Ardingly

We used various tones of neutral colours throughout this beautiful rural Grade II Listed house to create a scheme that would work in harmony with the strong character and natural features of the property. We included some understated but beautifully made pieces of furniture made of natural woods and materials. The bathroom was updated with industrial looking crittall shower doors and softened with a vintage wooden vanity unit and traditional unlacquered brass sanitaryware. We had designed and commissioned the kitchen for our clients several years before and chose a soft shade of green to give it a new lease of life.

"We are delighted with the way Georgina transformed our town house, both from a design and a project management point of view. The first time we met we were impressed that Georgina was much more concerned with finding out what we wanted rather than talking about herself. We wanted an overall colour scheme for the whole house, and the scope included decorating and carports/flooring/tiling throughout, a new bathroom, a new kitchen and some furniture and joinery. She then came up with her ideas for an overall concept and for some features in the main rooms, and we were delighted - they were very much in tune with what we wanted. At all stages she sought our agreement and let us choose between options she found for us. She then managed the project very effectively: getting quotes from contractors she trusted, letting us choose them, and then managing them. In fact we were able to move out for five of the eight weeks, makings it easier for us and the workers, and Georgina oversaw the work. She kept us updated with item by item costs on an amazing spreadsheet. In the end it was done to a high standard and we are very pleased. Georgina was a joy to work with, with a good sense of humour."
