I went into Elizabeth Stanhope looking for quality fabrics, trims and wall coverings for an apartment refurbishment project. When I arrived I was greeted by the friendly and professional team. The showroom was very busy with customers but the staff made time to greet me and they could not do enough to help me. I was advised by Lauren and she was so brilliant! She was able to advice me about every element of the design. Including what colours could be good for the space, overall schemes, floor layouts and how to consider lighting. The selection of brands and samples was amazing, all quality designers

I can't say enough good things about our experience at Elizabeth Stanhope Interiors. Staff were friendly, professional, extremely knowledgable and listened to and understood what we were trying to achieve within our home. They then put a fantastic presentation together and we love it and we look forward to working with them on our project.

The service was rude, dismissive and the behaviour of both Amanda and Elizabeth were arrogant to say the least. Despite making an appointment which was then rearranged to suit Amanda’s schedule, they were still unprepared, unprofessional and an absolute waste of my valuable time.
