My family bought a beautiful Georgian flat last summer but the interior needed a considerable amount of modernizing. Having known Sue, I passed her information on to my father. As well as beautifully designing the interior of our house to our exact specification and budget, she also walked us through every stage of the process and made us feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Sue and the team at Gayfield design have been amazing helping me sort out roman blinds for my new property. The blinds look fantastic, sit perfectly and are of excellent quality. I would highly recommend.
