Bathrooms & Kitchens > Customer reviews

We couldn’t be happier with our experience having our bathroom designed  with Instil. The whole process from start to finish was incredibly thorough and professional, and the end result is excellent. Steven did an amazing job coming up with a bespoke design for our very small bathroom that maximises the space and looks absolutely fantastic. He managed the whole project and his communication was brilliant. I would highly recommend him, and Instil as a company.

Instil Design – Our Experience.

We live in a listed building which dates back to the 17th Century. We wished/needed to refresh our Bath and Shower Rooms. The house is a thatched cottage with several extensions to it over the years. We luckily discovered Instil Design via  a friend who recommended them. We asked for a design and costing but stressed the importance of keeping the character of the House. Instil provided both a design service, product supply and suggested an installer who they had worked with before. They also gave a choice of product and colour range. They were excellent and accurate in all that was asked of them.

We now have a modern resource that does not feel or look out of place. With a minimum of disruption to our lives. We are fully satisfied with the end result.

Hi Martina, Dan has now gone and I have reclaimed my home with it’s beautiful new bathroom. It is just gorgeous. I am delighted with all of it and I think the floor is the perfect colour.  Please thank all of your team for a fabulous job. And a special thank you to you for finding such a creative solution for me.

Ann - August 2024

Dear Steven, We Love our new bathroom! Thank you for the wonderful design and customer care during installation. Outstanding as ever!

Mark & Jenny - August 2024

Well, we cannot put in words our joy with the new bathrooms. It’s like going on holiday every time we have a shower.

Thomas - July 2024

Hi Steven,

 

I’m really pleased with the end result, thank you!  Hubert has worked really hard and the quality of his work is excellent.  Everything seems to be working as it should. It’s nice to be able to get the house straight again and move back into the master bedroom though😃.

Best Wishes

Hi Emilia

I just wanted to get in touch to thank you again – we’ve been having our bedroom redone too so have only properly moved in and started using the bathroom this week (it’s been a long wait!!). It’s absolutely fantastic and feels so special to use now. The quality is amazing! The details and the finish are perfect and we can’t say enough wonderful things about Hubert. He did such a fabulous job and was a pleasure to have in the house!

Best wishes

Dear Simon, Emilia and Martina,

The cloakroom has now been completed and Emilia called yesterday to take some photos. We are extremely pleased with the result. Emilia’s ideas were informative, creative and helpful. She has a wonderful eye for detail and is also effecient and thoughtful. Emilia was always extremely polite and professional while also being friendly and very approachable.

Simon was as last time a superb workman. He is such a good solution driven thinker and also creative and talented in ensuring the best possible outcome. We loved having him in our home!

Thank you to Instil Design, Martina for your professionalism and for taking on what was a small job but an important one to us. I am now happily using a room I used to avoid.

All the best,

Jane and Paul, June 2023

We wanted to say how delighted we have been with our overall Instil Design Team experience. What started off as a single en-suite project quickly developed into a three bathroom and cloakroom redesign and fit out. Throughout the whole experience Martina’s attention to detail and the excellent way we were supported by all the Instil Team was exemplary. When we came up against a couple of challenges the Instil Team responded swiftly and sensitively to our requirements. Quality bathroom products deserve a quality fitter, and we cannot recommend Hubert highly enough for the outstanding standard of work he produced. You may well read other great reviews regarding Hubert’s work as he really is that good! Overall, we are delighted with our Instil experience and can offer no higher endorsement than the fact that we asked Martina to lead the design and fit out of our new kitchen.
Laura & Iain, April 2023

We were thrilled that Martina at Instil Design Ltd could help us create & build 3 beautiful bathrooms & 1 delightful downstairs Loo during our house renovations. Her ideas & creativity have been admired by many Family members & friends. Plans were drawn up & work carried out without any problems. We would never have thought of designs / wonderful colours & products without her help. Nothing was too much trouble. Would totally recommend.

C & R Evans, March 2023

We are so pleased with our new kitchen, utility room and bathrooms. Martina and Mark have both been amazing to work with and they listened to all of our wants and needs for our kitchen and utility rooms. Everything looks even better than we could have imagined and our kitchen is now the hub of our house…just as we always hoped it would be. Beyond satisfied with all they have done!
Caroline & David, January 2023

‘At a time when so many companies seem to stuggle to keep up the quality of their customer service, InStil Design have been absolutely fantastic. They not only helped us source a light fitting for our new bathroom (after we’d seen one of their beautiful designs in an Oxford hotel) they went the extra mile and made sure we found a bargain. Months later, Nicole stepped in again and sorted out a replacement shade for us when everyone else was saying we’d have to buy the whole fitting. This company is on it and we’ve been extremely impressed…’
M. Hammond November 2022

‘Instil Design worked with us to produce a design which overcame a number of physical problems presented by the characteristics, construction and irregular room shape of an old house. The design that they came up with and we agreed was completed as per the original brief and exactly as instil’s drawings. We are delighted with the result..’
Roy T. October 2022

‘From start to finish InStil Design have been very professional, polite and shown expertise in their trade.
Steven is in my opinion a dedicated, driven and talented designer designer, with a clear passion for his work.

If your looking to have an exceptional and beautiful bathroom, look no further.’

Nick C. August 2022

‘Instil Design came recommended by friends and they did not disappoint. Martina designed a beautiful bathroom and a shower room. The choices she made really helped us feel that it was tailored to us. Rikki and Tony, who installed it were brilliant and a pleasure to have in the house – even Tony’s singing! Any small snags that arose after completion have been dealt with quickly and efficiently by Rikki. We are based in London, which was quite far for everybody to come, but we are so grateful that they took on the job and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.’
W. Oppenheimer, July 2022

‘Great after-sales service (even eight years after the original installation!). Special thanks to Nicole. Very happy..’
R. Whittlington, July 2022

‘The design of the on-suite bathroom by Mark was perfect. Hubert, the installer. was brilliant and overcame some unforeseen issues without any fuss. I would highly recommend this company.’
Malcolm, June 2022

Many thanks Nicole,

I really appreciate your help with this.

Instil have been fantastic from my first steps into your showroom several years ago, designing/supplying my two bathrooms and your wonderful after-sales support.’

Neville, March 2022

‘We wanted to let you know that we are delighted with the shower. As I am sure you are aware and would expect, Dan and his team have done a splendid job and we very much appreciate your efforts in resolving the issue with the tiles. Best wishes, Jennifer and Richard’
January 2022

‘Martina, I’m beyond thrilled!!! Just amazing. Thank you so so much. Hubert was wonderful too. It looks exactly as you said. So thank you all over again.’

Jackie, December 2021

‘Martina and the Instil team were exceptional from start to finish on our project.
The initial layout options she presented were innovative and well thought through – Martina came up with clever ways to make use of the space that we never would have imagined.
When it came to interpreting our style preferences, Martina got the balance perfectly right between understanding our likes and dislikes and offering her own ideas to help bring it all together. The team of installers were also absolutely first-rate, and overall we couldn’t be happier with the results!’
Mr & Mrs Robbins December 2021

‘Evening Martina, Vicki and I wanted to send a message to say a huge thank you to you and the Instil Design team for making our bathroom dream come true.

We have enjoyed the whole process, from our first meeting to Hubert waving goodbye. There were a few challenges along the way, and you addressed these for us and offered solutions which took away all the stress from what was a complex project. The design you and the team produced delivered to our brief and you listened to our feedback throughout the process. The installation is simply put – perfect! Hubert is the best craftsman we have ever had work in our house.

He has completed the job with total professionalism and consulted with us during the install process when needed which was appreciated. Nothing has been too much trouble and he has ensured that the work area always remain tidy and ensured everything was removed and disposed of with any hassle. The job is every aspect is definitely “wow”! In fact, we can’t keep out of the bathroom now!

Thanks again to everyone at Instil and thanks to Hubert.’

Andy, Vicki and family October 2021

“Our bathroom is a good size but had large areas of reduced ceiling height, so we knew the design was important to really make the space work. After doing the rounds of various other bathroom showrooms and designers, no-one came up with a design that I really bought into.

Thankfully after further searching we found Martina and from the first call I felt confident that we had found someone who understood what we were looking for. Even though we went through the design process during COVID and the design presentations were held virtually, we immediately loved Martina’s design and choice of products. It was especially helpful to look at an existing customers bathroom who had similar products to the ones we were considering to help us make a final decision.

The fitter Ian was extremely hard working with high standards of work and we would certainly use him again. We are blown away by our new bathroom, it is beautiful and has a real wow factor. I would most definitely recommend Martina and the rest of her team at Instil Design”

Mr & Mrs Goodman, July 2021

“Instil Design was recommended to us by a kitchen designer who had seen a new bathroom designed by them when visiting one of his clients. We cannot thank him enough.

We approached Martina at Instil, who immediately set up a meeting to ascertain our requirements. We had decided to refurbish the bathrooms and cloakroom. We knew what colour schemes we wanted but needed advice on the designs. Martina listened carefully to us and came up with some ingenious ideas which were practical and stylish. She introduced us to an installer, who she knew would do a brilliant job (Mike Parkin of Carbon Construction). He was professional and carried out the work efficiently, suggesting small improvements here and there. We received excellent service from both companies and are extremely pleased with the end results..”

Mr & Mrs Urwin, February 2021

“I recently completed a sizeable renovation of my home that included Kitchen, Utility & a Master Bed, Dressing room & en-suite. The whole house needed decorating, which I had undertaken the full interior design myself! By the time I came to the bathrooms I knew what I wanted but the tank was pretty much empty! Plus I didn’t know where to source what I wanted. I was looking Houzz.com when I came across Instil Design and a dreamy white marble bathroom with a bespoke vanity. That was when I made contact. Martina rang me the next day and we immediately hit if off, I realised she got exactly what I wanted and what sort of feel I wanted our en-suite to have. I basically want to feel like I’m on a lovely weekend away at a boutique hotel and that’s exactly what she got me! The most lovely bathroom, with brushed gold finishes, a sumptuous shower and enormous bath. A shower toilet ! No room for a bidet and I’m a massive fan (if you think they are not for you – try one, they are so good). The tiles are not marble but a very large practical marble effect porcelain which for me is perfect. I spend a lot of time in there, especially in lock down (hiding mostly or soaking in the bath !). Martina also updated my sons en-suite, designed the guest en-suite and very kindly sourced me some bits for my own little downstairs loo design. We have been delighted with the finished results and service and would highly recommend Martina/Instil to anyone with a juicy project on their hands.”
Sonia White Ducker, January 2021

“The company is a pleasure to work with. Efficient in the detail and good creative ideas. Excellent communication & response to client”

Mr & Mrs Shienfeld, December 2020

“I have on two occasions requested instil design to design and plan a bathroom and cloakroom within my property. On both occasions the communication, design ,quality of materials and standard of workmanship was outstanding. A very personal service and I would have no hesitation to use their services again or highly recommend them to others.”

Kevin Hunt, August 2020

“I am delighted with my new shower room. The design was perfect for the limited space available and the installation was carried out with the monimum of disruption to a very high standard. I would recommend InStil to friends.”
Carol Brownson June 2020

“Some faults down the line but these were promptly investigated and fixed by the installer. It was a pleasure to work with Martina. She really listened and designed exactly what we wanted despite the challanges in such a small room to fit a steam shower. We have already recommended her to friends.”

Krista & Alex, June 2020

“We have a victorian house and found it difficult to find someone willing to take on the challenge of creating a new ensuite and refurb our family bathroom. Martina had no hesitation about taking on the challenge and Dan, a true craftsman in every required discipline, mastered our wonky walls and between them created two fabulous bathrooms for us with quality fittings. Would highly recommend Martina and Dan for the efficient delivery of our project. Thank you both!”
Jenni Collins May 2020

“This was our first time using InStil Design to commission a project to overhaul both our en-suite and family bathrooms.These two bathrooms were original since we bought the house thirty years ago. Hence we wanted a design that would be in keeping with the house decor, be constructed with materials that would last for another thirty years, be safe for our 2.5 year old boy to use and lastly prove cost effective.

Martina’s design reflected all our requirements in her plans and we are extremely happy with the results. For the high quality of workmanship and professionalism, I need to thank Hubert for all his work during installation. I wanted to use a local business in my area and came across Instil Design based on searches and highly recommended reviews. Having now used them, I also cannot recommend them highly enough.

Thank you Martina, Hubert and your Team”
Ken, April 2020

“Thank you again for the fabulous bathroom design and for recommending Dan. He has done an amazing job and is so talented.”
Suzanne and Simon, April 2020

Mr & Mrs H., March 2020

“Excellent advice, product knowledge and pragmatic, sensitive recommendations – great service”
Roger Longshaw, January 2020

“This was the third and biggest project completed by InStil Design for our house. We are absolutely delighted with the transformation of our kitchen and dining-room to a semi-open plan design.

Martina did a fantastic job, as before, that went way beyond our considerations and expectations. The building work was carried out to perfection by Dan, who was very competent, knowledgeable, a hard worker, and a pleasure to have working at the house. The end result is amazing from the overall design to the fine details. All the products are of a high quality and complement each other in terms of design and colours, and are very easy to use in the new spaciousness we have acquired. Martina came to see the work being carried out on several visits and we cannot thank her and the team enough for all their brilliant work.

We would definitely recommend InStil Design to anyone who appreciates great design and fantastic service!”

Ms Tonge, December 2019

“Hello Anna, Mum absolutely LOVES her en-suite and keeps sitting in her bedroom looking at it!!! You’ve done such an amazing job, we couldn’t love it any more! So thank you so much.”
Amy, December 2019

“This is my second recommendation for Instil design. We came back to Instil for Martina’s design expertise. She really is a genius with creating space where we didn’t think we had any. Martina was able to create two ensuite bathrooms by remodelling our existing ensuite and turning an airing cupboard and toilet into another. Our existing ensuite bathroom was very tired and tight for space. It is now so bright and airy with the folding doors giving us the space to move around when we are not showering. The lighting is subtle and highlights the bathroom design features. Martina has a unique talent that you would really struggle to find in your high street bathroom store.

We strongly recommend Instil Design. You will not be disappointed.”

Tania, December 2019

“Hello Anna, Our en suite shower room is now completely finished and looks really lovely – especially the tiles! I’ve got used to everything now and it all works very well and feels so spacious and light – just as we had hoped. The storage is perfect and it’s great to have the extra shelf behind the sink too. Many thanks again for your lovely design – we-re so pleased! best wishes”
Carol, September 2019

“Could not have wished for a better designer and adviser. Martina’s knowledge of anything to do with bathrooms: fixtures, fittings, safety solutions, comfort and luxury was more than we have ever expected. Tiles, taps, Shower, sink, shelves, drawers and to crown it – a shower toilet became a subject which we never anticipated to know much, but with her help managed to understand the differences and suitability for our, not too large space. We wanted something classic, but with a modern interpretation. And we certainly got it. It is clean, light, with different levels of light, even with one set coming on in response to the movement. Extremely suitable for a visit to a loo at the middle of the night. Heated towel rail mounted on a cupboard door was another solution we would never have thought of. I would advise anybody wishing to have a new bathroom to seek such professional help. It is too expensive a project to undertake without the specialist knowledge.I am so glad that I found Martina. Big, big thank you for such a beautiful design!”
Nowak-Kemp, July 2019

“We couldn’t be happier with our refurbished shower room and cloakroom. InStil Design provided a top-notch service from start to finish and at a competitive price overall; the designs are thoughtful, practical, stylish and exactly what we were hoping to achieve (and so much better than we could come up with ourselves). We compared to many other local and not-so-local options and Instil came out at the best value for money. Design service and follow-through were thorough and Dan the fitter was just fantastic.Highest recommendation, without hesitation.”
C & J Smith, July 2019

“The products InStil Design suggested were stop on and exactly what I had in mind. The quality of the products is excellent, I love using them. The design of both our bathrooms is a dream and a life enhancer. I absolutely love them.Thank you InStil “
Ms A Jones, June 2019

“InStil Design Ltd designed our new En Suite as part of our house extension in 2015, we provided them with a brief description of what we wanted along with the dimensions of the room. The design that they came up with met all our requirements and they gave us various options on the sanitary ware, furniture, tiles and shower screen etc. Once we selected what we wanted they finalised the design with a detailed plan and photographic images of how the finished room would look. Once finished we were delighted with the outcome the room looks fantastic and still does nearly 4 years later we are extremely happy with our new En Suite. The cost of the design and materials was within our original budget, our friends and family have all said that the room is amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending InStil Design for your new building project or bathroom upgrade a job well done from a very professional organisation.”
Mr Morton - May 2019

“InStil did an amazing job designing our new bathroom and helping us create a functional yet stylish bathroom in a small space.The whole process was seamless and fantastic attention to detail. We could not be happier with the results and we would definitely use InStil Design again”.
K Brown - April 2019

“Thanks to the InStil Design team’s ingenious and space saving design I’ve managed to convert a 2 bed house into a 3 bedroom home with a wonderful en-suite!”
Wendy - April 2019

“We are absolutely delighted with our new en-suite designed by InStill and installed by Mike Parkin. Martina at InStill really listened and understood what we were looking for and came up with a design that we would never have come up with ourselves – and we like to think we have vision. We don’t deal well with renovations however the installation went really smoothly and we’re already thinking about doing our family bathroom!”
Dianne & Brett - March 2019

“InStil fulfilled all our expectations in terms of first rate design, quality and service. Were an issue arise it was dealt with speedily and efficiently to attain the deserved result. We are delighted with both our new bathrooms and would highly recommend the company to anyone seeking a perfect solution.”
Amanda & Tom - March 2019

“Great service, attention to detail nothing too much trouble. Fantastic designs to suit all requirements, including cost!”
Liz & Chris - February 2019

“Thank you ever so much for the lovely shower room you have just completed for us. Martina’s design is so nice – perfect for the room and complements the other designs by Instil so well. Again, David and Hubert’s attention to detail and solving problems along the way were much appreciated, the finished installation is lovely. We’re delighted with all four bath/shower rooms designed and installed by you and your teams and are very happy to recommend your work.

Mrs Roots - September 2018

“Karen did a fantastic job designing our bathroom on every aspect. She listened carefully to what we wanted and provided a design that exceeded all our expectations.

Thank you Karen, you nailed it!”
Robert & Harriet - August 2018

“Just wanted to thank Karen very much for the lovely design for our en suite bathroom. We very much liked the design on paper but in reality it’s lovely – the colours you chose are so nice and give the room a lovely feel. We really like the basin plus unit and the bath fits in so well, it’s also very comfortable to use! David and Hubert did a perfect installation with every care to detail and finish which has resulted in a lovely end result.”
J & D Scopes - June 2018

“Thank you to Karen at InStil for a great design. Karen transformed my very small bathroom into an amazing shower/wet room – I am thrilled with the results.

Great service from start to finish – thank you.”

E Croucher - March 2016

“I’d like to thank InStil design for such a fantastic transformation of our family bathroom. We had some basic ideas which Martina instinctively developed further with some inspired design suggestions and choices of quality products, particularly with ‘teenage boys’ in mind. The detailed compter designs and drawings gave a very accurate picture of the end result. The installation team of Kevin and Chris did a fantastic and professional job and were a pleasure to have visit the house. The finish of the tiling is excellent and we’re delighted with everything. There were a few inevitable issues due to the existing plumbing, but these were easily overcome. My vision was to have the bathroom equivalent of a VW and InStil delivered a Porsche! Thank you so much.”
H Tonge - January 2016

“A great design, efficient and customer friendly. Contemporary and functional design with reliable fitters.”
K Flanagan - February 2016

“A very well designed bathroom. The end result came out as promised, we’re delighted.”
M Roberts - October 2015

“One year ago I wandered into InStil Bathroooms’ showroom after visiting several others around Oxfordshire. Martina led me around the original and attractive displays and before I knew it, I had invited her to design a family bathroom, a wet room and an ensuite for a renovation I was doing. Martina was creative and resourceful and respected my wish to create three welcoming and original bathrooms for as modest an outlay as possible, given that we were choosing very good quality sanitaryware, tiles and fittings. I now have three beautiful bathrooms that are admired by everyone and are a pleasure to use. I cannot recommend Martina and the InStil team highly enough. In fact I cannot imagine choosing any other bathroom designers for any future renovations I might ever need to do. Thank you Martina and InStil!”
A de Cosme - September 2015

“Having had such a good experience with our bathroom design and installation by InStil last year, we came back. This time it was a much larger project, including our downstairs cloakroom, utility room and kitchen (yes kitchen!) Karen produced a superb design once again. We sort of knew what we wanted (the cloakroom to become a shower room and the kitchen designed around a range cooker), but didn’t anticipate the complete transformation of our downstairs living space. It is fantastic! Karen recommended Dave Trinder to undertake the installation. In a word, he was brilliant. In our experience, covering two projects now, InStil can be trusted do deliver a visionary, practical design using high quality components. In conjunction with their recommended installers, the projects are completed on time and to a very high level of workmanship. Lastly, the staff at InStil are a joy to work with.”
Mrs Teale

“InStil provided a first class service from start to finish. Karen designed three bathrooms for us that matched our brief exactly. They are both practical and stylish. Karen provided expert advice and it was clear that our project was as important to her as it was to us. Karen was very hands on during the whole project which was part of a complete house refurbishment. She was very responsive throughout. We would highly recommend Karen and InStil (and have done so to many of our friends)”
Mr & Mrs Golding

“Karen from InStil Design provided us with a great design which dealt with a very constrained space, enabling us to add a luxury shower within a small bathroom. Her selection of materials was sympathetic to our old barn while bringing a creative and modern feel. We love it!”
J Reeby

“You managed our bathroom for us last year in Oxford, and I’ve been meaning to write for a while to thank you for such a lovely room which a year or so on looks as good as when it was fitted.Thank you!”
Mr & Mrs G

“InStil have now worked on two bathroom projects at our property, we would not hesitate to recommend InStil and will certainly look to work with them on any other projects.”

“Efficient, exactly to brief. We came to an initial meeting with a clear idea on how we wanted the bathroom to work, after being inspired by a KAMEHA hotel bathroom in Germany, which we liked. Karen is very knowledgeable and offered good advice on areas we were unsure about. We appreciated her attention to detail and found her very helpful, especially after our architect and contractors let us down with bathroom installation. InStil Design suggested one of their recommended bathroom installers who did a wonderful job on a very short notice. We really enjoy using our new bathroom and would wholeheartedly recommend InStil Design to others. MANY THANKS!”

“Karen designed our new ensuite and we were so impressed with the result that we have recently returned to Instil to ask Karen to design our family bathroom. In each case she has created a stunning ‘designer’ look, whilst working within our limited budget. We have been particularly impressed with the way Karen has listened to our ideas, whilst also giving her professional design input to create a stunning look that has surpassed our expectations.”

“We love our bathroom. We were very worried about space but the bathroom looks bigger! We have had some minor issues but they have been sorted quickly and efficiently.”
L & D. Murdoch

“Karen designed a wonderful bathroom for us. She didn’t have much space to work with, but we’ve ended up with a bathroom packed with features surpassing even our expectations. The detailed plans were accompanied by 3D layouts, which brought her designs to life. Her colour choice was impeccable and sympathetic with our existing decor. We liked the way Karen listened to our preferences whilst adding her vision and knowledge. Professionalism seems to be a given at Instil Design and the bathroom was delivered to specification and on time. We are already looking forward to working with her again later this year.”

“Martina at InStil Design was very easy to work with on coming up with a design that looks good and came in within our budget. She listened carefully to our requirements and then made suggestions. She also introduced us to our installer Simon. He like Martina was very professional and took his time to ensure a good job was done. We are very happy with our new Family Bathroom.”
K. Mason

“Taking on our 3 bathrooms could’ve been a tricky challenge with walls being moved and all furniture repositioned but Martina and her work force designed and created exactly what we had hoped for, beautiful, classy bathrooms. Thank you.”
E. Vale

“We are very satisfied with both the bathroom and the en-suite which are both stylish and very functional.”
P. Swaine

“We were thrilled with our new bathroom. Martina hit it spot on for what we wanted, even managing to add in some things we didn’t know we wanted such as subtle spot and under bath lighting. Martina gave a great personal service via email, phone and even popping in several times during and after work to see how things were going. The products themselves are excellent and were installed brilliantly by the recommended installers – Kevin Robertson. We would not hesitate to recommend Martina and her team and will certainly use them for all work in the future. Thanks!”
H. Dorling

“Martina designed a bathroom which is clean, contemporary and calming. Everything I asked for!”
R. Bowers

“We were really pleased with the friendly and professional service Martina gave us in the design of our new bathroom which is challengingly small! The end result is really great and meet our needs perfectly.”
C. Struthers

“A very practical and attractive design, making the most of limited space.”
M. Collins

“Martina’s design was simple yet elegant, thanks to her close attention to detail. She took time to understand both our families needs, our taste and the character of our house to give us a bathroom which is both beautiful and practical.”
J. Day

“It is with pleasure and without reservation that I write a strong recommendation for Mrs Martina Landhed for your consideration as an excellent bathroom designer. My wife and I selected her from among some 4 or 5 other contenders to redesign and upgrade our bathroom. In all respects, the new design, execution and fixtures have met and indeed surpassed our expectations.”
Prof. E. Sheldon

“I find that “designer” bathrooms are often a triumph of style over practicality. Martina’s solution was a brilliant combination of both. She worked effectively and creatively within space and budget limitations to provide a high quality result.”
A. Smith

“Martina proved to be a dedicated and enthusiastic designer who worked tirelessly to source suitable products for the clients’ needs.”
