Interior designer saved my sanity!

[jojomarshall]

I'm project managing my own house renovation, it's a big project - extension, kitchen, side return, loft and was weighed down by all the decisions I had to make, but reluctant to ask for help as i'm quite fussy and into design myself. My husband found some recommendations on EDF and forced me phone them to save our marriage, and my sanity!

After speaking to three or four I chose Lynlea West ([email protected])and having had our first meeting, a burden has been lifted! She blitzed through my long list of questions in a couple of hours. She was really focussed, listened and responded to my ideas with better ones. She has so much experience I feel i will now save money by making the right decisions (and she is really not expensive). Oh and she's really delightful and down to earth. From the tiniest details of kitchen finishes, room layouts and furniture design, paint colours, lighting schemes, even more architectural stuff, she knows what will work and is realistic about budget. I am so glad i got her involved, now all i have to deal with is the stress of the builders - when they turn up!

By the way, here's her website www.interiorimprint.com.

She also has a post on the forum under http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1754334,1754334#msg-1754334

Oh I used Lynlea from Interior Imprint too! She did an amazing job redesigning my bathroom. From the first consultation I felt that she understood my ideas and style and immediately solved problems of reconfiguring the layout, choosing the sanitary ware, floor and wall tiles, paint colours right down to the decorative accessories. I spent a lot of time thinking about the project and not really getting anywhere but as soon as she was involved the whole process moved swiftly and painlessly forward and I'm delighted with the results. I highly recommend using Lynlea, she's easy to communicate with, fast and has a great sense of style, brilliant ideas and can deliver results in a timely fashion and on budget.

Another thumbs up for Lynlea from me!

The thought of having an interior design always felt over the top and unaffordable. With Pinterest and Houzz, I thought I had all the inspiration I needed. But Lynlea has completely changed my opinion of what an interior designer can do for you, regardless of the size of the project or your budget.

Coming to the end of a loft and kitchen extension, I thought I was getting to the exciting bit, where I got to finish the house as I wanted. But after months of making mundane decisions with builders, my enthusiasm was flagging and the endless possibilities for what I could do was rather daunting.

I came across Interior Imprints by chance and immediately got Lynlea round for an initial consultation. I had a list of things I wanted some advice on, and Lynlea was able to understand my style preferences and make a number of suggestions for all of them. Importantly, she did something I really needed, which was to give me the confidence to give some of my bolder ideas a go. She also made suggestions, which at first look, seemed unusual and not to my taste. But seeing the whole package in a mood board, it all came together and you realise the value an interior designer can add. I really wish interior design is something I'd have factored in at the start of the project, as there are a number of things I would have done differently.

I found Lynlea to be extremely friendly and professional. She had lots of great tips for finishes and a long list of quality suppliers and trades people. I'd highly recommend working with her.

Hi,

I just wanted to add that we undertook a major house renovation last year and got in contact with Lynlea early on to help with decisions about colours. She gave lots of fantastic advice and before we knew it we?d asked her to help with other decisions too. Lynlea gave us the confidence to go with some bold choices and suggested pieces that would work together and within budget and often from shops we hadn?t come across. In addition to furniture and colours, Lynlea also helped us source curtain fabric and offered advice on style too. Finally, she was very useful in suggesting other local, trusted professionals.

Lynlea is friendly, professional and responsive. I would highly recommend working with her.
