“Lauren was wonderful when she came out to visit us. She came in with fresh ideas that I had not even considered after spending so much time wondering about my living room.  She worked around our likes and tastes whilst being firm, but reassuring about what would and would not work. We were very impressed with her. I would be more than happy to recommend her to anybody”.

If you are looking for someone to transform your home then Lauren is the person for you. From the moment we met Lauren we just loved her enthusiasm, kindness and fresh ideas. My husband and I live in a new build house and wanted to create a contemporary but warm and inviting home. Lauren had a tough challenge in meeting both mine and my husband different ideas but she managed to come up with a design which we both loved. Lauren is extremely patient and puts an incredible amount of effort into making sure she understands what style you like. We have had a huge amount of compliments on how beautiful our home looks but most importantly my husband and I just love it and will always use Lauren for any future projects. Thank you Lauren!

Lauren has designed the perfect home for me. My house was a blank canvas and I was finding it hard to visualise how I could make the space practical, homely and stylish. Lauren did it all! The mood boards she produced, the presentation she gave me and all the material samples helped me to get excited for the bold, colourful designs she’d chosen. The advice she gave on maximising the space, types of fabrics, the itemised shopping lists and overall enthusiasm to design my home has been fantastic. I highly recommend Lauren.

“Lauren had an intuitive capacity to present design ideas after taking a step or two into our lives and learning what we like and enjoy. Lisa and I are both diplomats and have served in many parts of the world accumulating furniture from a variety of interesting places. We were most impressed with Lauren’s capacity to pull these worlds together and embellish them in a manner that we have come to love and enjoy in our new home.  Her warm personality, creative instinct, and product knowledge make Lauren quite unique, and she is someone we have come to appreciate and enjoy spending time with since we first met her. Our friends and family have been universally impressed by the changes we have made on Lauren's advice, and we have already recommended Lauren's services to several friends and family.”

Lauren is absolutely amazing at what she does. I have used her in my past 2 homes, both new builds to make them more homely. She is so friendly and approachable and really understood what I was looking for. Happy to tweek bits if needed and great visuals to allow you to see how your home could look. Highly recommend her.

We had Lauren from Velvet Bloom Interiors plan a revamp of our lounge and WOW….she sure did deliver! Visited us on numerous times to discuss various ideas, always available on the phone, via email, text and was in control from start to finish….
Nothing was too much trouble for Lauren, we changed our mind a few times about things but Lauren was always on hand to help and advise with her vast knowledge and expertise on interior design...
We are delighted with the stunning finish on our lounge and will 100% be calling on the services of Velvet Bloom Interiors when it comes to doing our kitchen!
Anyone looking to re-decorate or want some interior design ideas then look no further than Lauren, absolutely first class service
Highly recommended

If it hadn't been for Lauren my wife and I would still be discussing our various but inconclusive ideas for our lounge and hallway refurbishment. We are so pleased we found Lauren. She immediately bought our attention to what mattered most in a very professional and personal manner. Living in an old property brings its own unique problems not least of which, in our particular case, the unusual shape of the room(S). She listened carefully to our requirements and proceeded to solve several issues that were concerning us. Subsequent visits to discuss her ideas followed and nothing seemed too much trouble and her attention to detail was impressive together with excellent communication. The provision of two mood boards enable us to home in on her recommended features, products and suppliers. We have no hesitation in recommending Lauren to you if you are looking for a personal interior design service which will exceed your expectations.

We used Lauren to design our living room/dining room and conservatory following building work to remove the wall between the living room and dining room. This was my first experience of using an interior designer and honestly I was worried about whether I would get value for money as I thought I could just choose my own furniture and layout. I am now a total convert to the world of interior design and will use Lauren again in the future when we makeover other parts of the house!
Lauren is very professional and personable - she listened to everything we said we liked/didn't like and took time to understand what we wanted from the space. She offered us multiple drafts of the work as we went through and explained how/why she would choose certain things for us.
She then produced a design which we both absolutely love - everything she chose looks amazing and most importantly almost without exception all her recommendations were things I would never have picked myself, but put together in the room in Lauren's layout they look brilliant and they tick all the boxes of what we wanted from the space. Walking through the design with her on her laptop/presentation screen and seeing it all mapped out was so useful to know if we were going along the right lines and to adjust course where necessary.
The completed room looks contemporary and is filled with furniture that wont seem dated quickly - she also helped to source a carpenter to build in some furniture/storage which makes the space look very polished. She also kept the costs down by using what Lauren calls "Ikea hacks" and that meant we got a lot for our money. I am really thrilled with the space and I 100% recommend Lauren for anyone considering a project - the service was fantastic and she really cares about delivering quality. She also sourced all the products for us and gave us a shopping list that made life easy. She balanced some higher end items with some more value items e.g. we have brass spotlights that were towards the more expensive end of others that are available, however they do look lovely and on the other end we have a dining table light from Matalan. That ability to invest in value where it counts was greatly appreciated as we got a really high quality finish without feeling like we were throwing money away - the range of suppliers balanced out nicely to deliver value for money.
