Cath has transformed a new empty "white box" apartment into my home. We started from scratch and the colour scheme came together beautifully, working with existing art, a few sentimental items and my bed. The wallpaper in my bedroom was an unexpected choice and I love it! Her expertise in finding the right furniture, a custom rug and adding extra touches like the lighting over the kitchen island and wallpaper was key to the end result. I now have the practical luxury she talks about bringing into a space , and it truly reflects me and my lifestyle.

It is always a positive and enjoyable experience working with Cath Tonkin on decorating and design projects in my townhouse. Cath has been involved in decorating throughout all of my townhouse from choosing colour palette, soft furnishings, rugs, light fittings, built in bedheads to create a contemporary classic look. It was Cath's detail and deign of my gas fire and shelving/cupboards in my living area and the excellent trade personal she contracted that completed my home and made it such a joy to live in.

Thanks Di , we have had a great time working through the options, haven't we?
The installation of the fireplace really enhanced the living room area and created the perfect location for your amazing art.

Cath Tonkin took on our entire house renovation and decoration. The final result was miraculous. We couldn't praise her highly enough with her innovative ideas, understanding of our needs and her extensive knowledge of products and manufacturers.

Thank you so much for your review Vicki! I had great fun working with you on that project and you were wonderful clients who were open to the design process.

We have engaged Cath Tonkin as our preferred consultant for quite some time for room upgrades and soft furnishings. Her artistic and design eye has ensured that any elements she has introduced has been sympathetically integrated into the existing ambience. Cath delivers on price, on time, does what she says she will do. She demonstrates attention to the smallest detail resulting in a high quality outcome. We have no hesitation in recommending Cath as an experienced and professional consultant.

I have utilised Cath's services for a number of projects in the last 10 years, recently this July for new carpets throughout my home. Cath has always been professional and respectful of our ideas and budgets - never afraid to suggest something different to my original request in order to get the best possible outcome. The suppliers and tradespeople Cath uses are likewise punctual and professional.

I have used Cath for my office decor as well as in four of my homes over the years. In particular she designed and managed a major reworking and redecoration of our heritage home in the Clare Valley in South Australia. She is very easy to work with- patient, intuitive, flexible and reliable. She quickly works out what I want to achieve and somehow finds the products and options that match the picture in my head- but with improvements. I will certainly call on her again and would happily recommend her to anyone for anything from country to contemporary. She is also just a very pleasant, honest person to know.
