PLEASURE TO WORK WITH
“We used Caroline to plan a conversion and extension. Although we had an idea of what we wanted, we were struggling to visualise the new space. Caroline produced a series of designs based on our requirements. The end result is a beautiful bright living area which we could never have envisaged without Caroline's expertise. Caroline is a pleasure to work with and we can highly recommend this service.”
PROFESSIONAL & COMPETENT
“Caroline did a great job providing spatial planning advice and detailed drawings that we could give to any builder, to start the renovation works we wanted to our house. Caroline was professional, competent and we had confidence that she had the knowledge and experience to give us the best service. The plans she provided were clear, detailed and provided a vision of what our kitchen / open plan dining could look like which was exciting. I would be more than happy to recommend Caroline for anyone thinking of doing works and don’t know where to start!”
INVALUABLE SUGGESTIONS
“I have no hesitation in recommending Caroline for home design. We had a whole house renovation and extension and with Caroline’s expert eye she made invaluable suggestions ranging from structural to room design. Her ideas gave us a lighter, more workable house that flows very well and in some cases saved us quite a lot of money. We are absolutely delighted with the finished result and are the envy of our friends!”
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
“Really enjoyed working with Caroline for several rooms in our house. Very happy with the design process, the design itself and the finished rooms. Caroline is very approachable and works hard to meet the brief with great success. Also provides invaluable help to bring the design together in the final stages. Would definitely recommend.”
INCREDIBLY ORGANISED
“Clueless about designing my new build home, Caroline came to the rescue! She helped me with room layout, designing custom-made wardrobes, sourcing furniture and accessories, colour schemes. Everything was done within the budget agreed. Incredibly organised with spreadsheets, designs and photos, she liaised with companies on my behalf. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
CHANGED THE WAY I LIVE
“The project was to create an open plan kitchen diner from an existing kitchen, hallway and garage. Caroline has a real eye for what can be created using existing space without the expense of extending the footprint of a property. Caroline has great style and vision and really helped me to think about what I wanted the outcome to be. I am over the moon with the end result – it has changed the way I live.”
VERY HAPPY TO RECOMMEND
“We tasked Caroline from Bolthole design to re-plan our downstairs area and use the space more efficiently. We are knocking down a wall to join up the kitchen, living and dining areas but couldn't work out how best to do it. Caroline created 2 good options for us and once we'd selected our preferred choice she has drawn up all the plans to take to builders for quotes. The process was really hepful and we are pleased with the result. I'd be very happy to recommend Caroline for space planning to anyone.”
