We have been extremely happy with the work Caroline has done for us over the last 9 months. We have used her to help with building design, interior design and project management. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with, reliable, hardworking and extremely responsive (even in recent months!). She listens carefully to what you think you want and need, and magics this into something wonderful and beautiful. She is very perceptive and we loved all of her designs, and pretty much got to the point where we knew that we would like what she had chosen. I have also been very impressed by her ability to work with different budget levels - from top spec to ‘we don’t want to spend much because it’s only temporary’. She has so many great ideas and reads her clients well. She took on the project management of two extremely tricky and stressful building projects happening concurrently - and has proved to be organised, determined and achieves results. She is a very good chaser! Caroline is an absolute professional, you can trust her completely and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We are beyond happy with the interiors of our completed project - it’s lovelier than we could have imagined. We have already enlisted Caroline to do the same thing with our big house project in a couple of years time. I don’t think I need to say any more....!

As a pair of accountants, we have for many years attempted to create the warm, lovely home scenes you see in the magazines, and whilst we knew what end result we aspired to, it was clear we didn't know how to get from a to b! This was the first time we teamed up with a professional and i can only say how pleased we are that we did. The end result delivered exactly what we wanted, we were blown away with the transformation of our living room. More importantly, Caroline listened to our brief closely, didn't force us in any direction and teased out of us the kind of result we were after, tailoring her approach accordingly. Budget was taken into consideration for the project and factored into the design. Where necessary she was very willing to give her professional opinion and steer us toward what ultimately is a fantastic result that we couldn't have achieved on our own in a million years. Im so pleased we decided to bring in a professional and i've already contacted Caroline to start work on further rooms in my house.

We were very pleased with the design and decoration support that we received. Our goal was to revamp the kitchen while keeping most of the existing fittings and, though not a very large project, the support we received was excellent throughout from the initial design proposals through to selection of new flooring, wall coverings and colour schemes. Very happy to recommend Willow Grey Interiors and would use them again in future should we need interior design assistance.

We approached Caroline after moving into our self-build house. At the end of the project we had 'decision fatigue' and couldn't focus on the interior much more than choosing the curtains and furniture. Caroline came round to see what we had done so far and we discussed what we liked/disliked etc. She worked with what we already had in place and seemed to 'get us' straight away. She also didn't have the pretentious attitude that we had experienced with interior designers in the past. Caroline provided us with great ideas and visuals and was always available to answer our questions. She never tried to push us down her favoured route and we could have honest and straightforward discussions without feeling intimidated at all. She persuaded us to be a little bolder with our colour choices etc and she was totally right. We are so happy with the finished result; from the wall colours to the rugs and all the extra pieces that 'dress' a room and finally make it feel complete. We would use Caroline again in a flash and recommend her to anyone who wants to work with a down to earth designer who knows what she's talking about!

I am related to this person, I admit it. However, she redesigned almost all my house and it's gorgeous, so why shouldn't I say so? Caroline listened to my brief regarding my design ideals, but took the project to a new level. Whenever I showed some reticence about a design choice, she was right. She has now completed 6 rooms, which are original, cohesive and luxurious. She puts colours together well, mixes traditional fabrics, with modern design twists, but is always practical. Her lighting ideas have made my home so smart and comfortable. She even commissioned some original artwork, showing scenes from my garden, at reasonable cost. She has a team of tradespeople who also work to a high standard. I'm fussy about detail and I wasn't disappointed. She hasn't kept me waiting for designs and gets on with it. If you need further recommendations or verification, just check out her website photos.

Caroline is fantastic and I would highly recommend her services. She helped transform our new home completely, moving the project on with drive, enthusiasm and efficiency. The interior she has created in our home is perfect for us and she really understood our needs and what we wanted. She has made beautiful curtains and cushions throughout the house. She has reframed precious pictures, she has enhanced things that we had and made them look better! The wonderful service I would also recommend was the room transformation where we left her to it for a few hours and the room was beautified with pictures hung, curtains in place and the accessories that make the interior really come together laid out. It was like walking into someone’s else’s house and I have loved it every day since. We couldn’t have wished for a better service and her she is very reliable and very easy to work with too.

Caroline is a joy to work with. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted to achieve with the room. She took my basic thoughts and enhanced them by bringing her fantastic eye for detail and design. We've ended up with a room that's not only stylish but supremely comfortable. All the boxes ticked! I'm completely over the moon with the sitting room!.. I'm very much looking forward to working with Caroline again on the next project

I knew I wanted (us!) to work with Cas as soon as I met her. She is warm and enthusiastic, and makes you feel very comfortable when you feel you cannot finish your own home! Cas has helped us transform a single story open plan extension into a useful and warm family home. Cas listens to you, understands your tastes and challenges you to the point you are comfortable. I would highly recommend Cas and even thinking about getting her to help with upstairs!

Caroline is a pleasure to work with and very willing to go to whatever lengths to find interior solutions. She is happy to make suggestions but also a great listener who gave me the confidence to move forward with a few 'stalled' jobs. Flexible re budgets and reasonably priced . Definitely worth having a chat with her if you are in need of design help!

Caroline has transformed our house from an underwhelming magnolia haven into something rather special. We decided to embark upon a transformation project and chose Willow Grey Interiors based on a word of mouth recommendation and subsequent reviews on Houzz. Upon Caroline's first visit, it was clear that she was visualising what was possible with the spaces that we had to play with. A couple of weeks later, we had the 3D plans, lots of pictures of related items to assess and plenty of paint/fabric samples. It was a smooth and professional introduction to the process. Fast forward a few months and we have worked with and enjoyed the company/services of many professional and reliable trades people who were recommended but never imposed. The result is a home which builds on our individual characters, adds colour, warmth and humour to our standard of living, and raises the standard of the environment in which we live. Deadlines have been met and we maintained budgets against our expectations. It has been a lot of fun! I trust that someone reading this review may choose Caroline and enjoy the same level of service that we have received. Steve

Cas has just finished a complete overhaul of our living room and play room and we are absolutely delighted with the results. With two young sons and a hectic life we were keen to redecorate and refurnish the rooms but struggled with time and inspiration. Cas took all of the hassle out of the process pulling together mood boards, 100s of fabrics, some fantastic furniture options and quotes from numerous trades people. Once we had decided on our route she coordinated the whole project, timing the arrival and departure of painters, carpenters and carpet layers with great aplomb and then arriving with several car loads of beautiful handmade cushions, blinds and curtains and an impressive array of lamps, pictures, mirrors and other chattels to dress the room and bring it all together. Cas quickly grasped what we were looking for (which is a miracle as we didn’t really know!) so we gave her a great deal of latitude to make decisions on our behalf. The result is two rooms which are unique and perfect for our family. Thank you very much. Chris, Sarah, Felix and Toby

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It was such a pleasure working with you all, even if Felix did hide everytime I arrived!
It was brilliant having such scope to play with and you were both excellent at going with it, which was such fun for me!!
I can’t wait to work with you again, Cas

Caroline is extremely creative and enabled us to create our dream kitchen. From the start, she was skilled at taking our ideas and likes to create a functional, child-friendly family kitchen/diner with no compromise on style. She gently pushed our style choices by showing us alternatives that we didn’t even know existed! We adore the space that she has created and would recommend her to everyone! Sometimes it’s the little touches that make the most impact; the complimentary colours, the well placed plug socket for the baby monitor, the impact of light from all of the angles and of course a vase of beautiful flowers!! (Cost for whole project including building work and kitchen)

We were recommended to Willow Grey Interiors by a friend. What appealed to us was how creative Caroline was and that she made one of a kind furniture and upholstery. From the start we knew that we hade made the right decision and that we were in safe hands. Caroline listened to our long list of likes and even longer list of dislikes and did what you hope that every interior designer would do. She came up with something not only mind blowing and beautiful but something we could never have thought of ourselves. Do not be put off by fear of cost as we found Willow Grey Interiors be excellent at working to a budget and extremely good value for money. You certainly get what you pay for. I would not hesitate to recommend. Picture attached shows living room before completion - Footstall and rug to follow

I was recommended to Cas, she did not disappoint! I needed 4 x cushion covers made up from some lovely fabric I had ordered. Cas was super quick to respond, extremely approachable and friendly, she was in my area the following day and even offered to collect the fabric! Within a matter of days the cushion covers were finished at a very reasonable cost. I couldn’t have asked for more, she’s clearly ver talented, the cushions are fabulous! Thank you Cas x

Right from our first meeting, it was clear that Caroline is great at what she does. She really took the time to get to know me and my husband and to understand exactly what we were looking for in our home. Neither of us are creative at all so relied heavily on Caroline for ideas and she was very patient and helpful throughout the project. She designed our en suite and master bedroom, made cushions and Roman blinds for the bedroom, chose all the accessories, liaised with the Bathroom company during installation, and made sure we were happy at every stage of the project. We are delighted with the end result and can’t wait for Caroline to work her magic on the rest of our home! We cannot recommend her highly enough. She is reliable, hardworking and extremely talented.

Caroline has been fantastic with our living room project from the start to finish. We first contacted Willow Grey about our project at the start of 2017. Caroline seemed to know exactly what we wanted from the outset and presented us with a beautiful mood board and furniture plan. We were very impressed with Caroline's attention to detail, organisation, and professionalism. The arrival of out second baby in April meant we weren't moving forward with the project so we called Caroline again in August and asked her to manage the project for us. Within days we had tradespeople coming to quote and work had begin within a matter of weeks. Certainly a lot more efficient than we were capable of being at the time! The work is finally finished and we are delighted with the transformation. So much so that we have already requested assistance with our next design. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Willow Grey Interiors.

Helen and Darren, I really enjoyed this project - not only because you trusted me to project manage for you, but because it has been such a transformation!! You were really good to work with and it was lovely to get to know you even better :-)

Beccy Homer

Client

We would throughly recommend Caroline - in fact, we already have! Caroline offered a complete curtain making service, from helping us to chose the fabric, making the curtains and then she even put the poles up! I would never have chosen the fabric that I did, without her help and guidance. Our curtains are simply stunning! Caroline is now helping us with colours, flooring, lighting and furniture for our Kitchen/Diner extension. The great thing about Caroline is you can hire her to do as little or as much as you want. She is very friendly but also very professional and I'm sure she will continue to help us with projects in the future.

Comment from Willow Grey Interiors:

Thanks Beccy, that's so kind of you to say and really lovely to hear! You've been great to work with too - very open to new ideas and suggestions and willing to go out of your comfort zone! Thanks again :-)

Vanessa Cane

Relationship

Client

We were delighted with the service we received from Willow Grey Interiors. We hired Caroline to overhaul our living room and master bedroom. She helped us every step of the way, from choosing furniture, paint colours and accessories to designing bespoke furniture. She even painted our existing bedroom furniture to save us money - and the results looked brilliant! We didn’t feel pressurised at any point, and really felt like she took the time to understand what it was we wanted, while also stretching our ideas to give us two rooms with a wow factor. It was really helpful to just pay for what we wanted, rather than only having the option of one complete service, so we were able to spread the costs of the design and not spend silly money, which is what we thought we would do hiring an interior designer. Really happy with the service and would highly recommend!

30 May, 2017

Comment from Willow Grey Interiors:

Thanks you so much Vanessa! It was really good fun working with you and I'm so pleased you loved what I did!
I'm really pleased that you commented on the pricing structure - it's one of those difficulties with interior designers - there's a perception that hiring one must cost the earth but I'm trying to break down that barrier and offer options that are really affordable!
Thanks again Vanessa, Cas x

Caroline has been such a great inspiration to us with getting us to think carefully about what we want from our house interior! She has come up with a beautiful colour scheme and has great ideas and vision on how to throw some colour in too. Very professional and friendly with excellent customer service. With the added bonus that she can upholster cushions and blinds too and keen to upcycle existing items that we already have! Would highly recommend
