Working with OC Interiors was an absolute delight! From the very beginning, they exhibited a true passion for design and a keen eye for detail.
Their team's dedication to creating beautiful spaces that truly reflect their clients' personalities is evident in every project they undertake.
One of the things that stood out to me the most about OC Interiors was their ability to listen and understand my vision. They took the time to get to know me, understand my style preferences, and really incorporate that into the design. Their attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the space was carefully considered, from the color palette to the furniture selection.
The level of creativity and innovation displayed by OC Interiors was truly impressive. They brought fresh ideas to the table while still respecting my personal taste. The result was a space that felt unique, stylish, and perfectly tailored to my needs.
Not only did OC Interiors deliver on their promises, but they also maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. I always felt like a valued client, and any concerns or questions I had were addressed promptly and professionally.
Overall, working with OC Interiors was an amazing experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and passionate interior design team. They exceeded my expectations and created a space that I absolutely adore.

Repointing
I cannot amend or delete my previous review, but since posting it Cristian has been in contact, explained what happened and has come and completed the job and I’m happy with the work.
I believe it was an unfortunate incident that led to the original miscommunication and that under normal circumstances the job would have been completed effectively and without any complications.

Repointing
Started very well; fast response and seemed to understand the requirements of the job. Came on time and worked hard for the first 2 days, including persuading me that the small repointing job I had initially asked for was worth extending to cover the whole wall, as it was all soft. However, he then stood me up 3 times after promising each time he would be there and is now not answering my messages any more. I’m left with a half finished job and a wall that isn’t waterproof, so I’m really unhappy at this point and cannot recommend him. I know there were some extenuating circumstances around his failure to turn up on the first 2 occasions, but when these things happen, clear comms is important. If you cannot finish the job, say so. That way the client can organise someone else. Don’t just make promises you cannot keep and then disappear. More...
