We communicte The boss spent time on personal shopping for me which is very helpful, but I never have a chance to meet up in face, just the first meeting to my house with her assistant and builder.

I highly recommend Krikla not only as a team of fine decorators but also as very effective project managers. Their structured approach is absolutely vital when you have to solve your interior design tasks quickly and with maximum aesthetic value. Our case was particularly challenging. We were moving to our rental terraced house much earlier than we thought and needed to furnish and decorate straight away. Although our house was a temporary accommodation we wanted to use the same furniture in the rental as well as the new property. This was a multifaceted project that required new pieces and decorative themes that would work both in the rental and the new home we planned to buy shortly. Krikla’s packaged service was ideal for us and we are very happy with their creative and pragmatic approach. More...

We highly recommend Krikla if you are looking for truly elegant and stylish décor, as well as fast and affordable service.
Our flat in Fulham is our second home and we did not want to spend a fortune on furniture and interior design service. We also wished to move as quickly as possible –in fact, as soon as we received the key for the apartment. Krikla’s approach is amazingly efficient and their package perfectly matched our needs, particularly taking in consideration we had only three months until the completion of the construction. We are delighted with the design of our flat.
Project Year: 2016
Project Cost: £25,001 - £50,000

We have now worked together with Krikla team on three projects and I have experienced their flexibility, drive to service the client and most importantly design prowess on each occasion. On a particular occasion they were not too proud to step away and revisit a particular detail which upon revision worked even better. I think that "professional humility" is an equally important factor for a designer. All in all, Krikla will fight for your aesthetic pleasure with a great value proposition! More...

We bought this small one bedroom apartment as a London pied-a-terre. Our family is based in the countryside, but we work in the city. We needed a place for occasional stay in London during weekdays. We liked a brand new flat and wished it to be a hotel style apartment and were happy to discover Krikla’s bespoke style services that helped us furnish and decorate the flat. Truly, Krikla has a convenient and comprehensive service, great value for money, and a creative outlook, all of which perfectly fit our requirements. They quickly worked out a smart hotel feel concept for our urban space, and we enjoy this new décor every single time we walk in the door. More...

I would like to recommend Krikla as a truly indispensable company expert in finding solutions for someone working on a tight budget. We wished to refurbish our house in Chelsea, but had a limited budget and Krikla had some truly brilliant ideas including creatively updating existing features and refreshing our furniture. More...

Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Krikla's interiors are in an eclectic style for one single reason. It gives an enormous flexibility to work with the individual tastes of our clients.
Eclectic style incorporates a mix of different design elements from various periods, styles and cultures. It is all about combining different pieces to create a cohesive and unique look that reflects the homeowner's personality and taste.

We offer both offline and online service. The communication method depends on your preferences and budget.
Concept design and space planning
From our detailed analysis of your client brief, Krikla offers two interior design style presentations along with a concept design narrative. These presentations include mood boards to illustrate the direction of the design style supported by joinery and furniture plans in accordance to the traffic flow and ergonomics of the room layout.
Technical design
Once you are in agreement with the design concept, we can then take a look at the technical design.
The stage when a concept is filled with details and gets an embodied in the form of a room, with light, electrics, flooring, doors, radiators etc.
We produce a significant number of technical documentation such as room elevation, fitted joinery design, kitchen and utility design, bathroom design, electrical and lighting design, door schedule, decorative specification/finishing schedule. The number of documents varies and depends on the project scope of works.
Budgeting
This stage is about your fixed and loose FF&E (Furniture, fixtures and equipment).
During the Technical design stage the majority of FF&E are selected, confirmed and specified.
Krikla now provide an itemized cost breakdown, calculate the entire investment and suggest how to optimize it.
It is always sensible to include a contingency amount here in case of shortages, delays or changes to any FF&E.
Procurement
A stage which looks easy and therefore manageable by the clients themselves. More often than not, this is a mistake and can cause a lot of time and stress.
If you are the owner of a one-bedroom apartment, you might be up to the task, but the larger the area, the more laborious the work becomes.
Do not overestimate your abilities. After all, it is not only about ordering materials and furniture, but also about coordinating deadlines with builders, tracking deliveries, dealing with delays, poor quality, lack of goods in stock, returns and refunds, search for replacements, and so on. We have the experience to manage such projects so let Krikla take this stage from you to ensure your refurbishment journey is calm and enjoyable.
Project coordination
During this stage we are responsible for monitoring the construction and the installation of fixed FF&E in accordance with the Design project. Krikla coordinates the jobs & contractors on site. We respond to design queries, and amend, updates and reissue design documents wherever necessary.
Krikla provide weekly and monthly reports on construction works progress, explaining the reasons for delays, informing about issues and offering solutions. Krikla schedules regular meetings with you and Building team as well as initiates off schedule meetings if needed. At Krikla, we take pride in making sure the client is fully onboard every step of the way.
