“I have worked with Carole for the last two years on renovating a 19th century cottage, and I can’t express how happy myself and my wife are with the finished project. Carole’s eye for detail regarding all things, including the choice of furniture, paint colours, art work for the walls, bedding, blinds and curtains, flooring, tilling is absolutely amazing, we couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out. There is not one thing over the two years we have worked together that I can say I would change. Carole has also designed our front garden, with ideas I would never have thought of. We will be working with Carole again early next year on another garden design. If you are thinking of using an interior designer, to give you inspiration, look no further than Carole, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Carole’s help and advice with our project has enabled us to achieve the look we wanted. Her suggestions, backed by her extensive design knowledge and her eye for detail, provided the expertise we lacked. We will not hesitate to contact Carole for our next project.”

“Carole worked with us during the renovation of our new home. She listened and understood the brief from the start – capturing our taste perfectly. She was really responsive in terms of any questions we had and has been a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Carole was such a pleasure to work with. She really listened to our ideas, and produced something that came together so beautifully in a way we could never have done ourselves. I am so glad we worked with her, and we are delighted with the results.”

Ann Bury

“It has been a pleasure working with Carole to reinvent the downstairs of our house. The mood board she created for us was a huge inspiration. Carole listened to our ideas and combined them with her own knowledge and expertise to create a comfortable and aesthetic living space for the whole family to feel relaxed and visitors welcome. It has been great to have Carole’s ongoing reassurance and opinion through out the whole process. Carole offers an affordable and flexible price which has enabled us to get it right first time rather than take a guess and risk spending money and waste valuable time getting it wrong. I would not hesitate to recommend ‘Carole Berryman Design’ to help make any value of house the best it can be.”

Vanessa Kelsall, Kendal

“We had been searching for a designer who would work quite flexibly and in collaboration with us. We had ideas of how the house would look but not the experience or time to do it. We wanted to keep the sense of an old Cumbrian farmhouse whilst updating it and ensuring that it felt “right” for us. Carole has that approach. We are also grateful to her for saving us from the occasional impetuous mistake.”

Chris, Cumbrian Farmhouse

“20 years ago, I designed the back garden myself. Over the years, I became increasingly unhappy with my efforts and I asked this lady to address my concerns, which she did. The garden was transformed beyond recognition. I am extremely pleased I chose her and would call on her services again, without hesitation.”

JP Carrier, Windermere

“We asked Carole to help us with the decoration of our landing and stairs, we thought the use of wallpaper rather than the existing painted walls would add to the wow factor. This was certainly the case as we were blown away with Carole’s choice of paper and wall colours! This has certainly completely lifted a now stunning Victorian staircase and landing. We have no hesitation in recommending Carole to anyone looking for an interior designer.”

Christine

“Carole has done a fabulous job designing and planting a garden for us in the Lakes National Park. It overlooks one of the lakes so it needed a sensitive balanced design that blended an old formal garden into nature. The end result is excellent with gravel paths leading to a beautiful central pond and a summerhouse tucked into one corner. Blossom trees blend the garden into the tree line. It’s a very restful space and we are delighted with it. Carole was great in listening to our brief but also adding her own ideas.”

Andrew Garside, The Bothy

“Carole has been enormous help reconfiguring our garden with hard and soft landscaping. She has a good plant knowledge & understanding of how they will thrive, tailoring to your skills. She interpreted our layman’s brief! She has a good eye for composition & how to make the best of shape, colour & proportion. She has a good sense of place, & understanding of how to build a garden that is right for its environment. Her customer service is excellent , she worked with us to understand & fulfil our brief. She has a hands-on approach to working with us preparing & planting our garden. Overall she surpassed our expectations, was a pleasure to work with and clearly has a passion to achieve & maintain a standard of excellence.”
