Emma Painter Interiors

Emma managed to capture my mood and requirements without visiting the house and create results that were very much spot on! She listened to suggestions, agreed and introduced changes or calmly pointed out why some of my ideas would not work. Emma managed to incorporate some of my old possessions and furniture in the new design, which made the solution very practical. Emma was a pleasure to work with and I am very pleased with the results.

Emma helped steer me through a major house renovation where the number of decisions was, at times, a little overwhelming. She absolutely got the look I was trying to create. She was incredibly patient and answered a multitude of questions. Her prompt replies were pragmatic, always timely and were considerate to the limited budget I had. Emma provided me with confidence on how best to proceed or which ideas worked best. I very much valued her opinion and wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.

We engaged Emma to help us restyle our sitting -room following a complete renovation of our original 1920's parquet flooring. The main nub of our theme was seaside with a nod to art-deco., but it was also essential to keep the cosy feel we wanted. Emma listened at length to what we wanted and put forward ideas that we certainly wouldn't have thought of on our own. The result is fantastic and we would recommend Emma to anyone who needs assistance in achieving their design dreams. I would also add that that the workmanship for the decorations, curtain and blind making was first class.

I was struggling to make decisions about the interior layout and decoration of a new extension to our home. Emma's advice and ability to carefully guide my husband and I through the steps necessary to achieve our desired space was excellent. I would strongly recommend Emma and really appreciated her professional and friendly approach.

I reached out to Emma when I was struggling with a colour scheme for a loft conversion and ensuite in my 1960's bungalow, which was the start of a whole house renovation. Emma listened carefully and made sense of the jumbled ideas I had in my mind and came up with a beautiful scheme that far exceeded my expectations yet fitted my budget. Emma is hugely passionate about interior design, she is brimming with creativity and enthusiasm and possesses a natural eye for colour and textiles. I have no hesitation in recommending Emma and look forward to working with her again in the future.

The Studio After almost 40 years of ownership and many years of DIY we were faced with the rather daunting realization that professional painting and restoration of the whole outside of our grade II* listed Queen Anne house and outbuildings was necessary. The most pressing item was a 1950s studio that had fallen on hard times, (latterly had been used as a furniture repair workshop and needed a new flat roof covering and revisions to wiring and plumbing), so as to get it ready in time, in the first instance, for multipurpose use in our Spring town festival. Emma Painter supported us throughout and produced a sympathetic colour scheme for the whole, supplemented in the studio - at comparatively modest cost - by a wonderfully imaginative and integrated array of curtains and blinds - including a winning 50s style lampshade. It was all, but especially the studio, enormously appreciated and complimented by visitors and set the scene for some very happy events and remains for us all a source of continuing enjoyment.

A very difficult small cloakroom. Emma provided some wonderful ideas and solutions that we had not thought about! Budgets and deadlines were met - the contract administration was very efficient, with so many tradesmen to co-ordinate for such a small space.
