Design Consultation Professionals in Shaldon, Devon

“I live in a modest house, and two years after my partner died, I felt ready for a change. I wanted to fall in love with my home again and create what I hoped would be my forever home. I wasn’t quite sure where to begin, but then I had a bit of a eureka moment — perhaps thinking slightly outside the box — and decided to look for an interior designer. When I came across Sophie Louisa Interior Designers’ website and met Sophie for the first time, I immediately knew I didn’t need to look any further. Sophie is wonderfully suited to her profession. She has an exceptional eye for design and is completely on her clients’ side. She searches for the best options and sales, visits shops with you, and carefully considers every detail — from fabrics, furniture and paint colours to rugs, plants and pots. She gently encouraged me (and my home) out of our comfort zone, and I truly love the result. Visitors often comment on how peaceful the house feels, which is exactly what I had hoped for. Her dedicated team worked in my home for several weeks. They were a lovely group of people — respectful, considerate, and always pleasant to greet each morning. It was clear they had great respect for Sophie and that they worked together as a united team. As project manager, Sophie visited several times each week and was always available at the end of the phone, which was very reassuring. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sophie and her team. If, like me, you might wonder whether it feels a little extravagant to hire an interior designer for a modest home — but you’re longing for change and inspiration — I would say, do it. “A beautiful home is not measured by its size, but by the love and peace that live within it.””

“Thoroughly enjoyed working with Sara on this project. She listened to what the client wanted and knew how to ease them into stepping outside of their comfort zone. Project managed all aspects of the redesign/build firmly ensuring that deadlines were met. The finished article was amazing and definitely met the clients desired outcome. 6 months on it still looks fresh!”

“I'm very happy to recommend Caroline and the rest of the team at Ashton House Design. They helped me fully refurbish a 3-bedroom house. The house is used partly as a holiday let & at other times by me personally. Following a few meetings at the showroom & on site, the team came up with a great range of fabrics and furnishings for the house. These adhered really well to my brief and within budget. Caroline completely managed the installation. I have been thrilled with the result. The house has the 'stylish, relaxed, homely' feel I was hoping for. I really enjoy spending time in my home & have also received many compliments about the interior design from guests. I would certainly use the team again for future projects.”
