Anoushka Allum Design

Anoushka is amazing! We have used her twice now - about 12 years ago and again in Aug/Sep 2024. She has great taste and style, an incredible work ethic, fantastic planning skils and manages to bring us along for the ride with the right amount of support and ownership while making everything run smooth as silk during the build process. She finds wonderful solutions and ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves, producing a far superior solution and makes the cost easily worth it. She is also a lovely person. We are so excited with our new kitchen & bathroom! Cannot recommend Anoushka highly enough - you won’t be disappointed.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Anoushka. She steered us through our renovation with great expertise and support. She understood the feel and style we were looking for and presented great ideas and solutions to achieve this. She patiently helped us make decisions, un-make decisions, make some new ones and then double-check with her again!! She allayed our fears and lack of confidence and helped us create a beautiful family home. She has buckets of humour and kindness and we will miss pestering her with questions....at some point in the near future! Would highly recommend to anyone.

From the beginning to the end of my renovations Anoushka was excellent. She was warm, friendly and professional on all levels. Anoushka's expertise and experience meant that she quickly understood my style and what I wanted and I am very happy with the outcome. Anoushka was always on top of everything and quickly responded to any enquiries. The way she lined up every aspect of the renovation so that the project ran smoothly and efficiently was outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending her to you for your project.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Anoushka. She helped me design a new kitchen and ensuite. I feel that she really listened to me and understood my style, objectives and aesthetics. She was exceptionally detailed and organised and help keep both me and all our trades on schedule. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Anoushka was amazing through the process of our renovation, which faced a number of challenges including COVID impacts and a multitude of issues with the builder. The time and attention she spent on all the specifications was invaluable when the time came to lock in details with the builder and this took away an enormous amount of stress. Plus, Anoushka took the time to understand our needs, what we liked and was always happy to help us with decisions. She was very open and clever to incorporate a few key existing pieces into the new designs. Her extensive network of suppliers and trades were professional, reliable and they delivered quality products and outcomes. Thank you Anoushka for helping us get such an amazing result. We love the look and feel of our new home and are so grateful as we couldn't have done it without you! We wish we'd engaged you sooner!

We would highly recommend Anoushka to anyone looking to renovate their home. Her expertise, design and organizational skills and attention to detail are second to none. She truly listened to what we wanted and created the most beautiful home that exceeded all of our expectations! In addition to all of this, Anoushka is a really lovely person, so professional and wonderful to work with.

We worked with Anoushka Allum Design this year on the design for our new kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. From the very start, I was impressed with Anoushka's comprehensive and structured approach. She was great in helping us to understand our style and preferences and how to articulate what we wanted our home to look and feel like. As busy professionals, we really valued Anoushka's organisation and efficiency, and the time savings we achieved with her shortlisting materials and design ideas for us to make the final decisions on. Anoushka was conscious of our budget and helped us understand where we could save and where it was worth investing a little extra. After the designs were completed, we engaged Anoushka to project manage the build and again her expertise was invaluable. She saved us a lot of time managing the back and forth with our builder, site meetings and progress checks. She kept us in the loop with important updates and decisions, while managing the day to day on our behalf. We are thrilled with the result and are loving living in our new spaces. We look forward to working with Anoushka again down the track when we are ready to update the exterior of our house.

Anoushka ran the process in a methodical and thoughtful way. She was very organised, utilising various apps to coordinate the design decisions with the architect, builder and ourselves. She also managed to meld my wife's and my tastes on the renovation - no easy task. Most of the design work was managed remotely, while we lived overseas, making colour and material choices more difficult, but this was overcome to the extent possible. Overall, we are very happy with the result, in spite of delays and the usual building / weather hiccups along the way.

We found Anoushka through Houzz and her involvement in our project meant that it was extremely painless... we bough AND renovated through the peak of Covid and both lockdowns and could not have achieved this result without her!!!!!!! She has exquisite taste in fabric, furnishings and materials and a real eye for detail. We loved that she was able to take my ideas and my husband's and the kids' and combine all our wants and needs in to a home we will live in and love for many many years to come. Now that the design and reno phase is over, we continue to use Anoushka Allum Design to help with our interior spaces as well. We have no hesitation in recommending Anoushka, no matter what size your project may be. Highly highly recommended. We give her a whopping 10 stars! Dee & Karthik Reddy

Anoushka assisted us with the interior decorating of our new build in 2021-2022. We certainly struck gold when we found Anoushka. She is warm and friendly, highly organised and efficient and responds quickly to any questions. Anoushka was well prepared for our meetings coming with ideas and samples which were packaged together room by room including a mood board and images to help convey her thoughts. She has many contacts throughout the furnishing and decorating industry which enabled her to source quality products at a trade price. Furthermore, her consulting fees are affordable and were offset by the amount we saved in purchasing products at trade price so we actually saved money overall. I highly recommend using Anoushka Allum Design.

I highly recommend using Anoushka for your needs. Anoushka not only facilitated design, around a tricky floor plan, but worked hand in hand with the builders. The end result was exactly what we needed. The finishing design touches were far in advance of what we would have thought of ourselves, whilst providing exceptional value. Thanks Anoushka!

We were extremely happy and impressed with Anoushka’s amazing creative ideas and designs. Anoushka’s friendly and approachable personality made the experience enjoyable, the project was effortless and ran smoothly. What is also great is Anoushka is more than happy to work within all budgets.
