Goodchild Interiors

Gill and Paul take a brief and come up with ideas beyond your greatest expectations. They have great big idea designs and also beautiful finishing detail. Highly recommend them for any design project big or small - your house will be more beautiful than you thought possible!

Paul and Gill provided a full architectural design service and supported us during our build project. They also provided designs for interiors, designed bespoke furniture, and managed the decorating project. Their designs (both architectural and interior) were bold and striking, and with their help we feel we have a unique home. They are ideal partners in your project. Their ideas are big and bold, but they are happy to tailor the designs to your taste/budget. However, our advice would be to "be brave" and be as close to their original designs as you dare - you won't regret it.

We instructed Goodchild Architectural Interior Designers to design our part of a Grade listed building built circa 1850's that was once derelict to a haven that we can go to regroup as a family on weekends. Paul & Gill are designers with the most incredible vision. You feel a relationship as a client as very listened too whilst also challenging and exploring boundaries. This produced the most outstanding results better than what we could have ever imagined. The outcome was a balance of the very old original with cutting edge new in a very sympathetic approach that is so us without originally understanding how the real us could be captured in such a unique special way.

I have worked with Goodchild Interiors for almost 15 years on several projects in our home, from simply redecorating a room to a major renovation and extension of the whole house. They have always worked to maximise my ideas, welcomed input, and been inventive. They are cost conscious and still innovative. Gill Richardson's understanding of colour is humbling. She has also consulted on colours for our holiday home, and I am always amazed at her ability to come up with combinations that achieve what she says they will achieve. I trust her implicitly. Paul's vision has never failed us. They are a delight to work with. They are prompt with responding to requests, and keen to follow up. Their attention to detail is second to none. Their work is personal and does not date. We are as happy with the renovation we did 8 years ago as we were on the day we moved back in. I recommend Goodchild Interiors without reservation.

Goodchild Interiors was instrumental in the design and finish of our living room. We were having real problems deciding on a colour scheme as we live in a Grade II * listed Georgian terrace and we wanted something that was respectful to the history of the location but also had a contemporary feel. Size as also an issue, the room being 35 square meters with 3 meter high ceilings, but Paul and Gill came up with a scheme which met all our requirements. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Goodchild interiors helped me visualise the interior of my house in a way that was understandable to me. When I came across them I was in the process of building a high spec sustainable house, but I was struggling with the look and feel of the place. I knew how many rooms I wanted, but didn't really know how I wanted them to look. As a novice I had no idea how to approach the details of each room. When they suggested making a scrap book of images and items I liked, it all began to take shape in my head. Then they gave me loads of advice on where and when to source things such as lights and bathroom fittings. The service they provided was relaxed and helpful, their ideas were stylish without being pretentious, and I never felt undermined or stupid in an area where I felt both. I would highly recommend them. They are professional, personable and knowledgable without being condescending.
