Studio Milne

We have been working with Ruth for a couple of years on our house refurbishment and we cannot praise her and her work high enough! Ruth not only worked on the design phase but also helped us supervising the work with the builders and contractors. We are so grateful for the fantastic collaboration and absolutely delighted with the result. Ruth understood really well our aesthetic from the get go and where we wanted to go with the space. Every space she worked on now looks absolutely beautiful, so much more functional and nice to live in. From a customer service perspective, the whole experience working Ruth was seamless, inspiring and fun. We were pretty slow to respond at the beginning and she was patient and gave us the time we needed. Yet when we were ready and eager to get going she was very generous with her time, always answering our many messages and jumping into many hoops every time we had idea. We also really appreciated her professionalism, accountability and her stepping up to handle issues with contractors the few times it was needed. If you need a 5 star interior designer that’s equally passionate, talented and lovely, don’t look any further!

Ruth was professional and helpful, and had some great ideas during the consultation.

Ruth was fantastic at giving us great advice and recommendations for various rooms in our house. She has an incredible eye for colour and light as well as exceptional practical advice on making the most of spaces. I loved working with her and hope to do more in the future and we are excited to implement her designs in our home.

We loved working with Ruth to renovate our property and can’t stop marvelling at the wonderful bathroom she has designed for us! Throughout the process Ruth has been personable, flexible and understanding of our needs and specifications and she has thought of all the smallest details with care and passion. We now have a beautiful, functional home that truly speaks to our family and we cannot wait to get Ruth’s opinion and assistance on the next little projects we have! I recommend Studio Milne to anyone considering a renovation, knowing that Ruth will be able to create a space perfectly suited to your needs!

Ruth helped us with our kitchen and downstairs floor plan design. Ruth was excellent and incredibly helpful - she went into more detail and provided more help than we were expecting. I will certainly use Ruth again! Highly recommend Ruth for any projects

Ruth was wonderful to work with. Undertaking a full flat renovation felt like a daunting task, but Ruth guided me through with patience and understanding. She tackled challenging spaces and created clever design solutions, transforming unusable space into beautiful, thoughtful and functional storage. Her team of tradsmen, contractors and joiners were brilliant, I'm still impressed by the quality and standard of their craftmenship a year on. I cannot recommend her services enough - Thank you Ruth!

A marvelous result in a difficult small space. A whole house refurbishment including new stairs, kitchen, bathroom, joinery, floors - the works. Ruth a pleasure to work with. Healthy joint inputs into design. Lots of useful supplier contacts - including a main contractor who was an ideal pick for the job.

Studio Milne, particularly Ruth, did an excellent job for us. She understood our style right from the start - her initial mood boards were spot on. She’s like a mind reader! The New York-style bathroom and adult bedroom with clever storage solutions are just what we wanted. Ruth's attention to detail in the finishes is great, creating a stylish and inviting space. Everything from the choice of wallpaper to the giant upholstered head board ooze style and comfort. Ruth’s a brilliant collaborator. What's impressive is how she tackled the unique challenges of the space like low ceilings in the bathroom and awkward angles in the bedroom with ideas we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. Plus, she captured the ambiance we wanted perfectly – an adult escape from family life. Overall, it's been a fantastic experience with Studio Milne and Ruth.

We were so happy that we worked with Studio Milne for the design of our kitchen extension. Ruth was fantastic throughout, giving us amazing ideas for how to use the space, responsive to our suggestions, and flexible when the building work required a change to the designs. She had a beautiful eye for the design and was excellent in finding decor to complement the look, so we are so happy with our beautiful kitchen and it is a pleasure to spend time there. Thanks so much, highly recommend!!

Working with Studio Milne was the best decision! We moved into an eco-home with wood walls and unconventional materials throughout so decorating was not straightforward! Being local to Walthamstow we were familiar with Studio Milne's commercial work and didn't bother to look elsewhere. Ruth was very flexible and offered a 2h consultation service before we committed to a full project - which was great to get to know each other, brainstorm ideas and scope the project together! Once we decided to go for a more involved project, some of the great things about working with Ruth were her creative ideas, experience, great taste, responsiveness and contact with excellent professionals to bring the project to life! Ruth would even come by during the works to ensure everything was going smoothly and discuss any tweaks needed. Ruth was super friendly and I always got the feeling she enjoyed the work and was as excited as we were about the project! I'd definitely want to work with Studio Milne again on a future project (renovation down the line perhaps?!). Thanks, Ruth!

We booked Ruth for a two hour consultation to help us work through our ideas for our kitchen renovation and it was so helpful. Ruth was able to talk through our ideas and provide ideas for bringing it all together, including suppliers, finishing touches and colour schemes. She was great to work with and has great style, we will be using her again as the work progresses. Highly recommend.

Ruth helped us with our kitchen extension and she was fabulous. Her expert guidance and exquisite taste allowed us to have the dream house we always wanted but could never do by ourselves. She came up with solutions and practical suggestions to tricky layout issues and always remained calm and cheerful. I never felt my concerns, questions or ideas would be rebuked. She is a joy to work with and I’m so happy we managed to get her in before her amazing talent gets discovered and she becomes a celebrity designer!! Our house is now the envy of all our friends and neighbours. Love it and love her!!
