Working with Jo was an absolute pleasure, not only has she provided us with a holiday home that we are very proud of and one that allows us to maximise our earning potential, but her lovely nature, responsiveness and her efforts to go above and beyond to make sure we got the intended results were invaluable. She worked brilliantly around our budget and to top it off, shes an outstanding stylist; this part of the process is very much worth investing in, especially for the holiday let, it took the design to another level and made the house a home. We worked with Jo because of a recommendation

I've never used an interior designer before, but Jo was very professional and patient with me, she was able to take my thoughts and present me with ideas from paints to fabrics to wall art, lighting, and flooring. I now have a beautiful, modern relaxing room. Jo is highly recommended

Jo is warm, friendly and professional. She has a great eye, can really see the potential in a space and was really helpful. I had lots of ideas, and quite a challenging space to work with, and having time with Jo helped me move into action. She helped me to focus, created a beautiful mood board, and gave me a clearer sense of direction. Jo also gave me great suggestions of a few simple things that I could do on my own (as I wanted to do quite a lot of it myself), and some excellent contacts for the bigger jobs. She had images of completed jobs she'd worked on, samples of flooring and wall colours

We used Jo on a large project converting an already converted barn into two separate holiday let's.
Jo was a real God send, using an interior designer like Jo takes a lot of the hassle out of a renovation project. She helps you out every step of the way, helping you choose colour and fabric schemes. Jo will source reliable tradesman to then undertake the work, decorating and curtain fitting etc.
Jo will also source furniture and fittings to compliment the project. I would recommend Jo on any project.

I engaged Joanne to smarten up my 'man cave' stone terraced cottage in the Peninne foothills before putting it up for sale. I found her thoroughly professional, creative and understanding of what can be achieved. The improvements were such that the house sold within four days of being put on the market.

Harmony Decor in Marple recommended Joanne to us. I felt immediately she understood the look we wanted. She really listened and cleverly incorporated the items we wanted to keep and then gave our bedroom and landing a completely new look. We are absolutely delighted with our very functional but totally luxurious rooms.
Joanne was able to source fabrics, carpets, wallpapers, lamps and mirrors etc. which really enhanced the look. I wouldnt have known where to start and probably would have gone for high street products which lacked originality and interest. This saved me hours if not more of my

I decided to enlist the help of an interior designer to give my home a style makeover after watching several house and home television programs and seeing for myself what could be achieved with the right help. I located and contacted several interior designers for an initial discussion. Joanne stood out from the rest as I loved the schemes displayed on her website and she was so friendly and helpful and understood what I was looking to achieve. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Joanne and she interpreted and delivered exactly what I wanted. Joanne even sourced all the items including blinds, carpets
