Julie Maclean Interior Design Ltd

Julie helped us with our double lounge. When deciding to work with an interior designer you’re basically agreeing to spend money on fees and it’s natural to think ‘is it worth it, couldn’t we just do it ourselves?'. I certainly thought that! Now we have the finished product we certainly think what Julie achieved is something over and above what we would or could have done, which in our opinion makes the fees well worthwhile. Also, my wife and I sometimes had different views and Julie skillfully acted as a mediator to guide us to a decision, which made the process far more relaxed than it would have been if we had tried to do it all ourselves. We have since gone back to Julie for guidance on some other areas, which shows our satisfaction with her service.

We have worked with Julie for a number of years, providing bespoke stone fireplaces, worktops and bathroom surfaces for her projects. Julie is a pleasure to work with and is always interested to hear our advice on the latest products and materials, to ensure the best possible result for her clients. Most recently, Julie designed a bespoke fireplace in Lapitec, which we manufactured and installed together with a Barbas wood burning cassette stove. We look forward to working with Julie on her varied and interesting projects for many years to come!

Julie and her team did an amazing job in transforming our very dated and plain London flat into a stylish and very comfortable haven. After initial meetings and ideas exchange we were very happy to leave Julie to "get on with it" while we returned to Australia, and continued communication via email. We did have a few problems, mainly delivery issues, due to us not being around, but generally the decoration and furnishing went very smoothly, and with very little inconvenience to us. We can't wait to get back there!

We have worked with Julie on three occasions over the last five to six years. During that period Julie has helped us transform what was, when we bought it, a very tired Victorian terraced house into a lovely bright and spacious home suitable for modern family living. The first phase of the project involved the refurbishment of the first floor and loft bedrooms and study. Two years later, the second, and most substantial, phase of the project took place. For five months, we moved our while the ground floor of the house was transformed: two reception rooms were turned into one spacious living area; a disused fireplace and chimney breast were removed to maximise space, and the kitchen/diner was extended into the side return. Most recently, the refurbishment of the house has been completed by completely refitting the family bathroom and an en suite shower room. Julie combines excellent project management skills with enormous design flair. We had neither the time nor the skills to play an active part in overseeing and co-ordinating the various elements of what was (particularly in the case of the reconfiguration of the ground floor) a complex project. What we wanted was someone who we could trust to come to us with key decisions about design and finishes, while ensuring that everything was organised and managed without fuss, and without us having to deal directly with contractors. Julie did all of this brilliantly. It was enormously reassuring to entrust these projects to someone who brought real vision, focus and organisation to them. Working with Julie has been an absolute pleasure. We would recommend her strongly (and indeed have recommended her to more than one set of friends over the last few years).

We've had the pleasure in working with Julie since 2012. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm with every project, brings out the best in our services and together gives the customer a truly organic and personalised end result. Awesome highly recommend Julie Maclean Interior Design, and we look forward to another great year ahead.

I have worked with Julie many times over the last 6 years. We have worked together on bespoke kitchens, fitted wardrobes, shelving units, many different fitted and free standing cupboards as well as individual pieces of furniture. Julie takes time to not only make the design look good but to think through the functionality as well. There's always a close attention to detail with high standards expected throughout, which suits me perfectly. I like working with Julie as there's always a challenge, a new finish, a different material, an extra detail to add or a new product to work with. When it all comes together it always looks right. This reflects well on me and I have learnt to trust Julie's designs, they will look good when everything is together and finished. Having worked with Julie for several years now I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Julie designed and executed the refurbishment of our sitting room complete with bespoke cabinetry. We couldn't be more pleased with the result! From choosing paint colours to light fixtures, Julie's creative vision is inspirational. Her team of carpenters, electricians, and decorators were highly efficient and professional. We would not hesitate to use Julie's services again.

I want to recommend Julie for her professional service to everyone. We have our 3-bedroom house refurbished into contemporary looking but only gave her less than 2 months to complete before we moved in. Very pleased about the result! Julie was professional , easy to communicate , and worked efficiently to meet our need. Obviously she leads a very good team to work with her. She also looked into details just like doing her own home. You can ask her any questions or exchange ideas if you have your own thoughts. She always replied my emails within a day. I have to say Julie's got the professional "eye" for the future look of your new home. Such a lovely person to work with!

I have enjoyed working with Julie and have found her both friendly and professional. She has a keen eye for selecting artwork that will complement the beautiful rooms she creates.

I have worked with Julie on a number of projects within our home and every time she manages to create something really special. Julie listens thoughtfully to a brief and has a real desire and ability to make something beautiful, practical and incredibly stylish. She has allowed us to be more daring and creative bringing together a mixture of textures, colours, styles, fabrics and patterns. With her designs you know it will work.

We engaged Julie to referee between my husband and I, on widely differing views on how the bathrooms could be modernised and the storage issues in the bedroom of a thatched cottage could be solved. Julie was brilliant, she listened to everyone's views, came up with some innovative ideas of her own, and produced a solution within budget which delighted everyone. Her team were very professional, always helpful and delivered a quality result. Would very happily recommend Julie Maclean Interior Design Ltd to people looking to transform their homes.

Having worked with Julie to design our master bedroom and bathroom, we have now hired her to resdesign our spare bedroom and make it into a dressing room. During the project, Julie was meticulous in the design of the wardrobes which have been designed and manufactured to an exceptionally high standard. She was also extremely creative in suggesting a wonderful mix of furnishings combining antiques and modern classic pieces. She was innovative in her approach to sourcing the materials and was also able to include some of our own previously loved pieces too with great results. We are delighted with the result and enjoy every moment we spend in the room.
