Has anyone used one? Was it money well spent?


We are in the 6th month of an 8 - 9 mth renovation project. Entire house will be redecorated post building work stage with new kitchen, bathrooms etc


I'm a little daunted..... Know what I like etc but desperate to keep the character whilst modernising.


I've had an interior designer round who seems really good and indicated the discounts they achieve (accounts with main suppliers) go a long way to paying for their services. Have you found this to be the case?

definitely - I found it saved masses of time too, I knew what I wanted and it was great to talk it through with someone who offered comments and and suggestions but most importantly did all the leg work and said "here are the 3 sofas I suggest you look at" rather than me visiting hundreds of showrooms. I didn't have a scheme done but just got general advice and saved more than the cost of the advice. I used Anya Louize: http://www.anyalouizeinteriors.com and would really recommend her.

It's a friend of a friend that was recommended to us. When we met she was great! She actually works for the Dulux design service - that said, they are independent and can recommend any supplier which is what I was looking for.


Farrow and Ball charge ?175 ph and only recommend their own products!!!!

Laura Stephens is a local interior designer (www.laurastephens.co.uk). I have seen some of her work and they are really lovely rooms.

I know she is happy to work with a variety of budgets also (am sadly anchored to the high street budget myself...), but I do think the discounts balance out the fees and you get a really cohesive look.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a local interior designer at the moment. Has anyone else used anyone good recently that they would recommend? I would say I'm high street budget, and just want help pulling a bedroom together. It hink it will save me money in the long run. I have a habit of buying bits and then changing my mind and it all gets rather stressful! Any recommendations happily received!

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
