Laura Porter Interior Design

I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. During our complete renovation (gutted property to floorboards, moved walls, and built an extension for kitchen), she has been involved in every aspect from the initial room design (maximizing the usuable space within a 1950s midterrace) to wall colour, tile style, and flooring. After an intial interview to gain a sense of who we are as a family, she has been able to perfectly recommend things that we would have never considered, yet her choices always fit us and the space perfectly. Our renovation mantra has become 'Trust Laura'. Her decisions have never disappointed and we are always amazed at how quickly she can 'size up' a space and start drawing her thoughts or handing us colour sample options. All of the workmen who have assisted with the renovation have complemented her choices and we have happily given our friends/family Laura's contact details. Through each phase of the renovation, it has been a pleasure having Laura visit and add a new energy to the next stage. I look forward to having her back again over the next few months to view her beautiful creation, that we have the privilege to live in. Thank you, Laura!

Laura ideas and visuals allowed me to see what the end look would look like, I have certainly got a design I would never have been brave enough to do without the visuals. I am so grateful and it was the best money spent to get a room myself and the husband could aim together on. Sofa on order, kitchen colour confirmed and wallpaper decided. Want to do the rest of the house now. Biggest thank you to Laura and once we have completed it we look forward to welcoming Laura back.

Laura helped with a lounge redesign project. From the first meeting, Laura was friendly and professional. She completed understood the brief and came up with two design, of which one of them we loved instantly. Laura provided a design board which provided us with the basis to see elements of the project come together. This is particularly useful when shopping. Laura also provided a number of drawings so we could see how the room would look from different angles. We received a comprehensive list of suppliers on email with links of where to buy the items, which was great to ensure we had the right products. Laura was on hand to provide any extra guidance at any point in the project. We are so happy with the final scheme and will be using Laura's expertise again in another room in our house. I would thoroughly recommend using Laura and have recommended her to a number of friends already.

My wife and I have struggled for three decades in getting the right finish in our each of our homes, despite our best efforts and considerable money spent we just couldn’t seem to find that right finish that we were both happy with. With out latest house, we decided to invest in some professional help. Wow, we are so pleased that we did. Laura designed three lovely rooms for us, we couldn’t be happier with the designs and the finish of the rooms. Laura’s extremely personable, her expertise and creativity is phenomenal, absolutely worth the investment, we cannot recommend Laura highly enough!

Laura is absolutely a 5 star service!! When we moved into our open plan house, we had no idea how to use the space or define the rooms. Laura stepped into our minds and created some beautiful designs for us to choose from whilst defining the living spaces. She continued to tweak the designs to make them absolutely perfect and offered helpful tips along the way. What she designed is so far from what we'd thought we'd go for but somehow it is absolutely everything we've dreamt for our home. It's just perfect for us and our family. From start to finish Laura has been involved in the project, recommending and helping us book decorators and carpenters and popping in to make sure everything was running smoothly (including being very specific about how she wanted our amazing textured wallpaper hung!) Everyone who has been to our house cannot believe the transformation. It's given friends a nudge to add a bit more wow factor into their own houses and of course, we'd recommend Laura if this is something you'd like for your home.

I contacted Laura as I was looking for someone to give me advice on what would be the best layout for my daughters bedroom. What a lovely lady! Laura came up with a brilliant layout and gave me some fantastic design ideas. The design included the IKEA Pax wardrobe system. She went over and above with answering all my questions, giving me supplier advice/recommendations. Laura also designed the Pax wardrobe for me and listed all the components and item numbers making it so easy to order and saving me hours. We love my daughters bedroom and I look forward to using Laura again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, I’m so glad I found her.

We were so lucky to find Laura. Ultimately professional, Laura took into consideration our existing decor and tastes and provided us with a range of options for decorating our living room. We loved her ideas and modern designs and were particularly grateful for her suggestions on colour and proportions. We have since asked her for ideas for our kitchen, cloakroom and principle bedroom, where she has created links & flow between the rooms but allowed each to have its own character & feel. Laura is such a pleasure to work with - it definitely felt like a team effort, with Laura subtly directing. She is a font of ideas, working to create a beautiful big picture, alongside an attention to the little things that can make such a big difference. Highly recommended.

I asked Laura to do a complete redesign of most of the ground floor of my large Victorian house. I wasn't really sure what I wanted, not having an eye for these things at all - I was overwhelmed! My brief was very vague - I wanted it to all flow together, I wanted to keep the traditional feel, but bring it much more up to date. Laura was fantastic and put a huge amount of work into the project. The initial ideas that she proposed I loved straight away. Laura was flexible and listened to what I liked and didn't like and worked that into the design iterations. The quality of the drawings and mood boards were incredible. I really appreciated the "shopping list" of furniture, lighting and accessories - and where I asked Laura to find alternatives due to cost, she was very happy to do the work for me. Laura visited several times so that we could fine tune designs. She is also very responsive to emails and has happily given me her opinion on various other bits of work I want to do in the house. In summary - I would thoroughly recommend Laura for her hard work, dedication and wonderful way she works with her clients.

Laura initially helped me choose my amtico floor colour for the downstairs of my new home. We have such a rapport that she has since helped me with the design of my new kitchen; created layouts for my new rooms with beautiful mood boards; produced an amazing paint colour schedule for my decorator and then helped me choose new curtains and blinds. We still haven’t finished and I will post photos when we do. Laura is a joy to work with as she is empathetic, punctual, professional & has an amazing eye for colour and design.

We have been working with Laura to map out our downstairs and then do some finer detail in our living room. We found her ideas to be really brilliant, and she was very easy to work with. She listened to what we both wanted, and was able to help us build our design over time. We have really enjoyed working with her and will be enlisting her to help us with the rest of the house when we are ready!

Laura has done a sensational job overhauling our cluttered, dingy lounge after we had failed to make any progress alone. We've now got a smart, spacious, and luxurious space. Laura was great to work with - responsive, dynamic, and good at listening to what we wanted. I am already using Laura's services for further projects in my home.

Laura did a space planning for our house renovation project and it was very impressive. Her work was very detailed and through, incorporated all our wishes as well. A very friendly interior design with a professional outlook, an eye for detail and practical ideas. Her designs helped us make the best use of the space and potential of the space. She also prepared a shopping list and suggested places where we can buy specific items. I would highly recommend Laura for interior consultation purposes. I hope to use her services in future again. All the best Laura.
