Having been initially introduced to HomeSmiths through an interiors supplier, their involvement in the design and coordination of all internal finishes, fittings and furniture has proved invaluable to our current new build care home project. Our client, a national care home operator has formed a great relationship with Jacqui and David and appreciates their input on all aspects of the project as we approach completion. Their approachability and attention to detail has resulted in further enquiries for our client’s forthcoming workstream.

As Project Manager, the HomeSmiths team’s quick response to queries and suitably detailed drawing information greatly assists when instructing the Main Contractor in relation to additional works and variation of design. This, coupled with their impressive design intent and unique ideas has made HomeSmiths a dream to work with on this project.

HomeSmiths have been a key part of the delivery team for West Kent’s first Extra Care project. I have found Jacqui and the HomeSmiths team to be knowledgeable and understanding of our needs. They were an integral part of our consultation with residents and have been very responsive to specification changes and enhancements as the project has progressed. I can wholeheartedly recommend the HomeSmiths interior design team.

Praise where praise is due. For me this starts with the actual relationship we have formed with Jacqui and David. It has been built on their complete understanding of what we set out to achieve in terms of the feel and concept that we offer to our residents and their families. Our moto is “providing quality care”, and the interiors of our new build, 5 floor, dementia care home had to reflect this, both in terms of aesthetics, and functionality. They also had to have the ability to attract the level of resident we aspired to, and Jacqui was very quick to grasp what I wanted.

The whole HomeSmiths team have always acted professionally, been courteous and humorous. Jacqui and David were always full of ideas, over a long and indeed quite stressful year (because projects of this size always are). All of this without anyone being overly protective of the design, showing what good team players they are; this was very important to me. Having worked with a few designers, there is always a point where there is potential for a clash, however this never happened with HomeSmiths.

Indeed I felt they worked hand in hand with our design team throughout. We could simply not have asked for more in terms of forming a relationship, one that we hope will lead onto more projects. In terms of Jacqui’s expertise, she took on board the issues with dementia, poor eyesight, mobility etc. and in all things she understood our needs and those of our residents. To this end we have received no end of compliments from families, residents and many professionals. As the owner I could not be more satisfied. Please accept this as my personal thanks for the time, effort and pure professionalism shown on The Lindsay

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the whole team for your consistently fantastic service, amazing vision, attention to detail and patience! I was simply blown away walking into the show flat yesterday. It has reminded me of the journey we’ve made over the last 2 years and that it is of course going to be a fantastic scheme

We called in HomeSmiths to design our soon to be opened Dementia unit and they provided us with an excellent service. We gave them a brief stipulation of the kind of environment we wanted to create and they came back to us with a superb bespoke design. They decided to theme it around famous local people – actors, cooks, and singers – and tied it all into the musical name of the unit. The result is a unit with a peaceful atmosphere with iconic photos and art that helps to stimulate our residents and aid in their memory recall. The tactile displays they installed are works of art in themselves: collages that depict different scenes whilst being a mix of vibrant colours and various fabrics. Furthermore, they were efficient and a pleasure to work with both on and off site. We are extremely impressed with HomeSmiths and would recommend them to anyone that could make use of their services.

HomeSmiths are professional and easy to work with, they consistently design and deliver high quality interiors. From an initial design brief, HomeSmiths produced and presented well-crafted and researched mood boards and engaged in consultation work with tenant and independent living officer representatives and other stakeholders.

At the design stage HomeSmiths listen well, draw out responses, make suggestions to refine the designs and ensure client satisfaction. During the delivery HomeSmiths are flexible and quick to respond to design changes with a can-do attitude, keeping in touch with the project to ensure just in time delivery to site.

Not only do HomeSmiths create comfortable, inviting and stylish spaces, with great attention to detail, but also Jacqui brings specialist dementia friendly design knowledge to the project. We have engaged HomeSmiths services on a number of independent living projects and would be pleased to work with HomeSmiths again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Jacqui and David on a recent care home installation – from construction through to completion. The HomeSmiths team were extremely professional and thorough, honing in on intricate details that emphasised their fantastic schemes. Jacqui is especially meticulous with her design for dementia. I would highly recommend their design services for future projects.’
