I relocated to Cambridge and purchased a new build four bedroom townhouse near the city centre at the beginning of 2005.

Although delighted with the purchase, it became clear that I did not know reputable local tradesmen to decorate and carry out the necessary modifications. Even if I had the local contacts, I did not have the time to manage the project.

I came into contact with Lorna Higgins of LJH Interior Design who had been recommended to me by the estate agent from whom I had bought the property.

I was extremely sceptical about using an interior designer. I was afraid the budget would spiral out of control, worried about how intrusive the process would be, whether I would actually get value for money, how effective the actual design element of the process would be and whether I would actually get what I wanted.

I am delighted to say that in the case of LJH Interior Design, all my concerns have proved to be completely unfounded. The budget has been strictly adhered to and the actual design process provided ideas which have now transformed the property into a comfortable home. Lorna has provided a level of customer service which has been quite outstanding and far exceeded what I expected in all areas.

I moved to a six bedroom Victorian property in central Cambridge in 2007 and once again called upon Lorna's expertise and knowledge to help transform my new house into a comfortable home.

I have no hesitation in recommending LJH Interior Design to anybody.
