Naomi helped me prepare my aunt’s house for sale. The house (an end-of terrace in Newnham) was, in estate agents’ speak, “an opportunity to make it their own”: it had not been improved or renovated for decades. Naomi helped me decide whether or not it would be worth spending some money on redecorating and tidying up so that a family would happily move in, or whether to sell the property unimproved.

We decided to take the punt, spent under £15,000 which I suspect added around £130,000 to the eventual £1.1m price achieved. The house looked superb, the buyers were happy, and so were we.

 Working with Naomi was an absolute delight at all times – quick, creative, frugal, and just a happy experience all round. I can’t recommend Naomi enough.

We engaged Naomi Rayner to design a new kitchen, utility, Dining and sofa/chilling area as part of our house extension. Naomi was very easy to deal with and had some ingenious ideas as to how we could best use the spaces. We wanted a beautiful kitchen that would be of lasting quality but unfortunately on a restricted budget. We also wanted the space to be supremely practical but to also a wonderful entertaining space. One of the benefits of Naomi is she knows where to trim the costs right back and where to spend to get the best bang for your buck. We are now installing a series of beautiful ‘rooms’ that we couldn’t be happier with. Highly recommended.

Naomi helped me finally stop dithering and decide what to do in my kitchen without it being too dramatic a change nor too costly. Her suggestions were ones which I would never have thought of. My sink now looks out onto the patio garden and I can watch the birds feed while I wash up. I was able to reuse the furniture and fittings which I wanted to keep.  I am now so happy with my ingeniously designed, practical, bright, spacious kitchen. Gorgeous!  Everybody who comes into the house just says WOW!

 Simple, helpful cost-efficient advice.  Thank you, Naomi.

Naomi adds value, no question. She has made excellent suggestions on how to ensure areas of our home function better, look great, and flow properly. Her address book full of suppliers has undoubtedly saved us money and stress along the way.

“At the age of 78 I was moving into a semi-detached house of a kind you find all over Cambridge; late Victorian with the front doors in the middle and a bow window on either side. Naomi project managed the ‘future-proofing’ of my house from start to finish, making suggestions and helping with the planning phase. Structural work included removal of a two floor chimney breast, a ground floor extension, an additional bathroom upstairs, and moving the downstairs loo. Her advice on taking the plunge and installing underfloor heating was well worth it - I now spend 90% of my time in the newly reorganised part of my house which is always warm!. During the project the builder became seriously ill. Naomi took over the day to day management of everyone who was already working on site and oversaw the completion of the project”
