Family house extended to create new open plan kitchen / dining room leading out to the garden and a guest bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the first floor.

The project also included the complete redesign of the main living room, master bedroom with ensuite and dressing room as well as a new family bathroom.

 I was a little nervous about using an interior designer for the first time but we needed
help with organizing  and redecorating our awkwardly shaped living room.

I need not have worried. As well as giving us beautiful designs to choose from,
Jethro made sure that that the furniture and lighting arrangement was practical and functional. He was able to work with the items we needed to keep and suggested
realistically priced replacements where required.
Jethro kept within the budget and I feel he has helped me to avoid costly mistakes.

The final design is restful, looks natural and makes the best use of the space available.
I feel he has more than met the challenge I set him of updating my more traditional tastes.

I must also add that at all times I have been impressed by Jethro's speed and efficiency.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to others...

We recently had a large extension added to our Arts and Crafts house in Bournemouth as well as reorganising and refurbishing several of the rooms in the rest of the house. This resulted in having to design and decorate from scratch the kitchen and breakfast room, two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a family bathroom and one further teenage bedroom, quite a major undertaking.

I commissioned Jethro to do all the designs for the rooms (he had previously designed our sitting room and our home office which we are very pleased with.) During the building work, Jethro had to work closely with the architect, builders and decorators and he developed a good working relationship with all of them. He was always available for help and advice when the inevitable problems arose. Jethro certainly helped to make the whole process of the project a lot smoother than it would have been otherwise.

Having worked with Jethro before, I felt I was able to trust him to come up with contemporary ideas that I, and the rest of the family, would like. Jethro more than justified my faith in him; the result has been some stunning designs for every room, but the overall effect is also soothing and welcoming.

What impresses me about Jethro’s ideas is that he is not a slave to designer labels and fashion trends and is happy to incorporate high street and budget items where appropriate.  His ideas are always practical and functional as well as beautiful.
I am only sorry that the house is now finished and we have no more rooms left for him to design!
