What OUR CLIENTS SAY.
Comments from some recent design projects in London homes.

We instructed Bella for the refurbishment of our house in Belsize Park. She's been involved every step of the way, from initial design concepts to 3D plans (which were brilliant), material sourcing and implementation. Bella has exceptional natural talent for designing beautiful and practical spaces. For example, she suggested a box seat for our bay window, which is now used as both a lovely dining room bench seat as well as storage space. People comment on it as soon as they come in. Bella also helped us find great tradesmen who were conscientious and hard working. She made the process incredibly smooth and the final product is well ahead of our expectations. We would highly recommend Bella - she's lovely to work with, imaginative and talented.

We are so grateful for Noon’s thoughtful plans for our awkward attic bedroom. From smart eaves storage ideas to positioning the bed, Noon helped us to make sense of the space, optimising it for our lifestyle. In addition to practical solutions, Bella suggested thoughtful lighting, carefully-curated furniture and gorgeous textiles – all within our budget, to our style, and tying seamlessly together. She made it all feel easy.
Moodboards and 3D drawings helped us to visualise the scheme and make decisions together before we received a thoroughly-researched list of supplier options. Bella has an unusual combination of creative and logistical skills, impeccable taste, an enormous library of references, and an extensive contacts book.She’s also an empathetic listener, which leads to a sensitive, collaborative process and beautiful, highly-personalised interiors. We wouldn’t hesitate to turn to Noon again for aesthetic vision, spatial problem solving or smooth project management.

We moved into a four bedroom terrace with dated interiors (wall colours, carpet etc), and brought with us almost no furniture that we wanted to keep. We felt overwhelmed by the idea of decorating and furnishing so many spaces, so we enlisted Noon to help with the entry hallway and stairways, living and dining room, and the master bedroom. Bella outlined the design process very clearly for us at the beginning of the project, and we appreciated her structured approach which helped us follow where we were up to throughout each stage of the process.
Following our initial discussions about the style and feel we were looking for, Bella came up with schemes for each space, which went through various iterations, until we were completely happy with each scheme. The 3D renderings which accompanied the final schemes made it really easy for us to visualise what the finished product would look like.
We were very impressed with the detailed and comprehensive sourcing spreadsheet which Noon produced following finalisation of the schemes, which set out options and recommendations for absolutely everything we needed, from the tiniest details to the big ticket items. We are not art/design minded, and we found the idea of decorating/designing so many spaces very daunting. We were worried that we would need to spend a lot of time giving our views and input, but Bella reassured us right from the start that we could be as involved or as hands-off as we liked, and that nothing should feel like "homework" for us. This put us at ease and allowed us to relax and enjoy the process!
We have a 3yr old son, and were also worried that an interior designer's recommendations might not take account of the practical realities of our life. However, Noon was very mindful of this, for example recommending "family friendly" fabrics and avoiding furniture with sharp corners.
We loved Noon's final schemes and have loved watching our rooms transform into beautiful spaces that we can be proud of.
