Interior Designers & Decorators Near Me

“I have a house in west end which was originally a single level 3 bedroom workers cottage. The house was built in underneath 5 years ago and the upper level (original house) was left un touched and rented in its original state. For added income I decided to rent out the lower levels and moved into the upper one. I was struggling with ideas on how to get the original house (over one hundred years old) to blend in and work with the newer, more modern lower levels. I appointed Dani Louis, to initially get ideas on colour schemes, light fittings, kitchen and bathroom layouts etc. Dani, was extremely helpful and full of great ideas. The house has kept some of its original features ie VJ walls etc, but now blends in nicely, mixing old world with new. Dani has tremendous buying power and sources great deals on fittings, fixtures etc and passes on her savings for all items as part of her service, which was amazing because the savings added up to be a lot more than the fee she charged. I am a very happy customer and would highly recommend Dani Louis Design to anybody wanting to undertake any form of renovation or design consultation. I am happy to be contacted if you would like to discuss any of the above 0404034213 Marcus Newton.”

“We hired Emme designs to decorate our penthouse and were very pleased with the results.Before proceeding , with her company,Emmy put our minds at ease by preparing a folio, showing us various materials, colour palette and fabric swatches to be used for our project. Emmy was very professional, communicated well, and was easy to talk to,understanding exactly what we liked…eg. we opted for a minimalist modern decor, for furniture ,T.V. cabinet, study nook etc.She had good contacts, and knew exactly where to source everything from, therefore saving us heaps. Emmy was very reliable and always kept her appointments on time. We highly recommend her for her knowledge and experience.”

“We engaged Lisa to provide interior design advice for an investment unit renovation. This included paint colour, carpets, bathroom and kitchen products and layout and light selection. She did a fantastic job of working within the brief which was to provide a "wow" factor on the interiors but stay within our 'investment' budget. What I like about working with Lisa is that she listens and comes up with alternatives, after the consultation was over she followed up and helped resolve any decisions. I would highly recommend Lisa if you want a talented, professional and pragmatic designer that is easy to work with. Freya Elliott”

“Giulianna came to my house to give advice on colours for the interior. I immediately felt confident that she listened to what I would like and she presented a colour scheme that I love. My house has now been painted all the way through, including the kitchen cupboards. Giulianna also offered some great ideas for bedroom wallpaper to fit in with current furnishings. When I sent photos of the completed painting and hung wallpaper, Giulianna has offered further ideas to help style the rooms, going above and beyond the original consultation.”

“Boy am I glad I met Monique from Sartorial Interiors. I had been wanting to refurnish our three bedroom home for about two years and was at a stage of confusion and stress over the ordeal. Monique listened to my ideas and stuck to my taste and budget and made the experience what it should be - fun and exciting. We started with the boys' bedroom where she came up with a James Bond theme, as my boys are fans of the actor Daniel Craig. We then remodeled the master bedroom with stunning results. Monique also sourced key pieces for each three living areas of our home which all tied in and complimented each other. Our home is now clutter free and I enjoy the effort it takes to keep it that way because it feels cozy and looks so much better. Every friend and family member has commented positively on the changes made. Monique is a breath of fresh air; always punctual and positive. I will definitely use Monique's services again and again and recommend her highly to others. Luz Ivanova”

“Kylie's work was absolutely above and beyond expectations. She designed and project managed a full kitchen renovation in my apartment. Kylie's advice and expertise was invaluable to a novice renovater such as myself. The businesses and tradesmen used on my job were absolutely first class. I beleive this is a reflection of Kylies relationships and contacts within the industry. The project came in ahead of time and under budget. The result is stunning and I would have no hesitation in recommending Kylie's work.”

“We first met Jo-Anne in 2001 as a recommendation from the director at the company I worked for. With my new house plans complete and a kitchen designed by a builder/draftsman (it was horrendous). My first conversation with her was about budget. I didn't have his budget, heck, I had next to nothing to work with and she agreed to work with what we had to spend and the space provided in the plans. Jo-Anne managed to increase our overall bench space for prep, our storage and the overall workability of our kitchen. We loved the narrow cupboard next to the fridge to store the mugs/cups/wine glasses - it made the flow so much easier. An additional glass door cabinet was included external of the kitchen which made perfect sense for my inherited crystal & china. It was more than we could imagine and her chosen colour palette in 2001, still looks current and modern today. Move forward to 2008, we downsized after children to a smaller modest house and on a budget, we were going to renovate the kitchen. A call to Jo-Anne and she changed the U shaped design to an L shape with an island bench with storage on 3 sides and additional banquette seating which our family love!!! The kitchen is a dream to entertain in and feed a young family. Such smart advice on layout, appliances and palette again. Now its 2013, we are building again - a townhouse closer to the city. First port of call after the "new" builder designed our plans was Jo-Anne. She has done the unbelievable again. As an added bonus, she has redesigned my laundry as it sits behind the kitchen - storage queen and appliance brains trust are what comes to mind when I think of Jo-Anne. We hope to start the build in the new year, I can't wait to see her plans come to life. What I love about this new design is that we have a narrow townhouse 6.5 metres wide and Jo-Anne has managed to construct a hidden wall of storage in the kitchen including study, an enormous pantry suitable for my war cupboard supply of canned & staple goods... just in case... an appliance cupboard that will hide my husbands coffee/breakfast mess and smart storage throughout the kitchen & laundry - all of this is hidden and our townhouse still looks large and open - I just close the doors and don't have to look at the mess created minutes before. Love it. I would say that I am an easy client, I think she reads people well from your conversations, but I would probably say that I have a high list of what I want, but I don't have a budget to pay for what I want. Jo-Anne has smart ideas that save your budget, but don't cheapen the end product. Spend wisely on what works. All that and she is also a great cook - oh your muffins were amazing - I have never been offered freshly baked muffins by my builder when I go in for a planning discussion... I just wish Jo-Anne designed entire houses... well I have never asked - she may? Thank you for everything to do with my kitchens. Wendy”
