...ABI’S CREATIVE FLAIR AND KNOWLEDGE IS FANTASTIC
Abi helped me towards the end of my renovation but I wish I had involved her from the start. The first value add she offered was to suggest the builder create an attic in the roof as she could see the space, but the Architect had not! This has turned out to be a Godsend, and without it I would have struggled with storage in my villa! Abi’s creative flair and knowledge is fantastic, she made a huge difference to the end result in my home and I highly recommend her. On top of that Abi is a wonderful, wise and kind individual and a pleasure to work with.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ABI TO ANYONE WANTING TO GIVE THEIR PROPERTY THE EDGE WHEN THEY SELL.
I’ve known Abi professionally for a while and have been impressed with her creativeness and attention to detail. Combined with her practical experience as a successful property developer she has a rare set of skills and knows how to use them! She didn’t disappoint.
I most definitely recommend Abi to anyone wanting to give their property the edge when they sell. Without a doubt her expertise will add value!

...THE RESULT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!
Before I put my house on the market I wanted to feel confident in my mind that I had done everything I possibly could to present it to the best of its ability. But I knew I needed someone with expertise and creative flair to look at the house and garden through fresh eyes to see where improvements could be made to enhance what was already here. This is when I called Abi at Kärlek to help me and I was not disappointed. She has an amazing eye for colour and just knows how to put things together.
I’m glad that I listened to her advice as the end result was stunning! If you want to give your house the WOW factor I don’t think you could go wrong by using Abi.

...ABI HAS A GREAT SENSE OF STYLE...AND A STRONG EYE FOR DETAIL
My husband and I engaged Abi to assist us for the purpose of selling. She was punctual, arriving when she said she would, which is important when we all live such busy lives. Abi provided us with an “overall view” of what we were trying to achieve, and suggested ideas, which I personally found helpful. She suggested cost effective changes which were practical. She has a great sense of style, but listens (very patiently!) to mine and has a strong eye for detail. She is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Abi is trustworthy and does what she says she will do.
Our home looks beautiful, and we know that Abi played a big part in its transformation! You and your home could be in no better hands …thanks so much Abi!!

...ABI’S EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, EYE FOR DETAIL CAME INTO ITS OWN... SHE WAS INSPIRING
“My world has quite a lot of stress in it,” hardly sounds like the beginning of a good conversation with anyone, but when I made that statement to Abi of Kärlek she responded with such warm sincerity I immediately felt calmed and reassured, and certainly ready to engage in further conversation with her. Amazingly, we had our consultation at our home within four hours of my initial contact. Impressive!!
I liked Abi immediately. She advised us that, while our home was very well presented, there were areas she believed could be enhanced within a relatively small budget and the time frame we had. Essentially we had a renovated home with an office which required painting before being turned back into a bedroom. So, our partially decorated home was really a future sale prospect, not one ready for the market we now wanted to enter within a month.
We then had to inform Abi we had one week less than we had initially thought to get our home ready for market. And that is where Abi’s experience, expertise, eye for detail came into its own. She was inspiring.
Abi was the perfect way to begin the end of our relationship with this house which has been our home for 21 years. Thank you, Abi, for your good will.

...ABI ABSOLUTELY ADDED VALUE TO OUR GREATEST ASSET BEFORE WE WENT TO MARKET
We were impressed by her passion, attention to detail especially the target market and confidence she would add value to our home. Our initial decision to go with Kärlek was a ‘leap of faith’ which has proven very worthwhile.
Abi the principal is a creative person with a proven interior design background and has also been a record breaking property developer. Whilst passionate about what she does, Abi has definite ideas about improving the property from the kerb to the back fence. Her creativity enhances the emotional connection buyers will experience when viewing the property.
The proof that engaging Kärlek was a good decision was in the number of bidders who attended our auction and the excellent sale we achieved as a result.
The return on investment has proven to us we made the right decision to go with Kärlek. Abi absolutely helped us add value to our greatest asset before we went to market. We have no hesitation in recommending Kärlek for a professional stress free experience.

I’m so happy to have met Abi from Kärlek. The flyer in my letterbox appeared at an opportune time, when I was contemplating whether I should renovate my home, or sell and find a home better suited to my family’s needs. I was at a standstill, and didn’t know where to start to fix the bland décor, damp and cold, and lack of privacy we were living with.
I looked at the Kärlek website and liked what I saw, so I gave Abi a call.
I fully recommend Kärlek. Abi is an outstanding top class interior designer who is passionate about her work! It’s rare to find such superb designer creativity combined with the practical knowledge of the building and renovation process.
I’m a super happy customer!

We would highly recommend Abi as she is a talented designer who has a great eye for detail!
