“I am absolutely thrilled with the transformation of my living room, thanks to the incredible talent and vision of Emma Holmes. From the moment we began discussing ideas, it was clear that Emma had a deep understanding of my desire for a serene and elegant space, and the final result exceeded all my expectations.

The choice of a French blue palette was nothing short of inspired. It brings a sense of calm and sophistication to the room, perfectly balancing warmth and tranquillity. Emma’s expertly combined textures and patterns, creating a harmonious blend that feels both timeless and contemporary. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the carefully selected smoked glass furnishings to the exquisite accents that tie the room together.  Emma went far beyond expectations in engaging with third parties to source exactly the right pieces, resulting in a space that I’m so excited to show friends and family.

What truly sets Emma apart is her ability to listen and translate my vision into reality while adding her creative flair and expertise. Emma has been attentive to my wishes, needs and preferences, ensuring that the space not only looks stunning but also feels comfortable, warm and inviting.

Working with is an absolute pleasure. She is professional, communicative, and dedicated to making sure every aspect of the project is executed flawlessly. I am beyond grateful for the serene oasis she has helped me to create in my home, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking to elevate their living space with elegance and style.

Thank you, Emma, for turning my living room into a beautiful retreat that I will enjoy for years to come!”

“Emma came highly recommended by several people we spoke to at a friend’s party. After complimenting their stylish home, they shared that Emma had been instrumental in creating their look. My husband and I decided to reach out to her, as our own home, which we had bought and extended nearly 10 years ago, was in dire need of a refresh. At the time, our decor was predominantly white and grey—functional but far from exciting.

From the moment we connected with Emma, she was incredible. Her expertise and enthusiasm made the process enjoyable and stress-free. She gave us the confidence to step out of our comfort zone and experiment with bolder, more creative colour choices. While we like to be hands-on with selecting decor, Emma was always available to offer invaluable advice and ensure our purchases aligned with the overall vision.

Her creativity and attention to detail have truly transformed our home. It feels like an entirely different space—one that we absolutely love and are so proud of. The flow of the design is seamless, yet it still reflects our personal style. Our friends have been full of compliments, particularly about how cohesive and unique it all feels.

We couldn’t recommend Emma more highly. If you’re looking for someone to elevate your space while keeping it personal, she’s the one to call!”

“Emma and I have worked together over the last few months to completely redesign and reconfigure my lounge.

From the initial discovery call and questionnaire, I could tell that Emma completely understood my vision, style and brief.  She listened to my ideas and was able to offer new elements, improvements and suggestions, and these were reflected in the mood boards she provided.

Emma helped me overcome the challenging shape of the lounge which is long and thin.  She suggested adding alcoves and a reading nook to reduce the length and this completely transformed the room.

Emma was very patient and we spent time going through every detail.  Together, we decided on everything from paint colours to flooring, from curtain fabrics to lighting and from furniture to artwork, and we discussed options until I was 100% happy.  Throughout the process, I knew she was at the end of the phone should I have any questions.

Emma incorporated the furniture that I wanted to keep within the scheme and also helped me to source new furniture, lighting and rugs.  Even though I live too far away for Emma to support onsite, she worked with me on timelines so I was able to book trades people at the right time so everything ran smoothly.

Emma has been amazing from start to finish and her attention to detail is exemplary.  The whole process was effortless and efficient.  We discussed every detail and I didn’t feel rushed to make a decision.  She helped with furniture, lighting and picture placement, sketching out ideas, which brought the room together.

Emma went above and beyond and she is professional and organised.  I thoroughly enjoyed our time working on my lounge and I would highly recommend Emma.

Emma brought the room together and I could not be happier.  My brief was to create a relaxing and cozy lounge where I could enjoy quiet time with a good book – Emma has created my sanctuary and it’s better than I could have imagined.”

“The project we asked Emma to do was a dressing room and a bedroom for our daughter. She came up with lovely mood boards and ideas for these rooms. Emma is a very friendly and passionate designer. We found her extremely organised and easy to work with. Any problems were dealt with very professionally.

I would definitely recommend her.”

“Emma was an absolute pleasure to work with. I was very unsure about how having an interior designer would work, but knew I wanted and needed help. We have a 1920s home with original features and tall ceilings and I wanted to be sympathetic to the property but also inject a really sense of ourselves with fun spaces, calm spaces and bold colour but I just wasn’t sure how to accomplish this, I was overwhelmed.

Emma was immediately so reassuring and talked me through every step, letting me be as involved as I wanted to be throughout the process. I looked forward to hearing from her with the latest updates and ideas, it was the highlight of my week. It was like having a personal shopper for our home, heaven!

Emma has such a good eye for what would work in our home, the practicalities that needed taking into consideration – ensuring that we had everything we needed as well as what we wanted.

After 7 years, our house finally feels like our home. It reflects us as a family.  Emma also ensured that we future proofed the house so that spaces that were created for the children could evolve as they grow.

I could not recommend Emma enough, she is, professional, friendly, so talented and her work is exemplary. I’d almost like to do it all over again.”

My wife and I are a retired couple who have pretty conservative tastes. We have a large lounge we wanted to completely refurb and felt we probably needed help with this to achieve a significant change and get away from our usual choices of somewhat bland pastel colours. In short, we often saw things we liked, but had no idea how to integrate these into our own home.

We’d always thought of an interior designer being for the ‘rich and famous’ – however having been recommended to work with Emma we quickly found this isn’t the case. Emma was affordable, enthusiastic and full of ideas. We wanted to be a little more adventurous with both colours and textures and Emma was great at helping us achieve this.

Not only did she make great recommendations, but has a portfolio of excellent tradesmen – in our case a decorator and a bespoke furniture builder who made us a custom TV unit with storage. Additionally, she has access to many trade-only companies where she found us curtain material, lighting and wallpaper not available to the general public.

We have no hesitation in recommending Emma and look forward to working with her again.

I have always done my own interiors in my home but got tired of rooms looking rather “safe” and bland. I was tending to return to the same colours and needed Emma to give me a push and take me out of my comfort zone.

Emma listens carefully to what you want from a room and takes that on board, whilst giving you a design that you never would have thought of yourself. What I particularly love about Emma’s designs is that she thinks of the practicalities of the room as well as the aesthetic. Having two children, she has a great understanding of how homes work for families, however she has definitely added a touch of glam to our rooms.

I cannot recommend Emma enough. She pushed my boundaries, but really listened to mine and my family’s needs and we could not be happier with the rooms she has designed in our home.
