Put aside the idea that interior decorators are only for the rich and famous or those with so much money that they don’t know what to do with it all. In reality, they save you a great deal of time and money and headache pills. Whether you have no idea where or how to begin to decorate your home, whether you have an idea but need help tying pieces together, or you simply haven’t the time to make the changes yourself due to your busy day-to-day schedule, then employing an interior designer is money well spent.
BENJAMIN’S INTERIORS It’s like she pulled the images out of my head, she knew exactly what I wanted.
What was it like working with Ruth/ Benjamin’s Interiors? It became more of a friendship. She was there every step of the way, answering my texts, calls, emails (Jayne Laughs). She took all the stress out of moving and sourcing furniture, curtains, tiles, wallpaper etc. for my new home. Were you happy with the outcome? Over the moon. It’s exactly what I imagined and I would highly recommend her and her team. What did you most enjoy about the whole experience? That’s easy – no stress! What difference have the changes made to you and the way you live? A huge difference. I can come home from work and can just relax and enjoy my lovely home. I have no worries about decorating or looking for curtains or carpets and so on.
Vale Life recently asked Jayne Wiseman of Church Village why hiring Ruth Benjamin Green of Benjamin’s Interiors on Penarth Road was a wise and sensible choice. How did you hear about Benjamin’s Interiors? I was recommend by a few friends and overheard people chatting about how much they loved Benjamin’s at a restaurant. How long have you been shopping there? Oh gosh umm over two years now. It is my favourite place to go to cheer myself up. How did you know that Benjamin’s offered a free interior design service? I saw the advertisements in store but was also recommended by a friend.
She only had one room done by Ruth at Benjamin’s but it was done to such a high standard and my friend couldn’t believe how affordable it was. I just love everything at Benjamin’s and there is something for everyone. Which room/s in your home did Ruth design for you? The whole house, from start to finish. As my house is a new build, Ruth advised me on tiles, kitchen units, everything you can think of. Did you have any ideas of your own or did you leave everything to Ruth? It was a combination of both really. Ruth showed me many images and ideas to assess what style I liked and wanted. She put a range of mood boards together so I could get a feel for the decor including fabrics, furniture, colours and even flooring and wall tiles. 44
