Number 9 Bistro, Darras Hall
'I have a small bistro on Darras Hall, Ponteland, Lorraine was a customer of mine drinking coffee...... the rest is history, she listened to my glitches and then came up with the goods. The Bistro is being admired by everyone, it’s been the last part of the jigsaw to refine the business. Thank you so much Lorraine xx'

“Lorraine did a fantastic job, helping us to make the most of our living space. This is especially difficult having two small children to think of as well. My wife and I are really pleased with the results, our house is finally a home and we look forward to using Willow and Maine to complete the rest of the house in the future.”

'When we decided to put our house up for sale, we knew that we needed to declutter, but other than that we didn’t really know what else to do.
I knew that Lorraine did home styling so we decided to ask for her help.
Lorraine came for a free consultation, and as soon as she started making suggestions of things we would have never that thought of, we knew we had made the right decision. Lorraine then came and spent time with us, moving furniture, decluttering, placing candles, vases etc and flower arranging, the results were fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. We wondered why we were selling!!
When the Estate agents came they commented that they sometimes suggest making changes but in our case there was nothing that they would change. The photography team also commented that it make their job much easier.
When we have shown our family the video and photographs they all commented that the house had never looked so good.
We cannot thank Lorraine enough for all the help, advice and hard labour she has given us! We would definitely recommend her services and will most certainly we will be using her in our new home for interior design!"

Cottage in Prudhoe
"I first used Lorraine's services in 2017. I had my house up for sale in Whickham for over 5 months with lots of viewings but no offers. Lorraine visited the house and suggested dressing the house to help it sell. The estate agent took new photographs once the work was complete and the first people who viewed, made an offer. I then asked Lorraine if she would help with the interior design of my new house in Prudhoe. We agreed a brief for the design and budget and she always kept me informed with everything from developing the designs for each room, the mood boards and the items to be ordered. She also arranged quality local tradesmen to do the required electrical work, decoration, blind making and joinery. Loved Lorraine's design ideas. I could have gone absolutely crazy as there was so much I would like to have bought! The transformation is absolutely amazing with the budget I had. Looking forward to doing the next rooms in the house".

'After years of struggling with an area of our house which is a dining room/living room/kitchen & hallway, I finally contacted Lorraine. I'm so glad I did!
The process was so easy for us. Lorraine arranged everything and worked with us to ensure the style suited our taste. We now have a beautifully decorated room which really works for our family. I definitely recommend Willow & Maine'.

Interior Styling, Hexham Lodge
"April Cottage was Jess’s dream of creating a holiday lodge for children teenagers fighting cancer. As a family we have built the lodge and after meeting Lorraine at a network meeting, Lorraine has transformed the lodge into a beautiful holiday home from home which includes lots of homely touches of soft furnishings and lovely pictures.
I could not have achieved this without out your professionalism, dedication and your time donated for free. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. "

Interior Styling, Ryton
"We have had the pleasure of Lorraine undertaking a project for our home. Working with Willow and Maine was so easy, we told Lorraine what kind of things we liked and she came back with a mood board and ideas that we loved. We are so happy with the finished look and wouldn’t have picked the items ourselves so it’s definitely worth getting an expert in before spending money on decorating etc. All our guests comment on the new look. Over the moon and would recommend in the blink of an eye. We will be using her services again".
