Happy Clients
We wanted to brighten up a couple of key rooms in our home ahead of putting it on the market to sell. Helen worked with us, considering the tones in our existing hard and soft furnishings and the lighting in each room to establish recommendations for complimentary colours and room dressing, to achieve maximum buyer interest with minimal expense. The house has never felt so bright and welcoming, and positive feedback from several viewings included specific references to the warm and welcoming colour scheme. We were able to sell our home within a few weeks – something we consider Helen’s guidance to have played a significant role in achieving. We will be using Helen again while redecorating and furnishing our new home. Highly recommend!

I have used Helen twice for our restaurant. Helen was brilliant in helping us with our decking area, she suggested a bright colour scheme and accessories and covered all the details. She has very good design ideas. We are also using Helen for the interior of our restaurant. She came up with some great ideas quickly and it is looking very good. I would highly recommend Helen.
