We live a couple of km outside Trogir and used Kolonada for our interior design. On a (very!) low budget, they produced some really good results. Also, they listened to us about what we wanted, which has to be a first! They are a run by a British-Croatian couple based in Split. www.kolonada.net |

we are friends, but they are still a very good interior design team. (We met through our need for an interior designer).
Sometimes people ask for advice on these forums ... "how to buy property" or investment type questions and I am reluctant to give the advice. its my job and I know the subject well but it seems to be eternally open season for shooting estate agents. I do understand the cyncism because there are a lot of rogue agencies out there, but I'm not one of them.
Craig & Anita at Kolonado did the interior design of my house. It looks nice, so I recommend them to people. If it looked horrible or the work was poor then I wouldn't recommend them. (By the way stay clear of Aran Kitchens as they fall into the 2nd category).

I was just being a mischievous imp! You sound alright to me!!!...and Croatia needs companies based on "good service" and I'm sure that's what you bring.

I have used Raemie Interiors to furnish my apartment as have other buyers in the block. The partnership is Irish/Croatian and I have been very satisfied with their efforts. They actually took me to visit a variety of furniture shops so I could choose for myself. I can honestly say they have been the bright light in what has turned out to be a nightmare experience!

I agree with Polly. I used Raemie Interiors when furnishing my apartment in Ciovo. They were most helpful, and above all listened to what I wanted. They incorporate my style and needs into a full package. Also they work to rental standards if you wish to rent your property. Eimear was very patient with me and what I liked most was she wasn't pushy, also she is based in Split and has being doing this for the last 3 years. She really knows what shes talking about. And she didn't try to rip me off, she brought me around to furniture shops where I could see prices for myself. And my apartment looks great!! If you want to mail her, address is raemie_interiors@yahoo.com

Good to hear someone haad a good experience with her ! Petra Mralon is great. very organised inventories and receipts translated great minimalist style if thats what you like Personally I go to Lesnina direct and choose their if its for rental. You can also check out the website.They measure and do cad drawings for free, deliver and also assemble. If its for personal use you can get a list of qualifed interior designers from the Croatian embassy in your country

Not good but Iwill not use this forum to explain why?As you can see their are those that are happy Best to make your own decision I would suggest you interview a few designers and make your comparisons and decisions based on this.

As director of Raemie Interiors, I would like to respond to the last comment posted on this board. I am not aware who Nikh is, and don't every recall doing any business or having any dealings with someone of that name. I will however, send a mail to Nikh to see who he/she is since their response has been negative. For any member or visitor to this site who has bought a property in Croatia and is looking for professional advise (I am a qualified Interior Designer), please feel free to contact me directly at raemie_interiors@yahoo.com or visit my website www.raemie-interiors.com and see some of my finished work. |
