Amanda Smythe Design

Amanda helped us with a multitude of rooms when we renovated our house in 2 stages. After our initial meeting she completely understood what styles we liked and what would work in each space. Her mood boards were spot on and the pieces she sourced didn’t have too long lead times even though most companies were experiencing horrendous delays because of the pandemic. We still get so many compliments on the interior of our house when people come over and that’s down to Amanda. I can’t recommend her enough!

Amanda did a sensational job on our home, she really understands how to achieve her clients visual expectations whilst cleverly considers lifestyle factors. She was strategic with our budget , providing sound advise on what to invest in and what to pull back on. Amanda is highly organised, has an eye for detail and her product knowledge and supplier relationships is strong. I enjoyed working with Amanda and would highly recommend her design services.

Amanda was the best thing that happened to us and I tell everyone I meet about how fabulous she is. She’s the only person in our interior design project who has over delivered and come in on budget. She was very sensitive to our price point and receptive at taking our ideas and preferences and incorporating that into the final design. She has strong opinions about what matters and where I needed guidance but has a very diplomatic and friendly way of communicating. She’s an absolute professional and makes what can be a daunting process very streamlined and enjoyable.

From the outset, Amanda understood exactly the look I was trying to achieve in re-modelling my home in a modern Hamptons style and worked within my budget to achieve my goals. The results have exceeded my expectations and my family and I are absolutely delighted with how our home has turned out. I would highly recommend Amanda.

Amanda’s expertise and experience coupled with her industry contacts, make her a leader in great decorating and design. We were amazed and inspired with the concepts Amanda came up with throughout our house. She challenged us when she had an idea, and would work through it, until we all found a solution. She managed to take what we liked, what we already had, and what we wanted, and develop it into our dream spaces. Amanda was very accommodating with changes made throughout the process, very prompt in her response time, and happy to help every step of the way taking any pressure away from us. I have no hesitation in recommending Amanda Smythe Design, and thank her for exceeding our expectations.

Amanda was amazing to work with on styling our family home. She totally nailed the brief for a stylish but family friendly home (with a touch of boho). Amanda really took the time to understand our brief and went above and beyond. We get so many compliments on our home. We couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Amanda!

I have worked with Amanda on a few projects during the last couple of years and she is an absolute delight to work with! She beautifully tailors her styling to the client's specific tastes and requirements and the finished result always looks impeccable!

We contacted Amanda after we bought our unit in the Upper North Shore. It was all dressed for the sale but a blank canvass when we moved in. Amanda gave us great design ideas for layout , furniture, blinds, floor coverings and built ins. She was very easy to deal with, had great suggestions, worked to our budget, happy to discuss alternative ideas, helped us choose items and suggested alternatives in different price ranges. All things we would have struggled with. She also helped with the ordering of some of the furniture and with the follow up of the deliveries. She was very professional and accomodating. Happy to recommend her services.

We initially hired Amanda to design our formal lounge only. After our positive experience with Amanda, we decided to hire her to further design our casual lounge, home office and spare bedroom as well! Amanda understands the brief immediately, and is extremely efficient in the delivery of her services. She is diverse in her style, and doesn’t abide by one formula. We highly recommend Amanda!

I have worked with Amanda on multiple projects, and she is consistently professional, efficient and works hard to ensure a seamless experience. Her styling and creativity are second to none and her clients are always thrilled with both the process and the end result. She has integrity and high standards with everyone from customers to staff. I highly recommend Amanda.

I have worked with Amanda a number of times now and have been delighted with the results. Amanda is very professional she wanted to know what I wanted and then created that for me. I have worked with designers that only know one way to go about there work where Amanda understands her clients and tailors an approach that will work for them. Cant recommend highly enough!!

Amanda was absolutely phenomenal to work with! She went above and beyond what was expected. She is extremely understanding of her clients and she creates the vision we are all dreaming of but have no idea how to make happen. I do not hesitate recommending Amanda to anyone! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

We had delightful Amanda come and style our unit for us. Everyone who visits comments on how terrific it looks. Her input makes the unit appear bigger and brighter and makes it a pleasure to come home. Amanda was professional and listened to our requirements. She had some wonderful suggestions about furniture placement which has really enhanced the living area. I highly recommend her, she has brilliant talent in both furniture selection, fabrics and colours. Thank you Amanda

Amanda was referred to me by another trusted small business professional and she proved to be everything I was promised plus more. Amanda made sure she understood my 4 girls and my husband's personality and ensured her recommendations were in line with my goal of tasteful design that would survive the busy family. Amanda was very flexible and understanding and came under my budget with her concepts and recommendations which made both me and my husband very happy! I can not recommend her highly enough.

I engaged Amanda to decorate my new apartment. She was fantastic to work with and really understood what I was trying to achieve for my home. She provided a quick turnaround, took care of everything for me and I couldn't be happier with the result! Guests always comment on how my apartment looks like a magazine. Highly recommend.

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful styling you’ve done for me. The furniture, artwork, colours, textures, everything is of only the best quality and such unique design. You make spaces come alive, and not only that you are so pleasant and easy to deal with. Thank you again, you’re the best!”

I recently had Amanda help me with the interior of my living/dining/hallway and art work. She was so helpful and totally understood the look I was hoping to achieve. She offered practical sensible advice and direction and was only too helpful with suggestions and advice. Amanda was also mindful of my budget and was happy to stay within it and still make great selections without spending a fortune. Amanda was always prompt with her emails and was immediately on to the suppliers when anything was delayed. I felt like I was an important client and Amanda always had time for me and my queries. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable, honest expert to make their home design dreams become a reality with Amanda’s expert advice and commitment to her projects.

I recently worked with Amanda on the styling of my new tanning studio. Amanda completely understood the feel I was trying to create and went above and beyond. She totally delivered and added a bit of extra 'zhoozh' - I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my new space. Highly recommend!
