Testimonials
"Having gone round in circles for months trying to plan our renovation project, we met Sam and everything fell into place.
From her first visit, she had a clear vision of how we could restore the dilapidated house and make a beautiful holiday home.
We found Sam and her team very easy to work with, they understood our needs and it felt like nothing was too much trouble.
It was a complete renovation project, involving every trade you could think of, in a challenging location which Sam expertly project-managed in its entirety.
We are absolutely delighted with the results"

"We engaged Sam both as an interior designer and project manager for the full turn-key remodelling and furnishing of a barn conversion near Lostwithial, Cornwall.
In her role as designer, Sam immediately appreciated the style and feel of the property we wanted. She quickly created a mood board that perfectly reflected the brief and developed the concept into reality by suggesting colours, fabrics, furniture and furnishings and, using her wide network of contacts and suppliers, sourced and purchased the chosen items using her trade discounts.
In this role Sam was a highly valued second opinion and source of conventional and sometimes courageous ideas that all came together beautifully.
Sam's organisational and project management skills are impressive. She obtained and negotiated quotes with quality trades people and very capably managed them with a no-nonsense hands-on approach to ensure they delivered to the required high standard within the project timeline.
Given the scale of the work, problems and difficulties inevitably arose and when they did Sam, as first point of contact, automatically took responsibility for and dealt with them with minimal fuss.
In both her roles Sam proved to be invaluable and made a very significant contribution to our project. By eliminating almost all the hassle and stress we would otherwise have had to bear Sam allowed us to take a step back and enjoy the evolution of our new home."

"We are absolutely delighted with the results of our house total refresh, which is much admired by everyone that visits.
Sam from The Cornish House helped us to realise the potential of our large bright sitting / dining room and transformed it into a calm, stylish area.
The big challenge was to brighten up the bedrooms and she sourced some wonderful wallpaper and soft furnishings to totally lift three dull rooms.
Along the way she advised on furniture and lighting and helped us sort a small flat roof that was causing damp issues.
Sam is a pleasure to work with, and we really appreciated her creativity and attention to detail."

"We hired The Cornish House Interiors to refurb our coastal holiday cottage and our period home.
Having interviewed numerous interior designers to undertake the work, we were somewhat disillusioned by the distinct lack of professionals out there. That was until we were introduced to Sam at The Cornish House.
Sam came highly recommended by a client of ours and we were immediately impressed by her passion, knowledge and professionalism.
Sam listened patiently to every element of our brief and generated detailed concept boards, plans, swatches and visuals to storyboard our project in detail. Her creative flair and extensive experience with colour, wall and floor coverings, bespoke furnishings, textiles and lighting resulted in her not only meeting our demanding brief (within budget), but exceeding our expectations.
Sam worked closely with us through ever step of the project offering a complete turn key project managed solution, taking the pressure off our shoulders.
Her attention to detail and ability to work beyond our brief meant that not only was the end result sympathetic to the age and character of both (very different) properties, but ultimately culminated in such a stunning transformation, that we love spending time in the new space - as do all our friends and family.
I wouldn't hesitate to use The Cornish House Interiors again for future projects and can't recommend Sam and her very talented team highly enough"
Helen Daniels-Cooper, Residential Client
"I asked Sam at The Cornish House to design the interior of my new coastal home in Cornwall; and I am absolutely thrilled with the result.
Sam impressed me with her warmth, enthusiasm and vast knowledge of fabrics, fittings, colours, also contacts. She paid attention to my thoughts, while introducing her ideas, and this has resulted in a lovely colour scheme and style I love living in.
Sam has also always worked within my timetable, which has allowed me to take considerable time deciding on individual items, and really gone the extra mile to make sure everything has been done to a high standard.
Thanks to Sam and her team, I have a relaxing, colourful home with lovely furniture and bespoke fittings, which gives me a happy glow.

"Sam at The Cornish House listened to our ideas and then simply made them come true!
She worked tirelessly providing fresh ideas of her own and colour boards to help us visualise the end results. She was fun to work with and very reliable. The end result was a dream, and better than we could have possibly imagined.
I can highly recommend the Cornish House, and will definitely have no hesitation using them again"
