Suzy Harris Designs

We recently extended and renovated our 19th Century stone-built cottage. The project, excluding the planning time, took 5 months to complete. Initially we employed Suzy to help with the layout of the kitchen and the finished décor but it soon became clear to us that we lacked the experience and knowledge to facilitate the necessary decisions about layout and flow of individual rooms and through the house and we soon expanded Suzy’s remit to include layout plans of window sizes and positions, in-built storage solutions and to procure joiners quotes, produce a budget spreadsheet to cover every aspect of the renovation, produce an electrical plan, help source the flooring and tiling, help choose some furniture and lighting as well as suggest and draft a design for the kitchen and utility layout and put together a colour palette. Suzy was able to listen to our ideas and help us get to the position we need to be in, and she achieved all this through e-mails, phone calls and visits to furniture and kitchen showrooms. A wealth of product images, ideas and final documents were clearly labelled and laid out and shared using Dropbox. We are extremely pleased with our home and although it is put together beautifully it feels homely and sympathetic to the age of the property which is exactly what we wanted. We have happily recommended Suzy to family and friends.

Suzy is a brilliant, kind, and hard-working designer and artist. She agreed to help us move into our new home in Bristol amid extremely challenging circumstances. After creating a design tailored to our needs and preferences, Suzy went ahead and engaged and managed all the tradespeople. This saved us from massive headaches and stress. This took off a huge load off of our backs when we needed it most. Having the peace of mind that Suzy is on the case is priceless. Needless to say the result is a warm, welcoming home for us and our son.

met all deadlines. lots of great ideas. stayed on budget. hadn't done a project like this before but rose to the challenge. very good at technical CAD.

The refurbishment of our Edwardian terraced house, which was designed and project-managed by Suzy Harris Designs far exceeded our expectations. Our daughter Suzy’s overall vision, sense of colour, space and design was not only really practical but retained the integrity of the home - exactly what we wanted. Her attention to detail is amazing – and we were kept informed at all times and the job was completed within budget. Suzy’s depth of knowledge of her field, coupled with a particular talent at sourcing all kinds of items, saved us a considerable amount of money. The overall effect was simple yet original and imaginative and included some excellent customised artwork by Suzy herself. We would be delighted to recommend Suzy Harris Designs for flair, originality, practicality and good taste.

The project needed a lot of intricate management from Suzy Harris Designs and it was done fantastically- everything was super clear, with lots of options to choose from and delivered impeccably. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Suzy Harris Designs for those who want a top professional service, incredible eye and confidence that she will deliver above and beyond expectations.
