Prior to commencing a refurbishment of our property after moving in we were not even sure that we wanted/needed an interior designer. Having completed the project, we know with absolute certainty that Sophie Louisa Interiors and her team were an invaluable, indispensable, incredible part of the whole process. They have turned our house into a home!
With Sophie one gets an accomplished designer whom listens carefully and accommodates whims and wishes where appropriate (and can tactfully explain why some ideas are perhaps bad ideas!). 3D designs bring ideas and discussions to life, and choices/alternatives are viewed alongside one another. It makes the process of selecting a design quick, simple and pain-free, as Sophie removes all of the confusion. That simplification and streamlining of the process and thus efficiency with our time was, to me, very welcome.
Sophie is then also excellent at execution (as we elected to benefit from her and her team of Merry Men carrying out the works that she had designed). Her project management minimised our own need for involvement, her organisation and ability to be across all aspects of the project provided endless reassurance that we'd not missed anything or that nothing was being forgotten.
Sophie has a depth of experience and works with tried and trusted tradesmen whom know and understand her work, and her ethos. Her experience is of great benefit to clients, as she does this all day, every day, and has likely solved every problem one is likely to encounter on previous projects, and carries that wisdom into everything she does.
Sophie is able to talk with her team about big construction issues, planning details, niche plumbing or electrical issues and right down to the cutest of finishing touches and the fanciest of details (and able to explain it to me in the most idiot-proof of terms!) she removed the worry that we might make poor choices due to not understanding the issue or the technical explanation from the contractor.
Having had Sophie complete our project, we never want to move house again as its just what we wanted, and better than we had dared hope. However, if we do ever move house again, or when the time comes to smarten up another property, we know that there is only one interior designer, project manager, superhuman problem-solver and all-round lovely lady that we'd turn to. And that is Sophie Louisa Interiors!
