Johanna has been an invaluable resource to optimize the spaces of my 57sqm flat, with a beautiful and smart touch. I would have not been able to create such a cozy and elegant space without her guidance and taste. She recommended me great space solutions, furniture or decor pieces. She worked really well also with the builders who where doing the major refurbishment work. They all created an amazing masterpiece which is my home :). I am so grateful of the job she has done and I would definitely recommend her for your interior design!! More...

Johanna has designed the interior of our kitchen extension. She proposed various layouts and styles. She then went into details of designing the kitchen, wall and flooring as well as decoration and lighting. We are delighted with the result. On a personal level Johanna was a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend Johanna for interior design projects. More...

Johanna did an excellent job re-designing my newly bought flat. I was very impressed by how she managed to quickly pick up on what I liked and didn’t like and then began perfectly tailoring suggestions to my style. I also really appreciated her patience and the amount of times she went above and beyond to cater for additional requests or to keep looking for alternative options if something wasn’t quite right.

Johanna helped me furnish my new home. She was fantastic from start to finish, and her ideas have really brought the space to life. She was so easy to work with and I would not hesitate to use her again. More...

Johanna was a real pleasure to work with. Our brief was not straight forward, my partner and I have very different styles, but Johanna skilfully blended them to give us a look we both love.
Our builders were a complete nightmare but Johanna was very understanding and supportive when delivery dates had to be pushed back and the project ran on many months more than we had initially expected.
Unlike many interior designers we discussed the project with, Johanna was very transparent with the trade discounts she gets and passes these on to clients which can substantially reduce the overall cost of her service which was already competitively priced.
We had no idea about the amount of work involved in a full renovation project and could never have done it without Johanna's vision, attention to detail and amazing coordination skills. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Speaking of Interiors to friends and family.
Whether we'd ever embark on another full renovation project... well that's another story.

Jo guided me through my first home renovation. I valued bouncing ideas off her and all the materials and furnishings she recommended were good quality. Without using Jo I would not have got around to getting any renovations done, thank you Jo! More...

We've wanted to refurbish our Balham house ever since we bought it two years ago. We had never worked with an interior designer before, so we were a little apprehensive about costs and didn't understand the process. Johanna made the whole experience so easy and transparent. She took the time to explain everything, had fantastic ideas and saved us a lot of money with her trade discounts. Honestly, working with Speaking of Interiors has been one of the best value-for-money decisions we've made. We love the look of our new home! Highly recommend them. More...

Very good, Johanna added real value to the flat, stuck with it on a year-long project and the results are fantastic - can recommend.
John B
Johanna gave us new and different options for the design and layout to our extension, and was able to show us how to make the best use of our space. We got good savings on furniture with her trade discounts too. Very prompt and efficient communications with us and our contractors made the whole process enjoyable. More...

I can't recommend Johanna highly enough. She was so helpful on our project, sourcing great items whilst keeping budget in mind. She is very efficient and manages the time very effectively. She has an excellent eye for detail and I will no doubt be needing her assistance again in the near future! More...
Valentina C
Hiring an Interior Designer to help is an expense many people aren't truly considering will add an extra value. It seems like you can figure things out on your own, but do yourself a favor and please hire Speaking of Interiors. I tried doing it all on my own until I decided to give Johanna a chance. Not only she was a total delight to work with, she delivered. I was driving myself crazy! She puts herself in your shoes and really thinks of every possibility. I am very satisfied with her work.

Zoe
Johanna and her team were great. They really took the time to understand my style and helped me express myself in my home. Their attention to detail was remarkable. I was so happy to see the final result and how they blended my old and new furniture and decor. I'll highly recommend them. More...

The process was so easy and straightforward. Johanna expertly guided me all the way through. Thank you for your brilliant work and outstanding results! I am thrilled with the transformation of my living room! More...
Maria
I don’t usually write reviews, but I was so happy with the service that decided to make an exception. My husband and I work full time and have two small kids, so we don’t have a lot of spare time. We had never used an interior designer before, but we needed some help refurbishing our new property and were recommended Speaking of Interiors by friends. We were not disappointed! Johanna managed to get our vision through and made every step of the way so easy. She truly made it a personalised experience and was super lovely to work with. Thank you! More...
Dan Farley
Johanna and her team are brilliant. I have a two-bedroom flat in Battersea and hired them to do a full redecoration. I was incredibly pleased with the outcome. She understood exactly what I wanted, and added a lot of creative touches y practical ideas I had not even considered! She delivered my vision within my budget and made the whole process very enjoyable. Highly recommended. More...
Tracie Giles
Johanna is a joy to work with - very creative yet very organised ( normally the two don’t go together) . She has a real eye for detail and a flair for putting colours together, creating space where it’s hard to imagine and she made my house look like a show home.
I love the way it looks and she also managed all the traders involved to get a really great result.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and the fact is her fees are fair and she really takes care of everything.
I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.
