"Thank goodness you were recommended to me. Before you appeared on the scene I had spent far too long looking for furnishings and fabrics with very little to show for my efforts. Then you arrived and, with only the shortest of briefings, you quickly tuned into my requirements. I think it was only a matter of a few days later that you presented a mercifully focused set of options from which I could make my selections. Your designs and your feeling for colour and texture were spot-on and the final workmanship in the end product was quite superb. You took away so much of the frustration and stress of dealing with multiple suppliers and have left me with a flat that looks and feels something very special indeed. Thank you."

"Jane has worked with me on various projects over the past 10 years. These projects have included modernising a 2 bedroom flat in Westminster and providing interior design advice for our house in Surrey. She has produced colour schemes, and furniture & fittings for bedrooms, the hall, sitting room, kitchen and TV room. I have been delighted with each project. She provides pragmatic and sensible advice; always listens carefully to client preferences and each time manages to produce a scheme that is modern and refreshing but reflects what you want. She also always considers the time frame and client budget and manages each time to complete the project within the agreed budget. She has always been extraordinarily diligent, hard working, and will go out of her way to source what you need. I have received a number of compliments on our home and I always recommend Jane, as it is really a reflection of her talent."

"I instructed Jane Bates Interior Design to completely redo a tired house that I bought in London. Jane took charge of everything from presenting design schemes, furniture and fabrics to project-managing the different trades and presented me with a turnkey, finished, and stunningly beautiful home. I couldn't be happier."

"Jane was asked by us to redesign our sitting room, dining room and bedroom which meant incorporating old family pieces together with a fresh new modern look. We were absolutely delighted with her approach in sourcing materials and furniture giving us plenty of choice and time to consider the best combinations - nothing was too much. Her eye for detail and care we believe it speaks for itself. Fantastic! Use her: we will again."
Jackie & Jerome Lynch
"Jane is an intuitive interior designer with an unerring eye for detail. Her schemes interpret perfectly one's preferences but often include surprise elements, which produce beautifully balanced room sets. She is equally at ease with both the traditional and the contemporary and her very flexible design ideas often provide for a combination of both. One can feel confident that the end result will exceed one's expectations."
