Interior Designers & Decorators in Gisborne, Victoria

“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”

“Jo at Style and Harmony styled our house beautifully to prepare it for sale. Her sound advice, thorough detailing of what would work best in each room and professionalism meant we were comfortable with her choices and confident approaching auction time. She provided furniture and styling throughout our house, the main items including chairs, rugs, artwork, couches, tv unit, console and a dining setting, as well as accessories. The entire process completely took the anxiety out of the pre-auction phase and we could not have been happier with the services she provided, with her professionalism and with the end product - a house that sold for well over the amount expected and looked exquisite. Jo went out of her way to help in preparing the house for sale and we would highly recommend her services.”

“I had an incredible experience working with Snug Nest Designs and Srishti! From start to finish, the design process was a breeze. The 2D floorplans she provided were clear and helped me visualize the layout perfectly. The 3D renderings brought the designs to life, making it easier for me to see the final look. I was also impressed by the timely delivery of the project. Srishti ensured that everything was completed within the agreed timeline, which made the whole process stress-free. The attention to detail and creativity in her designs truly transformed my space into a cozy and stylish haven. I highly recommend Snug Nest Designs to anyone looking for exceptional interior designing services. Srishti's passion for her work shines through, and her ability to make the design journey easy and enjoyable is truly commendable!”

“"We wanted a room that was gender neutral as we don't know what we're having so we engaged Silvia Roldan Interiors to help us by selecting the furniture, managing the delivery and install, selecting paint and curtain fittings as well as finding all those other smaller pieces that a Nursery needs. We love how it looks and know that our baby will grow into this room just as the room will grow with the baby too.”

“Lisa created the design for my kitchen and lounge renovation. I couldn’t be happier with her work. She was instrumental in creating an amazing space right from the kitchen layout and design to paint colours and lighting. I now have a very functional and beautiful space that worked within my budget. I would highly recommend Lisa if you are planning a renovation.”

During construction Alla work with the guys on site with any queries and clarified every detail. Now everything is finished and all I can say is ............ WOW!

“Chris was initially referred to me from Jim's Interior Design. I instantly liked Chris from our initial consult meeting at my home, and his ideas and creative flair totally exceeded my expectations. After meeting with Chris, he then produced a "mood board" for our living area detailing the new layout of the room, furniture and art recommendations. Chris was very helpful with sourcing most of the furniture at wholesale pricing as well as arranaging for delivery of the products. I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone that was looking for interiour design help for the indoor and outdoor living areas.”

“I am impressed with the service provided, furnishing a house has never been easier! Instead of taking hours to decide on what would work with my space, the team at Furnishd helped me source and design several options, obtain discounts, and down to coordinating purchases & delivery. They were very patient too with my many requests until I am 100% satisfied with every item. I am so happy to walk into my new space every day thanks to Furnishd”
