After admiring a friend’s redecorated house I asked Ellie if she would be able to help me. She came, chatted about what I would like, gave her opinion when asked, gave suggestions regarding colours, paints etc and offered to obtain colour samples and paint for me.
Ellie has a great eye regarding interior design and decoration. Her work is immaculate and her attention to detail admirable.
I have given her 5 stars because, quite simply, that is what her work is worth.
I recommend anyone who is looking for a reliable decorator who goes the extra mile, to try Ellie, they won’t be disappointed.

Ellie came to me on a recommendation and I am extremely happy to pass that on. Not only did she carry out a great professional job that I am thrilled with in four rooms of my home, but her advice beforehand was extremely helpful and she was a lovely person to have around.

Ellie was recommended to us, she advised on colours which were out of our comfort zone but so pleased she did, the lounge looks fabulous now, no more magnolia!
The dining room and kitchen really fresh.
We couldn't fault her work she's meticulous and to a very high standard.
We would highly recommend her.
Thank you Ellie

Ellana took care to work out exactly what we needed and was very helpful in choosing colours and paint types.
All work was completed to a high standard, quietly, on time and with no mess.
What more could one ask?

Holly
Absolutely delighted with Ellie -- what a find! She's professional, punctual, insanely knowledgeable and incredibly good at what she does.
All the work she's undertaken in our house has been properly prepared, planned and carried out to a really high standard. Plus she always has great ideas you'd never even think of, including ones that save you money, unlike some contractors we've met who were always pushing us to spend more.
We've already booked Ellie again and will continue to do so.

Ellie was a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure Tonja e in the house.

I asked Google for a female decorator and was directed to Bark. com.. Where Elle was listed...
The job was a very sad and tired Hallway.
...
I got in touch... and met the lovely lady from the add...
I think the photo's will speak for themselves...
And if your still not convinced...
She is a perfectionist with creative style and individual unique flare...
I've posted this response because I was let down by another trade finder site!
and had been waiting since February to get it done..
I'd realised I
Needed a female decorator!
Who even knew they existed!
I think bespoke work is her forte...
Look forward to my bathroom... And sad kitchen... Revamped!
I'm defo booking again!
Very satisfied client..

It’s always difficult to find tradespeople that you trust but Elle was amazing. Communication was excellent & her work was brilliant. I’d highly recommend.
Kier Davis
I was let down by my previous decorator at very short notice and then had Elaine recommended to me by a neighbour. She came over the next day and gave me a competitive quote. She did an excellent job of putting up the wallpaper in my cottage- the walls are really curved and would have been quite tricky to do. I’m very impressed by her work and would recommend her to anyone looking for a decorator. More...

Thank you Kier.

Elaine is fab! I had a wall in my hallway painted navy against white which she did freehand and it looks fantastic. There was also a tricky stain and she managed to get it covered. Really friendly, will definitely be using her services again. More...

Julie Mahoney
Elaine has provided excellent advice on re-styling my lounge and sitting room/ study.
I felt I was in a ‘rut’ with these key rooms.
I had a vague idea on what I wanted to achieve but unsure how. I have made mistakes previously and wanted to get these key rooms right this time.
Elaine came up with some great ideas and options for me to consider; all within budget. I would not have had the vision to implement the changes Elaine suggested and I love the results - thank you. Elaine is currently providing advice on updating my kitchen.
At all times Elaine has been friendly, patient and a total professional. Elaine has always communicated in a timely manner too.
I wholeheartedly recommend Elaine to anyone looking to refresh and update their home.

Lisa Warner
Elaine came recommended to rectify a poor decorating job I had done.
She offered a competitive quote & advise.
She was a god send when I had her come to my house to redecorate my lounge after paying someone else to do the job of wall papering.
Elaine was professional courteous & punctual.
The quality of the work was excellent from filling walls & wood work to sanding , cleaning & tidying up after herself.
The job was finished to the highest standard.
I would not hesitate in recommending Elaine to anyone.
She was a pleasure to be around and I will definitely be using her again in the future.
