Client Testimonials
Will Slack Design reviews, York
Ali Stewart
Extension & Remodel
"We were nervous about our first major build, but Will guided us throughout. He respected the soul of our Victorian home while transforming a dark, dingy kitchen into a stunning, light-filled space. His practical approach and eye for design made the entire process fuss free. We’re over the moon and have already recommended him to all our neighbours!"
Lesley Frost
Orangery Extension
"After many years deliberating how to achieve a garden room to sit happily with our period house and replace an old cold conservatory. Will came up with a fabulous design and working together we now have exactly what we wanted. It’s an absolutely perfect room bringing the outside in and we now use it all year round."
Jenny McGuire
House Renovation
'We used Will for an internal remodel, furniture design, kitchen planning and project management of our renovation last year. Will was great throughout, clear communication and a great source of knowledge through my many questions! We’re so pleased with our home and couldn’t recommend Will enough."
