Alwa Interior Design Studio

We had a great experience with Alicja ! She made several mood boards with different options for each room, which was awesome because it gave us plenty of choices to pick from. She also did a great job incorporating pieces and furniture we already had, making everything feel really personal and cohesive. On top of that, she came very prepared to our meetings and had answers for all our questions, which will make whole process so much easier. We can’t wait to see it all come together and we highly recommend this service!

Alicja was fantastic. We have put a lot of work into a beautiful home and needed a professional to ensure we approached key rooms with the right options. The options Alicja gave us were fantastic and gave us variety but within the scope of ideas we gave her. It was refreshing to have new ideas but that still aligned to the style we were looking for. Also, we were always afraid of a designer pushing us towards very expensive items but she was able to find that right balance and give us plenty of options.

I worked with Alicja to reimagine the ground floor of my home, including the lounge, dining room, entryway, and converting a garage into a utility room and separate office space. She was attentive throughout the project and communicated well, keeping me updated at each stage. Alicja took onboard my feedback at each stage of the design development. Her room renders gave a clear vision of the final look, and the shopping list she provided will make it easy to source everything she recommended.

We found Alicja's website online and requested her to do the intereior designing of our new home. She was a very friendly and flexible person to work with.She has always listened to our ideas very carefully and has delivered the best interior design idea for our new home. We always wanted a calm,relaxing and elegant home and Alicja did a great job in meeting all our expectations.We actually felt like she had read our minds. Overall we would highly recommend her services.

I was very pleased with the interior designs Alicja created for my two-bedroom flat which was very much in need of a refresh. Her final designs were both inspirational and practical, combining creative use of space with a strong aesthetic appeal. Alicja was receptive to feedback throughout the design process and flexible when it came to arranging meetings around my busy schedule. She was a delight to work with and I would gladly engage her again on a future project. I have no hesitation recommending Alicja to anyone seeking a talented interior designer!

We found Alicja's website online and it has been a wonderful experience working with her, we had requested colour palettes and also some design work for the interior of the house. Alicja has been courteous helpful we had zoom meetings with her to make sure we were happy with her service and also to provide any feedback regarding the work. if there was something that needed to be amended she always made sure we were happy with the work.We loved the colour palette Alicja provided for us and also the drawings she had made for us.

I hired Alicja to help me find themes, designs and concepts for my new 2 bedroom flat. She was great right from the start. Talking through the process, a home visit to see the space first hand, and then mood boards with design options and finally a suggested shopping list which made it really easy to find and buy the items included in the design. Alicja really listened to my likes and preferences when doing the design so I ended up with something which really suited me individually. Highly recommended.

Alicja was fantastic, really understood our wishes and delivered something that was both on brief and surprising at the same time. She's, also delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed the process

Alicja did a wonderful job and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. When we first got in touch we had recently moved into a newly built home with an open plan kitchen, living room and dining area all in one room and a completely blank canvas with white paint on the walls and no furniture. We were a bit overwhelmed and lacking ideas as to how to make a room with three distinct areas but that was all tied together as one. This was one of the things we asked Alicja for help with and we're very glad that we did. She listened very carful to our ideas and requirements which she incorporated in her design options - but also wasn't afraid to share ideas and expertise to help us challenge our own assumptions where appropriate. Alicja managed to create a design that we could never have arrived at by ourselves but that still felt very much our own. Alicja did a great job of finding the contractors required to complete the required work to implement the designs and ensuring that it was executed in accordance with her very high standards. Overall I would highly recommend Alicja's services.

Ms. Alicja is exceptionally friendly, helpful, and professional. We chose her "consultation" service, and she arrived at our home well-prepared with brilliant ideas. Even after completing the scheduled consultation, she generously shared her insights on other areas of our house. By the end, we not only knew exactly what we wanted but also gained fresh and innovative perspectives on our living space. Thank you, Alicja!

It was such a thrill to work with Alicja. I contacted her for a mood board design service and she captured everything I wanted with specific attention to my style and design preferences. I was so pleased with the service and looking forward to setting up my new living room! I highly recommend Alwa Interior Design Studio.

Alicja, did an Interior Design Consultation session for me. Right from our first call, she was highly professional, listened carefully and took note of what I said. Before she came around to the house, I was impressed by how much work she had done to make moving forward with the project easy for me. I really liked her ideas and she had some great options to choose from. Alicja is a pleasure to work with and if you get a chance to do so, grab it!

Alicja was advising us on the decor of our open plan kitchen/dining /living room. It wasn't an easy ask as there were a lot of constraints to take into account: part of the finish had been done before we bought the house, we wanted to keep some of our old furniture, and the area had a tricky T shape with a long and dark living room part. We were also particular about how we want to use the area and our priorities. So not the easiest set of customers, I bet. Alicja built an excellent rapport with us from the start, made us feel at ease and listened to our, sometimes conflicting, wishes with patience. She took them all into account and came up with some fantastic ideas to help us finish the decor. She gave us a few options to consider, and helped us build them out. Her advice was very practical and easily implementable. She had preselected samples of flooring/paints/wallappers to help us find the right fit. Where she made recommendations for specific furniture/ items, she took the time to explain what was "right" about them, so that we knew what to look out for if we wanted to find alternatives. She spent several hours with us at our home sharing her ideas, and I'm sure at least us much in preparation for the consultation. She was very enthusiastic throughout the whole session and left us feeling very excitedly about implementing her ideas. We also know which mistakes to avoid. We only wish we had engaged Alicja sooner!

Amazing! We moved into a new build and decided to knock down a wall to make a large open plan floor including kitchen, dining and living room. We needed help with the design of the entire floor and were so lucky to find Alicja. From her first visit she was very friendly and professional, took time to discuss requirements and accommodate tweaks using an effective step-by-step process that ultimately delivered a beautiful and creative design reflecting our personalities and completely transforming the space with style and convenience, definitely exceeding our expectations. We would never be able to achieve anything remotely as good on our own, so thanks Alicja! We'll soon be focusing on the upstairs floor and can't wait to be blown away by her work once again :)

Alicja is very professional, has great recommendations and really worked with us to meet all our requests and the style we were after. Definitely recommend Alicja!

Alisja gave me a highly professional service and inspired me with her design and colour scheme and gave the confidence to complete my bathroom project.

She was a great designer that listened to our needs. It was a pleasure to work with Alwa.

Alicja beautifully designed my living room two years ago and I've consulted with her again for my dining room update. Once again, she really listened to my ideas and visions for the room, including designing around a few irreplaceable pieces of furniture and artwork. Her design was a stunning combination of colours and wallpaper that perfectly portray my vision for the room. I'm very much looking forward to completing the project and am looking forward to working with Alicja again on future projects!

Alicja is excellent and was super professional from start to finish with our design experience. She listens to your needs and works hard to come up with some amazing designs. Working with Alicja was a real pleasure and we are so excited to see the end result. We thoroughly recommend her. Thank you!

We had been putting off some refurbishment work to our home for ages, until we discovered Alicja @Alwa Interior Designs. Alicja has been an absolute revelation with the work she done on our home office in the most timely manner, and to the highest quality. Take a bow Alicja you’ve earned a thoroughly satisfied customer. I would highly recommend Alwa Interior Designs with a 5 star rating. Thank you Alicja.

We purchased a new home this year and the generous sized rooms presented us with some unique challenges. When we first met Alicja, we were impressed from the start about her philosophy that your home and the objects in it tell a story. That gave me comfort in knowing that she would take the time to understand who we are and thus help us make our home and our stories shine. No cookie-cutter approach here! She was also flexible in her recommendations and helped us better understand and solve some challenges we had. We were also so thrilled by Alicja’s wonderful creativity that simply pours out of her. Even the simplest changes she suggested “on the fly” made a big difference to the way a room felt. Working with her was an absolute pleasure and I cannot recommend her more highly.

We wanted interior design advice to update and upgrade our lounge and dining room in our barn conversion. We had some views of what we wanted to keep, and Alicja was quick to acknowledge these and to work with us in putting forward some excellent design ideas. Many of which we would not have considered previously. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alwa to anyone thinking of seeking interior design advice. Alicja was clear about what her charges were and services included, we communicated by phone, zoom and in person and Alicja was always amenable and helpful and a joy to work with. We continue to put her ideas into practice as time and funds allow. Thanks Again.

When we decided to buy our first home, the main consideration was whether to work with an interior design or not. It was crucial to find someone who understood the vision and concept of our plans and bring those to life with the budget we provided. We immediately liked Alicia because she carefully listed options tailored to specific requirements. Not only was she a local resource, Alicia has excellent taste & resources; she also turned out to be a real people person in our first conversation. Big design projects aren’t easy – it requires a lot of patience to navigate potential pitfalls. An experienced interior designer will produce functional and creative solutions where needed. That is precisely what Alicia did. She responded to our design dreams every step of the way. Once we shared our brief, she turned it into a workable framework without imposing her own tastes. She always knew how to deal with unforeseen challenges. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the service and expertise. My garden is up next, I’ll be going back to Alicia (‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’, as they say!).

It was a pleasure working with Alicja and we are delighted with the result. She came as a recommendation to help us make-over our sitting room. From the start, she really took time to understand our tastes and needs. We felt that she offered us enough varied options but not too many to overwhelm us, and listened to our reactions, adapting quickly. Charming, easy to work with - with a good sense of fun. It was an enjoyable process! We're so pleased with the result and would recommend her whole-heartedly

We were stuck for ideas for our living room layout. We contacted Alicja who, after an initial face to face meeting, quickly came up with a number of suggestions including some that we would never have considered - which was something that we wanted. Through what was very much a collaborative process she came up with a plan which we are now looking forward to putting into place. Alicja listened to what we were looking for, had some great ideas and was a pleasure to work with.

Excellent work for us again second time round, this time with interior design (first time was layout planning). Alicja was been so helpful and we love the design she has come up with. Thank you so much

Accessible, attentive with great ideas, Friendly Thanks for all your help.

Alicja was amazing, her vision and enthusiasm is endless, an inspired internal layout change meant we no longer needed an extension we thought we needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone, on any budget. My only wish is that we had employed her sooner, we'll be back for the next stage very soon.

We are very pleased to add our review for Alicja for her role in transforming our virtually derelict bathroom into a stunning, breath-taking bathroom. But more than the result, the journey was even more amazing for with our derelict bathroom we had no idea what to do: enter Alicja. It did not take long to discover that she was a very talented designer with a great capacity for elegance, but her best quality however, is her acute empathy, the ability to listen and and bring out what our ideal bathroom should look like, and she stayed with us long into the evening till we all reached the end. But the design drawing was not the end, she then proceeded to source the market, with her knowledge, to get all the items we needed: but we played a very involved role with her, but it was her advice that was becoming more and more our reliable guide. But her service did not end there either, we actually went shopping with her, to get the parts, which if we had to do it on our own would have been so daunting: dealing with so much choice, sizes, styles and staff...so much stress avoided. But Alicja's influence did not end there, we decided to use her contractor to fit our bathroom, because of the trust that had grown between us, and we were not disappointed. The contractor was truly excellent, but the main point is that Alicja is always at hand to help us guide the contractor in certain ways we wanted attended to, but more than that Alicja keeps in contact with how the "project" is progressing not because of any contractual matters, but because it is so important to her to see her design come to fruition, and look great, the wqay it was designed...it was personal. Anyway, in conclusion,, working with Alicja, you will be completely assured that you will have a very talented designer who is highly empathatic, and committed to you and her design, and you will be assured of her very best efforts at all times.

Alicja recently created designs for our kitchen, utility, lounge and dining room and we can't wait to start making the changes. She understood my taste perfectly and delivered creative solutions that I couldn't dream of. The kitchen design needed to be suitable for home use but as I'm a cake maker, it also needed to work for my business. Not only is the final design absolutely wonderful, Alicja also provided some very clever short term changes that I've made my life easier and still look great. She's also lovely to work with and is very good at communicating and managing expectations. I hope to work with her again in the future on other parts of the house.

I've recently asked Alicja's help with a remodel project for my ensuite and she has been very professional and always attentive to my needs throughout the whole process. Not only she has been able to create a bespoke design according to my exact personal taste, she has also employed manpower of extreme high quality and I will never thank her enough for what she's done. I am very very happy with the result!

So glad I found Alicja on houzz! Although I thought I knew what I wanted Alicja provided the expertise I needed to remodel my ground floor living space which involved opening up our lounge /diner and kitchen/ utility room. Alicja is extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. Ideas, advice and excellent design plan achieved involving refreshing the design along the journey.

I asked Alicja to help me to put our house ideas together and advised colors, some furniture, flooring... Its was fast and really inspiring cooperation. Can't wait when I will see it in real:)

Alicja was asked to design drawings to accommodate a wet room for our son who has a disability. Me and my wife found Alicja from the very start to be very professional. Alicja listened to all our requirements and stuck to the brief. We are very happy with the options that Alicja has given and we will be asking her to project manage the work on our bathroom in the future. I would recommend Alicja if you are looking for good professional interior designer.

The scope of this project presented many challenges - following a flood it was necessary to refurbish the whole ground floor of a Victorian cottage in grand style, combining the heritage nature of the original property features with modern elements and materials. Alicja was enthusiastic, diligent and conscientious from the beginning and presented some interesting concepts which we could refine, eventually coming up with the final designs for each space which we are now in the process of delivering. Unfortunately the work is taking longer than expected, and we now have a target completion date around April 2022. Alicja remains on the case to answer queries and we are pleased to have engaged her for the project. Recommended!

Alicja, thank you for the great work and consultancy, absolutely outstanding! Highly recommended!

Alicja did such a great job helping us decide the final layout of our renovation. We had been struggling for ages and now we finally have a plan. Thank you so much Alicja we look forward to working with you again in the future.

We needed some help to revamp our little 2 bedroom semi, and make it special. Alicja came along, such a lovely happy person, took our remit away and presented us with some excellent ideas for the living area and the two bedrooms, which we would never have thought about doing. Some things we have taken on board, and some we have decided not to. She is very thorough and most obliging and we wish her continued success in her designer business.

Alicja, helped us with our living room. She's easy to work with, listen to your needs and keeps you updated every step of the way. Really enjoyed working with Alicja. Thanks.

What a star! We are so pleased and excited with all that Alicja has designed for us. My husband and I moved into a new build six weeks ago and needed guidance, first of all with designing the living room area. Alicja has exceeded our expectations with her amazing designs, including suggestions for seating, flooring, curtains, ornaments etc., all of which are beautifully colour coordinated. Everything is so different to anything we have attempted before over many years of decorating our previous home. She is very passionate about her work, so kind, thoughtful and efficient. She has made our move even more of an exciting and happy adventure at quite a late stage in our lives. Next stop is our kitchen/diner. We can’t wait to see what she has in store!

Could not be happier with the designs from Alicja for our house renovation. Her design ideas were creative, she really understood our preferences and what we wanted from our spaces and tailored her approach to be personal to us. We had Alicja design our entire house, a 19th century barn conversation, each space works beautifully on its own but what we really love is the synergy that she designed throughout the house. The customer service we have received from Alicija has been outstanding, she was always available and put 100% into answering our questions or listening to our thoughts no matter how big or small. Alicja's friendly bubbly personality made her a joy to work with, which is especially helpful for what can be a stressful time (renovations). The service was great value for money. She really has gone above and beyond for us on this project, I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and would certainly user her again!

Alicja has a great instinct for design and she gave me both practical and creative ideas to optimise my space and lay out. Always professional, she responds quickly to emails and calls and was always on hand to give me measured advice in the face of my design dilemmas. She was also very thoughtful and brave enough to speak her mind when I needed a prod (and to also consider my own needs when configuring the space - not just those of my kids!) I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for creative inspiration, guidance and a new way of looking at the same old space. Looking forward to using her again on my next design project.

Very good designer with amazing inspirational ideas to make your house into a home. She was wonderful in sharing brilliant concepts and really added a unique touch to my home. Very efficient in responding and did a exceptionally high quality job. I would definitely recommend and her fees were competitive. Really hands on Interia designer and produced high quality work.

Alicja has been integral to our extension / ground floor redesign project - thanks to her vision our extension ended up being even better than we thought it could be and now we have the perfect space that we always wanted. She's extremely patient and knowledgeable, managing to find the middle ground between what my husband and I wanted but still deliver a beautifully joined up design that we both love.

An excellent design service from Alicja. It was a project with a twist for Alicja and she rose to the challenge! So I had made a very good start on my home interiors of several rooms but needed expertise to bring all the rooms together with a stylish flow. This was certainly done to the highest standard with Alicja. Suggestions of glamorous pieces and accents colours has given my home a new lease of life and saved me hours of searching myself. Alicja listened to my brief and gave the best response! Definitely choose Alicja for designing a room from scratch or a project like mine! Great value for money too. Carolyn.

I worked with Alicija for a full renovation of my 300-year-old cottage. From the outset, Alicija was professional, friendly, and pleasant to work with. She took the time to understand what I was after and came with creative and inspiring suggestions. Her process was easy to follow and effective. It wasn't the most straightforward of jobs and I probably wasn't the easiest of clients but Alicija stuck with the project until the very end, and even after. I have had many compliments from anyone who has seen the house. And I feel very happy in the space now. I would highly recommend Alicija to anyone who wants a designer that will listen to them and provide a variety of appropriate suggestions.

Alicja absolutely nailed the re-design of my living room. She really took the time to listen to me when we discussed my ideas for the room- colours, how we use the room, etc. It was also important to me that we incorporate my existing furniture into the design. Alicja was not only able to re-design around my furniture, but she also incorporated my existing drapery as well. She has managed to completely transform my living room from a very dated, dark and masculine-feeling room to a light and beautiful entertaining space.

I was pretty unsure how I could make a very plain bedroom into a amazing bedroom. Alicja helped to put my mind to rest with amazing ideas and colours/patterms/ additional decor and furniture to brighten up the room and look fabulous. She was assuring and explained everything and changed colours and was calm and efficient to work with. She listened to our wants and did not hesitate to hear my opinions and change colours around. I thank her for all her hard work she also sent through links where I can buy everything from which would of been a lot of work for me. I thank her for all her efforts and excellent ideas, I would highly recommend her.

We had never used interior designer before but would have no hesitation in using Alicja again. She visited us,took our feedback on board and end result is outstanding.Creative ideas, strong opinion but also willing to listen and to work with us to make sure we got what suited us. Above all she happily responded to the endless requests for different ideas on colour scheme. Highly recommend Alicja at Alwa Interior Design Studio. Thankyou Alicija xx

Alicja came to our home to give us design ideas for our living room. Alicja was very friendly and courteous, she listened to the type of feel we were looking for in our living room. She came up with a superb design which we loved. Alicja sent us a mood board with all the things we discussed. She also sent us all links where to find all the items. Brilliant service can't recommend enough.

After recent building works I contacted Alicja to help me with dressing our family space. The ideas and pieces presented to me were just amazing and all things I had not even considered. I would recommend Alicja’s services and will be using her services again myself.

I met Alicja on Houzz when I was looking to redecorate and modernise my home. Right from the start Alicja and I got on like house on fire. She was patient and professional. She listened to my ideas and fed this into the theme, colours and design of the rooms. She was hands on and worked to a very tight deadline and what was most important to me was that she made suggestions and recommendations on accessories and items that were classy and elegant but most importantly within my budget. I plan to move in a couple of months, Alicja will definitely be my go to designer on future projects! 3 words describe my experience with Alicja - CREATIVE, PROFESSIONAL and FUN!

We had great fun working with Alicja, she understood our very particular needs and opened our thoughts to options we would never have thought of. Alicja was very efficient sharing her ideas once we had our initial meeting and we couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Alicja for your help, we wouldn't hesitate to contact you again for further projects :-)

Alicja has done a great job for us and our new home. She is an excellent designer, with great understanding of details, attention to client's needs, creativity and enthusiasm. She's gone beyond what was initially agreed, and provided us with great advice and support. She is very professional, reliable and commited to work. Highly recommended!

We chose Alwa Design Studio to carry out a complete restoration to the ground floor of our home. The ideas Alicja presented to us impress us so much and the end result was beautifully clean and to a high spec. We now have the perfect party space and our guests have enjoyed it so much. Thanx Alwa Design Studio Paul P

I have always been impressed with Alicja's creativity and visual strengths as an interior designer. But more than that, her ability to firstly listen and then to deeply understand the needs and desires for a space is just as powerful. Alicja projects her unique ideas with real passion and impact - and that also sets her apart.

Alicja has amazing vision, I asked her for professional advice on how to update a newly bought home to have a more stylish, classical look from an outdated decor. The ideas she came up with really did take my breath away, she has a keen eye on detail and a real flair to fully engage with you to understand what you truly want, and then delivers it

I've known Alicja for many years and had a chance to work with her on a project. Alicja's hard-working, committed, working to tight deadlines and a great addition to a project requiring flexibility. I value Alicja's creative eye and unique approach to designing spaces. I wouldn't hesitate recommending her and I look forward to working with her on future projects.

As a trained interior designer myself I can spot those with a real talent very quickly. A quick glance through Alicja’s website told me straight away, that this was a designer who understands her craft. Her use of colour and scale, together with ability to surprise and stretched the boundaries, meant she was someone who I actively seek to work with. I have now worked with Alicja on a couple of projects and have always been amazed by the results that she achieves. She is not only a great designer, but a lovely person who is great fun to work with. I hope to complete many more projects with Alicja in the future.

Alicia helped me redesign my leaving room and it was amazing! She truly understood the emotions I wanted to achieve with the new interior and made my leaving room my perfect space! Working with Alicia was fantastic, she was creative and quickly put my random ideas into a cohesive plan. She simply understood me and my house :-)
