mister tom bird

I hired Tom to design my home office, and he did a fantastic job. He came prepared with ideas but was totally open to listening to mine as well. He created style boards which made discussing, exploring and narrowing options down actually quite fun and efficient. He had great ideas for storage and lighting, even flooring. He even re-purposed some 1960's file cabinets and wood pieces to create a desk, which not only saved money, but gave the project a unique singular look. He brought comfort to function or function to comfort. My office is a room I love spending time in, whether it's for work or to watch clips, or just play with the dogs. He's also a very good communicator - he laid out the schedule and budget and made sure we stuck to both and kept me apprised of all changes along the way. I changed my mind once or 100 times, and he rolled with the punches on those too. Overall, working with Tom Bird was a great experience, creatively & logistically and I'm thrilled with the finished space!

I hired Tom Bird to refurnish and decorate my holiday home in France. Tom is a great listener with impeccable taste and common sense. His advice and guidance proved to be invaluable. Importantly, he is very collaborative and helped create a interior design that is not only stylish and elegant but also comfortable and exactly to my taste. I highly recommend him.

I hired Tom Bird in 2014 to help refurbish and decorate my holiday house in France. Tom proved to be a great listener with excellent taste and common sense. He made sure this was a collaborative effort so my house would be not only elegant but also comfortable and to my taste. His ideas, advice and guidance were incredibly valuable, and he was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him.

Tom did the complete renovation of my two bedroom thirties period flat in south London 3 years ago. After a positive meeting where I spoke about my vision for the flat ( new england meets Rachel Ashwell's shabby chic) Tom came up with so many innovative ideas practically and design wise and tackled problems such as lack of storage and any period features. I have a bespoke wall thats a bookshelf in my hall plus stained glass lightboxes. Project budget was always monitored including builder,electrics, furniture,lighting. His attention to detail and respect of my vision was impeccable as was dealing with builder timeline and keeping within budget. He really has a great eye for the client's taste and I intend to work with him again when I can afford my next move

I employed Tom as an interior design consultant for the renovation of my property. This involved an extension and the complete refurbishment of a new living/dining room, kitchen and bathroom. Having taken the brief, Tom gave me a selection of mood board as well as many brochures and samples of materials, tiles, and flooring in line with what we had discussed. He listened and responded well to my budget requirments as well as the creative, which was especially helpful. Everything was turned around quickly and even though we had a change of direction on the kitchen Tom was accommodating and came up with alternative choices very quickly. I found the building process to be quite stressful at times and so his calm confident and friendly manner was reassuring. He was very professional and creative but also aware of dedlines. I would recommend him.
