How We Work Contact Us

  • “Efficient, versatile and just what I needed to help me with my house renovation-will certainly be using them in the future.”

    Anne Hemsley, Hayes, Kent

  • “Suzanne had previously helped us with a number of interior design matters over the years, but nothing as significant as an extension.

    From the outset Suzanne provided excellent advice on how we could best make full use of the space, challenging our ideas where necessary. She pulled together a great team and delivered the extension on time and on budget.

    Suzanne’s project management meant that we had a stress free build and we were absolutely delighted with the result. We have had no doubts at all in recommending Suzanne to our family and friends and she would be our first port of call if we were to ever take on something like this again.”

    Mr and Mrs W

  • “I am extremely happy with the standard of furnishing and level of service provided by Furnishing Interiors. Suzanne, Olivia and the team were all extremely efficient, friendly and professional. They provided full furnishing, accessories, curtains and blinds for our 2 bed show home. We have had numerous compliments on this, and I have already recommended Furnishing Interiors to other property companies I work with and will also be using them at my own house too! Having worked with a number of other interior des/furnishing companies I will now only be using them on all future projects.100% recommend.”
