I originally approached Karen during lock down having seen her excellent work on the Harrogate House and the 70's Living Room. Our rather tired, wonky and small detached garage offered a great opportunity for a new home office. Having hit the proverbial brick wall, we commissioned Karen for a day to provide layout, window and door position options/advice, then used her remote design service for the interior detail. Karen's creative flair and eye is for all to see in her projects. What sets Karen apart is her grace, intelligence, humour and firmness (when required) to shift your mindset to unlock what it is you are really looking for. It quickly becomes apparent that you are in safe hands. The depth of thinking behind her designs and importantly the fixture and fitting recommendations becomes apparent once you start delving into the detail. Karen works hard to find the most affordable solutions. A thoroughly enjoyable journey. Highly recommended.

Working with Making Spaces on an extension, ground floor remodel and total refurb of our three bed property has been fantastic from start to finish. From the very first chat about the architects’ plans (and a subsequent change which has transformed the space) to the finishing touches, Karen has been invaluable. She’s been approachable and non-judgmental whilst also steering us towards design choices that have created a home that we absolutely love. She has helped with sourcing products, layout issues, and even trouble with the trades. She is excellent value and we can’t recommend her highly enough.
I haven't worked with an interior designer before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. However since working with Karen - Starting in March 2020. Karen continues to impress me with her amazing ideas (Which are on a limited budget by the way) Karen is an absolute joy to work with - Her communication skills are excellent, always clear and quick to respond be it over the phone, email, instagram, pinterest etc - Never leaving a question unanswered. I am absolutely thrilled with the work Karen has done for me so far. The use of colour and pattern, careful thought into proportions, design details are all very apparent to me and people who visit my home. Karen also has a great practical mind in terms of placement of furniture and the non-move-able stuff like dishwashers, boilers, storage space etc. Karen is also highly adaptable in terms of styles - She knows how to nail everything, without necessarily being a fan of it herself. I can honestly say I wouldn't change anything regarding my dealings with Karen. Karen has very clearly surpassed all my expectations. A few bonuses I should point out that I didn't necessarily expect - Karen had lots of very significant trade discounts, a set of used and trusted trades people (All of which have proved to be very good for me) Karen is good fun to work with too! - I always look forward to the next appointment or call.
We chose Karen to help design a room in our Arts and Crafts house following a google search and finding some wonderful room designs that she had done. I just loved all the rooms she had done and really hoped we could work with her. She was really easy to contact and responded promptly explaining the option of remote design. It seemed to fit our needs and so we went ahead with it. I sent an email and a link to a Pinterest board detailing the dimensions of the room, what we would like to use it for and photos showing things we would like to include as well as images detailing our tastes. We then followed this up with a 1 hr skype chat where we could go through it in more detail. She was really friendly and instantly put us at ease. Once she had a good idea of our project she went to work and shortly after we were given the details of our design. I cant stress enough how happy we were with the plan. She took all our ideas and pulled it together in a fantastic design that we both loved. She managed to come up with ideas we never would have thought of but that also fitted our brief perfectly. We followed her plan pretty much to the letter and now are super pleased with the finished design. She really gave us the confidence to go bold with the design and I would thoroughly recommend her services to others. I feel we will definately be using her again in the future!
Karen is a superstar. We initially met on a colour consult for the hallway and after a cuppa and me moaning about our kitchen, she persuaded me the way to go was to put off the decorating and knock down a wall in the kitchen instead! This was a bit of a shock but after some discussions we went for it and the end result is amazing. The space has been totally transformed and it makes a difference to our family every single day. She is a true designer. I have also seen Karen recently to talk through the actual hallway, where she has given me the confidence to use colour everywhere and has shown me how to pull it all together (all walls still intact). She is incredibly creative and inspiring and I would not hesitate to work with her again.
