Interior Designers & Decorators in Moonee Valley, 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”

“The delightful Vikki never disappoints. She has a great work ethic and mixed with her creative flair guarantees good results. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Vikki and continue to recommend her to many of my friends and colleagues looking for interior advice.”

“We have worked with Michelle from Colour Confidence on numerous display homes & all have come up brilliantly! The whole concept of the exterior/interior colours, finishes & material selections has always tied in well with the furniture & accessory selections & we receive many compliments from people who walk through our displays. Michelle also designed the interiors for our home that won the MBA award for the display home of the year $500,000 to $750,000, the interior & styling of the home went a huge way to helping us win this award.”

“We have been using Lewisham Interiors since 2010 and would not go anywhere else. Larissa has a warm, friendly nature and her professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. She always listens attentively to our requirements and gently guides and offers expert and relevant advice to help us achieve our end goals. If we can't find exactly the right item, then she will design it for us, with the result far better than we had ever imagined. Any project we have undertaken with Lewisham Interiors has always, without fail, been on time and on budget. Thanks to Larissa, we have been able to bring our incoherent visions to reality!”

“I contacted Marisa from Savvy Interiors By Design after her services were recommended by a friend. I needed help with renovating a main bathroom, powder room and ensuite, which were all small and awkwardly shaped rooms. I'd made mistakes during the original building of the house, with floor plan and room sizes, I didn't want to make expensive mistakes again. Though I had ideas of what materials and fixtures I wanted, I couldn't figure out how to put them together and how to maximize the small spaces I had to work with. Marisa came up with some fabulous ideas for the floor plan, giving me a range of options to choose from and advice on how we could make each work. She was a breeze to work with, she responded quickly to my requests to discuss ideas during the planning stages and it was great to have her knowledge, experience and skills in putting a room together, when looking at fixtures and fittings. There are so many options available, it's easy to be overwhelmed and start second guessing your own decisions. I thought I knew what was required to renovate bathrooms, choose tiles, mirrors, vanities etc but I was overlooking the less obvious but equally important factors in bathrooms, such as the safety aspects, how much space is required to move around, how user friendly it is etc. I suspect that without help, I may have been heading for another expensive mistake. Marisa has provided working drawings for my tradesmen, which I could never put together myself. I guess I had just planned to tell them what to do, a recipe for disaster. I have no hesitation in recommending Savvy Interiors By Design and will definitely be engaging their services again on another project.”

“We hired Emme designs to decorate our penthouse and were very pleased with the results.Before proceeding , with her company,Emmy put our minds at ease by preparing a folio, showing us various materials, colour palette and fabric swatches to be used for our project. Emmy was very professional, communicated well, and was easy to talk to,understanding exactly what we liked…eg. we opted for a minimalist modern decor, for furniture ,T.V. cabinet, study nook etc.She had good contacts, and knew exactly where to source everything from, therefore saving us heaps. Emmy was very reliable and always kept her appointments on time. We highly recommend her for her knowledge and experience.”

Sophie's accuracy in finding the exact items briefed is too her credit and shows her experience. Sophie also provides outstanding follow up service and to this day still sends thru new ideas to furnish our home I would highly recommend Interior Decorating by Sophie.”

“Giulianna came to my house to give advice on colours for the interior. I immediately felt confident that she listened to what I would like and she presented a colour scheme that I love. My house has now been painted all the way through, including the kitchen cupboards. Giulianna also offered some great ideas for bedroom wallpaper to fit in with current furnishings. When I sent photos of the completed painting and hung wallpaper, Giulianna has offered further ideas to help style the rooms, going above and beyond the original consultation.”
