Farr Better Interiors Reviews

We had an excellent experience working with Jo. She listened to our ideas and introduced fresh concepts and all at a very reasonable cost.. From the initial colour consultation onwards she encouraged us to make choices about furniture both old and new, soft furnishings and lighting. We made decisions that we would never have dreamt of without Jo’s help. Our newly transformed room is creative, warm and welcoming. Thank you so much for your ideas and input to our project. We liked the way that you worked with us and didn’t dictate - the whole process was so satisfying.

Hi David and Jo, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It was a real pleasure working with you, and I loved how open you were to exploring new ideas while staying true to your style. Your room definitely feels creative, warm and welcoming now, and it’s been wonderful to see the transformation come together. What a lovely start to the New Year.

Excellent experience working with Jo and Mark. From the initial colour consultation to the full repaint, they delivered everything under time and under budget. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, always keeping me informed and making insightful suggestions for improvement once the project began.

Thank you both for such a thoughtful review. It was a pleasure to help you explore your love of colour. I think we nailed the brief in your paint colour consultation: upbeat and warm, somewhere that feels uplifting and vibrant. Interior design is all about your home reflecting who you are and feeling great ✅.

I look forward to hearing back from you and I am excited to see the results ☺️.

Jo was so helpful with colour designs and gave me great ideas re my difficult dark hallway/stairs... Suggested things to make it sharper and more interesting. Great internal design suggestions, and so patient with my situation. It really looks beautiful now! Plus saved money on paint and decorators by having a splendid plan prior to work. Was so pleased I have booked her for a bedroom 😊 ...

Meeting Jo and working with her to refurbish my apartment has been joyous and a lot of fun. Jo is amazingly creative, full of ideas, she'll see how far you're happy to push your boundaries and help you make the right decisions. I know to my cost how expensive it can be to go it alone, and make mistakes. I absolutely LOVE the results and would heartily recommend Jo for anyone's interior design projects. I couldn't have done this without her. Thank you Jo.

Jo has now worked on a number of very different rooms in our home, each presenting different quirks and challenges, but none more testing than wallpapering a double-height wall with a large window in the middle! However, the execution was flawless! Jo is a perfectionist and had given a great deal of consideration to the best way to accomplish our vision, and to ensure any possible problems were mitigated. She is always up-front in advising if there is even the slightest chance of potential issues before undertaking any work. What also really sets Jo apart is her advice on colours and design, providing reassurance about your choices, or to offer suggestions you may not have considered. We already have Jo booked in for our next project, and would have no hesitation in recommending her!

Hi Chris, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me such a glowing review. It made me smile! You did a great job of renovating your town house hall, stairs and landings. It was a big job, you pretty much updated everything from the colour to the staircase.

It was my pleasure to help with colour and design. I'm really pleased at how it's all come together. I'm also pleased that all the trades we recommended did a top notch job for you too. It looks modern and airy....lovely, nothing more than you deserve!

All the best, Jo

Tina Kelley 2023.08.20

     

We have been engaging Jo's team and services for about 10 years and now rely upon her judgment with colour coordination. The rooms in our house are quite compact and challenging and so it's important that we choose shades that blend and maximise the light available. We can't afford to get that bit wrong so Jo would typically present us with some options and we take it from there.

It is always a pleasure to be part of your journey Tina. I enjoy working through ideas with you and finding the colours and style that fit with your home and which you connect with.

The Little Greene and Paint and Paper Library palettes are great to work with and they offer a lot of options for your home with their colour scales. I love the Farrow and Ball wallpaper you chose, it adds depth and interest to your guest room whilst keeping it light and airy.

I look forward to our next project.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you Amber. The colour and wallpaper scheme really suits your home and lifestyle. The Mylands Marble Matt paint is both beautiful and practical. And, the Cole and Son wallpaper is stunning. The finishing touches are everything and it looks fabulous from the blinds to the plug sockets! All the best, we hope you will be very happy in your new home.
