Highly recommend Lisa from The Open Plan who helped us design a loft conversion, TV den, and bathroom refit. Lisa is a delightful person to work with and has a great eye for detail. She presented moodboards and products that were sensitive to our taste and budget. She also introduced us to lots of brands we would never have discovered ourselves. We're so happy with the new spaces, the schemes look much more lux and coherent than we would have managed ourselves!

Lisa from The Open Plan was so good to work with. I wanted to turn the empty space at the back of my living room into a family dining area with storage for toys and a desk. Lisa very quickly came back with a practical and workable design that we pretty much went with. She gave us different options for materials so that we could pick a budget that suited us. She also suggested a few carpenters, one of whom (Toby, excellent!) we hired. Lisa checked on us during the build and spoke to Toby to make sure things were right. As a result we have a beautiful new room that we use every day. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and would happily hire her again.

I was unable to make a decision and was drowning in my own ideas and lack of vision. Lisa’s help was invaluable. Her fresh concepts made a real difference and enabled me to select what would work - and more importantly - see what wouldn’t. I’ll defiantly get her back for the next phase of interior work.

I highly recommend Lisa at The Open Plan, she was really friendly and professional when at the office. We worked with her to design our office space and she came up with really good ideas that incorporated our identity as well as making the most out of our space!

I would highly recommend Lisa at The Open Plan. She spent a lot of time working with us over a few sessions to understand our hopes for our house, our style, the practicalities and our budget, and she worked her magic to bring all of that together into a coherent plan, with choices for us. She "got" us and what we wanted, and we feel really confident that using her ideas and tips, our house is going to look so much better. She is also a delight to work with!

We worked with Lisa for a colour consultation and cannot recommend her enough. We were really stuck to find colours that would flow between the different rooms and the hallway and lost inside the Farrow&Ball 'marketing vortex'. Lisa came around for 1.5 hours to see our rooms, assess the light and listen to our ideas. We felt a great connection and she was genuinely interested in getting to know our personal style. Her enthusiasm and professional opinion really got us going again. The final report lists creative options for a concept that flows throughout the house, including details on suggested finishes/tones. Lisa is super friendly and personable, she gave great practical tipps and hints and patiently fielded our numerous follow-up questions. Her fees are very reasonable given her vast experience and we cannot recommend her enough.

I worked with Lisa on the design of a new kitchen. She was really helpful in turning a high level vision into a real life project. In particular, her input on colour schemes and details (eg cabinet knobs, integrated wine rack...etc) really added value to the project. I also enjoyed the brainstorming sessions. She is a great listener and very easy to work with.

I have collaborated with Lisa of The Open Plan on a number of projects since we met in 2010. She is a creative and original interior designer. The creativity and resourcefulness you find in Lisa is a rare mix and results in exciting, original interiors and happy contented clients. The ideas and concepts she brings to a project meet and push the client brief and her endless energy helps to drive design and build projects through to the finish line. I love working with Lisa and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

The Open Plan did a full design plan for our bedroom. The mood boards and layout plans were clear and concise so we fully understood her intentions and absolutely loved the design. We didn't need or want to change anything and our bedroom now looks Chic with an element of fun which was exactly what we wanted. Would recommend highly. Excellent, professional and friendly service.
