Interior Designers & Decorators in Saint Albans, Victoria

“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 provided an excellent interior design service resulting in the furnishing of all the windows in our new home and a secondary rental property. 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.”

“Kylie's work was absolutely above and beyond expectations. She designed and project managed a full kitchen renovation in my apartment. Kylie's advice and expertise was invaluable to a novice renovater such as myself. The businesses and tradesmen used on my job were absolutely first class. I beleive this is a reflection of Kylies relationships and contacts within the industry. The project came in ahead of time and under budget. The result is stunning and I would have no hesitation in recommending Kylie's work.”

“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”

“Fantastic design and styling. Most importantly, came in on budget and on time! I can highly recommend Provoke and will certainly use again!”

“Edwina was referred to us by an interior designer who felt that Edwina would be the ideal stylist to help us get our house ready for auction. Not only did Edwina choose decor that suited our home but queried who the potential buyers would be and then incorporated this knowledge into the choice of furniture and decor. It was encouraging that Edwina included many of our own items as well. This also kept the costs lower. Feedback from the open inspections included comments about the luxurious feel of the house. I believe the sale price was increased by the styling. I have already referred Edwina to two other friends selling their properties.”

“Tenille consulted with us in planning our ensuite bathroom renovation. The new layout she designed is a winner, and something we just hadn't thought of! Moving the vanity unit and toilet onto a different wall really opens the room up, making it feel roomier and more elegant. We were very grateful for Tenille's patient handling of our enquiry, for her ready understanding of our needs, and pleasant way of suggesting solutions. We can recommend her for her expertise and friendly manner, which made us feel comfortable working with her. Thank you Tenille!”

“My bathroom wish sounded simple enough: I wanted beautiful space, with a big deep bath in which I could relax with a glass of champagne; I wanted the bath separate from the shower; and the laundry had to be fit into the small, irregularly shaped space. From the outset I had the sense that Jasmine was genuinely concerned to ensure that my experience of the project be as hassle free as possible, and that the end product would meet my expectations. Jasmine demonstrated a genuine enthusiasm for the project; she wanted to create a bathroom for me and my home, and not simply roll out another version an existing model. Jasmine actually listened to what I wanted. She found a bath which met my specifications and which fit into the space, and then designed a lovely space around it making the most of the room's irregular shape. By presenting the plans with tile, cabinetry and bench top samples, Jasmine helped me to see what the room could become. She also recommended a cabinet maker and a builder who would bring the plans to life. Jasmine's commitment to making sure I got what I wanted was illustrated by what she did with the tiles. When I said that the first tiles were not quite right, Jasmine found an alternative with which I was happy. I thought we were done but unknown to me, Jasmine kept looking for an option that more closely fit the initial idea. She found them, and I am delighted to say that they are a striking anchor in a beautiful room. I am not a person who would ever say that I enjoyed a renovation. But Jasmine and her team at Jasmine McClelland Design delivered on the promise to make the process as straight forward as possible. The planning meetings were used to get a clear understanding of my requirements and priorities, and to answer my many questions. With plans in place and decisions on fittings and fixtures made, I was able to get on with my own job and leave Jasmine and the team to theirs. I was kept up to date with regular progress reports (including pictures). The bathroom was delivered on time and on budget. The finished product is much more beautiful than I imagined. I am delighted to recommend Jasmine McClelland Design. Cat”

“Denise, from DSDezines worked with my ideas about what I wanted for my spaces,and provided advice and ideas based on these, while also adding to them. She spent a great deal of time consulting me to understand not only what we liked, but also how we lived in the house so the pieces chosen were not only beautiful, but functional. Another thing I valued was that Denise kept the whole of the interior of my house in mind when planning how to furnish and decorate a room. This meant it was possible to focus on one room, or space at a time, while having an overall plan for the look I was trying to create for the whole house. I love my study, where I work most days. Denise can also access a good range of suppliers, with many options to choose from. She goes above and beyond trying to source just the write piece of furniture, or decoration. Overall, I found Denise and the service she offered helped to make the process of turning out new house into our lovely home exciting and enjoyable. I continue to use her service on an ongoing basis when I'm ready to tackle the nest project in the house. Thanks Denise.”
