GALUCHAT

Marie Noelle was a delight to work with, she had great ideas on how we could modernise an old Edwardian home whilst also keeping its character e place. Her colour palates were stunning and she had an amazing sample range with her to allow us to get an immediate feel for her suggestions. The follow was even better with clear approach outlined for each room. Highly recommend working with Marie especially for contemporary and high quality ideas and designs.

It has been an honour and a delight to work with Marie-Noelle at Galuchat, capturing the beauty of the spaces she has created. Over the course of the last several years, I’ve seen her transform the ordinary into extraordinary! Having worked with many interior designers over the years in many beautifully designed spaces, I fear I cannot adequately describe the brilliance of Marie-Noelle’s work. Elegant, stylish, colourful, soft, comfortable, approachable, functional, and of course liveable are perhaps the best words to sum up the spaces you make. When entering one of the rooms she has designed, I cannot help but be dazzled by the attention to detail. The bespoke lacquered doors, the timeless ironmongery, the richness of the fabrics and the balance of form and function all come together perfectly. I have recommended Marie-Noelle to my friends and recommend her to anyone who is looking to bring beauty and practicality into their home.

Having worked with Marie-Noelle on several high-end residential and commercial projects, I could see she loves working with lush materials, but always with subtlety so the environment feels welcoming and warm. Unlike many designers, Marie-Noelle has a very openminded approach, always willing to discuss but also challenge her own ideas for an elegant yet functional result. There is a strong narrative aspect in Marie-Noelle’s work. Her designs always tell a story about the place, the people who live in or the products showcased. This sets her apart from many other designers, who too often copy-paste existing designs, always using the same iconic brands and products. There is always a very high level of commitment in all her projects, thoroughness, great attention to detail. Working with Marie-Noelle is always a great experience, I would strongly recommend Galuchat and Marie-Noelle for her talent in shaping spaces. Pierre Bachy Pierre Bachy Lighting Design

Marie Noelle of Galuchat understood my requirements and went the extra mile with the contractors who did not! I was pleased with her efficiency and suggested choices of finishes which translated well into my central London apartment. I would use her services again and do not hesitate in recommending her.

Marie-Noelle was recommended and she saved the day. Other designers had made unfulfilled promises. On our first meeting she set out her plans and terms and was direct with no hidden extras. She than visited the property (a small flat in Hampstead) and clearly had a vision of how it could look. I certainly did not. MN envisaged a glamorous apartment, feminine but in no way twee. Her choices of wall lights were tasteful and gilded. Ultra glam! MN showed me several choices online of tables, cabinets etc and together we made my choices. She was ultra patient when I included my two daughters in the selection process. It was an exciting experience and MN pushed the envelope when I wanted to play it safe. For example she thought that bold wallpaper in the entrance hall would make a statement whereas I was hesitant. I trusted her judgement and now have fab wall covering which is often complimented upon. Her relationship with builders on the project was firm and professional. On more than one occasion she helped me out of a sticky situation when the builders had flatly refused to change something that was incorrect. Overall the project is a huge success and I look forward to using Marie-Noelle again in the future for some final touches.

We hired Marie-Noëlle for advice remodeling and decorating our newly purchased house. Our plan was to add two bedrooms and a bath to an existing finished basement, and get ideas on colour and lighting schemes. Over the course of several video calls, she learned about our needs and provided plans and designs that incorporated our existing furniture and items. Galuchat's feng shui approach helped give the home a harmonious vibe and challenged us to rethink some room layouts in more creative and efficient ways. We are extremely pleased with the service and highly recommend it.

Working with Marie-Noelle of GALUCHAT proved a very rewarding process when I purchased my new home and needed to make it my own. Marie-Noelle empowered me to do so as she offered great options for fixtures and fittings, always allowing me the final word in choices among a carefully curated selection. She always managed to create a cohesive aesthetic based on my overall desires without foisting her views or being prescriptive yet guiding me towards the best decisions to achieve the aspired results. Her great eye, intuitive listening and holistic approach to designing around her clients' lifestyle and aspirations mean she allows her clients to have a sense of ownership of the project, which is so important when you have to live in the home! Working around problems as they arise, Marie-Noelle manages firmly yet diplomatically the trickiest of situations between site team, architects, contractors, suppliers - and clients! - working hard, diligently and always making herself available at the end of a phone. I would not hesitate to recommend her as I know her comprehensive range of services, attention to detail, tailor-made and solutions-oriented approach would prove decisive to the success of any interior architecture and design project.

Marie Noëlle is the consummate professional with excellent taste. She offers personal, tailored service to achieve the best results for her clients. I highly recommend Marie Noelle for any project, big or small!!!

Marie-Noelle had great vision for our space and we are very pleased with the end product. She was accessible and responsive throughout our project. She has a great network of suppliers and confidently managed the project. I recommend her highly!

Unbelievably talented interior Architect and Designer who brought my dream project to fruition, working remotely from London. The project was in Toronto during Covid. Impeccable style and taste; a master communicator; handled the chaos of Covid with unparalleled professionalism. Also handled my occasional indecision with so much patience and poise. The outcome of our project, a jewelry flagship in Toronto’s city centre, is really a work of art. The end product is even more stunning than I ever envisioned. I cannot recommend Marie-Noelle Swiderski’s work more highly. If you want to hire the best of the best, look no further.

Marie-Noelle has a great eye for design and does far more than just that. I purchased a property with two years left of building time and enlisted Marie-Noelle’s support at the beginning of the journey. I did not know what I wanted or what needed to happen over the next two years, so I am very fortunate that I had Marie-Noelle to guide me through it. Marie-Noelle was invaluable in helping to navigate the many stakeholders, as she dealt directly with the builders, developers and many suppliers we used along the way. She took control of the process and made my life very easy, with my input only required for the enjoyable aspects of the project, making decisions from well-researched and clearly laid out options she had prepared. She also saw the project through to the very end, holding everyone to account in closing out the finishing touches. Her French language skills were incredibly helpful as well with the project having been based in France. Marie-Noelle also went above and beyond what I had signed her up to do. She truly cared about the project and making it a great success, so nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The end product is a beautiful and wonderfully designed property which makes me smile whenever I am there. I cannot recommend Marie-Noelle highly enough.

Having spent years looking for the perfect location to build our dream home in the Alps, little did we know the hard work was all to come. Marie-Noelle held our hands through each step of the at times arduous process, ensuring that our vision was ultimately achieved. It honestly could not have happened without her especially since we were managing the project from London. From optimising the space planning around fixed restrictions, to her diplomacy in discussions with subcontractors, to bridging the cultural differences in “the way things are done here”, her local language skills alone proved invaluable. And all this before her highly personalised and responsive interior design service. We are absolutely delighted with both the end result and with the value she brought to the process (which we didn’t even realise we needed!) and would not hesitate in recommending her.
