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!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
