We found Caroline serendipitously on Instagram whilst looking for general inspiration for our renovation. I was feeling pretty overwhelmed with all the work we had to do which included structural changes as well and we knew we had some critical rooms to get right - one with an awkward layout, another incorporating an “ugly” but necessary piece of furniture and the other our family bathroom that we wanted to get right first time. After an initial call we got a really good vibe from her and felt like she understood our desire to create beauty throughout our home and not spend loads on every aspect of the rooms doing so. Caroline worked quickly and understood our brief every time (we got her help with three rooms). She gave us ideas and suggestions that fit our aesthetic and pushed us out of our comfort zones. A particular highlight for me were all her colour suggestions - we had never been adventurous in this area before but Caroline’s suggestions were great! It’s been even better actually seeing them on the walls. Also the bathroom tiles are unlike anything we would’ve ever chosen for ourselves but look amazing. She was on hand when we wanted to run things by her and even when we gave her a super tight turnaround for the bathroom due to builder availability, she was able to move things around and help us out. I referred to her emails and moodboards throughout the whole process after our calls she that really helped to visualise everything in the room. She’s really helped up take the leap by adding pieces that bring so much character to the rooms that we wouldn’t have chosen ourselves. I would recommend Caroline time and time again for her ability to really understand people’s needs and come up with something that is not just fit for purpose / on brief but also pushes the boundaries in a very comfortable way resulting in something great! I look forward to working with Caroline again :)

Absolute interiors wizard 🪄 Five stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We were starting a major kitchen/dining room renovation and feeling quite overwhelmed by it all. So many decisions and we just had no idea where to start! I asked Caroline for her help and she was fantastic. She came over (we are local to her) and chatted with me to get some ideas of what we wanted from the space, and what sort of style/vibe we were drawn to. She then went away and produced a wonderful mood board which really helped us visualise the space and had shoppable links! She sent this with a great watercolour drawing and the most incredibly long detailed email in which she had thought of *everything*. It was an absolute godsend and I referred to the email, moodboard and pictures so many times over the whole process. She also very kindly let me pop over to look at her beautiful kitchen (which was one of the most useful things as we have very similar shaped houses and it really helped me visualise what we would end up with. This also kept me going through the darkest and dustiest days of the renovation!) We made some slight changes to the original plan (e.g. dark green cabinets instead of navy; single shelves instead of double; single pendant over breakfast bar) but having a concrete starting point really helped us to actually decide what we wanted, rather than swimming through the nebulae of Instagram and Pinterest forever.... The shoppable links also saved me a decision or two. I love the Pooky wall task lights and Dunelm pendant that she found. Caroline was also on hand over WhatsApp to answer my panicked questions about paint colours, shelf height and blinds. Plus she was a font of knowledge about local places to source things (like our scaffold board shelves from Newcastle Wood Yard). Would recommend Caroline to anyone who is feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start - with any room in the house. She is also a lovely person: warm and professional. I'll be asking her back to work her magic on the hall next! Thanks so much Caroline xx

Caroline was so helpful in helping us to create such a warm and inviting kitchen space. Her laid back nature alongside a great eye for colour and design made her an absolute pleasure to work with. She made suggestions we would never have thought of but also incorporated some colours and designs we were keen to include. We are so so pleased, thank you !

My husband and I booked a consultation with Caroline whilst we were in the midst of making decisions about our new bathroom. Talking our plans through with Caroline before we committed to them was invaluable and really helped us find clarity. She came with lots of tips and pointers, as well as new ideas we hadn’t thought of, and suggestions for local suppliers. And she’s really nice too! We recommend Caroline without hesitation.

I've had a great experience working with Caroline! I contacted her when I was already well into a home renovation project. I had a fairly clear idea about the style I wanted and had already made a few finish choices but I was looking for advice for some of the things I wasn't certain about as well as some ideas for areas where I was stuck. She provided exactly the amount of hand-holding that I was looking for - providing feedback as well as direction on paint colors and furniture layout. I think Caroline took my renovation plan from nice to inspired and polished! And all for a very reasonable cost. A great investment! Caroline and I worked together remotely since she's in the UK and I'm in the US (I was drawn in by her IG pics and her great rates) but between emails and a couple of zooms that wasn't an issue at all.
