Bespoke Home Bar Professionals in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, UK

“We found Chic on the Internet & were allocated Emma as our designer. We hit it off with her straight away & she quickly learnt how to work alongside us. She was very patient & professional & drew on our home & garden to come up with a design suitable for us. She had some good contacts & came up with some good prices for our lounge/staircase/landing project. We had a few blips, mainly with damaged goods arriving via on line buying. We found the ordering & returning of damaged goods the worst part of the whole project. In the main the workforce she employed were very good & although the whole project seemed to take a long time, we are highly satisfied with the end result.”

“We have been delighted with RMD, with their designs and the transformations of a house into our home. We had originally created the floor space but struggled with how to finish it to realise its full potential and create a home that was right for us. RMD suggested themes, textures and colours that we would never have considered ourselves but that we really love. Presenting a number of options to better understand our preferences was a great part of the process – even merging some themes to get to the best result for us. It was a collaborative process throughout and once the team got to know us, the designs for further rooms were straightforward. RMD have achieved a warm and comfortable style balanced with practicality, flow and best use of space. We could not be happier. We would highly recommend Rachel and her team at RMD and will of course be using them again (very soon!)”

“My old bathroom was very dated and dark. I knew I wanted to remove the bath and replace it with a large walk in shower but couldn’t figure out how the space would work. Pete used the 3D room design to show me how the reimagined space would work and how the colour scheme would look. I wasn’t sure about how the mirror would look in next to the window but Pete encouraged me to try this innovative method and explained why it would work. It completely made the bathroom and creates lots of light. I’m so pleased with how the bathroom has looked. Thank You so much!”

“We can not thank Abby & Mike enough for their excellent advice & help in designing our new home. We are thrilled with it all. They are professional and friendly and extremely knowledgeable and came up with ideas & colour schemes that we would never have thought of. We highly recommend them.”

“We have used Fiona Watkins on a number of our projects, but our development of 'Larchwood', as a new build contemporary home, was the largest of these assignments. Fiona delivered a full service interior design, including but limited to: decor, finishings, kitchen, bathrooms, lighting and furniture. We truly believe that this fabulous, high value home would not have turned out as well as it did, without Fiona's design management. Fiona is not only an exceptional interior designer but her personable approach both with us and the contractor's on site made it so much more an enjoyable experience. Her services were also extended to the procurement of a variety of fixtures and finishings, including the kitchen and bathroom. She was able to negotiate some terrific deals and made considerable cost savings to the project. We would highly recommend Fiona to anyone wishing to appoint a talented Interior Designer.

“I have known Lana for some time and have seen many examples of the magic she has worked for other clients. A couple of years ago I bought a large, Victorian house which had many original features intact, but was in need of a complete makeover from top to bottom. Other than wanting to keep the original fireplaces, deep skirting boards, lincrusta wallcovering and decorative covings, I didn't really have a particular 'look' in mind. Lana explained that the refurbishment would have to be completed in phases, with the first stage focusing on building work. The combination of her meticulous planning and extensive network of contacts meant that the replumbing, rewiring, complete window replacement and building of a new staircase were all completed on time, to budget and with the minimum of fuss. There was, of course, a lot of disruption during this part of the process but the end results were worth it. Lana's input into the design of the new, large double glazed sash windows has turned them into beautiful features, rather than functional objects. Her design of the new staircase to fit into a tight space demonstrates her technical expertise aswell as creativity. Phase 2 of the project involved the replacement of bathrooms and the kitchen. Lana designed the layouts for each, starting with a blank piece of paper. A number of options were explained to me, from the fairly straightforward replacement like-for-like of fittings, through to the complete rebuild including removal of walls. Having selected the preferred layout (I went for the complete rebuild), Lana then set to work sourcing unusual and stunning tiles, worktops, fittings and lighting. The results are amazing - totally functional rooms but beautiful at the same time. The final phase (for now, at least) of the transformation was the one which people normally associate with interior designers - furniture, fabrics, floor coverings, lighting and accessories. I confess to being hopeless at putting together combinations of colours, designs and textures but Lana is an absolute star. The array of products she is able to source from around the world is incredible and for each room I was presented with alternative schemes. I have contemporary furniture from Italy covered in fabric from France, sliding panels created from Japanese silk, light fittings from Portugal and bespoke furniture, hand crafted locally to Lana's original design. The overall look of the house is phenomenal. The original Victorian features have been brought back to life by careful choices of colour and are complemented throughout by the careful choice of modern materials. As if this isn't enough, Lana produces fabulous original artwork on canvas, glass, metal and wood. The perfect finishing touch to any room.”

“Janey Butler Interiors were a joy to work with , they created the most amazing home for myself and my husband , restyling every room. The colours they use are elegant , subtle and utterly relaxing . Their use of soft luxurious fabrics combined with exquisite items carefully chosen from Europe combined to make our home a wonderful haven . Everything they do is such high quality and it shines out , showing such an innate style which sets them apart from so many others . They were incredibly knowledgable about what is available and how it would work alongside other products and finishes and have the creative insight to come up with ideas and solutions to set the design apart from the rest . They worked so well listening to my needs and worked to my budget , I was kept informed throughout , they were wonderful to work with and nothing was too much trouble , and they always kept to deadlines . It was clear from the start that they knew the business so very well and had the experience needed to know what would work in the space available . I could not be happier .”

“After receiving quotes from other local suppliers we finally chose Hartwoods to design and fit our new kitchen, it turned out to be the right choice! We had to have a supporting wall knocked out, involving extensive building works, but with the care and attention Jon and his team provided it all went without a hitch! Our kitchen now meets the needs of our lifestyle, looks stunning, and the comments we've received from family & friends says it all. The fitters attention to detail was second to none, a job very well done! Would highly recommend. Lee, Macclesfield.”

“In house interior design have undertaken two projects for us and are now embarking on a third. Jan and Nicky are excellent at making recommendations to meet the brief which empathise with the period of your house. and the use of the room. In our case, we like traditional with a twist of contemporary, with a dog thrown in. I would recommend them if you are looking for the highest quality design and an individual service. Penny Baxter”
