Testimonials

Working with Ali and Pip was one of the best decisions we made after moving into our new house.

They completely understood what we were looking for and made the renovation process so hassle free, and the end result is even better than we expected.

We would definitely use The Design Co again and have already recommended them to friends and family.

Thanks both!

Stephanie & Chris

Pip and Ali are brilliant operators! They are full of ideas and suggestions and really make the decision process easy!

Firstly they came into our home and talked about what we wanted help with. We spoke about what was going and what was staying and they made observations and suggestions. They listen to what you want and ask questions about how the furniture will be used etc (incl understanding that the dog will be using it too... so must be practical!).

They have helped us with several projects around the house and we welcome their input every time!

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!

Peter & Rachel

Pip and Ali are true professionals, they have a fabulous eye for detail, extensive product knowledge & work with great suppliers. They listen to the brief and deliver what they promise. Excellent communication at all stages of the project with design briefs, product details, mood boards and detailed quotes. They are great at working to deadlines and are very organised.

Initially a skeptic, Paul is now a convert and understands the value The Design Co team bring to the project. We highly recommend Pip & Ali for your next renovation, no matter how big or small. We loved working with them and are now enjoying the home they helped us create. 

Sally & Paul

"We had Ali and Pip advise us on how to make our awkward living area work better. They worked their magic, and with rearrangement of existing furniture, two new chairs to tie it together plus some recommendations streamlining our “stuff”, what a difference. They were really easy to work with, and were professional, enthusiastic and creative. We look forward to working with them again on other areas of our house"
Sue & Peter

"When we needed help choosing colours, fabrics and furnishings during the renovation of our home we asked Ali Brown. We had seen another home where she had done the interior design and we loved what she had done. Our expectations were surpassed. Not only did she quickly get onto our wave-length as to what we were trying to achieve (and encourage us to be bold) she made the whole renovation so much easier and fun. She took all the hard work out of it for us by sourcing fabrics and furnishings and selecting colours while still giving us choices. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting her flair and professional, very reasonably-priced advice."

Rosemary & Jeff

"Ali was a lifesaver. Whilst I had built houses before, and pride myself on good interior design skills, I was completely overwhelmed and unable to make a decision on this occasion. We were building a new house, and decisions needed to be made, I had gone from confidently knowing what I wanted, to being crippled with uncertainty. And then came Ali. She quickly could see what I was trying to achieve, and with no fuss, confirmed colour choices for bathrooms, carpets, paint and tiles. She was just wonderful. She also spent time with me sorting through curtain samples, and demonstrated extreme care for detail in helping me create a unique design for my youngest girl's curtains. I would happily recommend Ali, and would use her again without hesitation. Thank you Ali for making what was a nightmare of a time for me, a dream outcome."

The Design Co are super skilled at creating beautiful spaces. We are still amazed at how they were able to come up with gorgeous customised designs but also pick up on issues with our plans just from looking at the papers. We absolutely love the high quality fitout and elegant home they have created. Thanks Ali and Pip you have really exceeded our expectations.

Ali OB

Great team. Ali was a fantastic consultant, taking time to really understand what we were after, she was very patient (and she needed to be!) and went out her way working hard to offer amazing ideas, sourcing sample materials and bringing a fabulous new look to our home. The real benefit of working with Ali was how quickly she got our style and thinking, which made the whole experience a lot of fun and exciting. Awesome!!!
