Thank you so much Clair.” Rosalind Ward, Stillpoint. Bath
We moved into our Grade 2 Georgian house wanting to refurbish the house beyond our usual method of applying white paint everywhere. Clair guided us through the decision making on colour palette, curtains and lighting. Clair was excellent at listening to our view and interpreting them so that we arrived at a perfect solution that we would never have reached alone. Clair also advised on selecting a main contractor who were marvellous. We would highly recommend Clair and her team for your project.” Phil Burge. Refurbishment of Georgian Townhouse
Clair tapped into our taste very quickly and helped us to choose some beautiful colours, carpets and furniture for our house. We really love it and know that we can always call her for any extra advice should we need it.” Claire & Matt Cochrane. Contemporary 4-bedroom family home

Our stay at the Edge was amazing. Nothing could prepare us for how beautiful this place is. It completely exceeded all of our expectations and we enjoyed every moment. The fit-out and decor of the entire house is exceptional.” L Kamen. Ski home visitor
We would never have had the time or inspiration to have created an office environment that so effectively served our employees’ needs without Clair’s help.” Jonathan Legge, Finance Director, TRA. Bath
Clair and her team have provided a fantastic service. Over a period of many months Clair has steered our project with creativity and sensitivity. I am delighted with the result and grateful for her attention to detail. I have particularly appreciated how Clair has worked with the our builders and other suppliers to ensure all has run smoothly.” Deborah Limb. Georgian House Refurbishment

She’s professional and personable, and delivered to brief, on budget, and on time.” Rory Harpur, Crestmore Homes Ltd. Show home design and delivery
Thank you very much for your interior design work for the games room, the children are both very pleased and it has been a delight working with you.” Maria Heffer. Residential design and sourcing project
Thanks for making the office such a great environment. You have really captured the vision and brief.” Daniel Gillborn, Head of Commercial Operations. Bath
I am absolutely delighted with my drawing room redesign and refurbishment. Clair had wonderful vision and came up with an elegant design that transformed the room, incorporating the furniture and ornaments I wanted to keep and cleverly mixing them with new pieces. From providing the beautiful parquet flooring and rug, lighting, furniture, curtains and even a new marble mantlepiece, she ran the project from start to finish which made it such an easy process. We are starting on the next project as soon as we can!” Suzanne Helyar. Bath house drawing room
Working with Clair on two recent Bath projects has been a delight! One of Clair’s key skills is working closely both to the client brief and importantly, the budget. Our two highly successful projects were quite different, interior design for a student flat and a full refurbishment (including new kitchen and bathroom) of a bijoux holiday let house. Both projects exhibited the same traits – fantastic attention to detail, excellent client liaison, and an exciting element of surprise through a deft ability to source furnishings and specify design interiors with flair and style.” Penny Cracknell. Residential refurbishment and boutique holiday let projects
The biggest bonus of using Clair’s services was the time saved from her sourcing, ordering and arranging all the flat's work. Everything was done swiftly and efficiently and the results look great!” Diane Lee. Bath
I am hugely enjoying the flat. You’ve done a brilliant job and I hope I can use your services again.” Scott Fitzgerald. City centre flat design and refurbishment
We can’t believe this is our house. And the shelves in the dining room look incredible. We’re so happy!” Jude Hollingsworth. Bath
Clair did an amazing job in giving new life to my garden maisonette in Bath. The result added significant value to the property. Not only was the design outstanding, but she was also able to offer some wonderful practical solutions to improve my living space. She is hard-working and very pleasant to work with.” Aileen Anderson. Bath
Thanks so much for your help. Having a coherent plan has really made a difference and you have just got on with the job, making life much easier. You’ve been great to work with.” Sarah Robertson, Beacon Hall. Interior design and refurbishment project
It was a real pleasure working with Clair. She came up with lots of great ideas and was very good at understanding what would work for us. We were really pleased with the results.” Louise Neill. Bathwick
Proctor + Stevenson is an award winning international brand, marketing and digital communications company. For us undertaking a complete office refurbishment is no small task, particularly when you are taking a tired 1920s industrial unit, try to breathe new life into it whilst ensuring the costs are under control. Keeping the balance between 21st century needs and retaining the character and distinctiveness of its industrial past, is a careful balance of practicality, design and taste. It is not only about creating a wonderful space that people want to work and play in, but is also a manifestation of our brand. “We asked Clair to help us with our vision. Her understanding of space, materials and the practicalities of everyday usage were vital to us. Added to that her excellent design sense added significantly to the design atmosphere of the building. Her instincts and ideas have helped deliver a building that everyone loves to be in, and everyone loves to visit. Without doubt it has transformed our company and the desire of people to work with us.” Roger Proctor, Proctor + Stevenson. Bristol office refurbishment and fit out
Clair’s rare combination of artistic flair and business acumen was a key part of our successful downsize from a large period house to a smaller, high-spec home.” Pam McGain, Staff Consultant. Wiltshire
