Rumi Bunya Design Ltd

I hired Rumi to advise on, and manage, a project to extend and renovate a kitchen and dining area. I was extremely impressed with the quality and professionalism of her work, and could not recommend her more highly. Her incredible expertise and experience made this project run very smoothly and resulted in a gorgeous kitchen which has radically transformed our home, making our life easier and our family time much more enjoyable. At every single point in the project she was able to guide me with efficiency and patience, always knowing when to wait (to accommodate our personal and professional schedules) and when to push things along (to guarantee the timely completion of the project). She was excellent at creating a flexible, supportive and collaborative working relationship, leading the project in the areas where I felt less confident but enabling me to take control of the areas where I had a clearer vision of what I wanted. Her design vision is beautiful, her knowledge is vast, her contact network with tradespeople is incredibly valuable and her attention to detail is unparalleled. I was also very impressed with, and grateful for, her good humour, kindness and consideration. Rumi changed our house and our lives, and I highly recommend her.

Rumi provided me with architectural and interior design services, plus project management, for the renovation of my living room and dining room in my traditional victorian semi-detached house in Moseley. I can’t recommend Rumi highly enough! I approached Rumi as I wanted to knock the two rooms through into one. I had lots of ideas but didn’t know where to start. I was looking for a designer with an eye for detail and an architectural focus, rather than going straight to a builder, who could help me design how best to knock the rooms into one, but also add some creative design. From start to finish the whole process was a dream. Rumi came up with fantastic ideas for my space, including the use of sliding pocket doors to enable separation of the two rooms if needed - which is an idea I would never have thought of myself. Rumi provided me with a creative concept based on a few inspiration photos I gathered, drew up floor plans, including placement of lighting and electrical aspects, and looked at how we could best lay out furniture in the space. Rumi was fantastic to work with and greet to communicate with at all stages. Rumi presented an fantastic initial concept and then happily tweaked and adjusted the designs based on my feedback. Rumi then sourced excellent tradespeople to deliver the work, provided a clear scope of works and accurate costs based of my choices of materials etc - which did not increase throughout the build! Throughout the build, Rumi kept in close contact with the build team and visited site regularly. Rumi was always available to pop over if any issues occurred or we needed to make decisions. This part of the service was invaluable to me and meant everything went really smoothly. The tradespeople Rumi works with are of a really high standard and the snags list was pretty non-existent! Rumi’s overall design, including suggestions for furniture and final touches, has created a space that brings me so much joy! I would highly recommend Rumi for any interior project and I hope to work with her again on my next project.

Once again, Rumi has helped us to make our dream come true. Not only our front looks fantastic and so modern but also it is very practical. Having a new bathroom downstairs makes everything so much easier, especially for our muddy dog! Combined with our previous extension at the back, our downstairs became what we had dreamed of. Thank you again, Rumi.

I can't recommend Rumi highly enough. She's exceptionally skilled at what she does. Creating refined, stylish and welcoming spaces for her clients. I've had the pleasure of photographing some of her projects over the last 18 months and I'm always impressed by her results. She's friendly and thoughtful which I think is why her clients keep coming back to her or recommending her to others. Can't wait to see what she produces next!

I hired her for my kitchen renovation. She sticks to choose small items which made my kitchen a bid different from others. Highly recommend her.

Rumi made our dream come true… When we started thinking about our ‘dream’ extension, we only had vague ideas. They were very abstract, imaginary and unrealistic. Rumi was very patient throughout every stage from designing to completion. Originally, it was like jigsaw pieces but Rumi put them together to form a wonderful and perfect result. Generally, we are very indecisive people and always need a time to think. Rumi was so informative, giving us many alternative choices to choose from. For every process, she made sure we were comfortable before proceeding. When we faced an unexpected extra cost for the ground work, Rumi was extremely supportive to help reducing the cost in other places without much compromising of the results. Rumi is a perfectionist with eagle eyes and is always available to answer any questions no matter how silly. Rumi always makes sure everything is going well by visiting the site frequently and communicating with the builders. We can’t recommend her enough!

We recently dealt with Rumi on supply of a Kitchen for one of her customers. It ran from start to finish without any issues and was a extremely smooth process. We found Rumi to be very professional, fantastic communication and an excellent eye for detail. We would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an Interior Design Service.

Rumi hired me for a half day shoot to photograph a small extension which included a boy's and a girl's room. Rumi is a such a pleasure to work with. She is professional and has such a great eye for detail. Her use of colour and texture makes rooms so inviting and an absolute joy to photograph. I highly recommend Rumi, her interiors are beautifully designed.

You've been super professional, warm and friendly and you’ve given me confidence to trust your judgements and designs. I would recommend you in a heartbeat. Thank you.

I contacted Rumi to help with the development of a property in St. John's Wood. Rumi's assistance was invaluable to the project. Her design ideas were creative yet practical. Her attention to detail, vision and sense of space, all came together to create a beautiful property. Rumi had the ability to solve any unexpected problem which came up during the project without compromising on the overall design. I found Rumi to be very professional but at the same time approachable, responsive and a great communicator, which allowed us to really work hand in hand. I would highly recommend Rumi's services to anyone who is looking for design and planning advice.

We worked with Rumi for the first time in May, photographing her recent work. She had a nice relaxed approach to her work while maintaining attention to detail. Rumi is very easy to get along with and has an instinct for knowing exactly what you would like. A pleasure to deal with.

I asked Rumi to come and look at my lounge and kitchen area after seeing how she decorated her own house. Her house is beautifully presented with combination of contemporary interior with some tasteful antique/vintage furniture, which I absolutely adore. Her knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. She always provides me with excellent advice ranging from soft-furnishing to furniture, and even from wall colour to specific kitchen appliances. She is professional at computer drawing, from kitchen designs to drawings required for planning application. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.
