“kathy mackinnon had fabulous ideas to lift the interior of my new home. cant wait to have her team carry out the work needed. consultation and drawings wonderful. it will make such a difference to my new home.”

“Donna is, beyond words, the most incredibly talented and downright gifted interior designer around. We purchased a dark, dingy, sad and neglected beach house that we knew had potential. When it came to starting our renovation, we initially thought using an interior designer was extravagant and thought we could do it all ourselves. Easy peasy, right? After some thought though, we decided we didn't want to risk making similar mistakes we'd made with previous properties, both in terms of cost and a hotch-potch, uncohesive result. So I started googling and came across Donna Guyler Design, and was instantly drawn to Donna's style. The minute we met Donna we knew we'd found the right person to help us achieve what we were after. Straight away we felt at ease, and all our reservations were gone. Little did we know at that point that Donna would completely blow our expectations right out of the water! Donna gets it. She got us, she listened (I mean really listened), and she showed us, time and time again, that she has the uncanny ability to interpret her clients' needs and desires when the clients aren't even sure themselves! (Cue us). Donna will take all your ideas and desires on board and interpret them in such a way that not only delivers everything you want but so, so much more. The result is Perfection. Cohesion. Beauty. Originality. Functionality. Personality. The result is a home that you adore every inch of. Or a particular room re-imagined beyond anything you'd thought of. A home that's everything you ever dreamed of, plus a whole lot more that you didn't even know you would love, or want. A home that's your sanctuary, that you love coming home to and you love being in. Every day. We've achieved that, and we could never in our wildest dreams have done any of it without Donna. Is it expensive or over-indulgent to use an interior designer? I'm raising this point because initially we thought it probably was over-indulgent, and thought (wrongly) that it would be expensive.But I'm here to tell you, it's absolutely not!!! The value Donna and her amazing team have given us is honestly beyond measure, both in terms of the finished result (sans costly mistakes) and the value Donna has added to our property. Donna is acutely mindful of your budget and will work within that, so there's no sudden surprises. Now that our renovation is complete we can honestly say we miss the process. Ok, maybe not the inevitable dust and disruption that comes with any major reno but we miss Donna's infectious, fun personality, her incredible ideas, her honesty, her integrity and thoroughness, her ability to co-ordinate every little detail including trades, and the way Donna takes the stress and pressure completely out of the process. I seriously think we need to find another project to keep Donna in our lives! Donna is without a doubt a consummate professional with extraordinary talent. On top of this she is also an absolutely beautiful person. If you're considering seeking the help of an interior designer, no matter where you live, Donna Guyler Design will deliver so much more than you could ever dream of, in terms of both results and value for money. I encourage you to put your belief and trust in Donna, you won't be disappointed. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts Donna. Lorraine and Michael x”

“I first met with Sandra mid-2015 with a view to refurbishing our home which was built in 1998. I found her very easy to get along with and she took note of my likes and dislikes. The main bathroom was completely renovated in October 2015 and in April 2016 a new kitchen was installed, both beautifully designed by Sandra. Following this Sandra had some great ideas to modernise other rooms in the house, including lounge, dining, sitting room and main bedroom. New flooring, paintwork, furniture and soft furnishings have made the home a much brighter space to live in. Sandra was always very willing to search for the right piece of furniture and/or fabrics to stay within my budget but still create a designer look. I would not have been able to do this renovation without Sandra's expertise and knowledge in design to call on. My husband and I feel that the house has been brought back to life and love how the house now looks and feels. The money spent on renovating has certainly added substantially to the value of our home. Thank you Sandra for all your work. We'll definitely be recommending you to others who are wanting to transform their homes too! Barb Green, McDowall”
