Testimonials
Every space we design reflects our clients’ vision and lifestyle. Here’s how they’ve experienced the transformation first-hand.

Marylebone Flat
"We appointed Hodgkinson Design for the remodelling and complete refurbishing of our apartment in West London (NW1). Andrew Hodgkinson was initially referred to us by friends who had worked with Andrew and his team on their home refurbishing. The team at Hodgkinson Design have the perfect blend of skills and knowledge from design to structural to construction details. They were able to advise us throughout the refurbishing process with accurate and precise information on every step. To give a sense of the scope of the project, all aspects of the property were redesigned including demolition of walls, change of footprint, re-wiring, new plumbing, underfloor heating, outdoor space redesign, new kitchen, new bathrooms etc. Our property is part of a Grade II Listed Conservation area. We spent many hours with Andrew to plan the new footprint of the property and how best to utilise the space. He displayed a lot of creative thinking and came up with ideas that made a tremendous difference to the end result. Importantly, Andrew and his associate had full knowledge and experience of the handling of the planning permissions and necessary historic statements that were required to complete the work. Their knowledge in this area was invaluable and the approval process was seamless thanks to their expertise. The appointing of the contractor that worked on our property was done following onsite visits and a very thorough tender process. We always felt that Andrew was making the right choice for us. Consequently, when demolition and construction started, we were able to enjoy the process of seeing our home transforming without the stress of the unknown. It became a very enjoyable experience for us to be part of this process. With regards to interior design, we cannot praise Andrew enough. We worked in true collaboration until we settled on the theme that we truly loved. We mentioned to Andrew that we wanted the space to be inspired by an urban loft. Andrew managed to design a space that not only reflected the ambition but surpassed it. The use of materials such as steel beams, oak, concrete flooring has created a space with a strong identity yet utter warmth and comfort. Andrew has an incredible eye for details, colours, materials, fixtures, furnishings and space arrangement. The end result is a space that is luxurious yet unpretentious and filled with stunning details. We highly recommend Hodgkinson Design and are truly thankful for the partnership over the years and for designing this stunning space for us. A truly life changing experience!"

Notting Hill House
"When we bought our house, I had a vision in mind — but translating that vision into interiors proved incredibly difficult. We worked with two different interior designers, but neither of them truly understood what I wanted. They imposed their own style, which just wasn’t me. Then one day, I walked past the Hodgkinson Design storefront and met Andrew. From that first conversation, I knew it was going to work. He immediately understood me — my needs, my lifestyle, and the look and feel I wanted to create. The entire team was open, respectful of my ideas, and helped bring my vision to life without ever pushing a particular aesthetic. I had a clear idea of what I wanted, but I didn’t know how to bring it to life. Andrew did. I felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire process, which was so important to me. Unlike previous experiences, where I felt pushed in directions I didn’t want to go, Hodgkinson Design listened and helped guide me in a way that always felt true to me. One of the most transformative aspects of the project was how the team reimagined the layout of our home. Originally, the kitchen and living rooms — on different floors — felt disconnected and cold. Hodgkinson Design used materials, lighting, and flow to beautifully link the spaces. The choice of materials was incredible, connecting walls to flooring in a way that felt harmonious and intentional. Andrew’s attention to detail is unlike anything I’ve experienced — everything was considered, every element had a purpose. He helped design every detail to create a space that truly reflects how we live. For example, in the kitchen, I wanted a seating area alongside a dining space. Andrew coordinated the colours with our existing furniture and art pieces, allowing them to shine while creating balance and warmth. He also introduced me to materials I’d never have chosen on my own — natural wood and stone — which ended up being perfect. He understood my personality and needs better than I could have imagined, and the result was beyond anything I could have created myself. The execution of the project was just as impressive. Andrew brought in exceptional contacts from the construction world — high-end craftspeople, expert wood suppliers, and meticulous stone layers. Renovating a home can be overwhelming, but this experience felt smooth and surprisingly stress-free because I trusted Andrew completely. His service and support from start to finish were outstanding. I felt genuinely looked after throughout. The end result hasn’t just improved how we live — it’s improved our overall wellbeing. Every room is multifunctional: we can host, work, and relax seamlessly. We stayed true to the traditional character of the building while creating a calm, serene environment. That sense of tranquillity was key for me. Whenever people visit, they say the same thing: “Wow, your home is amazing.” It’s such a joy to recommend Hodgkinson Design — the work speaks for itself. I’ve already recommended them to many friends. Andrew is incredibly professional, with an extraordinary network, and I truly believe his clients’ happiness is at the heart of everything he does. He studies each project in depth and explores every possibility, so nothing feels rushed or cookie-cutter. We kept evolving the design as we went, which I loved — the process stayed creative right to the end. Andrew is precise, as you’d expect from an architectural designer, but he’s also artistic and imaginative, conceived, sourced and worked with the artist for the sculpture in the hallway. He has a unique style and deep sensitivity to each client’s individuality. Even now, I continue to work with him as we update different parts of our home — and I’ve asked him to help with a house we’re doing in Madrid, because I can’t find anyone else with his level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail. He’s always been generous with his time and advice. Working with Hodgkinson Design has been one of the most rewarding experiences, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly."

Ealing House Two
"We worked with Hodgkinson Design on a full renovation and redesign of our home, and we couldn’t be happier. They managed us through the full process from design and planning, to execution and the finishing touches. At each stage they brought the appropriate expertise and explained in detail with full transparency what needed to be done. The creativity and the different options they brought to bear to support what we wanted to achieve was first class, and the end result was well above our original expectations. The renovation has truly changed our lifestyle on a day to day basis. Before we started the process we were very wary as we were committing a significant amount to the project and we needed partners we could trust which we definitely found with Andrew and the team. We receive endless compliments on our home, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier interior design services."

Ealing House One
"I had a very constructive conversation with Hodgkinson design, and they were able to visualise all my expectations and beyond. I found nothing was a problem and they made the process very enjoyable. Work on sight took 10 months from start to finish. Which was incredibly fast considering that the whole house was rebuilt plus extensions. All on budget too."

Hampstead
"The house flows beautifully from one area to another and now feels like the family home we always hoped it would be. This is a very special home for my family, and we couldn’t be happier with the result."

Mayfair House
"Andrew and Chris provided fantastic support throughout the whole project. Extremely happy with the result."
