"I have recently had the pleasure of working with Kate Smith of Four Dots Design when I appointed her to produce a contemporary design concept for the entire of my new build home.

After interviewing several interior designers I felt that Kate offered a wider range of skills and services, not always available with other designers, and was able to work alongside the project architect and other professionals involved in the interior of the house.

My only concern initially was that Four Dots Design was quite a small company. My project was going to involve a great deal of work, as we were starting from scratch, and wondered if this would mean that the pace might be a little slow but I quickly realised that I would not have to worry on that account. Kate was extremely well organised working quickly and efficiently, had lots of suggestions to make, had a wide range of companies she dealt with, produced a very prompt and professional service and was always quick to respond to my emails or requests for information.

Kate was very easy to deal with and made the whole process very enjoyable. She listened to what I wanted and was able to develop these ideas and bring lots of new ideas to my attention.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Four Dots Design and I would definitely approach Kate again for future interior design work."

"I was recommended Four Dots Design when I was planning to replace all the lighting within our house. I wanted to redecorate at the same time but did not have the time to look at all the options myself. Kate was excellent. She quickly seemed to understand what I wanted and made excellent suggestions. She is very patient, pleasant and easy to work with. She is very organised and always responded promptly. She recommended excellent tradesmen who worked to a very high standard.

Considering the time and attention she gave to the project I felt her service was very good value for money. I am very happy with the finished result. I would not hesitate in recommending her and will definitely use her services again in the future."

Mrs S Cooper, Greenhill Gardens, Edinburgh


"We were recommended Four Dots Design when we mentioned to a friend that we were thinking of redecorating and refurbishing our house. With young children at home and busy jobs, we wanted someone who could help manage the project as well as guide our interior design choices. We didn't want to be limited to high street choices but didn't know where else to find wall coverings and furnishings, and also didn't have the time or inclination to do all the searching ourselves. Kate helped us to establish the project remit and budget and then produced a scope of service so that we were agreed on the project goals. She helped us to clarify in our own minds the mood we wanted for each room and produced concept designs for each room.

The most important elements that Kate brought to the project was the coordination of the various elements of the project - installation of fireplaces, flooring and redecoration so that these were done in a sensible order and never ending momentum to complete the project when we might have otherwise stalled. The end result is that our home is transformed and we are delighted with the results."

Ms A Dover, Private Client, Edinburgh


"We were very impressed by the interior design service provided to us by Four Dots Design, the main benefit to us was the personal service we received especially with regards to project management as Kate worked very closely with the architect, main contractor and various trade persons to ensure details were implemented as designed and answer any queries raised on site during the refurbishment.

Four Dots understood our brief and were able to interpret this in to the design concepts, the design options presented to us helped us to narrow down the choices and saved us an enormous amount of time and effort. This resulted in us still having the energy at the end of the project to enjoy the finished product. We enjoyed working with Kate and were delighted with the outcome, we would have no hesitation in working with Four Dots Design again and would be happy to recommend their design services."

"I first encountered Kate & Four Dots through a business networking event where Kate was introduced by a business colleague's firm which had engaged Four Dots on a variety of commercial projects. As Four Dots also undertakes domestic work and has an impressive portfolio of past projects, I consulted with my better half regarding speaking to Four Dots about refurbishing our en suite - with neither of us being designers, we wanted assistance from someone who could bring practical, stylish and current ideas to the table. Any concerns we had about the cost of engaging a professional designer were put at ease by Kate who quickly and clearly put forward the Four Dots scope of work and associated costs. Kate's guidance, ideas, proposals and assistance throughout the project proved to be excellent value for money. An end-to-end service was delivered, including a tender process involving multiple trades firms for delivering the work. The quality of the trades that Four Dots works with was evident - we were very happy with the selected trades firm, the quality of their workmanship and their staff involved in the project.

Four Dots operated an open book in terms of cost of supply of goods and materials – this helps everyone in terms of trust and confidence that procurement is achieved at competitive pricing. Four Dots had a highly professional approach to every step of the project and communication with us was first class. It was a pleasure to work with Kate - her design experience, planning, knowledge, professionalism and project stewardship were key to achieving a new en suite we're absolutely delighted with. I would have no hesitation in using Kate and Four Dots again for future work we will undertake and we would be happy to recommend Four Dots to anyone considering any domestic or commercial project be that new build or refurbishment."
