Paula Trovalusci Interiors

I needed help with the design and build of my extension in Kingston and Paula was instrumental in the entire process. She helped us select a builder, helped us design the open plan, told us a where to shop and where to avoid, etc We couldn’t have done the renovation we did without her and her team and have already engaged them for our next project. Thanks team!! A & M

Paula advised me on a colour scheme for my sitting room and hall/landing. She came up with ideas no one else had and the result is fantastic. She is approachable and professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to work with an interior designer.

I own a window company (Skyway windows Ltd) specialising in aluminium and high end timber windows. I had the privilege of meeting Paula at Esher BNI. Upon leaving the meeting, she assured me that she would refer 3 projects that she was working on, in order for me to quote her. True to her word I was emailed the quotes that afternoon. I knew from that moment that Paula was extremely punctual and genuine and that she expected me to return the quotes back to her in the same manner. I did and we have worked together ever since. She is excellent to work with. Very very thorough and she demands and expects a lot from her tradesman. All of the finer details are always discussed at the outset and there has never been a problem because of this. I could not recommend her highly enough. I would always go out on a limb for any job that she instructs me on. It’s always nice to go back to a job once we are finished and to see the standard of her work. It’s truly amazing.

Paula helped my husband and I to turn our first house into a home. We had lots of ideas (some conflicting) but we had no experience in renovating a house. We were not sure that we needed help from an interior designer but in hindsight it was one of the best decisions that we made. Paula was always calm and bright spirited as we navigated the challenges of renovating a house. She is an exceptionally good listener and always sought to find solutions that both my husband and I would value. She is an excellent problem solver and worked with us to make the many decisions that had to be made along the way. I feel like we have finished with a home that is fully us and a joy to live in.

We hired Paula to extend and remodel our Victorian terrace and could not be more happy with the results. We now have a home we absolutely love. From the start, Paula really engaged both of us to come up with our wants and needs and she worked so hard to achieve them. Interior design - really listened to what we wanted but added extra touches that have made our home either more practical or more "wow". I always felt she was very engaged in making it our home, always feeding in new ideas and making it better. Project management - Paula managed from initial design & planning right through to the cleaners the day before we moved back! Paula is very skilled at managing projects and all of the different contractors and suppliers. We had no gaps waiting for things to arrive (even though we were living through lockdown and supply chain delays) and any issues were handled brilliantly. She and her team also made such an effort to ensure minimum impact on our neighbours from the build. Contractors and suppliers - Paula has built up an impressive team to support her projects. The builders, carpenters, electricians were all really professional and and issues were addressed willingly and quickly. She knew exactly where and when to order everything - including a great deal on the kitchen and the flooring. She definitely saved us money on supplies. I cannot recommend Paula highly enough. I'm almost tempted to move house again so we can do it all again (maybe not for a while...)

I was very pleased with the excellent service provided by Paula. First of all, it was easy to arrange an appointment at my convenience. During the appointment she provided valuable advice and useful pointers in an area which I knew little about. She subsequently sent me a variety of detailed drawings as suggestions for my consideration. I found her very thorough and professional; it was a pleasure to work with her. Kartik.

Paula provides design inspiration, therapy (believe me the upheaval involved is considerable and emotionally challenging) fun (Friday TikToks with the crew) intelligent crew via her chosen contractor Magnani Solutions Ltd plus other talented specialists have made the last 3 months exciting and productive. I’ve lived in my tiny terraced house in Kew for over 20 years and I don’t want to need to leave it. I was intrigued to see her work for my much younger friend and neighbour who wanted to increase her space to accommodate her sons. Paula’s brief from me was to future proof and revive - she’s done exactly that. I now have a safe staircase which one day can accommodate a stair lift, a downstairs loo to die for, a refreshed kitchen customised to accommodate a wheelchair- should it be necessary plus funky touches, fabulous floor that hasn’t needed the sacrifice of one single tree, and a realigned bedroom.

I hired Paula to remodel my new house earlier this year. While we didn't do an extension, the entire ground floor had to be gutted to fix water damage and replace the kitchen. Paula and team did a great job. She worked within my budget and her team stuck to the very short timeline I requested. The construction team she brought in were respectful and tidy and always left the place cleaned up in the evening. This was especially important as I stopped by the house regularly with my young child. My build had a few fiddly bits such as with the appliances and the worktops and the wallpaper but Paula handled it all. In the few cases where a portion of construction/decorating was not done to my satisfaction, she liased with the contractors to have it redone correctly. I've reccomeneded her to quite a few people and will continue to do so.

I work alongside Paula on the commercial side and have been very impressed how she is so involved from the original concept, the building and finally the finishing touches. By no means, does Paula just do Interior Design. Her complete focus is customer service and I have seen that most work is a result of word of mouth recommendation, which in my opinion speaks for itself . There is no better way to trusting someone to come into you home.

I wrote a review for Paula in 2018, and since then have involved her in another 2 projects where both the clients and I are very happy with the result. The latest one completed under trying circumstances (lock-down) but Paula managed her team of builders that did the bathrooms and the kitchen supplier expertly under trying circumstances, and the client too are very happy with the result. Just embarking on another and looking forward to seeing her shine again! xxx

Trovalusci interiors were a fantastic help creating a beautiful family bathroom, in a challenging space and a new ensuite with lots of storage. Using a designer saved us a lot of money and we got a far more imaginative and professional result than we could have done ourselves. Paula listened and created something that was better than we thought it could be. We would not hesitate to recommend Paula Trovalusci.

Paula has such a delightful personality! That coupled with her passion, creativity and incredible knowledge of all things design makes working with her such a dream. She was able to get me out of my comfort zone (neutrals) to the wonderful world of colours and a little of edge without compromising on my own sense of style. She is an excellent communicator and open minded. Working with her is a truly pleasant experience. Looking forward to working with on more projects.
