Moving into a 5 bedroom Victorian shell where every room was painted magnolia, we renovated 4 marble fireplaces and came to an abrupt standstill; overwhelmed by the number of rooms to decorate and a realisation that none of our tired old furniture really suited the house.

Luckily Cathy and her team came to the rescue. They guided us through the design process, we began with the lounge, hallway and main bedroom, followed by the snug and 2 teenage boy's rooms.

Studio Dean’s ideas push you out of your comfort zone, at times you have to go with it and trust their experience; who would ever paint their woodwork any other colour than white? But the end result is outstanding!

Their attention to detail includes aesthetics such as flooring, wall colours, layering of textures and accessories but also and as importantly they carefully consider how you utilise and move through each space.

All this is backed up by their excellent trades people.

I used Studio Dean for a complete renovation and extension of my country cottage.

After showing Cathy the property and sharing ideas for the feel of the desired interior, she took the brief away to think things over. She returned and hit the nail on the head with the design.

Cathy & the team deeply consider the brief and has a justified reason for every element brought to the table. A professional interior designer is an understatement, they completely re-worked the proposed layout of the extension into something that made much more sense and injected a new dimension of excitement to the project.

Every minute with Cathy was spent with pure anticipation with thought of the next amazing idea she would propose!

In a nutshell, Studio Dean will squeeze value into your project you never realised was there.!

Spatial planning with Studio Dean has been a total game changer. We are a family of four living in a small house, with very little storage, and with a layout that just didn't maximise the limited space.

Studio Dean took a holistic view of the house and created a new layout that vastly improved the flow and functionality of the space that we had. In areas we had wanted to change, but just couldn't see a way to make it work, they found really clever solutions. With Studio Dean on our side we had the confidence to make those changes a reality.

I can't recommend Spatial Planning enough. Without this key step, I might have had a beautifully redecorated house, but all the original frustrations of the home would still have been there. I just wish I had found them sooner!

I’ve used Studio Dean now for 3 rooms which needed full reconfiguration & decoration, it has been the best money I’ve ever spent.

Layout, best use of space and the ‘flow’ of the rooms was my biggest challenge and now we have such a liveable ground floor, it works perfectly for us as a family.

Not to mention all of the decor, furniture & accessories are absolutely beautiful. I’m so happy with the results & I would definitely recommend!

Cathy and the team have helped us see our house, and the space within it, completely differently. Where we had seen walls (that seemed fixed and immovable) and limited options, Cathy helped us design a home we can’t wait to get to!

Cathy and the team are absolutely lovely. They took time to get to know us, our style, and how our lives work in order to develop designs that really work for us and are also beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of working with them and we re delighted with the results.

Cathy and her team at Studio Dean took an outdated, somewhat sad looking flat with tricky attic roof lines and transformed it into not just a highly functional space, but also created a beautifully chic, but still comfy and cosy home.

Working with Cathy was brilliant. She took our plans from good to incredible and created us a kitchen and master suite like we never would have thought possible. Cathy has endless solutions and solved problems we didn't realise we had!

Having completed the spatial design process with Studio Dean we moved onto the design process. This did not disappoint!

From start to finish the service is bespoke and detailed with plenty of visuals to show exactly what your rooms will look like along with materials and samples to physically touch and see.

Again the process is clearly defined giving you real confidence in knowing that the end product is something you will want to live with.
