We hired Ian of Home Decor on the recommendation of a friend who had used his services and spoke very highly of him — and we're so glad we did. Ian redecorated our lounge, including the ceiling, walls, and woodwork, and the results are outstanding. The level of workmanship is excellent, with clean lines, smooth finishes, and meticulous attention to detail throughout. Ian was professional, tidy, and respectful of our home at every stage. The space now feels brighter, more welcoming, and beautifully refreshed. Highly recommended — Ian truly lives up to his reputation. More...

I recently had Ian decorate my bedroom, and I couldn’t be more pleased. As an older person living alone, I really appreciated how courteous and considerate he was throughout the job.
He arrived on time, worked quietly and professionally, and left everything neat and tidy each day.
The finish is excellent — it’s made such a difference to my room. I felt completely at ease having Ian in my home, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone, especially if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced.
