Angela Steyn & Co Design

When we moved into our house, we knew it had so much potential, we just didn't know exactly what the vision should be or how to go about achieving it. Angela's design vision was just beautiful, and we instantly knew it was right for us. She really created a style that suited us and the house. We also valued that she was really practical and kept our budget in mind throughout the project. We just love being in the rooms she's decorated. It's become a warm, inviting, peaceful environment to be in. Thanks Angela! We can't wait to complete all the renovation work now.

After doing an amazing full front office renovation for us a number of years ago at our northern beaches real estate agency we employed Angela to assist us in revamping and restyling our home we had built just over five years ago. Although the house was new we had moved in with the intention of doing some more aesthetic work to it which did not eventuate. Angela’s creative flair and eye for detail came to the rescue. We finally ended up with the stylish beach house we had dreamed of . From a beautiful wall unit to stylish soft furnishings the detail was exactly as we had wanted with many extra little touches as well. The quality of Angela’s work, the professionalism of the trades people she uses and her friendly personable approach make her a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was a trouble and her calm no fuss demeanour made working with her a pleasure. If you are looking to restyle, revamp or refresh your home or workplace we could only highly recommend Angela. She is talented,professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

It has been a real pleasure working with Angela to style our home this year. We bought a quirky, dated home with lovely bones and gave Angela the transformation challenge. She has expertly guided us to select lighting, furniture, furnishings and art to bring our home to life and flexibly work with the pieces we wanted to keep. Angela is very flexible and commercially pragmatic, and has extremely high quality standards. She has a fabulous eye and clear vision, and also has the rare gifts of being so warm, fun and easy to work with that the process was really enjoyable and not stressful or intimidating. Everything installed was perfect, we are ecstatically happy just ‘being’ in our home and I can’t recommend her more highly. We look forward to re-engaging on Phase 2 of our renovation next year (if she isn’t completely booked out by then!)

Angela and Andre have been very professional and supportive and have made our process of renovation feel effortless. From the planning stage through to the delivery of the concept / renovation their attention to detail and sophisticated style has really impressed us. Angela and Andre truly are a winning combination and we can only highly recommend them to anyone seeking property design or style advice.

Right from the beginning I felt confident when on the first day I described to Angela what I had in mind. She took everything on board and came up with a result that was much more than I could have imagined .Angela is very professional, punctual and a really delightful person to work with. She customises to the individual and somehow knows what the client is looking for, She is excellent in putting the whole story together and making a beautiful home. Thank you Angela for your hard work. I feel I was very fortunate to find you.

Angela is truely talented. She takes the time to listen to your needs and absorb the current feel of your home. She then creates a solution which is modern, trendy but absolutely customised to the individual. Each room outline is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. She has transformed our home! Initially we engaged her to make our home 'sale ready'. We now feel like we are living in a new house and may not move at all. She is very responsive and very patient. I would highly recommend her services.

I hired Angela to help me with a 1 room make-over and a general update of the house. I enjoy doing this kind of thing myself but without professional training I don't have the skills to really pull it together well. Angela was great to work with, giving fabulous advice that reflected style and budget. She has a lovely knack of being able to steer me away from some of my original ideas with sensitivity and grace. She was a pleasure to work with, being friendly, polite, reliable, professional and generous with suggestions & recommendations. On top of all that, the outcome was fabulous. The whole family is very happy with the result.

My husband and I engaged Angela to provide some advice on our bathroom, laundry and kitchen renovations to our two bedroom apartment in Manly. We both adore Angela. She is highly professional and full of great practical and aesthetically beautiful solutions. She is totally reliable and was up front about costs from the beginning. My husband and I also found that we were both suffering from renovation decision fatigue, so we loved being able to delegate decisions to Angela to free up our own time. Angela managed to make us feel inspired and excited at a time when we were both exhausted and frustrated by our renovations. Angela helped us to redesign our laundry in a way we could not have even imagined. This involved building out the laundry wall to make the laundry space bigger and installing sliding white plantation shutters for ventilation and design. Angela worked with us to find bathroom tiles and fittings that my husband and I were both happy with, which was no easy feat considering that we had quite different visions and priorities. She helped us to strategically place a large wall mirror to maximize the views from our apartment. She helped us to choose a calming coastal paint palette. She also helped us to select beautiful bedroom, living room and balcony furniture. Angela recommended a builder and project manager who we went on to engage and have also been very happy with. We've taken up all of Angela's suggestions and have been delighted with the results. We have also engaged Angela to help us select some fabrics to reupholster some antique furniture (with sentimental value) next year. We are really excited to see what she chooses. We trust her impeccable taste completely. I have recommended Angela to friends and colleagues without hesitation. My parents are also planning to use Angela and the same builder and project manager for some kitchen and laundry renovations to their apartment next year.

Our 1950s ground floor unit in Queenscliff boasted a lot of original dark wooden features, an original bathroom and generally felt a little tired. Angela was recommended by a close friend and she proposed a change of colour scheme to the walls, from the existing stark white to a quarter-duck white, while also painting out the heavy wooden finish on the original window frames, picture rails and skirts to an brilliant white, offering a subtle contrast to the walls. Angela also recommended a number of beautiful furniture, rugs and lighting features throughout to compliment our major furniture items. Its hard to choose a favourite, but the marble top coffee table, with matt black finished legs, and the bone inlay side table make a real impact. The slatted birch pendant in the lounge throws an amazing pattern through the room. Probably the biggest impact was painting the original brick fireplace in a slightly darker duck egg shade, replacing the large engineered hearth tiles with natural black marble herringbone tiles, which compliment our herringbone pattern rug beautifully. The overall scheme paint, furniture and light scheme met our brief superbly; transforming the flat into a modern, stylish and much brighter space. We would be more than happy to recommend Angela's styling to anyone looking to upgrade their interiors space.

Angela has the natural ability to deliver the ‘WOW‘ factor which she certainly did to our home. Angela closely monitors current and future interior design trends, but most importantly brought her originality and uniqueness and applied it to our home. Angela is highly skilled in recognising our own tastes and completed a wonderful look and feel within our tight budget that brought our home alive. Angela was engaged and was quick to identify opportunities to better use the space we had. Angela managed to turn our bland living spaces into a home that looks stylish, unique, finished and attracts lots of favourable compliments. Angela is a delight to work with and Angela's knowledge of the business coupled with her reach to suppliers and products resulted in turning our home into a place we love to come home to, entertain in and kick back in. We look forward to working with Angela again!. That is a given!.

I have worked with Angela Steyn from Angela Steyn & Co Interior Design on numerous projects over the last few years. She is highly creative and creates beautiful rooms and homes. With a sharp eye for colour, design and detail, she makes our paint work look fantastic! It is always a pleasure working with Angela; on her projects and with her clients. She is very organised, respectful, professional and a good communicator and surrounds herself with the best tradespeople. I have no hesitation in recommending Angela Steyn to anyone.

Angela understood implicitly the requirements for this project and produced outstanding solutions for this small house. She listened to my brief, and offered ideas for the most aesthetic and, more importantly, comfortable options. I love walking into my house and every single time being made happy by how beautiful the space looks. This is what interior design is about.
