with you and your family!

Linda Johnson

A 5 star platinum service - this is what you can expect from Sara Slade Interiors. Sara understood exactly what I was trying to achieve with the renovation of my property and has taken my vision and turned it into a wonderful reality. Sara has been involved at every stage of the project from helping me to choose flooring to door handles, designing bespoke storage options, sourcing unusual lighting and lovely pieces of furniture and always keeping in mind that my home is to be my sanctuary for relaxing and also a great entertaining and social space. Sara has an amazing team working alongside her and any requests are dealt with promptly despite the challenges of COVID restrictions.

20 October, 2020

Comment from Sara Slade Interiors:

Thank you so much for your very kind words Linda! Every step of the journey from planning, build and fitting has been wonderful and you have been so open to new ideas and pushing the design to become something truly unique and personal to you - we couldn't wish for a better client!

I have just finished an amazing four months interning at Sara Slade Interiors. Sara and her team made feel welcome from the start and I have learnt so much during my time here. Sara has an incredible eye for design and the transformations that she completes are exquisite. I have been lucky enough to be a part in multiple stages of design work from pricing and creating schedules, sourcing alternative products and fabrics to seeing full projects through from start to finish. I would highly recommend Sara Slade Interiors for any design work!

Sara and her team we're most effective in sourcing the perfect cooker hood centre piece that transformed my new kitchen into a much talked about and shared subject between family and friends.

Sophie Anthony

Sara has transformed both our kitchen and lounge. With a space we had found difficult to work with, she has managed to combine family living with style and comfort. She has been fantastic to work with and has made the process stress free and easy, with a fantastic team working with her what more could you ask for. I couldn’t recommend Sara enough and her skills are second to none.

We have just completed yet another stunning project for Sara Slade Interiors. Sara's eye for colour, textiles and furnishings is just phenomenal and we're always left in awe on just how creative her designs are and the changes they bring to each room. For this particular project Sara made some clever changes to the lighting and her choice of lighting fixtures and the effect they had was just exquisite. Sara and her team are a delight to work for and have the professionalism and dedication to see that every project runs smoothly from start to finish.

I moved into a newly developed flat practically without any furniture. Sara did a great job in providing a plan from start to finish. While some suggestions seemed too expensive, outlandish or not to my taste to begin with, in then end I came to realise that Sara was 100% correct in all her advice. She was also very receptive to my budget and suggested items at varying price points, so that I could spend more money on items that I felt strongly about. I felt like a valued customer and that my tastes and opinions where heard and respected, while also challenged appropriately.

Sara and her team provided an excellent service, most recently for my sons bedroom. They helped to transform an idea to reality and both my son and I were extremely pleased with the outcome!

Comment from Sara Slade Interiors:

Thank you Lottie, we had so much fun designing the room! So pleased he loves it!

Tom Gaskell

We invited Sara to come and advise us about re-decorating some rooms in the house. She quickly and astutely identified a number of fundamental problems in the way we had previously done it; things we knew didn't work, but didn't know why. She explained the problems and what we could do to fix them and came up with practical approaches to improving the décor and making the house ‘work better’ for us. We had some embryonic ideas about re-modelling the kitchen and dining room and Sara confirmed that our concept was a good one, helped us to firm these ideas up, gave us practical guidance and help, worked with our kitchen installers and ourselves to choose colour schemes, finishes, floor and wall finishes and designed the lighting. Then, when it was all done, Sara helped us with the final finishing touches. In many areas Sara would suggest something and our reaction would be "we would never have thought of that, but it's a great idea!" - Sara provided real added value. Having Sara advising and guiding through the process was a great reassurance; her judgement and design skills were spot-on and she made all the difference to the quality and effectiveness of the end result.

Comment from Sara Slade Interiors:

Thank you for the lovely review Tom. It is always a pleasure working with you on your home, it is a huge transformation and we are so pleased you trusted us with making such huge decisions. The end result speaks for itself!!

lisa_dean5

Sara was really helpful and made decisions for us which I think we would of got wrong. Sara sourced some amazing furniture, carpets and curtains. We have had so many compliments! She chose some great paints from paint companies I hadn't even heard of. We are really greatful for Sara's input on making our dream home come true.

Comment from Sara Slade Interiors:

Thanks so much Lisa, it was a great pleasure to work with you both on such an amazing property. I can't wait to see the finished result!!

Vicky Field

We moved to a modern house on the outskirts of Cambridge 3 years ago and wanted to change the original lighting scheme in certain areas of the house. We required better task lighting on the stairs and in the kitchen but quite a different look for the dining area. It did require a complete refit of the lighting in these areas but the result has made a huge difference in usability and mood. Following this we redecorated the main areas and Sara managed to incorporate our 'old' with her 'new' really well and we are thrilled with the result. Sara was professional and fun to work with, she had a complete grasp of the problem and how to rectify it and her recommendation of electrician and decorator were excellent. I look forward working with her again on future projects.

WOW ! That is generally the word most people use when they walk into my kitchen and orangery. I asked Sara to help me design an integrated kitchen, dining and sitting area - a large space that I wanted to have divided into different functioning zones but that flowed together. The result is smart and stylish, contemporary but timeless. Sara is great to work with she is not pretentious or luvvy, she is relaxed, friendly and genuinely cares about her work and her clients' needs. Sara will give you time, attention and respect, she is fastidious about details and will project manage everything for you if required. Even when she had finished my job she was still willing to come to me to advise on a floor tile choice, she is very generous with her time. She will listen to your requirements and respect them . At the same time she will gently nudge you out of your comfort zone and encourage you to try something new. "How much ?!!" was a phrase I often used at some of Sara's suggestions, she would listen, understand my reservations, never pushed me to bust my budget but assured me I would be pleased with the money I'd spent. I have not regretted one penny and still get so much joy and pleasure from the choices I made. I wanted the WOW factor and thanks to Sara, I have it. Trust her and you will be delighted with the end result !

Sara was approachable and easy to work with and was happy for us to commission as much or as little as we wanted from design and samples through to full project management. We opted for the former and she encouraged us to be bold and brave. We were and are delghted with the results! Sara listened to us and translated what we were hoping for into reality.

Sara has come up with interior design concepts for several of the rooms in our house over the last ten years. Most recently she has produced a beautiful concept to revolutionise our existing family living space, incorporating a bespoke mirror backed shelving scheme, lighting, furniture and soft furnishings. Sara is so incredibly talented at what she does, she knows exactly what is right for our home, and for us as a family - we could not be more delighted with the work that she has done for us, and will continue to use her in the future. I would certainly recommend Sara Slade for all your interior design needs.

I have known Sara for 12 years. During this time she has added so much value to the many projects we've undertaken - no project is too small for her involvement. She has an ability to listen and then interpret ideas into a reality with an even more of a WOW factor than we could have dreamed of. She provides a full comprehensive service from visiting the site, providing detailed quotes, sourcing samples and if required deals with any snags quickly and efficiently. It's a seamless quality service and I’m so thankful that I found her!

Sara Slade has worked on different facets of the interior of our house on several occasions in recent years, and every time she has made things better; more stylish, more elegant, and a better fit with the overall shape and design of the house. Sara has advised on carpets, floorings and soft furnishings, on sofas, chairs and other pieces of domestic furniture, and on a full-scale domestic office fit-out. We have always found Sara helpful, friendly and highly professional, and her recommendations of appropriate related suppliers have likewise been very reliable. In short, she is a pleasure to deal with.
