“Thank you for your fantastic advice and sourcing of materials in order to hand make custom made cushions for our huge outdoor benches. I loved the tropical print cushions you added to the giant cushions, they really brighten up the garden and give it a summery feel!!!! I highly recommend NB Interiors.”

“I utilised Caroline’s two hour consultation service (£95) as I desperately needed some advice and ideas for my neglected 1930s hallway. As I don’t live locally, I gave Caroline some ideas and photos via text message about what I liked and didn’t like, my preferred colour palate, and what my priorities were. After some questions from Caroline and some very useful exercises looking at existing spaces and colours, and how we used the hall, she offered some simple solutions which were easily implemented. Simple things like changing the positioning of the existing lighting made a dramatic difference. Caroline then compiled a mood board for me on Pinterest with ideas for paint colours, storage solutions and suggestions for light fittings. She also made recommendations on how I could achieve a modern and coordinated hall that tied in with the existing 1930s features, yet wasn’t overly ‘matchy’. This was complemented with detailed information about sourcing items and recommending paint finishes. Caroline very cleverly sketched her ideas onto my original photo to give me an idea of what my hall could look like. This was really invaluable in helping me ‘see’ my new hall before I started work. I felt that Caroline very quickly ‘got’ what I was after. She was really friendly & approachable, responsive and offered really helpful, practical and straightforward suggestions. She didn’t impose her own tastes and encouraged me to develop my own. Initially I felt that I didn’t really know what I wanted but after conversations with Caroline, I began to gain confidence. I cannot recommend Caroline’s service highly enough. She was great fun to work with and the entire process was really enjoyable.”

“As an artist myself, I’m very particular with my aesthetic style, but I’m also very bad at explaining myself. This was not an issue for Beth. I had a very specific idea of Victoria/ industrial/ minimalist and most importantly on a budget! She took my vision and surpassed anything I could have hoped for! Firstly the artwork she picked was perfect for my taste. Secondly, any random idea I had she sourced and mocked up for me, nothing was too much for her. She was an absolute joy to work with and I am in love with the rooms she has made for me, I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

“Loved working with Ann and her team. Ann really listened to my requirements and produced the most amazing plans and design. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do and thought of ideas I hadn’t even considered. All of the trades she used we’re very good too and finished ahead of time and on budget. Thank you so very much”

“Gemma did an absolutely incredible job with our kitchen. She took such time and care to understand exactly what we were looking for as an end result. We had no previous experience of house renovations and she was wonderful at advising on both overall concepts / ideas, as well as the finer layout and design detail. Couldn't have done it without her. Not only that, but she was lovely to work with.”

“We have worked with Oliver on two jobs now where Oliver has been over seeing full renovation work and designed the interiors. Oliver is a pleasure to work with and communicates well as the job goes on. Oliver has a great eye for design and colour palettes which work for the clients brief and taste. We feel we are building a good working relationship with Oliver and hope to work together again in the future. Thomas Carpentry LTD”

“We used Canvas for the full interior design spec for our Apart Hotel in Southampton. We plan to create many locations over the South Coast so getting the branding right was essential. They took the brief and delivered it beyond our expectations. We now have a brand book to roll out across other locations. Our aim was design-led luxury but affordable for everybody. They totally nailed it. Highly recommend!”

“Very good professional service throughout the whole process. Pragmatic approach and able to come up with some good space planning solutions to the challenges we faced.”

“Justine worked with us on our family home that had descended into a chaotic mess of toys, awkward layout and furniture! She spent time with us listening to our concerns and digging deep into our personal interior taste and lifestyle. She presented us with ideas of storage, layout, usability, furniture, colours and materials. She has clever and practical ideas with a very high level of taste and design approach, she is also good considering budget when sourcing. We were so happy with the space Justine created with us and would highly recommend her to make your space work and feel like home!”

“I had my whole house renovated by acorn interiors and I found them fabulous to work with very highly recommended from start to finish excellent value for money would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family’s”
