What people are saying

  • "Bobby is an incredibly talented interior designer with superior aesthetic instincts"

    She is also someone that excels at partnering with her clients to build the best solutions for their home. Bobby has the ability to listen and understand the requirements for the engagement and she displays outstanding organisational skills while managing complicated situations. She has remarkable emotional intelligence and is the provider with whom we maintained a wonderful personal relationship during all the time we worked together since she is also incredibly polite, resourceful and thoughtful.

    She worked with us to identify the best materials and providers for our home in Ballsbridge. She was responsible for executing the due diligence of selecting and managing providers and supervised the installation of the services with patience, attention to detail and a high standard of quality. She took the pressure off our schedule and was always available for a follow up when needed. We appreciated her coming to the house for the initial consultations and for the multiple visits with all providers and the supervision of their work.

    She partnered with us in a broad range of requests: stone cleaning and furniture respray services, designer light fittings, window treatments, creative solutions to update our kitchen, outdoor bin store with ‘kerb appeal’ for street facing garden, and bathroom redesign. For all of those, she provided an integrated end to end service extending from requirements gathering through consultation, advice on design, selection of providers, quote selection and supervision of installation of services for superior quality.

    We highly recommend Bobby as the best partner we had when updating and redecorating our home.

  • "When Scaling Back from our Georgian style home of 20yrs..."

    to a modern home with classical and contemporary styling, I needed expert help creating exceptional interiors that would enhance its high-spec materials and generous proportions – Bobby Lardner came highly recommended.

    Bobby’s innate knowledge of scale and proportion was invaluable. She instinctively understood the style and quality of décor the property required, and listened carefully to discover my personal design preferences. Directing our search for materials and finishes toward a handful of exclusive suppliers she created cohesive, elegant interiors that flow seamlessly in an exquisite, luxurious home.

    She brought depth and character to the rooms with deep-pile carpets and luxuriously layered draperies, lining the walls throughout with richly detailed wallpapers, hung with new and existing artwork and accessories. Bobby’s eye for detail came to the fore when specifying bespoke items of furniture and lighting, selecting materials, tones and finishes that highlight the craftsmanship of each unique piece and enhance our colour schemes.

    We are delighted to have a home that is perfect for both formal and relaxed entertaining. Its sophisticated and comfortably furnished interiors are understated and sleek, and subtly enhance the classic styling of the house.

    As a professional in an industry where every word counts, I found Bobby to be an attentive and skilled communicator. My project undoubtedly benefited from the excellent personal relationships she built with suppliers, which enhanced every showroom visit and ensured that orders were given the highest priority.

  • "Bobby Lardner is my “go to” interior design professional!"

    I’ve sought Bobby’s advice on many interior ‘problem projects’ over the years, so much so that we’ve built a trusted friendship in our work together. She has advised on complete room makeovers, and she also has an amazing ability to refresh existing interiors, editing furniture and finishes to achieve a new cohesive look.

    Bobby’s a pleasure to work with, she is very responsive and genuinely cares about your project. She listens to what you are trying to achieve, brings her own creative flair and attention to detail to design and deliver well thought out interior schemes. (She follows up each consultation with an action plan including suggestions, references and next steps.)

    Bringing years of interior design experience to each project, Bobby’s knowledge of materials, current trends, fittings and suppliers really helps to narrow down preferences, guide you to new solutions, make decisions and support you moving forward with confidence to create your desired result.

    Bobby’s understanding of colour is a real gift however, for me her stand out skill and talent is her ability to pull together all elements of a design scheme to create harmonious interiors that have a positive impact on your home and wellbeing.

    I have recommended Bobby to family and friends who have been equally impressed with her interior design advice and results.

  • “It has been a pleasure working with you on the house refurbishment.”

    Your advice and direction were brilliant, and your understanding of our tastes and ideas was excellent.

  • “Recently, when Rightsizing from a family home to an apartment, we asked Bobby Lardner to help...”

    with the decoration and furnishing of the new home and to advise on what was suitable to bring with us.

    Bobby listened to our requests for certain things and was able to incorporate these ideas to include them in the new colour scheme. She sourced all the items we needed and suggested many great ideas for us.

    We are delighted with how our new, modern colour scheme works with the older pieces of furniture which we brought.

    Without Bobby’s advice and assistance, the move would have been a very daunting experience.
