"My one hour session with JoJo flew by in what felt about 5 minutes. We got through SO much. We discussed all sorts from room layouts to small curtain pole solutions to panelling. Nothing was off limits and didn’t feel at all intimidated with asking her any of my 101 questions. Jojo knew all the answers off the top of her head which is why we were able to cover so much. THE best money I have spent on my house to date! Without question! Thank you Jojo"

Jojo and I were able to discuss three rooms in detail with some expert pointers, complimentary paint colours, room layouts and ideas for artwork and framing and so much more! She even mock sketched up some cabinetry on the spot! Followed on by links to brands and her own recommendations gives a complete touch and I'm now even more confident in the next steps to our renovation, all with a little sprinkle of House Nine Design magic!

"The 1:1 session I had with Jojo was worth its weight in gold! We went through styling and finishing advice for my kitchen, dining & lounge space; rebuilding my confidence in the room & allowing me to feel excited again about making it a home. We also managed to have time to look at paint choices for two other design projects I was working on. She effortlessly oozes design expertise, it felt so comfortable & I picked up lots of general style tips I can use in the future. An absolute inspiration!"

"Jojo was fantastic and I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about doing a project or stuck for ideas! She is knowledgeable and professional but she masters the skill of making you feel totally at ease, as if you were having a chat about your home with a friend. In terms of her advice, it was worth every penny and brought fresh ideas for a kitchen reno without a side return, incorporating a peninsula. In 55 minutes she covered practical solutions and design/colour schemes. Simply the best! "

"Jojo was amazing! Hands down the most useful 55 minutes of my renovation journey. She was able to quickly understand the spaces and provide very helpful recommendations for paint colours, fabrics, and other finishings (things I hadn't thought of but am now very excited by...) We covered more ground than I thought we would in such a short time. I'd thoroughly recommend and will be booking another consultation when I get further along in my project. x"

"Would be lying if I didn't admit to already being a huge fan of Jojo's and I have to say she is just as genuine and talented on Zoom as she comes across on her instagram page! She very quickly understood the brief and the vibe we are trying to attain in our "compromise" house and with it being Black Friday weekend we were quickly able to add a number of pieces to our baskets with significant discounts. I would without doubt recommend a consultation with Jojo, can't wait for the next!"

She offered honest but sensitive comments ("add in some green to warm up the blue."), plus astute suggestions ("if the door swings the other way you'll have more privacy").
