Also commissioned new air-source heat pump and solar photovoltaic panels.

Sun room gains character with bold colour

This garden room was an extension from the kitchen and needed to feel like a destination in it's own right.. the deep red on the walls and furnishings really sits well with the colours in the garden.

An exercise in reaching the potential of a small space. Bespoke countertop and pebble mosiac bring a warmth and natural touch to the ensuite.

Living space for a young family, we made a beautiful Moroccan style trellis back-lit with LED's to create a focal point within the room, a point of interest to balance the tv/cinema system.

TESTIMONIALS

We had basic ideas of what we wanted. Sue did an incredible job of refining those ideas. She created something of beauty and function. We would never have chosen such a gorgeous colour palette, or have been able to source such ethical craftsmanship and local tradesmen. Sue was always mindful of cost and we felt she provided a bespoke service that fully met our needs. Always a joy and inspiration, thank you Sue. we are so very glad you were able to support us. Onto the next room...!

Mr and Mrs. T. Pershore 2021, 2023, 2025!

We've used Sue and her exceptional vision to update and coordinate many rooms in our old house. Every one a winner! She worked with us, developing ideas together collaboratively... several friends have visited and remarked how elegant the house now feels yet still a cosy, friendly family home... Chris P. 2025

Ms. F. Cotswolds 2023

... I hadn't appreciated how a well-planned design will last, incorporating simple changes for the future that keep it stylish even as our family needs change...

L.S. Notts 2025

"We've used Sue mainly for her advice, rather than her full design and project management service, which we would choose next time frankly. The value with Sue is not simply her fine design skill and colour sense, it's her ability to grasp quickly how the space is going to be used and come up with practical ideas and layouts”
