Family Spaces

There is so much to commend Born and Bred Studio that it’s difficult to know where to start. Lisa lives and breathes design, it’s not so much a passion or an expertise but a true vocation. For novices like myself, she manages to make interior design accessible, affordable and user friendly. She listened intently and worked hard to understand the practical needs of our house and also our aspirations for the space which was nothing more than shell, practically untouched for 60 years. She took on board our ideas, improved them - often suggesting something different that we would never have originally considered - and delivered plans that have far surpassed our expectations. Crucially, Lisa isn’t just an ideas person. She has many practical skills from upholstery and curtain making to screen printing which she put to good use in the house. She is also an absolute magpie and never failed to amaze us the her ebay, gumtree and car boot sale finds. This was not only gentle on our budget but has resulted in a house that’s not ubiquitous and that is now really starting to feel like home.

“We worked with Lisa on the design for an existing structural build. She helped fully design our living spaces and daughter’s room and we love the final result!

We’d highly recommend Lisa!”

“Lisa has been brilliant to work with. We knew what we liked but not how to recreate it on a budget and in our own home. Lisa was able to bridge the gap from the idea on the tip of my brain to a coherent design and shopping list.

She very much incorporated our ideas and special requirements into two beautifully designed bathroom. The service provided was exactly what we needed in that she was able to craft a design around the hodge podge of items that we already owned to create something beautiful, stylish and quite timeless (in less than 2 weeks!). We were given choices between very expensive and cheaper items so that we could stretch or constrain our budget as required.

We are looking forward to Lisa helping us with the rest of the ground floor as our renovation progresses.”
