Big thanks to Sally for her expertise and guidance in helping me bring my home back to life. The brief was to Zhuzh it up and find some new furniture to update our house. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the end result. Sal was fantastic to work with and just got things done! Helping me make decisions which I had put off for so long not really knowing where to start. I Love everything we chose and the whole family was very happy with the end result.

I Totally recommend Sal and her team if you are needing some help and guidance to rejuvenate your home or special place!

Thanks Sally!!

If you’re confused about where to start or wracked with indecision, then Sally is the person to talk to. Everything that was difficult became easy and the end result was fantastic: a 1980s outdated holiday rental turned into a fresh, calm and beautiful space. The process throughout was stress-free, with Sally consulting us at each point to ensure the end product is exactly what we wanted. Given its use as a holiday rental, Sally was also conscious of helping us make appropriate choices for the space – hard wearing but beautiful pieces on a budget. I can’t thank Sally enough for her steady guidance and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her services to anyone in need of help to update their space.

I just wanted to say thanks for performing “over & above the call of duty” on the two assignments that we recently contracted to you.

We are very happy with the end result to which your positive attitude & smiling face contributed in no small way .

We wish you well with your future & if we are in need of further work we will certainly be in touch.

I never thought I would hire an interior designer, but Sally was so easy to work with and really understood what I was hoping to achieve. She has turned a barely used spare room into one of the nicest rooms in our house where we now all enjoy spending time, and also assisted with some changes to our master bedroom. Sally also got me thinking more creatively about spaces in our home and how to use them more effectively (without having to spend money). As someone who is fairly time poor and hesitates to make decisions around large purchases I found the guidance and help invaluable - the fact that we are thrilled with the end results means that I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sally going forward with further tweaks to our home, as Sally has great taste and understanding about what makes a room feel comfortable and alive. Another bonus was that you had access to suppliers and products that I would never had known existed and the prices were more than reasonable. - Julie

Recently a dear friend of mine suddenly lost her life only 5 weeks after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. She and her lovely husband were in the process of selling their home of many years, and downsizing into another gorgeous house, which settled 3 days after her funeral. We knew that he was feeling lost, and needed to be able to grieve and heal in a peaceful, calm and quiet space. Enter the amazing, empathetic and intuitive Sally Walvin from Creating Style, who, after spending a morning with him, was able to envisage the home he needed, and he, in turn, trusted her to create the look and feel to his house, so that it became the home he has now, an individual style that suits him perfectly, but still retains the personal touches and memories of over 30 years of marriage. It takes a special person to understand the psychology of people and their needs- after all, what is more important than being able to escape the demands of daily life by walking into your home and feeling the peace of it being a safe haven. Thank you so much Sal, you didn’t just change a house, you changed a life.

Sally made the seemingly overwhelming challenge of styling our new apartment a breeze.  Sally listened to our needs and provided options and solutions that fitted the outcome we were seeking, gently nudging us back to plan every time we veered off track.

We couldn’t be happier with the end result and the “wow” response of our visitors speaks for itself.

We wanted our new home to look beautiful & stylish, whilst feeling welcoming, comfortable and homely. We have children so it was important for us to keep the spaces functional, child friendly and fuss free.

Sally is an absolute dream to work with. She makes the whole process so easy, listens to what we want and provides endless inspiration. Sally’s passion and obvious love for what she does really shows.
The fact that we get along like a house on fire is an added bonus!

I love coming home to our beautiful space. Not only does it feel super stylish & cool, but it feels like a home. Sal put so much thought and consideration into each space, so it’s comforting knowing that every piece can be easily cleaned and there’s nothing the children can hurt themselves on or break.

Not only has Sally made our house the beautiful home it is, but she has also styled my husband’s office and my cosmetic clinic. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful that we began working together all those years ago. Thanks for everything Sally!

Sally, from Creating Style, is like Santa Claus. No sooner do I mention an idea than she returns with  exactly the right thing, or a selection of choices which all fit the bill! She makes it look easy even though it’s not, because she’s so good at it. What a time saver!!  Regardless of the price, her quality control of each item leaves me most reassured. What piece of mind!! Sally has great listening skills, great passion, great taste, great vision and provides excellent follow up service. I highly recommend her for any job, large or small

I cannot thank you enough for the work that you did for my upstairs room.  Your professionalism, communication, vision and style far exceeded any expectations that I had.  Having had an unused room in a small house was such a waste and by you simply using my existing furniture and items made it into a completely usable space (which everyone now wants to be in).  Your ability to create a warm and friendly room whilst keeping everything simple and low cost was a fantastic experience.  Can’t wait until we start on the next room.

Oh Sally, Just sitting staring at my Zhuzhed up Dining room. Thank you, thank you! You are pure magic with your styling.

After returning from overseas our house needed some love and attention. Sally knew straight away what vibe we were after and with her amazing contacts and suppliers we have now created a relaxed coastal feel to our home. Her approach is warm and engaging yet professional at the same time. The pieces Sally has brought into our house have been thought through, are unique and were always within our budget. We absolutely love the result and are so appreciative of what she has done for us.

Making a new start at age 60 was quite daunting. Sally talked with me about what I was hoping to achieve and then set about transforming my new apartment into my beautiful new home.
She sourced wonderful options from fantastic suppliers that I would never have been able to find myself. And items from different suppliers that compliment each other so perfectly.
What Sally has created is so much more than the sum of the furnishings. It is my beautiful new home that I love all over again every time I walk in my door.
Sally is an absolute delight to work with. Her patience, professionalism, organisational skills, communication, her contacts, and her general loveliness make the whole process so easy and enjoyable.
I couldn’t be happier with what she has created for me.
