This busy professional couple were motivated to improve their home but could never find the time to get started.  After spending time at home during the 2020 lockdown period they decided they needed help. They engaged The Design Co to deliver a transformation and to take care of all aspects of design and project management.  Almost every room was touched in some way, but with careful planning and coordination the disruption was minimal. Only minor renovations were required to update this home, and with the help a clever make-over it will be comfortable and stylish for years to come.

Feedback from our clients
"We were very lucky to find the Design Co to mastermind and manage our post-lockdown renovation.  We had put off redecorating for years because it felt like such a huge task - Ali and Pip made it both manageable and fun.
Ali and Pip expertly guided us through all the design questions and choices - from carpets, fabrics, furniture, bathroom fittings, painting, lighting, doors, windows and everything in between. They listened carefully to our views and returned with different ideas and options - and their ideas and sense of colours and fabrics were fantastic.
Once the choices were made, and orders confirmed, Ali and Pip’s fabulous team of tradespeople swung into action. The whole project was brilliantly managed by the Design Co. - on time, on budget, and remarkably hassle-free from our perspective!

Thank you Ali and Pip for making the whole renovation so smooth - we love our ‘new’ house!"
