WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Karen took my ramblings and vague brief and developed them into an exquisite design, and I now find I have a room that almost feels like it gives me a hug every time I walk in. I feel I am the very lucky custodian of a work of art that Karen has produced and am looking forward to transforming the rest of the house into a unique and personalised home"

"If you are fortunate enough to work with Karen you will love the experience and the finished product."
K. Griggs, Sand Hutton
Karen is an absolute joy to work with and I am absolutely thrilled with the work she has done for me. The use of colour and pattern, careful thought into proportions, design details are all very apparent to me and people who visit my home.
J. Robinson, Leeds
Karen is a simply brilliant interior designer to work with. We weren't sure what to expect but she very quickly got under the skin of our requirements, and the end result is a quantum leap ahead of anything we could ever have done ourselves, whilst simultaneously fully reflecting our personalities.
