House and home

Has anyone used an interior design service like those offered by John Lewis or Next?

I suddenly got completely fed up with our living room last night. It’s never really been thought out properly - the furniture from our previous house was just arranged by the removal men (seven years ago!) and has stayed like that. I did change lighting and curtains but that was it.
The furniture is too big (apart from the sofa which is now well past it’s best due to being somewhat overused during lockdown!)
On an impulse, I’ve booked a John Lewis free home design service (on-line so that should be interesting).
Has anyone else done this and was it worth it?

I love watching interior decor programs and checking out websites, and I would love to hear ideas from a good interior designer - sometimes it's just that one little idea that makes you see things differently.

Sadly I've not been impressed with the designers we used to do our kitchen and bathrooms - they had some basic skills (like measuring) and ideas from other people's houses but I've yet to meet one with any really original ideas.

Good luck with yours though - I'd like to know how you get on and what they are like.
