Interior Design

I live on my own and this is also my first time renovating a place, and B&M team has certainly made the process much easier. What I appreciate the most is their care and commitment to the design - you can really feel that they take pride in their work while at the same time is always willing to collaborate on different ideas. Not having any experience with renovation before, it was quite difficult for me to understand fully the proposed design and budget, and I did feel I had to take a bit of a leap of faith and trust that what they recommended. I do feel that there might be more than can be done in this regard to give me a clearer idea on what I was investing on, particularly since it's also a big investment. But at the same time, I realise that this can also be difficult and at the end of the day, I am really happy with the end result and would definitely use B&M's service again.

Working with Black and Milk is always a pleasure. Both the owners and all the staff are very professional, have knowledge of products and materials and they know how to combine their creativity with the customer's needs by creating unique and functional environments.

B&M have been excellent throughout my project, from the initial consultation, through to the style quiz and design presentations. Always on hand with plenty of patience for my many questions and queries and changes of mind! As with any complex design project, there are invariably some hiccups such as furniture delays, fabrics discontinued, but the Black and Milk team came up with strong suggestions and practical solutions. My project came off the end of a pandemic, with global supply-chain delays but the team handled this so well given aspects were outside of their control. It is a reflection of the robust structure and team they have in place as well the use of reliable third parties such as the builders, window treatment/ curtain guys and joinery suppliers. My project was within budget and I am very happy with the result. Thank you.

Black and Milk have worked to an exceptional level on our Barbican apartment. The design work of Olga and Amnah has been inspirational. Our brief was to provide an interior which was clean-looking and modern whilst at the same time being supremely comfortable, sumptuous, and luxurious. We also wanted to pay respect to the mid-century feel of The Barbican. ‘Modern’ and ‘sumptuous’ are two elements that are not easily combined but what drew us to Black and Milk was hearing Olga and Amnah talk about creating for us an interior that exudes a feeling of warmth and luxury and doing so whilst maintaining the clean simple lines of modern design. We have been very impressed by their ideas and the execution of their ideas through the meticulous sourcing of such things as furniture and joinery experts. Anatoly at Black and Milk has taken care of all the implementation and employed an excellent building contractor to manage all of the works, which means that the experience has been stress-free. The whole team at Black and Milk are lovely people who we are really enjoying working with. The professionalism of Black and Milk is second to none and we can whole-heartedly recommend them.

We have been working with Black and Milk on a high end project for the last 8 months and they have been great to work with. Alongside truly beautiful designs, the team is organised, collaborative with the client and the communication has been consistent meaning the project has kept to schedule. I would highly recommend them.

We worked with Black and Milk remotely, refurbishing and designing a flat in London. We were impressed by their prompt and excellent service. They listened carefully to our requests and did their best to meet them. They had a great network of skilled professionals and suppliers who helped deliver the project at a high standard. The outcome is perfect and we enjoyed the process. It is not only their professionalism, but their human quality as well. Highly recommended!

Olga and Anatoly are the dream team! We chose Black and Milk for our house refurbishment. Decoration of such scale can be a really daunting job, we are really satisfied with their work. Olga led the design team with great willingness to understand our personal tastes, they pay attention to all the details even though sometimes we were cluelessly throwing out ideas. The moodboards, decor options and the quality of the materials chosen were all excellent. Toly is absolutely the best project manager that I have met and worked with by far. He’s always clear-minded, detailed and well communicated. He has found us a reputable builder which is so crucial in carrying out the project to perfection. What we really loved about working with Black and Milk is clear communication, great delivery, near perfect execution, worry-free, and best of all, fnished our project very close to our schedule timeline and budget despite covid-related disruptions. We look forward to working with BnM again on our future projects!

We have been very impressed by Black & Milk’s service. We recently refurbished our flat and were unsure on how best to design the interiors. Through Black & Milk’s style quiz and regular interactions with Olga, we were able to choose our aesthetic confidently and the procurement process has been seamless. Their ideas on the benefits of repositioning doors and improving room layouts were also invaluable. We’re thrilled with the results and have no hesitation in recommending the team.

Black and Milk helped me design and refurbish my new London apartment. The project was not a simple one, as I have a specific taste and high requirements regarding acoustics. However, Olga and Toly were a marvelous team, they took the time to listen and understand my needs before coming up with a design that brought my dreams into reality. The project, as all renovation projects do, ran slightly over budget. But we planned for the unexpected from the beginning and when a neighbor had a sudden water leak that flooded my acoustic floor treatment we managed to pull through with only a slight delay. So I think the Black and Milk team deserves a big thanks for a job well done!

Working with Black & Milk for my new home was absolutely delightful! They approached the project with complete confidence and professionalism. Olgas creativity and ability to merge our practical needs with style is unmatched. Her unique eye helped us create a home that is both practical for children but still beautiful and elegant. I was extremely impressed by the honesty and diligent approach Anatoly had towards scheduled deadlines and the management of external contractors.

We used Black and Milk for our interior design project, and we were really happy with both the process and the results. The team came up with a beautiful design scheme which ticked all our requirements and was delivered within a set budget. They really helped us crystallise our thoughts and build bridges between the sometimes opposing views that my wife and I held on what the design should look like. They were also very flexible in adjusting to our ever evolving requirements. Their communication was prompt, and while the project was delayed due to COVID - which struck right in the middle of the execution phase - we managed to get everything done on budget. We are still very pleased with the process and minute attention to details. Black and Milk helped us tender the construction work and took the headache out of managing the builders and different contractors on-site to deliver a stunning and elegant flat. Overall I would highly recommend Black and Milk for the quality of their designs and the service.

Black and Milk is the best interior designer studio to work with if you are thinking to renovate your place. We were skeptical in the beginning to work with them since they are located in London and we live in New Jersey, USA but everything worked out better than expected. Olga and Anatoly made a few trips to the U.S., they developed the whole design and hired contractors, who they were able to manage from London. When I and my girlfriend bought a luxury waterfront condo (1,500 sq feet), we didn’t plan to make a lot of renovations since the building is only 6 years old. But when Olga shared her designer’s look and showed what our apartment may look like we were blown away. Olga found the ways to expand the closets’ space (x3 times more than what we), which I thought would be impossible. The lighting that Olga came up with is amazing. Finally we have enough light in each room with different options of dimming. In terms of the furniture, Olga was very accommodating and took our preferences in consideration by providing multiple variations of set up for each room. Most of the furniture is custom-made with a very good quality and an amazing look. The project is still in progress but I just wanted to share this review and thank Anatoly and Olga for all the work they’ve done. They went above and beyond our expectations, they were always available and cooperative and Olga’s creativity is a top-notch. If you want your place to stand out and have a modern luxury look, I would definitely recommend Black and Milk. We are still waiting on some pieces of furniture to come along with the kitchen. And we’ll definitely post some pictures once it’s done to share a complete beautiful design from Black and Milk that we can’t wait to see.

It’s has been a real pleasure to work with Olga and Anatoly. They understand not only the design aspect but also all the other practical aspects of renovation. They provided helpful practical advice. Olga significantly improved the layout of our house as she listened carefully to our needs. She was professional and delivered on time. I strongly recommend Black and Milk.

Anatoly and Olga are simply great! On the creative side, Olga has been invaluable in helping us design and come up with a look and feel for our new apartment – very modern without being “luxury hotel-commercial”. Her eye for detail, scale and proportion is also impeccable. In fact, my wife and I would go so far as to say she is more demanding on getting things right for our apartment than we are! She would also suggest ideas and products that we otherwise would never have considered which was great and paid huge dividends to the final look of our apartment! Anatoly, on the other hand, micro-managed the entire implementation of our project efficiently and always with complete transparency – he basically handled all the nitty gritty details that we all dread (especially given that we are based overseas) and followed the project through in terms of timing and budgeting. He even went so far as to get our apartment ready with temporary furniture during our visits to London whilst the apartment was still a work in progress! In a nutshell, he made the project painless and worry-free for us. We couldn’t be happier with Black & Milk! Always professional but always friendly and approachable!

We are now nearing completion of our project and B&M have been just exceptional. They are always professional but also very personable and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with them. Olga is the brain behind the design and Anatoly makes it all happen. Olga has the most amazing taste. She not only helped us create a stunning flat but also managed to increase our storage space by 40%! She always brought brilliant ideas to the table and was very patience with us all throughout the creative process. We trusted her 100% and were incredibly impressed with the quality and uniqueness of the pieces that she suggested for us, some even being bespoke. Our hat goes off to Anatoly. He is very thorough and has made this a stress-free experience for us, which is quite an achievement! He dealt with all the suppliers and overcame all logistics and last-minute challenges. He is impossibly resilient and thanks to his hard work and perseverance we have just the home that we wanted. All in all, we could not be happier with the end result. We can highly recommend Black & Milk.

We have been working with Black and Milk for a number of years now as one of their joinery suppliers. It has been a true pleasure to work with such a professional company. They are very prompt and attentive, and always insist on the highest quality finishes. They have an excellent understanding of joinery and the manufacturing process, and provide detailed designs which makes our work easier, and I'm sure also gives the client a true sense of what to expect. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know.
