Here are just some of the comments received from our clients.
"I approached Sarah at Design Focus, having decided that my Ground Floor needed a re-think and make-over, but lacking the inspiration and know-how to make it happen. From the beginning the process was iterative, with Sarah’s strong professional expertise and extensive product knowledge carefully guiding me through the myriad of decisions that were necessary, as the project for the four rooms developed.
Perhaps the most interesting point in the whole exercise, was that the final scheme incorporated so many of my own ideas – ideas I didn’t think I had! That, surely, is the skill of an outstanding Interior Designer, enabling informed decisions to be made at the appropriate time, and building confidence throughout the project which, for me, spanned six months."
Michael Chappin, Northleach, Gloucestershire
“We gave Sarah a brief to go to Spain to measure up and turn our dream home purchase into a Mediterranean place. She did this with ease and gave us lots of choices of scheme we might use, all the while looking in the sales for bargains… We would recommend her any time – and this was the second time we had used her services!”
Mr and Mrs Williamson, Cheltenham
“We recently commissioned Design Focus to help us convert a spare bedroom into a guest bedroom. Sarah listened carefully to our plans and advised us on the best way of achieving our objective. Nothing was too much trouble and the end result is exactly what we were hoping for. The whole thing came together beautifully. We are about to embark on a much larger project and shall certainly be using Design Focus again. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, who, like us, needs a little assistance in getting it right.”
Carol and Tony Diett, Gloucestershire
“Sarah – excellent, many thanks. I am most grateful for all you have done for me. I hadn’t realised quite what a tip I had purchased, but it is now, thanks to you, clean, bright, airy – a home to be proud of.”
Mr Kelley, Gloucester
“Dear Sarah, thank you. The curtains are indeed hung and look lovely. I will send you a photograph of the now furnished and finished room. We will hopefully be starting on the bedrooms soon and I will let you know when we are ready to curtain.”
Mrs Williams, Cheltenham
“We asked Design Focus to assist us with our home decorating project. We were able to spend our time where we like to spend it – on the golf course – while Sarah took charge or all the things we needed. All the ideas were presented in an easy to understand format and the choices were provided so that we still felt we were in control! We went away on holiday safe in the knowledge that when we returned, all the messy work would have been finished and we would be returning to our newly decorated home – and we were not disappointed! All the work was carried out to a high standard, and for us at least – it was all so easy!”
Mr and Mrs Catrill, Gloucestershire
“One of the best decisions I made was to ask Design Focus to help me with the changes I wanted to make to my home. It was wonderful having contemporary, yet practical ideas that fitted in with the rest of my home presented to me with two or three alternatives. All this and someone else to wait in for deliveries and ensure that everything was fine on completion! Since that first time, I have worked with Design Focus again and again. Thanks to Design Focus my projects were achieved while I was swamped by work. I can’t imagine making future changes to my home without the advice and expertise of Design Focus.”
Dr Marilyn Hammick, Northleach, Gloucestershire
“Starting a busy new job in Cheltenham and setting up a flat would have been impossible without Sarah. She took charge in a creative, but highly efficient way of everything that needed doing to get the look and feel I wanted with layouts, furnishing and curtains, as well as arranging for the purchase and fitting of the ‘boring but important’ things like mirrors, bathroom cabinets, towel rails and coat hooks. The result is a practical, modern flat with slightly bohemian overtones.”
Mary Curnock Cook, Cheltenham
“We contacted Sarah of Design Focus to upgrade the décor of The United Services Club in Cheltenham. The décor of the reception hallway and front bar and salon are an outstanding success and have drawn a myriad of favourable comments from our Members and Staff. Indeed, the positive reaction to Sarah’s endeavours has directly resulted in an increase in our Membership. We cannot thank Sarah enough and look forward to our continued partnership and the completion of the upgrade to the back bar, function room and stage area. I’m sure it will attract yet more praise and a further increase in Membership.”
Richard Bryant, The United Services Club, Cheltenham
