Interior Designers & Decorators in Beaumaris, Victoria

“Peter was amazing with ideas for our living room area, always available to source different pieces of furniture, carpet, lighting, & once the project was finished he has continued to help us with everything else we have needed in the house,ie, new tables, mirrors, "nic nacs " to complement the furniture. He is always willing to drop in & offer advise on placing items in the house, getting odd chairs fixed, etc. He has been extremely accommodating, a pleasure to deal with & we have no hesitation on calling him to help us in the future.”

“We recently moved into a new office and had an idea of how to go about decorating it, but no clue where to start and what to take into consideration. We engaged emmy designs and she immediately came up with colour ideas that complemented our logo (displayed in the reception) and worked on our thoughts and came up with a variety of suggestions for us to select from. Now we have lovely prints on all walls and lovely upholstered chairs that blend in nicely with the unique shape of our reception area and upholstery to match our colour theme. This was all done within a quick timeline and within our budget . What a life saver Emmy is! We are so grateful for her services and could not more highly recommend her for any home / office or other commercial interior design and fitout.”

“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”
