We instructed Cream & Black to help design and furnish our Garden Room. Our brief was an all seasons room, with a contemporary finish. Somewhere you could get all cosy near the fire in winter. And somewhere where you could enjoy drinks from the bar with the sliding doors open in the Summer - bringing the outside in. From start to completion C&B have been so friendly, approachable, responsive and professional. Nothing has been too much effort or work. They have been very flexible tweaking plans and budgets. Special thanks to Laura and Jess who have been at the forefront of the project. And all

The guys were unbelievably professional. Helping me and my wife understand from the roots design structure and sticking to the brief going above and beyond what we were expecting. Hannah & Laura made our house feel huge on the inside by cleverly using natural light and light/fresh colour combinations. They were always there to hand if we needed them and they helped turn our house into something more than we could have dreamt of! Thank you Cream&Black!

Edgbaston Residence
We bought the house to be near to the centre of town but in a beautiful residential area. We immediately liked the impressive entrance hall and could see that the large garden grounds at the back could allow us to create a contemporary feel in an old property. Our instruction to Cream & Black was to create a modern minimalist character which entailed knocking down some walls to open up the house. The look and feel of the house needed to be light with neutral colours to help show off our art work. A lot of design and building work needed to be done and Cream & Black handled
