Space Planning Professionals in Templecombe, Somerset

“Having been used to furnishing period properties, I suspected I would be in trouble when I purchased a large, square-roomed flat with no intrinsic features to guide me. Fortunately I found Lisa who, over a period of several months, has delivered a home that is both stylish and comfortable. She is very professional and needed to be extremely patient, since I knew what I didn’t want rather than what I did. After an initial meeting on site she produced mood-boards that were subsequently added to and subtracted from. Having sourced pieces that she felt would work Lisa accompanied me on two days of pre-arranged meetings with suppliers, her presence being invaluable in keeping me focused. She ordered items once decided upon and arranged for their delivery, which sometimes required time-consuming input on her part since I am absent from the UK for periods of time. Lisa has great ideas, is a delight to work with and really cares about what she does. In short, I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, talented and pro-active interior designer.”

“As an overseas client looking to renovate our period property in Bath from a distance, PiD were invaluable in helping us achieve the home we have always dreamt of. Barbara acted as our eyes and ears on the ground, bringing a ready made team of skilled and reliable tradespeople to the table saving us the headache of trying to source them ourselves. The work carried out included replacing the roof, installing new wiring, upgrading the plumbing, designing and fitting a new master bathroom and kitchen, and converting the cellars into liveable space, along with complete redecoration - everything from paint colours to carpets and curtains. PiD also carried out a refurbishment of our two bedroom cottage, adjacent to the house - which again included a new bathroom and kitchen and complete redecoration. We are absolutely delighted with the end results, which is due in no small part to Barbara's ability to meet and indeed exceed the expectations of a sometimes highly demanding client!”

“Kirsty and Elke were really great to work with. They listened to what I wanted and stuck to my budget. I loved the way they came up with creative ideas I wouldn't have thought of and it all really worked. The end result was so much better than I was expecting. I love my living room now. Everyone admires it and I just find it so calm to sit in and read a book. I never thought I was someone who would hire a professional designer, but I just couldn't make up my mind about colours and curtains and now I'm a complete convert. In fact, I'm thinking of hiring them to do the rest of the house!”

“From start to finish, Chloe was amazing to work with! I felt like she really listened to what I wanted and understood the vision (even though I wasn’t even sure what I wanted). Chloe sent through lists and links to items to furnish the space and worked to strict budget. I was surprised how far she was able to make it stretch and how good value for money everything was. I kind of assumed that recommendations would be costly but that wasn’t the case at all! Also, Chloe is so lovely and easy to talk to too which made the whole process even nicer. I can’t recommend working with her enough and will definitely get her help on the next room we do!”

“Gemma from Balance Interior Design has been wonderful at transforming spaces within our home. She has a calm, approachable manner and strives to create aesthetic and functional perfection, suited to her client. She worked with us on providing different options to suit our budget and needs, with lots of different recommendations on suppliers and materials, and worked with us throughout the whole process.”

“Had a fantastic experience working with Nina the last 5 months on a renovation project in central Bath. Nina did the initial concept for the whole project (90 sqm 2 bedrooms split level flat), paint colour consultation, sourced carpets, blinds, tiles, furniture and decorations. We also had a professional photoshoot which Nina acted as stylist for the day. Not only is Nina extremely knowledgeable, she also understands our requirements very well, she's conscious of our budget, and tries to add value where it created most impact. I'm sure we saved £££ due to her great furniture sourcing skills. She's also a lovely person, very approachable and friendly. It was honestly a pleasure to work with her. I'd recommend her to family and friends and will definitely work with her again.”

“Beverley managed a major renovation of our semi-detached cottage in Poole and I thoroughly recommend her as a dedicated and professional project manager. Beverley picked up the first phase of the work for me once I had already done the design and appointed some contractors and so I was extremely grateful to her for her flexibility as I handed over the reins through autumn 2020. As the project gathered pace Beverley took up a huge amount of work that would otherwise have fallen to my wife and I. We have three young kids and both work full time, so it is no exaggeration to say that our project would have quickly failed without Beverley being able to keep contractors on track, liaise between trades to manage dependencies (a massive job) and set quality standards and track snags. As 2021 arrived we started home schooling, continued full time working and needed to get our renovation over the line. Not only did Beverley make sure the initial work to entirely re-landscape our garden was completed to time and standard, but she also planned our phase 2 interior renovation and delivered this to the exact budget and schedule, working around the narrow period when we could vacate the top floor of our house. The results for our living space and for our family are fantastic and simply wouldn’t have been achieved without Beverley’s tireless work on our behalf.”

“Many thanks to Annie , whose knowledge and vision helped us enormously with the design for our extension. She understood exactly what we were trying to achieve. We found it very difficult to visualise the final layout, but Annie’s ideas were excellent, and her skill in a visualisation so we could actually ‘see’ the final outcome, provided us with exactly what we needed. It gave us a focus and an idea of where we were going. Planning an extension and modifying an existing layout is not for everyone; it is very easy to get it wrong, and end up having to modify a poor start! I would recommend Annie without hesitation to anyone thinking about any sort of interior design or architectural or structural changes to their house. Thank you so much Annie!”

“Georgie helped us design a beautifully smart shower room out of what was our airing cupboard. She was easy to work with and ‘got’ my ideas, presenting design suggestions and fixtures that perfectly suited the space. No problem was insurmountable and we are delighted with the end result. I would highly recommend Georgie to anyone planning to make changes in their home.”

“We have worked with Elaine for many years on various projects from contemporary apartments to detached family homes and she is a joy to work with. Elaine understands our needs and works with our budget to create a finished product that is always very well received. So much so that a number of our purchasers have asked to buy the furniture and accessories in the property. Elaine is an excellent communicator, she will happily liaise with our suppliers and purchasers to design a home that is both functional and personal to them. I have no hesitation in recommending Elaine for your future projects.”
