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.

I engaged Anoushka to support me with interior design advice for my large renovation (ground floor renovation + second storey addition). I had a strong idea about what I wanted, but I needed help making the big decisions - layout, flooring, interior and exterior paint colours, kitchen joinery, bathroom tiles etc. With some previous experience with home design, I was keen to find someone who could support me in bringing my vision to life, help confirm some of the thinking I had already put into our home design, and point me in a new direction when my ideas were flawed. I needed a voice of reason and reassurance! Anoushka brought a really lovely, calm, practical approach to my project. From the beginning, she was flexible in tailoring a service to my specific needs and was willing to work with me in a way that suited me personally. Anoushka provided subtle guidance when I just need reassurance. But she also provided valuable advice based on her many years of experience, and direction when I had no idea at all. She listened to my ideas and helped me improve them and incorporate them in the best possible way. She helped me visualise my project as a whole. She brought fresh thinking that I hadnt considered. Anoushka was organised and thorough and her response time and communication was excellent. In my opinion, Anoushka went above and beyond the scope of work to ensure the most amazing result for my renovation project. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone requiring an interior design service.

Anoushka was professional, creative and collaborative. She worked with us in developing ideas for our home makeover, providing us with samples and images which were carefully aligned to our taste and the brief. Her contacts were all of high quality and reliability and made the process run smoothly, with minimal inconvenience. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Anoushka

The beach house we purchased on the Central Coast has a large central pavilion space with high ceilings and we wanted to make the most of the existing design by choosing furniture that would be stylish, comfortable, somewhat industrial, have a pop of colour and be minimalist. We knew our taste but we really needed someone to help us choose pieces of the right scale and design to make it all work. Anoushka is extremely creative and innovative as well as being professional and organised. She is very pleasant and friendly to work with. We are extremely happy with the process she guided us through and we have an end product we are enjoying living with.

This is the third time Anoushka has worked with us on our homes (and also with an investment property). This latest project was our home in a warehouse style townhouse. Our first home was a small inner Sydney terrace. Anoushka has a great sense of style and I am amazed at how flexible she is in adapting from style to style. She brought out the best in our properties and still allowed the end result to feel very much like us. She is a delight to work with and is very responsive and accommodating. She sets realistic expectations and sticks to an agreed budget. Anoushka is a great problem solver and is very efficient. I highly recommend her for any home design and project management associated with related construction .

Anoushka was absolutely brilliant providing us with both interior design and decoration services. We would have made some key design mistakes and likely would not have been satisfied with the end result were it not for her guidance and advice. Anoushka respected our individual style but also added her own professional touch to ensure that we didn’t go wrong. Anoushka was super detailed and took away so much of the stress in the design process. She was always available to run ideas by and offered creative alternatives which we never would have thought of. Now we’ve got a brand new house that we’re absolutely thrilled with. I’d definitely recommend Anoushka!

Working with Anoushka has been a great experience. During the design phase, she was professional and patient, guiding us to consider interesting directions for our home renovation. We also engaged her to help with the design management and liaise with all the tradespeople. Her eye and experience meant that she picked up on details we would have missed. The end result is a home that we love--that even the tradies who worked on it loved!

I engaged Anoushka from SmartSpace Interiors after a recommendation from a friend, to help “refresh” the house we had just bought. Living overseas meant we needed someone trusted and reliable to coordinate works in the house and we couldn’t have been happier with the service provided by Anoushka and the final result. Anoushka helped us to select paint, carpet, floorboards, wardrobes and other cabinetry, blinds and curtains, being respectful of our budget and providing us a range of options to choose from. She then project managed each stage, making sure the work was completed to the highest standard with great attention to detail. She went above and beyond often making suggestions for improvements for things we wouldn’t have considered. Anoushka is professional and communicative, and provided us a detailed plan and regularly updated schedule of work to be completed. She regularly sent updates through email, messages and photos keeping us abreast of progress. I look forward to working with Anoushka in future when we undertake more extensive renovations.

Anoushka was fabulous at just "getting" my personal taste and style. She has helped enormously on my renovation journey (which was not all smooth sailing). Excellent at finding solutions and remaining calm.

Dealing with Anoushka was truly a pleasure. She is very approachable and helpful, and always available to address questions or concerns. The design process was very thorough and her recommendations have really improved the look and feel of our unit. All the tradespeople she recommended were very reliable and did a wonderful job too. We’re very happy!

My husband has relocated alone to Sydney on work. Being away from home, we very much wanted to have a place which could make him feel home after a long day at work. We needed someone who can help us doing our rented unit as per our taste in a foreign country. Anoushka has managed our project so amazingly well. She was in constant touch with us to understand our taste and managed her work across different time zones.Anoushka helped us with the furniture, rugs, bedroom sets etc. She handled the deliveries and installations in our absence. We found Anoushka very friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend her to anyone. Gayatri
