Martina has been an incredible help in the overhauling the exterior of my place. Originally I had just engaged Martina for house colours but I very quickly extended that to the tessellated tiles, fence and roof. Martina had a very pragmatic and thorough approach to her work and getting the right colour palate. Her calm manner (as well as super organisational skills) gave me reassurance during the process. She went to the tile shop with me to chose the right tiles. She provided lots of food for thought on all the changes I was doing, making sure I had thought of all options. And her final colour selection was fantastic. I am really happy with the outcome. I will be engaging Martina again, when I redo the interiors in a couple of years.

Currently renovating my bathroom and laundry in Surry Hills and Martina helped me with the design, selection of tiles and the bathroom ware. The design consultation really helped clarify my needs and made for optimal use of the spaces. Martina’s suggestions, tips and expertise were invaluable. Martina’s knowledge of colour, finish types, and practical application of bathroom fixtures complemented the design layout. Highly recommended.

We renovated our 60-year-old house in Willoughby from top to bottom including the relocation of the existing bathroom and kitchen. Martina developed the new floorplan, got the building permit from a private certifier and recommended all fixtures and finishes...she linked in with all parties concerned: engineers etc...she recommended an excellent builder...everything went smoothly due to her professionalism...the house is looking very homely and quaint indeed...we would recommend her any time.

Martina’s colour consultancy service made the job of choosing colours for our townhouses repaint simple and enjoyable. She also gave us ideas about using colours to bring out and define architectural features that we would never have thought of ourselves. As soon as we have the repaint job done, we will be sure to post photos. Highly recommend Martina‘s lovely friendly and professional service.

We engaged Martina recently for help with an exterior colour scheme for our home. Our house is an older style and we had recently put in a new, modern kitchen. Martina was able to suggest a colour scheme which would make the house facade more contemporary to tie in with the new kitchen and give a consistent and stylish flow to the entire home. Martina is a talented designer and a warm and delightful person and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Martina helped us design an exterior colour scheme and layout for our swimming pool, deck and storage room including an outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Her ideas were very valuable in creating what is now a beautiful outdoor living space and certainly ensured we have a bit more “wow factor”. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Martina for your next interior or exterior design job and will certainly use her again in the future.

Martina is lovely to work with. She took into consideration our preferences, ideas and budget and worked very hard to help us achieve the look for our lounge, dining, kitchen area. She created a beautiful kitchen splash back that is a truly original piece. Martina will always put the client first and she kept coming up with ideas and suggestions when we were not sure about certain designs and accessories.

Martina assisted us in choosing colours for our home in an exceptional manner. She was professional in her presentation and extremely knowledgeable about different colour combinations. I really liked her patience in taking time to understand our vision and incorporate the same in her suggestions but at the same time giving invaluable input in contemporary colour schemes. I do not hesitate in recommending her for any projects.

I recently purchased a 1920's house and i engaged Martina to support me with an external colors scheme to go with. She was extremely helpful explaining what works well and tips etc. She offered me advice also regarding renovation planning which was helpful advice, would recommend her services.

I called Martina when I found it unexpectedly difficult to settle on a final choice for the exterior color of my house. Can't tell you how glad I am I made that call. I've always thought I had at least a bit of an eye for things like that and have always relied on my own taste and choices. Turns out, I don't know much about colors at all. Thanks to Martina's help we now have a really great two-tone color scheme instead of the bland one-color option we would have ended up with by ourselves. Definitely worth getting this right before committing to a large expense like painting the entire facade and Martina knew exactly what the place needed and what would and would not work.

Martina did an outstanding job planning, budgeting and project managing the make-over of our outdoor laundry. We discussed our individual needs, which included storage of two wet-suits and several garden tools. Martina developed an affordable design that accommodated our requirements and worked with the space available. The result is stunning: the space is used in an optimal way, everything can be tidily tucked away with no effort. We enjoy the sleek look and design. Due to Martina’s careful planning and thorough following-up the washing machine was reconnected on Fridays, so I could do my weekly laundry while the work was going on.
