“Jane solved all my design problems brilliantly, with maximum efficiency and minimum fuss; I would recommend her to anyone.”

Mr. Harry Bicket, Achahoish

“We worked with Jane on a very ambitious project to create a totally different style of house on the Hebridean island of Harris. We realised that thinking about the house interior right from the outset was critically important, so Jane arrived with her sketchbook before we even cut a turf, working out where the windows should go to capture the best views. All the way through the project Jane inspired us with her creativity and attention to detail. The result is absolutely everything we could have wished for. We cannot recommend Jane highly enough. She is brilliant!”

Paul Honeywell, Oran Na Mara, Harris

“Jane is a storm of ideas and if you have another she looks so sad that you immediately renounce yours, but usually because her one is definitely the better. For the Jane we know, there just are solutions not problems …if you leave her some seconds to find an alternative. As I said, she is a storm but so sympathetic, and so helpful.”

Dominique Collinet, Glenure Estate

“I was delighted with the work that Jane did at the castle, the combination of colours and choice of fabric and carpeting transformed the room into a cheerful, comfortable and practical space for the guests to spend time - but it was done very sympathetically and very much in keeping with the 1890’s Victorian restoration. Thank you so much.”

Mr. David Whitehead, Barcaldine Castle

“We engaged Jane to support us from the earliest design stages of our new build, contemporary home.  Jane proposed designs for the bathrooms and the lighting throughout the house and advised on flooring, wall coverings, room layouts, paint colours and curtains.  Jane tuned in very quickly to our wavelength and came up with some superb ideas that we would never have thought of by ourselves.  The result is a fabulous home that we are absolutely delighted with.”

Paul and Margaret Moorhead, nr. Oban

“I have used Jane’s services for many years, both for the hotel and my home, and have never been disappointed.  Jane provides a wonderful choice of fabrics, wallpaper and furniture, and she has a great eye for design and the detailed finishing touches which can make such a difference. I would not hesitate to recommend her to potential new customers.”

Mrs. Janetta MacCallum, Glengarry Castle

“We have used Jane's interior design service twice now and she never tires in her enthusiasm and encouragement from initial consultation to completed project. Jane's approach to her work is professional and skilled yet her likeable good nature makes her fun to work with. Jane's follow up service is reassuring in that her determination to get things right means she won’t leave a job until the customer is 100% satisfied.”

Rory and Jennie Campbell-Gibson, Melfort Estates

“From a very early stage after our first meeting with Jane, we realised we had stumbled upon someone we would enjoy working with and who would get us the results we wanted for our new home. We are pleased to say we also gained a friend.”

Ken and Tania Williams, Kilmelfort

“We were so very pleased to have found Jane to help us re-model our house.  She completely changed the perspective of our house for the better.  Through conversation, she very cleverly determined what we wanted when we really had no idea. She guided us and added her own genius to develop a design that met all our needs.  Her creativity and “out-of-the-box” thinking, coupled with her experience provided us with a range of possibilities that we never considered.  She created a vision and then a comprehensive plan towards it. 

Our house in Glenfinnan was transformed to a bright, pleasant abode. Among other things, Jane (literally) moved walls to create a beautiful dining room and snug space coupled to a well-appointed kitchen; she added a whole new en-suite bathroom; she changed the windows in the back bedrooms creating a sense of space; she moved doors to more logical locations. 

As well as developing a great design, she proved to be a proficient and thorough Project Manager. She contracted one of the best builders around to construct the changes and she managed the project from start to finish, keeping us well appraised of progress along the way. 

Once the house was finished, Jane designed an absolutely perfect colour scheme. The final touches were furnishings, lamps, cushions, luxury bedding based on a subtle highland theme. The final, final touch was to add a few select pieces of art to hang here and there. 

An all-round great job from start to finish!!!”
