Testimonials

“Val, thanks so much for your patience, enthusiasm and commitment during our recent house renovations.  We are delighted with all the results especially in the lounge where with your positive help we found the perfect solutions for combining the huge modern window with the comfort of a family home. We look forward to working with you on the final stage of our project.”
John & Sue Hague

“We are absolutely delighted with the assistance you have given us and in particular the ‘holistic’ approach that you have brought to the interiors, which goes far beyond just a well presented show home” Bill Rabbetts MD Drew Construction (New Milton) Ltd.

“Val, I haven’t got around to saying yet, how wonderful the show home looks.  Everyone who looks at it thinks that it is stunning.  You have achieved the right blend of ‘showiness’ without being too glitzy, which was exactly what we wanted. It feels homely, yet still has that boutique hotel chic” Edward Elliott Junnell Homes Ltd

“We would highly recommend Val. She is organised, efficient and totally committed.  Our show apartment is fresh, inviting, with clever touches and interesting features to draw buyers into the development and surrounding area” Amanda Docherty Bond Developments (South) Ltd

“Inviting Val to become involved in specification and a show home in a second development speaks for itself. Her creativity and passion for Interior Design is tempered by common sense and a sound understanding of the practical requirements of our purchasers” Nihad Obagi Leo Developments

“Val, I have been down to site today and seen the show flat, we are absolutely delighted with the results. If that does not help to sell the flats, then nothing will!” Tim Bird Riva-Properties

“Commissioning At No 19 to design and source relieved us of a huge strain, when moving business premises recently.  The end result was a beautifully designed office within budget and at very short notice.  We have had a great deal of positive comment from clients and I would be happy to recommend Val to any business considering a move, where a good impression is important” Tim McConnell, McConnell Travel

“Val, thank you so much for your enormous help with the interior design of our new holiday flat, which we purchased ‘off plan’. It would not have been possible to achieve the superb overall finish without your expert guidance.  Your patience with our various whims and fancies was much appreciated!“ Michael & Dotty Large

“Moving house is always a stressful experience, particularly so when purchasing a property ‘off plan’. However, on this occasion you made the process so much easier for us, because of your vast experience and expertise in specification. Your knowledge skill and contacts are awesome! Thanks Val, you have two very happy and satisfied customers!” Tony & Margaret Coghlan

“Val, as you will know by now, I have successfully rented out my house.  With your assistance, the appearance of the house has been transformed and feedback from both letting agents and visitors has been uniformly positive.  My decision to engage professional staging assistance was totally vindicated and I am delighted that I was able to engage your services”. Richard Potter

Val, thank you so much for your Home Staging report.  We took up many of the recommendations you made, all of which were low cost options, but which made a huge difference to the end result.  You will be delighted, but not surprised to learn that the house went under offer almost immediately and we are hoping to move within the month” Kate & Matt King

Val, thank you so much for ‘staging’ our cottage for us; what you achieved in 24 hours was unbelievable!  Not only does the property look superb, but the practical solutions you came up with are exactly right for the holiday home market” Deborah Vaughan, Managing Director, Property Management & Letting Company (New Forest) Ltd

"The best part about working with Val Plummer is that she makes it all easy and fun! I had never worked with an interior designer before and wasn't wholly committed to the idea, as I didn't want a 'whole new look', I just wanted my things to look better and to give me more pleasure. I have a 'tired' flat in a mansion block in central London; small rooms + huge windows and too many possessions/stuff! I was about to splash out on new navy blue loose covers; I met Val accidentally and ended up not buying anything navy nor any loose covers!

I have ended up with a truly beautiful room which is both elegant and comfortable and which has made so many friends think that we had bought new things when we had not! Val helped me choose the right colours and fabrics for walls, sofas, lights, furniture and cushions. I am hoping that she will use my flat in some of her before and after photos as I just love it! Val is SO reliable and listens really well. she works to your budget and always gives you options. If you say 'I hate it', she comes up with other ideas. I cannot recommend her too highly. If I were selling my flat, I would use her immediately to get the best possible price for the flat as her 'preparing to sell skills' are great too." Penni J Cox
