Reading’s property market is as diverse as its community. We’ve furnished multiple homes in the area, with a strong ongoing pipeline, including work at Bankside Gardens by St Edward. One standout success story is a two-bedroom unit designed for a university student in Reading. The client wanted to transform the two-bedroom apartment into a comfortable, contemporary space ready for move-in by September for her son. Despite last-minute adjustments to curtain colours, our experts delivered the completed unit by August end using the Gold and Diamond Furniture Packages.
