Dining Room Design Professionals in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, UK

“Having worked with Steph from Altrincham Interiors I found her knowledge and creativity made my job as a fitter a breeze. She is also open to ideas which may slightly deviate from the original plan. All in all I would highly recommend.”

“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.”

“It was a few years ago when he did this work for us but overall it was good work and I would recommend him to others. I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted or even if it was a good idea but he was able to show me it could be done and would work well, so we went ahead with the conversion of the cellar. There were a few changes that had to made as it was going along (some of them us changing our minds and some the designs needing tweaking, but as I said it was some years ago and he was a bit new to this) but he was very practical and inventive about it and it all got completed within the budget, which he had warned us would be a bit narrow, but as we were doing a lot of the work ourselves that helped. He was able to source us some lovely coving from Germany and found us some matching brass wall sconces so it all worked well together and is still one of our favorite rooms.”

“Hannah and Caroline have done a brilliant job transforming my drab boring downstairs into a bright (but cozy) lounge and dining room. I love it. They listened to what I wanted and encouraged me to choose furniture I would NEVER have picked on my own. I love it!!! My husband and I sit regularly and congratulate ourselves on what a nice lounge we now have!!! It was definitely money well spent. Many thanks to both. We will definitely use Style North again.”

“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!)”

“Jan has restored three bedrooms and a sitting room in our Edwardian house. Her work is of a very high standard and her attention to detail and finish is excellent. She has a very good eye for colour and design. Along with her her husband John no other professionals were needed to complete the restoration work, which was carried out speedily and within budget. We will be using Jan again this year and can highly recommend her work.”

“Clare at Casa Rosa helped us to transform our downstairs hall/toilet area and we are delighted with the result. Clare was knowledgeable, professional friendly and patient. She was ready to listen to our taste and make suggestions accordingly. I would not hesitate to recommend Clare's work.”

“Natalie is the epitome of professional interior design. After our consultation she went away and created the most beautiful portfolio for us to choose from in terms of cost, options and priority. We felt that we could still have a nice, luxurious home on a budget. Her ideas were completely in tune with what I wanted to create as a home office and it has meant that my working environment is calming, clutter free and filled with personal touches. We would have Natalie back time and time again for future projects.”

“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.”

“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.”
