Lighting designers in Portsmouth, Hampshire

“Dream garden We had an idea what our garden should look like. However we realised that a new garden is much more than just choosing plants and hard materials. We wanted a complete makeover, from back door to back gate, every part of our long narrow garden to be thought of. We found Simon online when searching for a designer, we liked his approach on paper, his previous work and his very friendly yet professional attitude. We met in person, he drafted a plan and we signed up. We trusted him completely. We had a few zoom calls. Our whole family was involved in building the most suitable design. Simon noted all of our wishes and presented us with great drawings. We loved it all and went ahead. More detailed plans came through later as well as recommendations for landscaping companies to choose from to make the design a reality. It took approximately 10 months from the search for our garden designer to the project being completed, including Christmas, extremely wet weather, holidays. Simon designed our garden according to our needs, wishes and more. Of course he added elements I wouldn’t think of. We had a budget, however the budget grew a bit. I just wanted more and didn’t want to compromise on the hard landscaping materials. Having said that Simon helped us save money in areas where compromises were ok to be made eg choosing fences or a different gravel company. We left one element of Simon’s design out due to budget but it didn’t compromise on the final look of our garden and if we wish, it can be added in a couple of years time. Our landscapers received detailed plans, Simon was also available for phone calls throughout the process. They loved working on this project with him. When the plants arrived I got very excited. Simon listened to my wishes to include favourites and most of our existing plants. We call her our own Chelsea garden, fragrant, colour pleasing, dog and teenager friendly, birds and pollinators welcome, manageable to up keep, no lawn but still so green and lively. Thank you so much for making our first home complete.”

“Having struggled with decorating decisions and feeling totally overwhelmed in our new home, I was lucky to find Amy online. From her social media posts and client reviews I decided to book a Hire a designer for a day. It was the best choice I made and Amy's expertise and ideas were extremely helpful. It was great to see a variety of paint colours and pair them with the many gorgeous fabric swatches in her kit and be guided by Amy. It helped in so many ways, from furniture placement, lighting, artwork to colour schemes. We incorporated existing furniture but Amy also recommended other pieces and sent with links to different options and budgets. After our meeting the presentation notes were sent very quickly and were clear, concise and exciting to see, especially the mood boards. Since our meeting we have gone on to paint two rooms and have bought/ordered some of the items that were suggested. We are taking our time to complete the whole project but having had Amy's help and input I feel much more confident in the decisions that we are making and can't wait to get it finished. I would highly recommend her services and would not hesitate to use her again in the future.”
