Lighting designers in Reading, Berkshire

“Caroline & the team are incredible to work with. They gave us so many fantastic and creative ideas we would never have thought of, but also gave us more confidence in our decision making with them. The designs were brilliant and the final project was beautiful and we would recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“WOW! Was the message I sent Philippa when we opened the door to our home. We approached Philippa again after she designed our kitchen a few years ago, to renovate and refurbish our period property home as we hadn’t done anything to it since we moved in 11 years ago and there were rooms we didn’t even use. We both have very busy lives and trusted Philippa and her team to be professional, helpful and easy to work with. Having all the designs and items they had chosen for us on their online dashboard really helped with decision-making and transparency with costings. Their suggestions for moving my tiny office in the top attic to the living room was genius as I now have a stunning library and sofa to watch the sports and movies in my study and moving the living room into the drawing room so it overlooks the garden rather than the drive, was equally transformative. By closing doors and adding new ones the house now feels cohesive, cosy and welcoming and rooms flow naturally from one to another. They identified pieces of art that we really loved and used these as their starting point for our colours and designs – and what they created is a magic blend that incorporates our art, our rugs, and reflects our lives here in the UK and abroad. They have somehow woven it all into a beautiful interior that has quite simply breathed new life into our Victorian home and has given us more than we ever hoped for. As part of their installation and styling service - they not only unpacked seven container boxes for us but even went the extra mile taking time to frame a family tree, colour co-ordinate books in the library and adding flowers for our arrival back home. We’d never have got this result ourselves – they more than exceeded our brief – our home looks amazing, and we love it. Highly recommended!”

“My wife and I looked at many kitchen manufacturers / retailers from mainstream to independent, and it was amazing the varying levels of customer service (good and bad) and sales techniques we experienced. With a kitchen being a major investment, we wanted to find the right retailer. Then we met Simon and Rubina at Zara Kitchens, who are firstly, very nice people, they listened to our requirements, were very patient with us due to the never ending design changes, endless questions and even switching of kitchen manufacturers half way through the process. I lost count how many different quotes we ended up with, until we were both happy and able to proceed. We had a couple of supply issues, Simon dealt with these with no hesitation, you could tell providing excellent customer service is what Zara Kitchen Design strives for. I would not hesitate to recommend Zara Kitchens to anyone looking to purchase a new kitchen, customer service is great and the installation process is the best I've ever experienced (Matt was just exemplary in his approach to installation). Overall, a very happy customer!”
