David Todman

We embarked on a major home renovation project this year. Both myself and my wife are very creatively minded but realise this doesn't necessarily translate to a functional, practical space on such a large project. So we asked Emma to help structure our thoughts, as well as share some of her many years' experience with space planning. She is also a mine of information when it comes to finding actual products and finishes to suit a particular aesthetic. It's sometimes hard to put a value on good design consultancy, as many of us fancy ourselves as amateur designers from watching the telly! But I can't emphasise enough how much knowledge and wisdom it takes to transform a space, from something you don't like, into a beautiful place you haven't seen yet. Emma was a very important part of that puzzle. I'd love to work with her again.

Comment from Bean Interiors:

David thank you so much for your lovely words! It was great to work with you again after all these these, but on a personal project this time. I can't wait to see the fully completed project.

We engaged Emmato design and deliver the complete interior of our facial aesthetics centre, starting from an empty shell. The result is a sophisticated, functional, and beautifully executed space that perfectly balances clinical requirements with an inviting atmosphere for our clients. Her design vision, meticulous attention to detail, and seamless project management ensured that every stage—from concept to completion—was handled with professionalism and excellence. Our changing plans and budget along the way was never a problem and Emma always had a solution! She is very communicative and responds quickly to questions, and was very hands-in with the entire project. We are proud of the outcome and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking outstanding interior design. Thank you, Emma!

Comment from Bean Interiors:

It was my absolute pleasure to be involved with this project, every step of the way! And I'm equally thrilled with the results. Sally, you and all the team at The Facial Aesthetics Centre deserve all your continued success!

Emma came highly recommended from a good friend and family members and she did not disappoint. We transformed an untidy, underused playroom into a calm, relaxing sitting room, a scruffy bedroom for grandchildren into a smart room that the children describe as “cool” and a master bedroom/ensuite bathroom into a luxurious area. Emma was with us every step of the way, helping to choose the right colours, furniture, tiles and work surfaces and liaising with the builders which took the pressure off. All in all a very successful refurbishment thank you Emma for all your hard work and help.

Comment from Bean Interiors:

Thank you so much Chris, your kind words are really appreciated, I'm just so thrilled it's all made such a difference for you all...including the grandchildren! It was an absolute joy to finally get to work with you...after sorting out the rest of the family and business! ;0)

Emma worked closely with us to redesign our kitchen. She was mindful of our lack of indecision and went the extra mile to ensure we were supported in making all the decisions that best suited us. She is very organised and the trades that she sourced were excellent. She has really high standards and that suited us and our expectations for the job. I absolutely love our new kitchen and without Emma we would have never got there!

Emma designed our kitchen extension interior and we are incredibly happy with the results. Emma nailed our colourful brief. As each piece of the project was installed, we couldn’t believe how well it all fitted together and we adore the new space. From suggesting a fitted shelving unit, to adding a painted vintage piece, out-there lighting (which we weren’t sure about on paper but works so well), the soft furnishing and furniture choices - it’s all come together to create a really cohesive space that we love spending time in. There’s no way we would have achieved this without Emma’s guidance and highly recommend working with her.

Emma was instrumental in project managing the total renovation of our new home, near Brighton, whilst we were still living in Hong Kong and, during a period afterwards, when we were between countries. Indeed, we even had a very long zoom call whilst on holiday in South America. From the moment of meeting Emma we were confident she would be able to create a design that met our requests and her team of builder, carpenter, interior designer etc. were all first class. Emma listened to our ideas and incorporated them into her planning. To a certain extent we gave her free range with aspects such as fabrics and lighting but she was always happy to change things if we asked her to. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend Emma for any interior design project.

Comment from Bean Interiors:

Thank you for your kind words Gail, it really was such a pleasure to be entrusted with every aspect of the renovation whilst you were away and to create a concept that captured your lives and experiences after living overseas for many years. It was wonderful to see it all again recently for the photoshoot too and seeing it all stand the test of time, especially with all the grandchildren! ;0)

Emma first helped us in 2016 when we did extensive work to our home, including a two storey extension and internal remodel. Emma's help and expertise was invaluable - she managed to capture exactly what we wanted aesthetically but on a more practical level her help made the whole process far less stressful. Rather than be overwhelmed by all the decisions, Emma streamlined the options, allowing us to quickly make choices, knowing that they would fit with the overall scheme. Emma also took the mantel with regard to project co-ordination - keeping in close contact with our architect and builders to make sure nothing was overlooked. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. So much so that when we decided to take on a smaller project this year, we once again turned to Emma for her help and guidance. We have just completed a new garden room and we are thrilled with the result. Emma nailed it again with the aesthetic we wanted and produced a fantastic conceptual package with layout plan, elevations and shopping list to achieve the interior inspiration. We are so happy with the result.

Comment from Bean Interiors:

Thank you for the great review Maddie and for inviting me back to work with you again this year! I can't wait to see the photos of the garden room, I hope all the family approve too!

Lucinda Lewis

We would highly recommend Emma. Collaborating with her on the redesign of our lounge and dining room was remarkably stress free. Emma took the time to understand what we wanted to achieve with the 2 rooms. Her mood boards helped us visualise how all the design elements came together and her ability to source materials and her network of skilled tradespeople made putting the vision into reality so much easier and was much appreciated. We now have two amazing transformed spaces which are a joy to live in.

Comment from Bean Interiors:

Thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to work closely with you both. I really enjoyed not only creating such an exciting concept to mark the new chapter in your lives, but also overseeing the joinery installation and it all come to life, along with your wonderful reactions. I'm delighted the transformation brings so much joy!

So I moved into a completely blank canvas new build flat…whilst I had some ideas, I tend to go a bit overboard and needed someone to pull together my ideas into a cohesive, functional space. One of my primary aims was integrating new tech with organic and calm materials & tones with the existing kitchen units whilst maximising the space. Emma came up with a mood board that represented everything I wanted and enabled me to be very targeted with my purchases. The dining table wrapped around the kitchen island was inspired!

Comment from Bean Interiors:

Thank you for your review Phil and it's great to see some of the rooms starting to take shape following the Concept presentation. I’m sorry to see I didn’t get a 5 star review, so I’d love to find out what I could have done better? Wishing you the best of luck with remaining installations!

Emma has worked with us on 2 projects. Initially she designed and sourced builders, materials and finishing touches for our total Art-Deco villa renovation. We now have a beautiful family space for a that respects the house’s heritage yet has all modern facilities. The most recent project was an annexe refurbishment with a study, gym and self-contained flat designed by Emma. She also project-managed the latter stages of the build. It. Is a beautiful space and our guests love it. Without her expertise and care, we would not have the beautiful living space that delights us every day. Emma brings more than just a practiced eye. Emma has taken time to know us and understand how we interact with our house on a practical and emotional level. We recommend her to others as we are confident of her professional skills and emotional intelligence.

Comment from Bean Interiors:

Thank you for your kind words and trusting in me. It's been an absolute joy to work with you both and on such a stunning example of Art Deco architecture, especially after admiring it from a far for all these years! Wonderful to see all those finishing touches coming together now too.

Tammy

Emma is absolutely wonderful; she is both professional and personable and we would not have been able to create our beautiful family home without her. She was appointed at the very beginning of our project and worked closely with our Architects and Builders prior to planning permission and we believe that this collaboration really helped all involved. We took on a massive renovation project whilst looking after two young children and both of us had no clue where to start but Emma took the time to get to know us as a couple and a family so she could understand what we wanted and needed from the spaces that we had. Her project management skills are exceptional, she is excellent at dealing with tradesman, is very organised and is very good at providing options and pros and cons to what she or others are recommending. Having Emma on board made our lives so much easier as we really did get decision fatigue as the project went on. Emma is a superstar; she clearly loves what she does and cares for her clients and we cannot recommend her enough. She is always on the end of the phone or email if you need her, such a lovely, thoughtful lady and an amazing interior designer!

Thank you for your lovely review. It's been an absolute pleasure to be so closely involved throughout the whole journey, from creating a concept that captures the very essence of your family and helping to deliver your beautiful forever home.

Helen Cox

The entire process with Emma was a great from the beginning scoping out ideas we had and asking Emma for a lot of help and suggestions to bring the vision to fruition. Emma's friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable, stylish and creative way has absolutely transformed our Kitchen dining and snug areas in our house into a design we would never have been able to put together ourselves. To say we thrilled is an understatement. We have gone from furniture we loved but moved into this house and didn't really know how to start to change it to a gorgeous dining room bringing in Walnut wood yet remaining contemporary, complete with bespoke cupboards, a bar area and banquet seating in plush velvet. When Emma returned with the mood board presentation folder with the before and after bringing it all to life, we were so happy and it had been so enjoyable with her to guide us. Her suggestions for seating, light fittings, handles, glass you name it was spot on and gave us the push to keep on track with the design and find pieces ourselves. I love sitting in the snug which now has a beautiful Walnut floor to ceiling around a window bookcase and shelving for records and turntable has given this area a snug/club feel. We cannot recommend using Emma Capron at Bean Interiors enough, she is absolutely amazing and we will be definitely using her to help us with other areas in our house.

I have worked with Emma on two projects and could not recommend her more highly. Emma takes time to really understand what you are looking for and get to know you. Most recently Emma helped me transform my bedroom from a cold, large room to a peaceful beautiful sanctuary. Emma sourced materials and furniture and put me in touch with fabulous trades to complete the transformation. The project was managed by Emma taking the stress off me. I am delighted with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Emma again .

Bean Interiors designed an existing small self contained space into an Airbnb. We were highly delighted with the results. Emma is an extremely talented designer, with great insight and understanding of our needs and requirements.

Emma worked on a revamp of our lounge. We worked together on a brief of what we wanted to achieve and Emma came back with fantastic ideas, mood boards and direction of where we could source fabrics, furnishings, introducing us to some fabulous suppliers. Emma is a pleasure to work with, making the project fun, presenting creative ideas with a professionalism and easy going manner. I would highly recommend her for project management and interior design.

Emma presented two designs for my dining room. One I feel in love with one of them straight away and I have received so many complements now it's finished, I'm very happy.

Robin Marlin

From the moment Emma started work on the Belton Road project she was able to talk through the functionality as well as the inspiration for the design. Emma is highly motivated and extremely well organised. The project management of the work ran smoothly and she was able to work to the budget set and bring in the work on time. The completed work has left 5 Belton Close as an extremely comfortable home combining style and tone with functionality. Emma gave excellent advice at all times and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

We used Emma after being recommended through a friend of ours, throughout a very costly refurbishment of our house I have to say that the best decision we made was to contract Emma’s expertise to help us with our family bathroom, master bedroom, en suite and wardrobe. Emma immediately noticed a mistake in the plans that enabled us to have a layout that suited us much better, she also paid great attention to what we liked and wanted, the result was a series of rooms that we absolutely love spending time in. Emma was very committed to the job, often going way beyond what was expected to ensure that we were happy with the end result, I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone else, it will be the best investment you make if you are looking to re-develop your whole house or just one or two rooms.

Emma visited us in our new home the week following completion and we spent time in every room attempting to describe the look and feel we were seeking. We set her the seemingly impossible challenge of coming up with design schemes for every room in just two weeks. The mood boards Emma created in such a short space of time are testament to her brilliant style and creativity but, above all, her ability to listen really carefully and deliver what we had asked for. The scope of Emma's ideas included wall finishes, colours, fabrics for all furnishings, carpentry, tiles, floorings, lighting, an attic conversion and new bathrooms. After an hour on the phone fine tuning colours and fabric Emma was able to deliver a fully specified mood board for each room together with fabric, wallpaper and paint specifications. We renovated and decorated the whole interior of the property in just 14 weeks and this was only possible because we had Emma's schemes to work with. Building and decorating costs were definitely kept to a minimum because all the decisions had been made in advance and the spirit of all trades involved remained high throughout because of this. I cannot recommend Emma highly enough - nothing is too much trouble for her and her cheerful, positive attitude will carry you through the process with confidence. Our beautiful home is much admired by everyone who visits, but the best reward is the pleasure we have every day in actually living in the finished rooms.
