Using Koubou services was the best decision I made. Colour scheme and choice of materials were perfect. The quality was exceptional. I really enjoyed working with the team, who were very easy to work with. The communication was great. Although not a big project, team were very responsive. Koubou helped me to work within my budget. I’m so pleased with the end result. Thank you!

The plans were excellent and changes made in timely fashion where necessary; work went brilliantly; staff and workmen a joy to interact with. The finished job is a pleasure every day. And still looking as good as the day it was all finished 4 years ago! I would thoroughly recommend Koubou Interiors - and will have them again when the time comes for another room or two in my abode needs sorting!
