“I had a Design Hotline session with Siobhan last week over Zoom. We had recently moved home and our bedroom is spacious, but lacks storage and a cohesive look that would make it the truly restful space we would like it to be. Siobhan had some wonderful ideas about colours and furniture that would combine my need for colour, personality and pretty things with my husband’s need for plain and simple, and incorporate our combined need for plenty of storage. Siobhan showed me websites to explore with attractive, compatible (but not cookie-cutter) pieces that would lift the character of the room and work within my budget. Very importantly, she was sensitive to the character and period of the house in her design choices. It is really quite remarkable what Siobhan managed to achieve in a remote session without ever having set foot in the house. Afterwards she sent me very comprehensive notes so I could access the resources we had discussed with ease. I shall look forward to implementing Siobhan’s suggestions and creating a tranquil space for us to rest in. “
