Fresh Start Living Interior Design Leeds

Jon and Beth were brilliant from the start. We had very few ideas but they listened to what we did (and didnt want) and created some beautiful ideas. At a particular crunch point we were doubting our original extension plans but, having listened to our original plan for the space, they were able to give us advice and we are so pleased we listened. They sourced many products that we would not have found and were also able to suggest some local tradespeople who did a fantastic job. They were also incredibly patient and continued to be responsive to all our questions and queries.

Fresh Start Living (Beth & Jon Miller) transformed our home into a light, airy space. They oversaw the whole project, from appointing and liaising with the architect, submitting planning applications, putting the construction out for tender, project-managing throughout, and working with us on all aspects of interior design. Through them, we were able to take advantage of various trade discounts for the most substantial purchases, not least kitchen and bathrooms. Not only has the added extension, outwards and upwards, provided us with exactly the additional space we were seeking, in a rather ingenious and creative way, but the interior design offers a fabulous sense of flow throughout the home. We are totally delighted with Fresh Start Living, their innovative approach, and consequently we highly recommend them.

We asked Beth and Jon to help us redesign our two living rooms (one of which we rarely used) and, in particular, to bring some colour into our dcor as we hadnt the confidence to move away from neutral shades. From the start we were confident that they were listening to us and getting a good idea of what we liked and what we might consider. They also challenged us to be bolder about some of our choices and were able to put us in contact with a very good builder, suppliers and furniture makers we would never have found ourselves. It turned out to be a big project but we are delighted with the outcome. Both rooms have their own character and we are now getting the benefit of using both equally. Weve also had very positive feedback from friends and family about our new look. We would recommend Beth and Jon. They dont have pre-conceived ideas about how a home should look and are flexible in their approach but also strong enough to stand by their designs. Overall, we followed their advice, even though we sometimes had misgivings, and we dont regret that as they were right! Service: Living room design

I have worked with Fresh Start Living on two projects now - testament to our extremely positive experience the first time around! Beth and Jon helped first on our master bedroom and en-suite and subsequently our kitchen, where they have both designed the layout and the look and feel of the rooms. As these were our first significant projects, I started out feeling very overwhelmed and didnt know where to start with piecing everything together. There seemed to be so many decisions to make and everything was taking a lot of time to research (especially when we had little idea of where to start looking). Whats more, we were investing a lot into the work so wanted to make sure it actually looked good at the end. This is where Beth and Jon really helped us out. There were many positives to the experience: - Great designs that challenged our pre-conceived ideas. Working with Beth and Jon means we now have a much more interesting house with many features that we wouldnt have thought of ourselves. Had we not worked with them, we would have likely defaulted to what we knew and ended up with something a lot less inspired - Responsiveness to queries and ideas. For example, if I had a question on what rug would look good in a certain room, they were able to quickly get back with suggestions (they must have a an encyclopaedic knowledge of the internet and where to source items!). Similarly, they provided helpful advice on thing like structural issues and party wall agreements, which was very helpful for us navigating this all for the first time - Patience with iteration - they understood that things sometimes take time to evolve and were always willing to explore different options with us. Great for someone like me who can be very indecisive - Simplifying the whole process - I think this was one of the biggest positives, especially as I was quite busy at the time of the work. They provided a set of documents (a pdf/ppt, and an excel spreadsheet with details of everything I needed to buy and where I could source it) for each room. I was able to use this to brief the builders, and to make the purchasing of items a whole lot easier. I could refer back to these at any point during the work, which helped me feel a bit more in control (when everything with the actual builders got a bit overwhelming!!) I would have no hesitation in recommending Fresh Start Living, especially if you are looking to be inspired and to take some of the weight off your own shoulders when conducting work!

Beth and John have been instrumental in helping us turn what was a dismal kitchen/dining space into somewhere we love being. They really listen, have a great black book of really quality contractors and trades, and absolutely go the extra mile. Working with them has been one of the best decisions weve made in renovating our house and we are excited for the next project!
