Andrea Yorston Interior Design Ltd.

Working with Andrea was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Andrea brought a clear vision, impeccable style, and a true wow factor to our home. It was a large downstairs project, kitchen, dining area, bathroom and boot room in an old house which required Andrea to be responsive to unexpected eventualities - I feel Andrea really excelled in creating solutions to problems with thought, practicality and attention to detail. Andrea project managed our build and interior design with professionalism - liaising with multiple tradesman and suppliers which took the stress away from us - we felt in safe hands. Andrea listened to our needs and preferences and came up with ideas we had not thought of. Communication was seamless throughout — responsive, open, and proactive, which made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The end result exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out — our home is beautiful, functional, and feels like “us.” Highly recommend for anyone looking for a talented designer.

Andrea used her considerable knowledge of design, materials and local workers to facilitate the installation of a new kitchen in my bungalow. Space was limited but the design took note of that and I now have a lot more storage space. The colour is bright and cheerful and it is a pleasure to use the space as I move within the triangle of hob, fridge-freezer and oven, with the dishwasher easy to access. Andrea took time to discuss the options and brought plentiful samples of materials to show me and made useful suggestions when I struggled to choose colours and styles. Responses to queries were prompt, often followed up by visits to the house if we needed to discuss further. Communication by text and email was useful as it gave me a record of the information discussed, I didn’t have to make notes or rely on my memory for information and updates. Andrea was always professional, courteous, focused on achieving the best possible outcome in terms of style and design within my budget.

We live in Dubai and recently bought a new build property which was totally lacking in character or charm. Thankfully working with Andrea has allowed us to bring a taste of British Design and unique pieces into our home. We have sourced some fabulous furniture and soft furnishings and even have a few vintage pieces being added into the mix which will really create a Home unlike any other in Dubai. Communication from Dubai was never been an issue and we have been able to meet in person during trips to the UK to enjoy the process of selecting fabrics etc but this certainly wasn't required as Andrea was very efficient at sending swatches over to us. The entire process from beginning to end has been a real pleasure and we will definitely be working with Andrea again on projects in the future.

Andrea has been fantastic from the start to the finish of our project. From our first meeting where we discussed what we wanted to achieve, Andrea has helped us come up with a design that we love, helped us source the right products and then projected managed the works. We couldn’t have done it without her and are delighted with the results.

I had a power hour with Andrea. She asked me for photos and plans, for my preferences and style. She came prepared for our session with ideas, mood boards, photos to suggest ways forward for my design solutions. It was good to think about my room with her, both fun and inspiring. She made me stand back and look at it with fresh eyes.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the incredibly talented Andrea Yorston to transform my living room into a space that I could have only dreamed of! Let me start by saying that when I reached out to Andrea, I confessed that I didn't have a creative bone in my body but I do appreciate the finer things in life. From the first consultation to the final reveal, Andrea worked magic in turning my dream into a stunning reality. I was initially unsure about how to make my space not only beautiful but also pet-friendly, considering my two adorable and energetic girl springer spaniels. Andrea not only embraced the challenge but exceeded my expectations in creating a stylish yet functional haven for both me and my ‘girls’. Now, my living room is not just a showcase of elegance but also a cosy retreat for me, my son & my furry girls. Describing Andrea as a "Wonderful Woman" is just the tip of the iceberg. She is a design maestro, a visionary, a true professional and a really lovely lady. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, and her ability to translate my preferences into a cohesive and chic design left me speechless. Every element, from the colour palette to the furniture choices and soft furnishings, was carefully curated, resulting in a space that feels uniquely mine. If you're looking for someone who can effortlessly blend creativity with practicality, Andrea is your go-to designer. She not only has an impeccable sense of style but also an innate understanding of her clients' needs. Working with Andrea was an absolute delight, and I can't thank her enough for turning my living room into a masterpiece. In short, Andrea is not just a designer; she's a design genius, a visionary, and a true gem in the world of interior design. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to transform their space into something extraordinary. Thank you, Andrea, for making my home a place of joy, beauty, and comfort! #DesignMagic #InteriorDesignGenius #HappyClient

Andrea was fantastically supportive during our kitchen/dining renovation, which included creating a new utility room. We felt like we were in very good hands from the first meeting, where she helped us clarify how we wanted the new kitchen to feel like, what were must haves and nice to haves, and gave us lots of things to consider. Using a joint mood board, we were able to collaboratively get to a final design. Her contacts with an amazing local building company and kitchen suppliers made the whole thing far less stressful than we imagined. She kept us up to date with progress before the works started and was able to help resolve hiccups. We would highly recommend Andrea as an internal designer.

We got in touch with Andrea to help us understand how to turn our lounge into a zoned home office/lounge which would work for us. Andrea used her expertise to understand what we needed in detail and come up with a design which completely met our needs and exceeded our expectations. Andrea also sourced suppliers for us and worked closely with the contractors to project manage the build phase of the work - which took all the stress off us. Very happy with the suppliers and contractors we worked with, and the room looks fantastic. We cannot wait to move in and use day to day.

Andrea was friendly, professional and dedicated. She provided lots of ideas and happily took our feedback/suggestions into account when we wanted to change colours/products. We were given a great range of products/sources to choose from. Andrea had lots of contacts in many different areas, offering us choice and value. In addition to design, Andrea was a reliable and committed project manager, managing various suppliers/builders/contractors, which was invaluable.

If you are renovating your house, you need Andrea. She helps bring your vision to life as an interior decorator, always listening to your ideas and incorporating/improving them. Her skill to project manage everything was so invaluable. As we are both working full-time and raising a child, we did not have the time or the patience to chase all the contractors. Not only was she on top of everything, the contractors she chooses to work with were all exceptional.

My husband and I engaged Interior Squirrel to help us create a tranquil and tasteful master bedroom. Andrea worked with us to find a design that met both our (rather different) ideas, testing and refining options until we'd reached something we both loved. The completed room is perfect and we are extremely happy with the service and end results.

Andrea is a hard working professional and not an over bearing person who puts your thoughts and needs first And will always give you that extra mile.

We were having an extension to our house and we needed guidance regarding interior design which would bring old and new parts of the ground floor together. We think we have been very lucky to find and retain Andrea during this process and to be honest we don’t know what we would have done without her!. She has been a breath of fresh air after 8 months dealing with builders. It is not very easy to find a true professional these days but Andrea is one of them. She is extremely reliable and proactively helpful ( even when we faced a little crisis and she was on holiday...:)), always confirms what has been discussed and updates on the progress. She Is creative, knowledgeable and experienced and her service is second to none We still have an ongoing little project with Andrea and we will be very sad when all of this finishes. We will have to think about something else to bring her back to our little team of perfectos! We wish Andrea all the best in her business and if anybody is looking for help, as we were, don’t hesitate to contact Andrea. We are sure you won’t be disappointed. Ramune and Graham

I am so delighted that I found Andrea, she was quick and professional in her response, quickly delivered my project. Andrea managed to understand my taste and paint colours/furniture which Andrea picked are absolutely gorgeous, I am very happy with her service and highly recommend her.

Really enjoyed working with Andrea so far and can't wait to see what else we can do to complete our home project. Love the results so far. Very professional and knowledgable, and fantastic communication through each stage of the design process. We have been struggling with the design of our living room for ages, to the point where I was started to really dislike the room. Andrea suggested multiple options for the room in terms of colour, decor and layout using mood boards, which were very insightful and useful. We followed one of the changes to the rooms layout and can't believe the difference this has made, I no longer dislike the room and can't wait to finish the rest of the design. We have never used an interior designer before but extremely happy we did and would highly recommend @interiorsquirrel

We have, over the past year, renovated and extended an old Victorian, end of terrace house in South London. The property had a new floor built, (a loft conversion) and also a wrap around side return/infill kitchen. The brief to our architect and to Andrea was to open up the house and ensure our new home was light and airy. Andrea came highly recommended, having previously done work for a friend. She collaborated closely with us and the architect, providing clear visual mood boards throughout. She had an excellent understanding of products, internal finishes and textures which is bringing our new home to life. She listened to us carefully and worked with us and our ideas rather than imposing any views that she might have had. She was always on hand at the end of the phone/text/email. And latterly with lockdown she has been a whizz with different digital platforms and we have had quite a few virtual meetings and ‘tours’. Andrea has a great understanding of what products are out there and where to look and source things that you might need. She seems to have a lot of contacts in the interior design industry. We are very pleased with how things have gone and our relationship with Andrea. She is diligent and very trustworthy.

No hesitation in recommending Andrea after working with her on a long renovation and extension project. It was a moving target in terms of deadline and budget but Andreas professionalism and knowledge of the building industry from initial architectural input right through to soft furnishings kept us on track ! She understood what we were hoping to achieve and was a pleasure to work with.

Andrea worked on a complete house renovation for me under a tight budget. The house was for my 2 sons both in their early 20’s therefore needed to be modern & easy to maintain. I was delighted with the results which ticked all the boxes. Not only did Andrea work on the scheme & source all the products she also managed the whole project & trades involved. I would have no hesitation in recommending her or her work.
