Brilliant Design Concepts

Cherel and the team transformed a boxy, cold, impractical kitchen into a beautifully warm, inviting (and functional!) space to gather with friends or just enjoy alone. Her design of the bathrooms and walk-in wardrobe are testament to her ability to retain the best elements (saving money) while introducing luxurious finishes and lighting to completely transform their feel and function. So pleased to be able to sit back knowing the job was in capable hands.

Cherel did a fantastic job redesigning our study. Delight to deal with and very efficient. Great communicator and we are very pleased with the results. Would highly recommend Brilliant Design Concepts

This is the second time we have used Cherel’s services and as with our prior project, Cherel did an amazingly professional job.

We would have no hesitation in using Cherel’s services again, nor in recommending her to anyone. Thank you for taking the stress out of our renovations, Cherel.

Cherel did a fantastic job designing and managing a complete overhaul of our bathroom area. From our first meeting she immediately got the look we wanted and handled all the day-to-day aspects of the build in a professional manner. I would have no hesitation using her again for another job.

I engaged Cherel after I purchased a 1980's apartment in Mosman. It was poorly designed and in need of total renovation including wall removal, new kitchen and bathroom as well rewiring and plumbling. Cherel produced detailed drawings for every aspect of this renovation as well as giving invaluable advice on choices of flooring, tiles, bath ware and colour co-ordination. She has designed a beautiful, quality kitchen and bathroom along with clever storage ideas. All of this was done within budget. Cherel also designed my courtyard garden and liaised with the landscaper to produce an amazing space for entertaining and relaxing. Cherel project managed the renovation, co-ordinated trades and schedules and always kept me up to date as it progressed. Her professionalism as well as that of her team of builders and trades made the renovation hassle free and I have no hesitation in recommending Cherel to anyone. Thank you Cherel - I'm delighted with the renovation, it's a joy to come to in the evening and the outcome has far exceeded my expectations.

Rose and I contacted Cherel on the recommendation of a mutual friend. We were going to move into a new apartment but had only the vaguest idea of what we wanted. Moreover, we had not worked with a design professional before and were quite apprehensive. Cherel turned out to be terrific. She listened, came up with great ideas, was open to contrary approaches, did a lot of legwork, and introduced us to some fabulous stores. She was always contactable and met every deadline. And all within budget. Amazing! The result: a beautiful, elegant and serene apartment which has made our life so much more enjoyable. Thank you, Cherel, for a lovely experience and a captivating outcome.

Cherel has worked with us to renovate numerous properties. Most recently, she project managed and designed all elements of an apartment renovation.

We can hand over the job to Cherel with complete faith that all our expectations will be met. It's an absolute pleasure to renovate using Cherel's services.

Cherel did a great job managing the renovation of our apartment, working hard with her building team to complete the project on time. Nothing was too much trouble for Cherel. She kept us updated regularly and was prompt in responding to our queries and requests. Cherel also came up with some great ideas to maximise space in a small apartment, including a clever way to enlarge the shower. We are very happy with the service provided and the results. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Cherel for any building design services.

When we decided to renovate an office building with a unit on top and employed Cherel to work with us. She was involved from the beginning and throughout of the project. Her work included a 2 fully renovated bedroom units (with kitchen, laundry and new flooring throughout) as well as choosing all the colours in the residential space and public areas. Half way through the process we had trouble with the builder. Cherel took over and took it upon herself to make sure the job was done and, that the work continued on despite the disruption. She is very obliging and able. We had a very good experience with her and she was very easy to get along with. So much so, we invited her to help us with our own private dwelling.

Cherel is absolutely Amazing designer with great eye and attention to detail! As soon as you meet her you can feel her excitement and passion for what she does which is very comforting because you know you found someone who will understand and support you through whatever project you set out to do.

We had been living in our house for 20 years when we decided to upgrade the kitchen and laundry. I am a keen cook and so is my daughter. The brief was to create a space that 2 people could work in together, while being sympathetic with the age of the house. Cherel delivered this and we now have a beautiful and functional kitchen. Cherel was able to design us a space that met the brief. Cherel's knowledge of superior appliances and connections with excellent cabinet makers was invaluable. Cherel certainly puts the customer at the centre of the design to achieve a fabulous outcome!

I was living in a very dim lighted apartment without any natural light as well and it was starting to take effect on how I felt. I went to Cherel to transform the apartment into inside sunshine and that's exactly what she did. The apartment lighting is amazing, literally like sunshine inside the place (warm and cozy). I feel so much happier now and wish I'd enlisted Brilliant Design Concepts ages ago.

I was introduced to Cherel through a very good friend of mine who used her services extensively through her own house renovation. Knowing the high standards Cherel works to, I was more than happy to engage her services to design a magnificent outdoor area beside our pool. The trades engaged have worked to the highest standards and have excelled in their creativity and design. Communication is one of Cherel's strong points and her ability to draw various complimentary trades together to finish a project is excellent. I would be more than happy to use Cherel's services again.

Cheryl was a terrific help with a last minute request on colours for painting our house. Within three days Cheryl met for the brief, came back to bounce off ideas and then arrived with the final colours and details for the painters. We love the colours and it was Incredible service - thanks Cheryl!

Brilliant Design Concepts designed our kitchen, joinery throughout the house, bathroom, ensuite and powder room. Cherel also did the lighting and electrical design and paint scheme. Cherel was extremely professional, prompt and reliable. She clearly set out the costs associated with her work before commencing and engaged quality contractors to complete the work. I would definitely recommend Brilliant Design Concepts.

It has been delightful to work with Cheryl in the construction of 2 substantial wall units. Each unit had a different purpose and it has been a tribute to Cheryl's design initiatives that our requirements have been totally fulfilled. Cheryl's attention to detail and her involvement in the organisation and installation of the units resulted in the completion of the project on time and on budget. The outcome is aesthetically pleasing and totally functional.....and we are delighted ! Thank you Cheryl. It has been a pleasure working with you. Carolyn & Geoff Yates

I have had the pleasure of knowing Cherel for at least 10 years, and have asked her to assist me with the design and detailing of an extensive renovation and additional bespoke pieces. Cherel is an exceptionally hard worker, always pleasant, reliable and punctual, and is driven by the importance of collaboration with the client to deliver a quality product that exceeds expectations. Cherel has numerous trade contacts, but is prepared to update and broaden her own portfolio to find the specific person who can do the job. Cherel draws on her own extensive experience whilst always looking to the next innovation to improve her own knowledge and the options available for the client. It is always a delight to work with Cherel. I know the job will be finished to the highest quality without compromise. Dr Michelle Clark

Cherel has been an absolute pleasure to work with on the design of our new 4 bedroom house that we are building from scratch. From design layout to detailed floor plans, colour palette and finishes she has remained focused and diligent throughout the entire process. There is no way we could have done this without her professional eye and attention to detail. Brilliant Colour Concepts is without doubt a company I would highly recommend.

Cherel was an absolute delight to work with. Her creative sense of style was just what we needed when we decided to renovate our Crows Nest home a couple of years ago and subsequently our Fairlight apartment. She blended comfort and style to create showcase pieces reflecting the surrounding vibe of our locations. She suggested ideas, layouts and colours that we never would have considered and seeing that vision bought into reality happened without incident and was completely stress free. I would highly recommend Cherel to anyone looking to employ a designer who really listens to her clients needs and delivers in every way. Georgina
