"We had an incredibly useful power hour with Loni - her preparation and presentation was perfect, providing us with options and guidance to make decisions that we've been mulling over for months. Highly highly recommend! "

"How lucky we were to have an hour with Loni! Obviously her taste is stellar but she had clearly taken the time to review our brief and understand our style, needs and practicalities (young children and budget), and what our non-negotiables were. The consultation was extremely good value, the alternative being repeated expensive mistakes and the room never feeling 'done'! It's very helpful to now have a document with the recommended solutions as Loni sent her presentation through after the call."

"I had a great mini consultation with Lonika. She came prepared with thoughtful textile options and encouraged me to explore color combinations I wouldn’t have considered, adding depth to the overall scheme. Her approach was collaborative while remaining mindful of my personal taste, style, and budget. She also provided helpful follow-up sourcing suggestions, which was a huge win, as those can be difficult to find on your own."
