Jenny Wood
Interior Designer
“Good design isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty. Marrying looks and practicality; designing spaces to suit the way you actually live, rather than how you think you ought to live, or following a trend.
For example, if you’d love a minimalist look but know in reality you have hundreds of books and could never bear to part with them, then we can work with that—and design beautiful bookcases with shelves at just the right heights to display them”

What clients say about Jenny
Interior Design, Dulwich
“We really believe that seeking Decorbuddi’s help was a great call. Our project consisted of a side infill extension and internal renovation of our house, in two phases, between 2022 and 2024. Engaging Decorbuddi has without doubt led to a much much nicer finish than we could have imagined and we have definitely recouped our fees many times over.
Jenny Wood, our Decorbuddi, is an absolute rockstar! She has the unique blend of someone who is not only well informed but also has great listening skills. She was able to decipher what we had in mind (vague at the best of times!) and convert it to reality. Getting her to sketch out the options made the whole journey a lot more pleasant as both my wife and I were busy with work and a young family. She has been super responsive when we sought out advice on all matters big and small, sometimes at awkward hours and was a sounding board with a great solution for every surprise that we faced along the way.
Jenny is very well connected in the industry. I remember one particular instance. We were resigned to a suboptimal kitchen design after visiting multiple kitchen companies. Once Jenny came onboard, she realised what we had settled for was sub optimal. She gently challenged us and encouraged us to visit one of the kitchen companies she had worked before. With Jenny’s input the kitchen company provided a far superior design (30% more storage space without any compromises) without increasing the costs. Another example was when we had a surprise with our existing fireplace. Jenny reached out to her contacts in the industry and came with the right solution in a very timely manner.
We were so pleased with Jenny’s inputs that we sought her help again while redecorating the house early this year. Jenny, thank you for all your help in making our home what it is today.”

“I've been working with Jenny Wood from Decorbuddi for a couple of years now and I highly recommend her and her team. Jenny has helped me transform my house into a home; reflective of my personal style with 'wow' factor features throughout the house. Jenny is very personable with excellent knowledge of interior design. She listens and offers advice based on colour schemes, textures, styles and materials that she knows I like. She's encouraged me to trust my instincts when decorating which, has given me the confidence to carry on the work independently after our design meetings. She's introduced me to a wide variety of exceptional brands, artisans and tradespeople that I never knew about. She's been able to arrange discounts for wallpaper and fabrics thanks to relationships that Decorbuddi have established with top suppliers. I am incredibly grateful to Jenny for her hard work, guidance and support in helping me to decorate my now, beautiful home. I really couldn't have achieved what I have without her. I wholeheartedly rate Jenny Wood and Decorbuddi with 5+ stars.”
Renovation, Crystal Palace
“When tenants wrecked our London flat, we were heartbroken. We live 200 miles away so overseeing a renovation and redecoration from such a distance – and with a limited budget – was going to prove incredibly stressful.
Thank goodness for Jenny Wood at Decorbuddi. She listened to our requirements carefully and gave us very wise and realistic advice about what could – and couldn’t – be achieved with the time and money available. She recommended fantastic businesses who could help, suggested brilliant ideas to freshen up the decor and make the flat more appealing to tenants, obtained quotes and liaised with trades during the work, involving me in every decision from the design of the kitchen to the finish of the new door furniture.
I am so pleased with the end result. That flat has gone from drab, dark and tired-looking to light, spacious and attractive. The fact that tenants snapped it up at the very first viewing before we’d even had time to put it back on the market is testament to her hard work.
I’m not exaggerating when I say I couldn’t have done it without her. She has saved me months of time, thousands of pounds and no doubt a nervous breakdown (!). I would recommend her 100 per cent if you’re needing someone to transform your property.”
