Zanda Russell Design

Zanda has now created 4 sets of beautiful curtain/blinds for us to a very high standard. She is a pleasure to deal with and is creative, having come up with a great solution for some tricky dormer windows. She has recommended some excellent websites for sourcing fabrics (and lamps), and delivers in accordance with agreed deadlines. Pricing is very reasonable and in summary we are delighted with her work.

Zanda has made a large full length curtain for me and 5 roman blinds in another bedroom. I was impressed with Zanda's work, but what really surprised and impressed me was the advice she gave in the design process of what style of curtain I should choose and why. She has a really good eye for detail and is meticulous in making sure the curtains hang properly and are the right depth out from the window. She gave me lots of advice about what track to buy and where it should be fitted. I think interior design is a passion of hers and you can see that in the advice she gives. She advised me on the size of pattern for the room and the weight of the fabric. I will definitely get her back to make curtains and blinds for other rooms in my house.

Zanda has just made and fitted 7 Roman Blinds for my kitchen/diner. They look fantastic, the workmanship is immaculate and I couldn't be more pleased. She made and delivered them on schedule for a very reasonable price and also saved me a large sum by recommending a supplier for my designer fabric. In this current health crisis, she has also been scrupulous in social distancing and sanitising and on top of all of that she's a very nice person. Thank you Zanda.

Zanda has made some beautiful Roman blinds out of curtains from my old house. The blinds are wonderful, the service was faultless - friendly and efficient - and I am thrilled. Budget was as agreed, as was schedule.

It is a pleasure for me to write this review for Zanda who has made 2 sets of fully lined curtains for me. I feel very lucky that I was able to find her. With good quality fabrics costing as much as they do, you want to be sure they will be beautifully made. Zanda’s work is impeccable. The fabrics I chose were not easy to get right as they have embroidered lines of leaves/stripes as a feature, and amazingly Zanda managed to line these up with the headings used so they are displayed in all their glory! As previous reviewers have mentioned, Zanda has a lot of good design ideas which were very helpful to me as otherwise the choice out there is bewildering and certainly I wouldn’t have known about what linings and headings to use to best effect with the fabrics I chose. Again I can echo previous reviewers in saying how pleasurable it was to work with Zanda, who is very cheerful and friendly, as well as very responsive and totally dependable.

A Fabulous job. At last we have curtains to be proud of. Zanda helped us navigate through the vast number of decisions needed to get the right fabric in terms of design, weight and cost, for us. Friendly and professional service, the curtains arrived when expected and were fitted with seeming ease which can only mean that all measurements were good to start with. Highly recommended.

Zanda has made curtains and blinds for three rooms in our house and we are very pleased with the result. She is friendly and helpful, giving us good advice on options and materials and her work is of a very high standard. She is a pleasure to work with - professional, efficient, great value for money - and we recommend her highly.

I am now the proud owner of three beautifully made roman blinds which hang in my bedroom and bathroom. Zanda was recommended by a friend and was a joy to work with; very accommodating with her time and very prompt in making up the blinds. Zanda also repaired and re-hung some roman blinds in a spare bedroom - all in the interests of recycling. A very lovely and friendly person who I will definitely use again to do the kitchen blinds at some point in the future.

Zanda was recommended to me by a friend. After asking her to make a set of roman blinds for one bedroom, soon after they were fitted I asked her to make another one for another room. The blinds are so beautifully made with lining and black out lining and they fit absolutely perfectly. I can recommend her so very highly!

We have now worked with Zanda, on a variety of home projects, for nearly 3 years, returning to her for her consistent, quality, flexible approach. She has worked with us across five separate room projects, from overhauling sticky curtain tracks, via making individual bespoke soft furnishings (including 8 cushion covers, 2 Roman blinds, a box pelmet and a stool cover) through to a complete room scheme (consisting of a complex bay window box pelmet, 3 Roman blinds, 2 faux curtains with tiebacks, shaped bench seat cushion with cover, loose cushion with cover, table cover, table runner, 6 chair covers and 2 seat pads). For the most part, we have sourced and provided her with the fabrics but she has complemented our ideas and design resources by suggesting and procuring additional trade-only trims and accessories which have added the finishing touches to our schemes and on which we would have missed out but for her. Nothing we have asked her to do for us appears to have fazed her and she has always been personable and positive in her approach. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the interior design world, coupled with a practical, hands-on, can-do attitude, which results in professional schemes, expertly executed, delivered on time and on budget - and contented clients. We are happy to recommend her wholeheartedly and intend to continue working with her in the future.
