TESTIMONIALS

MARIA PALM, KENSINGTON
Lomax and Chi helped me with a complete redesign of my flat in Kensington. The worked involved structural work (to create a large kitchen eat-in kitchen and enlarged windows, French doors to create more light ) as well as complete redesign with new floors, kitchen, wardrobes, etc. and a new garden house. Chi completely understood what I was looking for, created a design that matched the brief 100%, got the planning permit, found very high quality contractors and suppliers, project managed everything from start to end and made sure everything was completed to the highest standards. I am extremely happy with the outcome, it’s a complete transformation of my home and I would highly recommend Lomax and Chi.

YH, HACKNEY
Chi Chi was an absolute star! She helped design, plan and advise on so many aspects of our renovation project. She made some changes to the original plans that have improved the structure and layout of our house and given us more space than we had originally envisaged. Her advice on everything from colours to use, fittings and lighting were absolutely invaluable. She's much more than a designer ... she understands how a family home will be used and incorporates small and big ideas that make a home more functional, aesthetically pleasing and valuable. Plus some of her recommendations saved our budgets as well making her inputs very cost effective too!

DAISY RIDLEY, LONDON
From the very beginning of our home renovation Chi Chi has been there to guide us. All the plans were very well laid out and attention to detail was essential. We went through a couple of variations of our design and nothing was ever too much, we appreciated her input and expertise which really shows when decision fatigue happens! She understood our vision from the very beginning, which also make the process very slick. Always willing to go the extra step and support with even the smallest of questions. Her recommendations and expertise really do make the difference.

FARAH TZIRAS, LONDON
“We used Lomax & Chi for a full house renovation project, working mainly with Chi-Chi, who was incredibly responsive, reliable and very easy to work with. She produced full architectural drawings for us, including electrical drawings and submitted all our planning applications and most importantly dealt efficiently with last minute problems & surprises arising from the building works. She was full of clever ideas and being a mother herself, understood the needs of a family home which I found invaluable and very insightful. She worked with us and our ideas for all the colour schemes & fabrics and helped us achieve exactly what we were after - a beautiful family home.
I would highly recommend Lomax and Chi without any hesitation and would definitely use their services again.”

We couldn't recommend Lomax & Chi highly enough.”

KELLY OWEN, CORNWALL
“Highly recommend this company. They were incredibly professional and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble in regards to our full home renovation plans; they were always on hand to ask questions or advice, and their calming and friendly manner made it so easy to share our ideas for our future home, and their expertise and knowledge base brought our vision to life.”

BEN & KATE MCMULLAN, LONDON
“Were it not for Chi-Chi’s dedication and talent, we would surely be sitting in a far less enjoyable environment. For the very beginning we had an idea of what we wanted our kitchen extension to be like, Chi-Chi was able to run with the ideas, presenting workable solutions and creative vision. She worked professionally and flexibly alongside our team of builders and was quick to point out when mistakes on site had been made, so that adjustments could be made before it was too late.
We would highly recommend them.”

JUSTIN & CLAIRE, LONDON N14
“Chi-Chi created full architectural, internal design and small power plans for our new open living/kitchen/dinner area to include utility and bathroom. The plans were beautiful and gave us a completely different outlook and design that we had not considered. Chi-Chi is so helpful and friendly.
We would highly recommend her services.”

ANNE BROWN, SUFFOLK
“I was adding a bathroom extension onto my house, and it was turning out larger than I first thought. Chi came up with ideas that I would never have thought of, and I am extremely pleased with the result. I now have a wonderful En-suite and walk in wardrobe. She has been on call for any help I have required, and it has been a pleasure to work with her.”

SARAH, BRISTOL
“We used Lomax & Chi for a living room renovation. Although large, the room is an awkward shape, and I could not work out how to make best use of the space. Chi-Chi had fantastic ideas and was extremely patient when I wanted to see multiple layouts. She thought about all the small details e.g. radiator location, lighting and even where the Christmas decorations would go in December. “

JEREMY LLOYD, WONDER WORKS
“We wanted our new office premises to reflect our key brand values and also give our staff a relaxing and stylish place to work. Lomax & Chi worked with us closely from working up the initial concepts, full scheme design and then managing the contractors on site. We're delighted with the outcome and everybody who visits always comments on how much they love our space. The dedication and attention to detail of the team from Lomax & Chi ensured a very successful outcome.
We were and still are very delighted!”

ANNA, BRISTOL
“Having been recommended by a friend, we approached Lomax & Chi to help with the redesign of the downstairs of our Victorian terrace. Having Chi on board was integral to creating the amazing space that we have ended up with. She was incredibly quick to understand what we were looking to achieve by way of look and functionality of the space and thanks to her expertise and creative eye, the end design was everything we could have ever wanted. Our building contractors have all been very impressed with the level of detail on all the drawings and mentioned that every conceivable detail was covered. Chi-Chi was very patient with our tweaks & changes to the plans and her ability to provide revisions quickly. It has been so valuable having someone with her skills and vision at the end of the phone / email.
We would absolutely recommend Lomax and Chi.”

SOLENE & LIAM, LONDON
“Working with Lomax & Chi was the best thing that happened to us! Their professionalism, efficiency and flexibility made everything feel easy and possible. Problem-solving, patient, and super reliable, we are so grateful for all the support. We love our home and with our budget could not have imagined it to be this beautiful in a million years.
Highly recommend.”

MELISSA WATERSON, HACKNEY
“Lomax and Chi re-designed my new hackney home in 2016. We completely gutted it and started over and they were instrumental in coming up with designs, ideas and solutions of how best to utilise the space, keep the character of the property, and make it a home that reflected my style. They went above and beyond at every step of the way - from big ideas with the overall renovation to colour palette, to providing clever space-saving options to tirelessly sourcing high-end material to meet my meagre budget! I loved the way they worked - they're really creative and smart and nothing is ever an issue.
Cannot recommend them more highly.”

SARAH & ROB, EAST LONDON
“We approached Lomax & Chi to help us with the internal plans for our renovation project. We have a Victorian terrace flat that needed completely reconfiguring and a new level incorporated. L&C did an incredible job of designing a home that worked for us. With a young family, we needed to optimise every inch of space and they provided us with clever and practical solutions that worked within our tight budget. We found L&C to be really easy to work with and supportive throughout the whole build.
We would definitely use them again.”

MOLLY, SOUTH LONDON
“Having never worked with an interior designer before, I wasn’t convinced if I needed one for my small bathroom refurbishment. However, after meeting with Lomax & Chi, I quickly realised that their expertise would be well worth the extra cost. Jennie was very professional and quickly submitted her drawings and ideas for my bathroom. During our chats she was able to pinpoint what was required and what style I was after. She made several clever suggestions and kept her recommendations within a sensible budget. With so many decisions to make, it was a real time saver to have her great ideas and advice. Jennie was very patient, answering all my questions, and helping to steer the job forward, keeping on track with the builders. I am delighted with the end result. Our bathroom looks so stylish and inviting now.
I would love to work with Lomax & Chi on the rest of my property one day!”

NIGEL DARLINGTON, LONDON
“Chi-Chi has provided a first-rate service, designing a selection of excellent layout options and designs for our house extension. Her approach is very helpful and experienced, and her fees are very fair.
We look forward to commencing works on site early next year.”

JAN MASON, CORNWALL
“The team at Lomax & Chi took all my random ideas and drew them all together to create my dream kitchen. They were very easy to work with, friendly and professional, good at problem solving, sourcing items and extremely patient. The project moved forward and was kept on track as she subtly nudged people along (not least me!)
If you've never used an interior designer before and are wondering if it's for you - don't feel intimidated or hesitate any longer - do it!”
