Domus Venus

Working with Aurore on our new home is the best thing that could have happened - she really took the time to get to know us, and that’s what we liked most about her because then she designed with our family mind. The kids room were so spot on and tailored to their own unique personalities; the kitchen is just amazing: my DREAM kitchen. The living room and dining rooms: they are made to entertain which is something we wanted to do for years and we are so grateful for that. They have a wow factor yet are perfect for everyday living - and that was the exact brief we gave Aurore.

Aurore has been wonderful in creating a home that went way beyond our expectations! Before meeting her, we had very conservative ideas about what a home should look like, the design was more for our friends and family than for us. She challenged us, made us come out of our shell and the result is fabulous - it has colours, is elegant, comfortable, is playful, and our friends say it looks exactly like us!

“Aurore has totally transformed our new house - it has become our favourite place in the whole world! She totally got the spirit of our family: we’re very lively, chatty and colourful; and our home now reflects that. It’s daring, it’s it’s bold and that’s what we wanted. We dreamt of a living space that is a conversation starter with a wow factor, in opposition to the bedrooms which are more muted and relaxing, there is a clear day/night separation and it works perfectly for us. Process wise: we spent a lot of time together at the beginning and then we let her work her magic. Being artists ourselves, we didn’t want to obstruct her creative flow and we’re delighted with the results. Aurore showed us several variations, it went from very conservative to very extraverted and it was very useful to see the renderings to decide. She’s a great listener and a fabulous family adviser too as we all had different views!" Sofia S.

The experience of working with Domus Venus and the final design outcome has exceeded all my expectations. I have a newly refurbished and decorated home that I love, makes me and my family happy, is beautiful, fun and functional (we make use of the space we have, so much better now). Aurore is a truly outstanding interior designer and I have found respect for her profession. She held my hand and led me through the design process to enable me to achieve my hopes and dreams! Her vision and creativity are remarkable. She has also surprisingly, saved me money with her ‘trade links’. Aurore is so charming, hard working and committed, that she is a pleasure to work with. You would be mad not to hire her. She is simply the best.

Aurore designed our home in Central London and we are very happy with the outcome! She is professional and pleasant to work with. The entire process was collaborative and fun! She listened carefully to the brief given to her and delivered several looks for each room keeping both fashion and function in mind. She draws from her repertoire of unique pieces of furniture and fabrics sourced from boutique vendors so you don't end up with a home that looks like everyone else's. Aurore has a keen eye for design, fashion and color and makes sure that she incorporates all of these in every element of furnishing and decor. She was meticulous at keeping tabs on budget and was very organized whilst ordering and managing inventory. Overall, I would absolutely work with her again if I have the chance and you should too!

We were so pleased with Aurore, she has really helped us transform our house. It looks beautiful and completely different than it would have without her. She was very patient, showed us a lot of options for us to decide on, was very flexible and always available. She has amazing taste and when we started the project I was very hesitant to go for bold choices, but everything she suggested was brilliant and now I wish we would have gone even bolder! The renderings really helped understanding how things aere going to look in setting, especially for wallpapers. As we were at the early stages of a full house renovation with 2 extensions she helped us find professionals to do all different kind of jobs, masonry, wooden floors, painter etc. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant interior designer!

Working with Aurore has been a pleasure from start to finish. She came pretty quickly with several schemes for us to see in which direction we wanted to go, and once this was set, the process was ver smooth. The 3D renderings are immensely useful as we could see exactly how our home would look.We tried many colour schemes and we went for something a lot more daring that we would have gone for, thanks to the visualisations. I felt it was a very cooperative project but at the same time I wasn’t feeling stressed, I knew we’ll reach the perfect result and we did! I am so happy with my new home and to have hired her; we always get compliments. Aurore also speaks Italian and French which came handy in our project!

We manage several properties in the south of France and asked Aurore’s help to renovate a block of 8 studio flats on a minimal budget (under 1800 Euros/flat). Aurore delivered the designs for the 8 flats, all with a different style (we specifically asked for that) within 2 weeks. It comprised: furniture, decoration, colour scheme, rugs, accessories, lighting, and even all the necessary appliances to rent it out straight away such as kitchenware, all the way to bedding and sheets! Being small units, multi functional items where essential and we were very pleased with the results, we got great sofa beds all bought in private online sales, designer lighting, etc. It all looked a lot more expensive than what we paid for! She ordered everything for us and organised the installation even though she was based in London. Overall a super smooth project, on budget and on time. Will definitely hire again when we get new properties in that need a makeover.

Aurore worked on large flat that we split in two (one for us to live in and one to be rented on Air BnB) and she did a brilliant job on both: our flat is bright and modern, we didn’t want to spend too much straight away so we decided together what to buy now, in 6 months and in 1 year; exactly like we wanted. The rental flat is a master piece, she found great eye catching pieces (at super competitive prices) and colours that really made it different from the ones on the market and we have an occupation rate of over 80%! In 2 months of renting it, we had already recovered the costs of the furniture which was brilliant for us.
