What clients say
Before working with Emma we felt embarrassed about our home and it felt really stressful not knowing where to start. Emma got us excited about a process that could otherwise have been overwhelming, but she always remained calm. She had a lovely way of nudging us into making decisions and knowing when we needed her to make the decisions for us - totally removing the decision fatigue. When something didn’t go to plan, she just got on and dedicated her time to making sure it was right. We trusted her 100%. We just love the end result! It was a real overhaul, and it’s been totally worth it. The house is as calm as a busy family home will ever be, there is nothing we dislike, and we feel it reflects us so well. If you're thinking of working with Emma, I’d say: do it now! She’s lovely and amazing, has a lot of vision, really listens to what you want and considers how to make your space work. I have recommended her to a few already and we want her to do our daughters' rooms next!
Emma really listened to what we liked, why we needed help and what we wanted to achieve in the makeover of our living room, hall and dining room. She gave us advice on the overall house theme, design layout, styles and colours and then helped us with shopping for furniture. At times, she challenged our thinking which was a good thing. We now have wallpaper for the first time ever. What I loved most was how flexible, friendly and professional Emma was throughout. If we didn’t feel comfortable with one of her suggestions, she was open to exploring different ideas so that we were comfortable with the plans. The result feels right for our family, and we love the new look and feel – so much more than we would have imagined. Emma is lovely to work with, creative and truly cares about her clients and what they are trying to achieve. Can’t recommend Emma enough!
I found Emma’s suggestions very helpful when we were looking for inspiration on how to decorate our new hallway. She really listened to the few ideas I had to get an idea of what we were looking for and what we wanted to incorporate into the room. She then suggested ways to improve and bring the whole style together which she presented in a beautiful mood board and a comprehensive shopping list. I am very happy with the result.
