Shanade McAllister-Fisher Design

My 1 bed flat needed a refresh, and SMF London delivered a relaxing and contemporary space that transformed my property immediately as a sanctuary that both my partner and I love. SMF's communication throughout the design stage ensured that we were happy with all of our choices once they came to fruition and SMF handled the whole project management to an exemplary standard.

My 3 bedroom flat was severely dated and stuck in a time warp. Shanade’s team revived it beyond my expectations. She managed to drag it into the 21stcentury while being sensitive to some of its beautiful period features. The result is like living in a boutique hotel. So so so happy and thank you for my lovely new home.

Shanade helped us design our new bathroom, she is a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended. We are looking forward to working with her again next year.

Shanade did a great job. She had excellent ideas to add several pieces of art and furnishings to my loft style apartment (a school conversion). In particular, she chose an excellent large piece of art for the main room. She then oversaw the delivery and installation to a high standard. Highly recommended!

Shanade was an absolute dream to work with while redesigning our entire 5 bedroom London townhouse. She carefully crafted the most incredible eye catching spaces using unique and innovative design solutions. If you need an interior designer then I could not recommend SMF London more.

Shanade has designed us a wonderful home. She has been kind right from the start and was flexible and worked with us to achieve what we wanted. She was always encouraging and positive and definitely has a good eye. She strikes the right balance between client requirements and maintaining her own style. If you are looking for something different, some personality style and quirk then Shanade is the right person for you!

After buying my flat I had several false starts at redecoration, the challenges ranging from making time in a hectic schedule to devote to the task to indecision on what the finished look should be and what pieces would help to achieve it. Looking back I only wish that I had engaged Shanade sooner, as she has been able to transform my living space in a short period of time, and I am so grateful for her vision and ideas. The process was extremely straightforward – Shanade encouraged me to think about a budget and any specific ideas of my own which then made for a very productive initial meeting onsite. Walking around the flat she was able to give advice on where more or less money should be spent and brainstormed a number of ideas on the spot for discussion, which ultimately made me feel comfortable that we were on the same page. This was evidenced in the presentation of the design, which reflected my brief perfectly. In the lead up to the installation Shanade would consult with me with options on some individual items, but for the most part was responsible for sourcing everything herself. I was comfortable with this in the knowledge that on completion, if there were specific items that I just didn't like, she could swap or replace them. Again in retrospect I am so pleased I put my faith in her, as a number of items which I probably would never have chosen in isolation have ended up being my favourite pieces in the context of the finished design. On completion I only changed over one item, and this was taken care of very swiftly. Overall I am very satisfied with the end result, and would recommend Shanade’s services to anyone looking for some assistance and fresh ideas in transforming their home. A big thank you to Shanade for giving me an incredibly beautiful space that has far exceeded my expectations.
