Anna Standish Interiors

From start to finish Anna and her team were fantastic. From the initial sit down to see what we wanted to the amazing mood board of ideas that tied in with exactly what we were looking for, with some ideas we would never have thought of but we agreed to, and look amazing. The finish and time spent making sure everything was perfect made the whole process so easy, and for us the client stress free.

Anna has been a life saver for us in our renovation project. She know unlimited amounts about all interior questions. She is always professional, helpful ,knows how to solve so many problems and explains everything on a way we can understand. We are grateful to her and consider her the top in her field of expertise. If you are struggling with decisions ask Anna.

We used Anna for an initial consultation for our open plan house. We really enjoyed our time and thought that Anna had a really good approach and lots of ideas. Both my partner and I can be quite stubborn about our own ideas. We really noticed that Anna was quite skilful in managing each of us and appreciated her honest opinions and navigation through both of our ideas, as well as coming up with lots of things we hadn’t thought of. Our project is in the very beginning stages and we are hoping to bring Anna back in again later in the project. I definitely recommend her services.

Anna is a true professional in every way. We had a fully functioning kitchen/diner that needed some key finishing touches and Anna 'got it' straight away. We had the base colours in place and Anna introduced some key pieces of furniture with items that I would never have considered due to their colour. We're absolutely thrilled with how the project is going. Each piece that we've purchased makes me smile. As a result, Anna has also provided ideas for the lounge, hallway and the children's 'den' and did do so with pace making the best use of time. She makes it look incredibly easy and is extremely intuitive to our likes/dislikes. Anna encouraged purchasing key pieces first and introducing lamps, drapes etc as the room evolved. She advised on how to link each room and ensure there is a flow to the house. Anna is always available via text/email/phone for any questions and responds with a swift reply every time. Having worked with previous interior designers, I feel that Anna brings something very special and her expertise is second to none. Can't wait to see the end result.

Great consultation, Anna was intuitive, respectful and full of ideas and I look forward to working with her further in order to realise this project. Her professionalism and enthusiasm gave me the confidence to take on a project that I alone would never have been able to do and I believe that together we will improve not just the flow and feel of the property, but also breathe new life into a home. It's all rather exciting. Thanks Anna.

I wanted to write this review as having been back in our house for a few months now I feel I finally have a true appreciation of just how invaluable Anna's experience, taste and advice were in helping us achieve the amazing space we now live in. At all time's during our project Anna was there for us with great ideas, money saving tips and a calming hand. Lastly I'd like to say that someone who's able to make a husband and wife with completely different tastes and ideas reach a happy comprise is really doing an amazing job !!

Anna has just helped us reimagine our master bedroom and lounge. I'd previously tried to do this myself, but ended up with a clash of colours and styles, a lounge that no-one used (it's a tricky shape) and a bedroom that just didn't feel like somewhere to relax. Thanks to Anna's vision we've now transformed both rooms and they are truly wonderful. The lounge has taken over from the kitchen as the hub of the home, with everyone wanting to spend time in there, and the bedroom looks and feels like we've landed in a luxury hotel. Not only that, but Anna's suggestions were all very well priced and she re-used many of the items we already had in new ways and places. Thank you so much Anna, we now have a home that we all truly love. We couldn't have done it without you.

Anna was the second designer I hired to help with my flat, after not finding the right dynamic with the first, I was really pleased to meet with Anna and Jan who put me at ease with regards to working on a smaller project and at what turned out to be (based on my timelines) an extended project. I am looking forward to continuing to work with them.

We completed a total refurbishment of our Grade II Listed property in London which entailed much prior planning and a close eye to detail in project management, as well as interior design advice. Once the project got underway it was a sleek and seamless operation from both the team Anna helped us employ, through to the absence of any regrettable decisions. Anna is skilled in hand holding through decision making whilst encouraging your personal style to shine through.. we have loved living in our new home from the day we moved in. Immaculate project.

Fantastic professional who works with highly skilled, creative craftsmen with superb attention to detail on all aspects of the project.

We have a very old farmhouse which has been extended over the centuries with lots of odd nooks and crannies that really don't suit modern living. We were having real issues deciding how to incorporate a new extension and remodel the interior spaces in the most efficient and appealing way. Anna was recommended to us by friends and after our first meeting we decided that we wanted to work with her as much for her clear advice on space layout as well as her brilliant eye for design and finishes. Anna (very!) patiently took us through each stage of the decision making process whilst leaving us time in between to think her ideas through in our own minds and reach our own decisions. She was always on hand to answer questions and put us in contact with potential suppliers and trades people to better understand the cost implications of the decisions we were making. Anna made us feel she was completely committed to our project which really reassured us as we don't have a great deal of experience with building works. And she's a lovely person to work with. In all, highly recommended.

Anna was recommended to me by a very good friend and what a fantastic recommendation it was! Our family was being relocated from London to Bermuda and we needed to completely furnish and design a three storey house in Smith’s Parish. The brief, that we gave to Anna, was to provide us with a family home that was comfortable, relaxing, fun but also a little bit different. Aside from that we gave her free rein to come up with the colour scheme, design and overall presentation of the house. This was also to include all the curtains, blinds, rugs in every room, every piece of furniture (indoors and outdoors), lamps and home accessories. We needed someone who was extremely well organised as we had to transport every item from the UK in two containers. Anna come out with me to Bermuda for 5 days to measure every part of the house and create in her mind the design of the house. Once she had returned from the trip she emailed us a fabulous presentation including all the huge number of items that she was proposing showing the layouts room by room. Out of all these items there was only one piece of furniture that we changed. The logistics of carrying out this job from 3,500 miles away seemed impossible to me but Anna carried it out with no hassle at all and pulled it all seamlessly together. We could not have done without her and we absolutely love our new home.

Anna without doubt not only made our project possible, but the results are excellent. The feedback from all my friends has been very positive and they say our house is unrecognisable - sleek, de-cluttered, calming and stylish. Anna is very skilled and listening to all parties involved and helped my husband and I come to agreements quickly. Her mood boards and suggestions gave us lots of choice. She was across style, colour, furniture, how we use space and had reliable contacts who all came up with the goods. I honestly have no complaints and would do it all again if I could.

After looking through Anna’s beautiful portfolio on Houzz I got her round for a Design Consultation. I liked how she managed effortlessly to bring together an eclectic look in keeping with the properties original design. We spent 2 hours talking through ideas and sketching out rough plan ideas. I already had a strong sense of what I wanted but I needed Anna’s professional eye to guide and advise if I was on the right path with my layout ideas because I didn’t have the confidence to know if my ideas would work for sure. In the consultation we covered the layout of 2 floors in my Small Victorian Terrace, one of which was an open plan space in which I wanted 3 clear zones for the kitchen, living room and dining area. Anna advised on how to create a focal wall in the living room area with carpentry ideas for the chimney breast wall which brought the whole scheme together very well. We’re still undergoing our renovation and I still may need a little more help from Anna! but I have no doubt the end result will be amazing. Anna’s help was invaluable.

We had the privilege to create one of Anna's designs. A great home study in Hove. The process was effortless and we look forward to working together again.

In our brief consultation, Anna was helpful, amenable and imaginative. She was also generous with her time, insisting I call or email anytime after the consultation with any further questions.

Anna came to advise me on how i could update our family home on the sussex coast. She was extremely helpful and sent a fantastic follow up ideas board with her suggestions and organised samples to be sent to my home. Will definitely be using her again for further design advice.

I consulted Anna about the renovation and extension of my house in the South Downs National Park. She helped me make sense of the space we have already, improving the flow of the rooms, and how we can best extend the property to add in a larger kitchen, study, and a guest suite. She is very easy to work with, great at guiding and gently curbing sillier ideas, and full of her own great ideas.

Anna was in control of the complete refurbishment and extension of my Notting Hill town house in London. Anna has a complete gift for design and great style backed up by a practical "can do" attitude and lots of project experience. The result was a beautiful, practical, cool family home. Anna liased with the builders throughout and did everything from planning room layouts, specifying finishes throughout having curtains and blinds made and sourcing furniture. Her help made a big project smooth and enjoyable.

Was really grappling with colour schemes and layout for our open plan space so reached out to Anna to help. Anna has been amazing. Instantly she provided great ideas on how to best utilise the downstairs living room space (a problem my husband and I had been deliberating on for some time) and gave some lovely, simple but very effective colour scheme tips to create more of a flow throughout the house. Not only did she provide all this during her visit but she has also been sending over great email ideas since to help me further visualise the space. I would highly recommend Anna! Thank you!!

Anna helped us with a variety of design aspects including colour analysis, ideal room layouts, storage solutions and general 'finishing touches' .She managed from start to finish the installation of joinery and various decorating works, ensuring the detail and finishes were all completed to a very high standard. From our initial meeting she outlined in a clear concise way her ideas and thoughts as to how we could compete the house and examples of budget. Highly recommended!

I was introduced to Anna by a friend who knew I was looking for someone to cosmetically revamp my London home. We initially spoke on the phone and then met several times before the work started to discuss the design. Anna's ideas were wonderful, I loved her colour schemes and of course she suggested many other details that I would never have thought of myself. She has a great knowledge of design and introduced me to Mid Century American furniture which I now love and we had several pieces shipped over from the US. I had a budget that I absolutely wanted to stick to and with her ingenuity and skill she kept to this. I loved working with Anna and would highly recommend her !!

I love talking design with Anna, her knowledge of fabrics and wallpapers and her love of sourcing furniture and art have made our collaborations so much fun. Her style is modern and contemporary with lasting appeal, creating a home that has warmth and charm weather its for a traditional town house or country cottage.

I am currently in the process of installing a second bathroom in our Grade 2 listed home. I've been scratching my head for ages as to how to tackle the layout of the room, to include some much needed storage, whilst keeping true to the heritage of the building. Anna has come up with some great suggestions as to what I can do in the space, given the many restrictions of the room's layout as well as the fabric of the building itself - plus a practical solution to my storage problem! I will certainly seeking her expertise again once I've got listed building consent!

I was renovating a large edwardian house in 2011/12. I had lots of ideas but no interior design experience and needed some guidance. Anna is very experienced and has worked on many properties which means she was not daunted by the size of the project. She was very easy to work with and was happy to see the house mid-renovation and discuss ideas with me. She had some very useful insights in respect of the colours I wanted to use and helped me view the house as a whole and not just focussing room by room. She is used to working alongside other contractors throughout the term of a project, and was very supportive in helping us find a new building company based on her contacts when our original builders left the site mid-renovation. I have no hesitation recommending her services.

I had a really lovely session with Anna. She was full of ideas and respectful of my own previous decisions. It was inspiring. I have many years' experience in renovation and design but found that I was 'stuck' on the finish, Anna came to the rescue. I am happy to recommend Anna to anyone who needs design support.

Anna provided a professional and friendly service. She is very experienced and her advice was invaluable. All deadlines were met, costs were as agreed at the beginning of the project and I am delighted with the results.
