Margot Klockmann Design

Margot is a consummate professional. Our apartment renovation project could have veered or erred many times but Margot kept us on track. I subscribe to the Steve Jobs-ism that design is in fact about how things work, not about how things look. And vis-a-vis our reno project, we needed Margot not to decorate but to actually think through how all the spaces work. That's an interior designer. And that she did. I believe that my spouse and I came up with a fairly coherent brief. We had a budget in mind, and were designing to that budget, we knew the use cases of the apartment (WFH studio during the day, creche in the afternoon, cinema at night) and did some thinking through many of these elements before we came to Margot. So I think we got a great deal of value from MKD by virtue of the fact that from signing the contract we could skip the conceptual mumbo jumbo and just dive straight into details. If you are looking to hire someone who will deliver the trendiest interior at an unknown price and you don't have to do any of the work as a client then MKD may not be for you. If you want quality design overseen by someone who keeps a sharp eye on the budget and is eager to deliver outstanding value to the client than I cannot recommend MKD highly enough.

Absolutely thrilled at the amazing job Margot did in the complete selection of furnishings, home decor - indoor and out, for our new built home. I engaged Margot whilst in the knock down rebuild of our new home with an open brief of all furnishing for our home from lounge/dining, bedrooms, bathrooms, study the list goes on. Margot started with a shell and we finished with a very comfortable, warm and inviting home. Margot was very easy to deal with, professional, polite and very knowledgeable. Margot’s ideas and suggestions were second to none, Margot understood what we wanted, with lots of help during the whole process of coordinating colours, selection and shopping, with visual boards for colour selecting and trying out different furniture selections was made so detailed and made the process fun. Our new house immediately felt like home when we moved in, even down to freshly made beds with new linen in all bedrooms. All trades were coordinated via Margot, furniture assembly and installation and hanging of artwork on the walls. Can highly recommend Margot, from small to big jobs that you need help with. Thank you Margot for an excellent service.

Working with Margot was a great experience. From start to finish she listened to my needs, was professional and went above all of my expectations. I am so happy with the end result. I would absolutely use her skills again and highly recommend her services.

Attention to detail every step of the way! We engaged Margot to redesign an attic space, with sloping ceilings, so that it could be used as an alternate master bedroom with full sized bathroom, bedroom, built in wardrobes and a study area with a budget of 100K. At our initial discussions we indicated that we liked the Scandinavian Style, however, then changed our minds to go with a Hamptons/ Colonial style. Margot was understanding, flexible and just changed gear. We loved the concept she ultimately came up with, the quality of materials/ textiles she suggested and the professionalism of the trades people she recommended. She navigated Covid restrictions professionally, and managed all the teams effectively. Indeed Margot’s communication is second to none! Most importantly we are delighted with the finished product! It ticks all the boxes functionally and feels like a sanctuary. I thoroughly recommend MKD from start to finish!

Margot is a natural and absolute professional in her area of expertise. Her insight into finding the perfect print for my formal dining curtains allowed me to achieve the perfect balance of elegance and modernity in the space. I cannot thank nor praise her enough!

I highly recommend Margot she was a absolute pleasure to work with. She made the process of redecorating our dining room a seamless and hassle free process. We are so happy with the result and how she helped us realise our vision and she even gave careful consideration to ensure the materials selected were not only beautiful but practical and pet friendly.

Margot’s design ideas are fabulous. She was able to interpret my wishes and presented several options for each room at different price levels! I am so happy with the rooms she designed in my house. I still walk into my bedroom and think what a tranquil space she designed! My mother-in-law was so impressed with what Margot had created in my house, that she engaged Margot to redesign living area in her house. It was a total transformation!

Margot Klockmann has been a wonderful interior designer to work with. She really considers functionality and is budget conscious. Margo is very easy to communicate with. She listened to my ideas and brought her own expertise to create a beautiful living space that I love. She was great at following up workman and ensuring work was done to a high detail. Always on time. Her use of colour and knowing what works is exceptional. Would highly recommend.

I was thrilled with the furniture that Margot sourced for me. She listened to my brief and came up with options that fitted my needs perfectly. Furniture arrived in a timely manner and Margot kept me informed re delivery every step of the way. I would recommend using Margot with no hesitation.
