"We used Gemma for a loft renovation and redecoration for our family home whilst living abroad, we couldn't have done it / managed it or made it as lovely as it is without her professional flair for design. She is a lovely person to work with and helped us organise our ideas into one beautiful cohesive home that we love. She thinks about every detail and guides you along the way with great visuals and ideas. We are so pleased with the result and believe it's increased our enjoyment and value of the home".

"We realised we needed help when planning a new extension to ensure
optimum space ultilisation. Gem was lovely to work with
- professional, inspirational and so helpful".

“It was great to have Gemma involved from the start. She ran through not just
the big decisions, but also all the small choices we would have to make
(from grout colours to skirting board styles) so we ended up with
exactly what we wanted. We can’t recommend her highly enough”.

"With a true designer’s eye, Gemma helped explore options for layout,
material selection and furniture. All of which were quickly visualised
to enable us to understand how our choices would work together.
This was invaluable as it saved many false starts".
