TESTIMONIALS
A home should reflect you at your best—comfortable, welcoming, and unmistakably yours. Hearing how our designs have transformed not just homes but the way our clients live in them is the most rewarding part of what we do. Here are their stories, in their own words.

JO& THE HELMS
“I was told before I met Jo that I’d love her and it’s turned out to be true
I wasn’t sure whether I needed an interior designer but after our first phone call I understood that Jo works with clients in many different ways , from whole house redecoration to the lighter ‘hand holding’ approach that I realised I needed. I have a definite style, I’m confident about what I like and also very happy sourcing my own items. However, what I really benefited from was bouncing ideas around with Jo and having her fresh and experienced eyes to narrow my numerous Pinterest pages, curate my ideas and importantly Jo has encouraged me to be brave to press the button, especially on the big ticket items that I absolutely love.
The beauty of working with Jo is that she understands and appreciates many different design styles. She has widened my searches to new designers and also made suggestions that have been perfect and subtly enhanced rooms in our renovation. Jo has been invaluable in liaising with different design shops and contacts making the process so smooth and easy.
Jo Mulvihill’s bubbly personality, professionalism and ultimate good and timeless taste has been an absolute pleasure to have had in our home.”

JO& THE HARRISONS
“I can’t recommend Jo highly enough; she has enhanced the historic integrity of our house while creating a practical and luxurious space. There are so many details to our renovation that I would never have thought of but have totally transformed it.”

JO& THE WHITES
“Jo worked with me on two separate projects. The first project was a staging exercise for our house which had been on the market for a while. Jo was given a specific budget and was tasked with reimagining the property on a quick timeframe to increase views. The project was a huge success as some of the finishing touches that Jo introduced were specifically mentioned by the eventual happy purchasers. The next project was a refresh of the new house we purchased. Jo had a fantastic eye for detail and it was the finishing touches and imaginative details that really made the difference. Jo again was mindful of budget and made some great suggestions from lower cost brands that I wouldn’t have considered, coupled with great advice on investment pieces and overall colour scheme. As a family we were delighted with the results of both jobs and Jo is an absolute delight to work with..”

JO& THE RAVENSCROFTS
“Jo’s approach is a multi-sensory one, not only working on how a space looks but also how it feels. Her designs incorporate visuals, textures, atmosphere and acoustics. By focusing on how we actually live and use our house she helped us create the perfect home that both looks beautiful and feels beautiful too.”

JO& THE HOLLOWAYS
“Having moved to a very special but tired home last year, we found ourselves overwhelmed as to how to make it our own, and were very fortunate to have been introduced to Jo. From the moment she stepped through the front door, she understood our excitement and willingly shared her creative ideas and inspiring suggestions which helped us to make sense of our rather substantial project. She quickly grasped our personalities and how we live as a family and enthusiastically shared her knowledge of materials, colours, textures, and her understanding of space and how it works. Her recommendation for our flooring has transformed the house, as has her guidance on kitchen layout, colours, lighting, storage, shelving, finishes and more. She has helped us to find practical and functional solutions for to how to use the space. Our house is most definitely an ongoing project, and we value Jo’s input hugely, she has diplomatically and gently guided us throughout, helping us to resolve differences of opinion, make the right decisions and create a home that is calm, functional, timeless and unique.”

JO& THE REDSHAWS
“I've had the pleasure of working with Jo on multiple projects, and she has nailed the brief every single time. Her creativity is unmatched, and her ability to understand both your personality and your needs ensures she delivers stunning results. Jo is not only highly professional but also a joy to collaborate with—so much so that we've asked her to work on a third project with us. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for exceptional creative work!”

JO& THE DEKKERS
“Jo was an integral part of our project from day one, providing us with key people who were instrumental to it’s overall success. Jo walks into a room and knows exactly what it needs, whether that's a colour, texture, or classic piece of furniture; she is able to bring a sense of calm, balance and effortless elegance to a room with just a few simple ideas. We feel so lucky to have had Jo on our renovation journey, her thoughtful, careful temperament is matched with a tenacious desire to get things right, this makes for a great partner to lean on during a time of much decision making.”

JO& THE JONESES
“Jo was able to take what was in my head and realise it in every detail, harmoniously throughout my home. Through her knowledge and impeccable taste, each material, texture, fixture and fitting comes together top create a wonderful feeling of warmth that flow from room to room. She has delivered a home and feeling that is uniquely me, and it makes me smile every time I walk into a room.”

JO& THE STEWARTS
“We had been struggling to sell our family home, it was a mix of people being put off by the nearby main road and the chaos within our home of 3 boys, 2 hamsters and 2 busy parents.
Jo helped us look at home with fresh eyes. She put some of our belongings into storage, repurposed rooms, edited what we had and added touches that presented our home with a fresh, appealing outlook. We looked like our best selves! Our home was lovely and it sold quickly. Jo visited a few new home options with us and helped us see their potential. We are now living happily in St Johns Park and have recently completed a full refurbishment with Jo’s help.”
