Dani Louis Design

All aspects of renovation require good coordination and communication, this saves you time and money. Dani is amazing at this, she takes the time to understand what your goals are, and works efficiently in providing you with options suited to your project. She's been a pleasure to get to know, and has helped me whenever I needed her advice, which was often. She has a good reputation amongst local businesses, which again stands you in good stead for the recommended trades you can access through her. I highly recommend anyone considering using a designer, to definitely use one, and to use Dani.

Dani has a wonderful sense of design. Her skill and attention to detail ensured that our home looks wonderful. Dani is VERY punctual which is unusual for a lot of designers (based on past experiences with others). If she says she will be at yours at a particular time, she is a little early !! She is also a very good mediator in marital disputes, as such disputes arise in the design process !!! Our project was unfortunately drawn out a lot longer than expected due to COVID, and some pieces of furniture took a long time. However such circumstances were beyond Dani's control and she constantly kept us updated and was in regular contact with suppliers on our behalf. Overall we were impressed with her design flair, her vibrant personality, her time management, and the overall beautifully aesthetic result achieved for our home.

Dani is excellent in her profession. Fast, efficient and with a very good taste. I found Dani on Houzz and her work in styling my place exceeded my expectations. What I appreciated the most was Dani taking the time at the start of the project to get to know my style & taste as well as keeping my budget in mind throughout the 10 months project. Dani treats her clients extremely well. She’s very kind & well connected. Always willing to find a solution or connect me with the relevant people even if the matter was not related to styling my apartment. I highly recommend Dani. I will definitely be engaging her for my next project.

Very professional design, pay full of attention to the whole of the style to small details, great communication skills and great services.

Dani's been a huge help all through a total home renovation, and we're more than delighted with the result. She's professional, flexible, personable, and generous. Her fees are very modest in light of the service she provides: advice, purchasing, subcontracting and styling. Very highly recommended.

We asked Dani to help us to renovate and style the entranceway to our home, it was a bit of a disaster of multiple materials - exposed brick, slate, diagonal VJ timber, timber slats, tiles - you name it - so were very lost with what to do with it. Dani listened to our ideas and has changed the whole area to make much more sense - from the first vision she sent us we were in love and are now incredibly happy with the end result. Industrial glam - if there is such a thing! Dani's enthusiasm is infectious and she definitely made the process a lot more fun. Thanks Dani we can't wait to see what you do with the next area of the house!

Dani is wonderful to work with, we have worked together for many years! Her eye for design is exceptional and this follows through into her strong work ethic. Without a doubt one of the best interior designers in Brisbane!

We hired Dani to redesign our outdoor deck and pool area and we love the results! I now have a lovely place to relax, the best spot in the house. Dani worked really well to show us her vision by using mood boards and sent us detailed excel cost breakdown so we could track expenditure. The outdoor area flows seamlessly and is complementary from the deck to the pool. Dani brings great energy and experience to her projects, I won’t buy anything without running it by her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I highly recommend Dani Louis Design, I found Dani to be quick to respond to my queries and has styled our home beautifully. I couldn’t have got the stunning results without her expertise and vision. I told her what style I was looking for and she did amazing job.

Very nervously I searched for a designer to help me rejuvenate my lounge room.Over the years I have bumbled on making purchases and hoping for the best. Sometimes okay, sometimes not. I found Dani on this site and arranged a meeting. Dani was like a breath of fresh air. She listened to me, nursed me through my anxieties and recommended carpet, furniture and accessories which suited my existing items which I wanted to keep. The room I now have, mid-century modern I believe it's called, which matches the style of home, is open, calming and yet shuzzy (is that a word?). She was generous with her time and did a lot of shopping arriving with armfuls of cushions etc., so that we could play and decide on the best options. She was mindful of my budget and actually saved me some money by purchasing some things which were on special. We met at the beginning of November and the job was completed 2nd week in January. She worked through the Xmas break and was always available to discuss things, day or night. I would highly recommend her. She's skillfull, and great fun.

Dani was Excellent! She even took me shopping a few times to get a feel for what I liked. I couldn’t be happier with the end result. The process from creating mood boards to the final styling was seamless. I would highly recommend Dani.

Having a project that I could visualize - but didn't know how to complete led me to Dani. From the moment we met - she understood what I was trying to achieve and listened to my concept. Then in turn - she made it all come to life. She's part of our house and family now. Her trades people are all excellent and of the same work ethic as she is. The project could not have turned out any better and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

We love working with Dani Louis! All her projects are really interesting to work on, we love her vision. The wallpaper choices are always great quality which makes what we do look even better! Its always great to work with someone who is really good at what they do and she is always busy which keeps us busy!

Dani is a super star - styling, decorating and modifying our house in good time and in line with our styles, while also finding ways to stretch the budget. We engaged Dani to help us fill a new house when we had come from a significantly smaller apartment. So it was like a blank canvas for us and seemingly a large job, however Dani took control and divided the project up into sections so that nothing was overwhelming and we were able to focus on the major rooms and areas first, and it always felt like we were making positive and swift headway. Dani's design fees are reasonable and she knows where to look to meet or come in under your budget. Her enthusiasm is infectious which really helps to get the job done in a quick and fun way. We thoroughly recommend Dani! Many thanks again Dani

We had just built our house and were overwhelmed by the amount of thought needed to fill each room and make our new house a home. Dani came to the rescue, designing each room and researching each piece needed. She was very professional and friendly Easy to talk to and not only had great ideas but listened to our plans to incorporate them in the overall finish.

Engaging the services of Dani Louis Design proved to be a great investment. Dani’s expertise increased the pre-renovation valuation of our apartment to the ultimate sale price, by three times the cost of the renovation! I was overwhelmed by the scale of the work needed. From industrial cleaning, flooring to ceiling revamp, bathroom and kitchen resurfacing, plumbing, electrical and lighting- the lot. Dani made it all possible and removed the stress from renovating and staging our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. Without Dani’s industry contacts, I would have wasted days, obtaining and comparing quotes, with no guarantee of the quality results she achieved. She project managed from the start to our first open home! Employing and liaising with contractors and tradespeople, staging for advertising photography, all with her “no problem” attitude. Her flair for colour choices of paint and furnishings, innate sense of design and ultimate styling pizazz was reflected in our agent’s admiration, “honestly the best styling I have ever seen!” I can’t recommend Dani highly enough. She brings professionalism, enthusiasm, stunning style and a calm guiding voice.

I used Dani on two occasions in March 2018 to design and decorate two CDB apartments. On both occasions Dani displayed exceptional creative vision, took ownership, innovative and fully dedicated producing outstanding results. I would use Dani again should the occasion arise.

Dani is an absolute star, I am so glad that we found her on Houzz.com.au. From the initial phone call Dani's sparkling personality shone through and when she came over for our initial consultation we knew that her ideas and vision matched our own hopes for what could be achieved with our home. I trust Dani completely and even gave her the keys to my home, which has enabled her to drop styling surprises off during the day while we are at work. She has extensive contacts throughout the SEQ home renovations and trades industries which has provided us with awesome tradespeople which come with her recommendations. Dani provided many mood boards for us to look at, so we could see how different pieces would look together. She communicated all purchases and options with us on excel and invoiced us very promptly so we could always manage our budget. She has turned our large living/dining/kitchen/alfresco areas into very stylish and inviting areas which we are proud of. I run everything by Dani, I trust her judgement completely. Dani has so many trade connections which enables her to purchase high quality pieces using her trade discount and this allowed us to save a lot on some key pieces which she picked for us. Overall, Dani's professionalism, personality and eye for detail has been so worth it, she's worth her weight in gold and I would recommend her to everyone.

Dani helped us in selecting furnitures and decors for our new house. She also helped us in choosing tiles, flooring, colours etc. during the start of the build. I loved her designs and she really is a great help to us. She has a great personality, quick and professional. Will definitely seek her service again in the future.

Dani was fantastic to work with. She had an amazing ability to turn my vague ideas for my home into a design vision which is comfortable and stylish. She worked within our budget and still managed to track down the right piece for each space. We are thrilled with the outcome. Dani is fun to work with, but always professional. I would highly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of working with Dani this year when we renovated our house at the beach. She listened to what we wanted and delivered some great ideas. Very bubbly and lots of fun, I can thoroughly recommend her.

Seeking advice on lighting and flooring choices for a cosmetic renovation of my unit, I contacted Dani. She was quick and efficient and gave me options which have transformed the look of my unit without excessive expense. Dani also gave me contact details of several tradespeople who were all very good. Highly recommend her services!

It is hard not to like Dani. I found her easy to talk to and to share ideas with. She helped me put together a study which is now more functional and pleasant to be in. Up until recently this was my 'dumping room', for anything I couldn't find a home for. Now it is a great space that all the family uses. Dani was happy to communicate with me at anytime and also open to all my thoughts and questions during the process.

Dani has worked tirelessly to source furnishings and stage our latest project. She's got a great 'eye' as you would expect, which helps provide the point of difference you are looking for from a professional. Will definitely engage Dani's support for our next project!

We develop high quality residential development projects and have contracted Dani on several occasions to stage the presentation of these homes Dani has been able to source excellent furnishings and on-point accessories that have enhanced the apartments & townhouses and show them to be the luxurious and comfortable homes that our buyers & clients are looking for We have no hesitation in recommending Danis services

We found Dani great to deal with Every thing happened as planned , real 'wow' factor was achieved The display apartments looked great and delivered at agreed budget.

I have worked with Dani within the industry, specifying fabrics. A wonderful personality and flair for styling. It is always a pleasure working with her to ensure that clients visions are exceeded.

Dani is simply Amazing ! An Amazing person to work with, Amazing delivery, Awesome results, Fantastic Communications, very reasonably priced and finishes job with great quality work within budget. She gives you the confidence and comfort you need that she would get the job dome properly and now I know she really does delivery quality work ! Just give Dani a call or even better meet her in person you will immediately know what I am talking about. Look no further :) If you need to know more about my experience here it is : I met a few designers (listed in Houzz) and got them to do professional paid quotes for my work. All of them were good and added good value. But there was something special about the way Dani approached, she has this capability to understand what you want. I felt she exactly understood what I wanted to do with my place and she could really articulate how you she would get the desired results. She was very quick with the proposal and plan that showed the setup. Dani regularly updated me with the progress. There were some issues with the building maintenance guys as she did not get the right help from them but Dani always found solutions to complete her job. she will go extra miles to complete the work. This shows her experience and desire to get job done on time. Towards the end I added couple of extra requests and items and she happily accommodated them. The place now looks fantastic now. Dani has done an outstanding work. she had created the wow effect. In Summary : I would highly recommend Dani. She is an amazing person to work with and she delivers great results. It was an absolute pressure and awesome experience from first the day I met Dani and all the way till she handed back my keys.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Dani, and seeing my ideal 'waiting room space' and office come to fruition. Dani was enthusiastic about the project and prompt to respond. I look forward to engaging her services in the near future to jazz up other areas of our practice...and perhaps our house.

Dani fully renovated our 3 bedroom unit on Kangaroo Point. We don’t live in Brisbane and had minimal face to face contact, all our decisions were made via email and phone. I basicly didn’t lift a finger. Dani went above and beyond in this project. She is a wonderful person to work with and super talented. We love what she had done for our rental and would highly recommend her to anyone. Sherri Philp

Such a great experience! Dani is so easy to deal with, intuitive and very enthusiastic. Looking forward to working with her again!

Dani undertook a styling exercise on our apartment in Kangaroo Point. We drew up a 2 page brief: the first page listed our general likes and dislikes; the second page listed things we felt were not quite right. We gave her just the first page. We knew Dani understood our needs, when at our first meeting, she identified 95% of the items from the 2nd page. While we could identify the styling issues, we could not come up with a solution. Dani has a wonderful design flair and was sensitive to our requirements: contemporary design built around our Asian furniture. In our case we liked to be involved in the process and would look for furniture items, etc., which once found, we would have Dani review. Dani also was sensitive to budget, recognising that often the simplest solutions worked very well. For example, sometimes relocating furniture and art work, or painting a wall a different colour, was all that was needed. We highly recommend Dani Russell and Rhondda Skinner

I had a large rumpus room that needed to be spruced up. For 8 years it has languished at the bottom of our stairs, used by the kids to play - Lego, paints, playdoh, TV – whatever - I didn’t care what happened in this room so long as the mess stayed downstairs away from ‘my’ lounge room. It had painted brick and some plaster walls, it had exposed steel beams…it was a hodge podge and I couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I started browsing Houzz and saw what some people had done with their ‘bonus’ room. I dreamt of a room where I could be inspired to work and one where the kids could play. Thankfully I found Dani from Dani Louis Design to help me turn my dreams into reality. Dani started the process of designing the room by looking through our living space to get a feel for how we lived, what we liked and how we wanted to use the space. She diagnosed our style as ‘eclectic’ and set about creating mood boards for us to discuss. Minor building works – plastering over the brick walls, paint colours and additional lighting were all suggested. The fun stuff came next with new furniture that worked with our old furniture, plants, artwork and window treatments all coming together to give us a room that we are incredibly happy spending time in. Dani was able to make one huge room work hard – media room, study, reading room, play room – all the family now enjoy using it! Other than now having a room we are all proud of, the best part was working with Dani. She was open to discussing my myriad of ideas and great at reining me in! She is able to get discounts for furniture, lighting and trades so her fee really becomes superfluous to the overall cost of the renovation. Dani was a pleasure to work with and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her services. You will not be disappointed.

We are absolutely thrilled with the results Dani achieved throughout our home. Dani is extremely friendly and so easy to work with and made the whole process very simple. Dani puts in a huge amount of effort into her work - I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Very affordable rates for the amount of work that goes into a project.

We got Dani in to get her perspective on what we could do to our house, to make it feel livable and comfortable. She spent just the right about of time to give excellent options, that have turned a very option living space into something that keeps the 'open plan' but provides areas in which our family can live in. Dani's advice was practical, experienced and extremely helpful.

Dani did a beautiful job on our house which was outdated and tired-looking. She is very professional and a lovely person and she goes out of her way to ensure you get the right "look" for your property.

Dani was really great helping me update my rental apartment in Brisbane. I live in the UK and needed someone I could trust to make decisions on my behalf. After speaking with her over the phone, I knew she would represent my best interests, which she absolutely did. What could have been a very difficult task was stress free thanks to Dani. I would definitely use her again for my next project and would recommend her services. She was also very friendly, efficient and a pleasure to work with.

We at Highgrove Bathrooms East Brisbane have worked with Dani from Dani Louis Design for a number of years now and on many projects . She is always a pleasure to work with. Dani's confidence , competence and product knowledge makes our own job so much easier when selecting products for her clients. Dani is very aware of choosing high quality products at the lowest possible cost to her clients. This fact and her ability to choose the right product for her client is why we have people singing her praise. We would have no hesitation in recommending Dani Louis Design to anyone who wants a Design service where the end result is 100% client focused.

Dani is a friendly lady very good designer , easy to talk to and work with . Dani always come up with very good ideas for home furnitures and art works . I love my living room, bed rooms and hallway after she done the work . I love my home , wonderful feeling to live on everyday , thanks dani . Nikki lin

Dani Louis is a first class operator who quickly tunes in to her clients needs. We couldn't be happier with Dani's approach with tradies and attention to schedule and details. Our 2 bedroom unit in Teneriffe has been completely refreshed and updated.

Dani Louis is an exceptional interior designer, with a beautiful imagination and robust enthusiasm. Always putting in the extra hours constantly working under pressure to deliver a job on time and within budget.

I refer all my clients to Dani when they require expertise in decorating/renovating their home. She colourful person with an exceptional eye for detail. Having my clients return to me with glowing report of how fabulous of a job she has done transforming their space.

This is the second time we have engaged Dani. Her aesthetic instincts are spot on and we love working with her. She can bring out the potential in any home old or new, big or small. An incredibly talented lady with world class design skills and some of the best contacts in the industry. We are lucky to have her in Brisbane.

My husband and I engaged Dani Louis Design to help decorate and style our new home. We had a specific budget to work with and a few rooms to execute: main bedroom, entrance, sitting room and lounge room. After the initial consultation, Dani put together visual boards with her ideas for each room. She made suggestions in line with our taste and aesthetics and had great ideas in relation to design and use of space. When we needed to make a couple of changes due to budget constraints, Dani was prompt to come up with suitable alternatives, respecting our opinions and trying to always make us happy. Being a first time owner with not a lot of experience in styling, I found it quite daunting having to make style decisions and Dani took that pressure off. I was also pregnant with our twins, which meant time was limited and the distractions were many so having Dani drive our little project was money well spent. I can confidently say that her warm and professional manner, coupled with a strong passion for design are the reasons behind why we feel so happy in our 'new' rooms! We certainly could not have done it without her help and are very pleased with the results!

Dany styled our town house when we were marketing it for sale. I think the pictures speak for themselves in terms of the aesthetics and attention to detail. There had been a huge price rise in our area, but no sales in our unit block since we bought several years ago, We wanted buyers to be comparing against recent sales of top-end town houses in our area, not against the most recent sale in our block. So we needed the interior of our property to reflect the premium location and views. Dani's styling achieved this 100%. The feedback from viewers was all positive and we got the sale price we were after. What we also liked was: - Dani thought beyond furniture and went as far as painting walls and putting up curtains. - Dani styled the out door areas as well as the indoor. - because Dani has her own furniture, we weren't at the mercy of whatever the furniture rental places had available; and - dani threw her heart and soul into her work. It's rare to find professionals with this level of passion.

We recently engaged Dani of Dani Louis Design to advise us on the preparation of our home for sale, and to design and manage its complete styling. After living in the home for eight years, with two small children and busy day jobs, we were quite daunted by the mammoth task ahead, which needed to be achieved within a very tight timeframe, in just over a week after moving out. Dani made the process smooth and painless, and the end result of her work is simply spectacular. We now have a beautiful home that we are very proud to be selling, and sad to be leaving! Dani provided an excellent and comprehensive service, instinctively understanding the best way to highlight our home’s features. She planned the styling efficiently, helped us to prioritise tasks and always consulted with us when appropriate. Most importantly, as you can see by the photos, she made absolutely gorgeous design decisions in the selection and arrangement of furniture and décor. Dani is an absolute pleasure to work with, being very client and detail focussed, thorough and prompt. She was at all times sensitive to the fact that this was a very stressful period for us, and kept us smiling and encouraged with her fun sense of humour. We highly recommend Dani and her team to anyone requiring home styling, or anyone who needs interior decoration advice or assistance generally. http://www.houzz.com.au/projects/760492/home-staging-dutton-park-brisbane

Dani designed and project managed the renovation of the top storey of a 4 bedroom home in Mount Gravatt East for us. This included a new kitchen, installation of floorboards, new lighting, painting, new doors, new carpets and curtains and an update to the bathrooms including new tapware etc Basically the whole top floor other than the bathroom tiles and internal walls was changed! Dani has great ideas and we really love the way the house has turned out. Our favourites are the kitchen (stunning sleek design, with a mirror over one wall) and the master bedroom. Dani's good at taking in our likes and dislikes and turning them into excellent ideas that still manage to feel like they are 'ours'. Thanks guys - we love the place :)

Dani was a complete pleasure to work with from the initial contact to the final product. Dani listened to my requirements, even remembering the small details like my champagne and glasses under the kitchen light on reveal day :) Attention to detail was great and the team went above and beyond to get everything done to a strict deadline. They took the hassle and stress out of the project which was so very important to me. Dani gave great design ideas and out-of-the-box design solutions for me, while still managing to stick to a tight budget. Dani connected with my ideas brief and she ran with it - her passion, professionalism and knowledge was fantastic. I'm competely happy with my choice to use Dani and highly recommend her and her team (yes, you Marcus you gem) to any future clients.

Dani provided concept designs for my Mothers major apartment renovation. We were both amazed with what she concluded. Broad ranging design plans to incorporate the exact specifications we provided with a surprising flexible delivery. Dani provided options within her concept to accommodate different budget constraints and even included consideration of order of works. She was easy to deal with, a complete professional and together with my Mother we look forward to engaging her services.

After having had a first brainstorming session / consultation with Dani and seeing her previous works, I am so looking forward to working with her - a professional and passionate person who exactly understands where we are at, what we want and is full of suggestions to really get value for money.

Dani is a miracle-worker! My husband and I bought an old 1970s unit that had gone untouched since the moment it was built. There were cracks in the walls, lime green cupboards in the kitchen, tiny tiles cemented into the Kitchen and Bathroom floors, mustard yellow paint on the walls, stained and worn carpets, and the list goes on and on. It was a HUGE renovation job that seemed overwhelming to us, so that's when we decided to look for a designer. We called Dani and she was so relaxed and cool and she knew just what we were looking for. We had a very strict time-limit (3 weeks!) so everything had to be organized perfectly in order for the job to get done. Dani was up for the challenge, and she did a remarkable job! We are so happy with our new place and we are so thankful we hired Dani because they whole place looks much better than we could have even imagined! I can't believe the transformation. I am truly grateful that Dani did such a thorough job! We will definitely use her services again for any future renovation projects.

Having not been offered the price we wanted for our house, wE had Dani Louis Design come in and style our home. What wonderful design ideas and such an easy process! Without the help of Dani Louis Design we would not have sold our house for such a great price.

Dani Louis Design did a fantastic renovation for us using cost effective materials at the best prices, and giving the best visual impact. Our apartment was very worn and sad. Now it looks fresh and modern and great to live in. Dani Louis Design renovated our apartment at Southbank. The work was done over 3 weeks. The difference between before and after photos is amazing. Now our apartment has increased in value by $50-100k (we mortgaged) and is renting to profession couples at $650 per week.

In the refurbishment of the lounge room and hall way of my unit I commissioned professional interior decorator Dani Louis Design in the last quarter of 2012 to provide advices, design and project management services. Dani Louis Design as my interior decorator along with associated trade professionals carried out refurbishment to my requirements and complete satisfaction. Trade professionals used in this refurbishment project included flooring specialists, painters and electricians. (Project cost $15,907.36 plus her fees) I recommissioned Dani Louis Design in the last quarter of 2013 on the same basis to enhance and refurbish my ablutions area. This project included the complete gutting of my shower room with the removal of asbestos by licensed personnel. Trade professionals used in this project were plumbers, electricians, plasterers, tilers, carpenters, screen makers and painters.(Project cost $19,522.11 plus her fees) I am very much pleased with the outcome of both my enhancements and am happy to recommend the services of Dani Louis Design and her attending trades personnel to potential clients.

Dani Louis Design transformed our tired, 2 bedroom investment apartment into a funky, modern, inner city pad. Dani was committed to project managing the renovation from start to finish which meant we didn't need to be on-site to oversee any of the works. She involved us in all the decision making with regards to colour schemes and materials so she knew we would be completely happy with the finished product. Dani has a real flair for contemporary, interior design - knowing which features to keep and cosmetically improve and which things required changing completely to maximum the value of our property. My husband and I were speechless when we walked in and viewed the transformation which was done in only 2 weeks!

I have a house in west end which was originally a single level 3 bedroom workers cottage. The house was built in underneath 5 years ago and the upper level (original house) was left un touched and rented in its original state. For added income I decided to rent out the lower levels and moved into the upper one. I was struggling with ideas on how to get the original house (over one hundred years old) to blend in and work with the newer, more modern lower levels. I appointed Dani Louis, to initially get ideas on colour schemes, light fittings, kitchen and bathroom layouts etc. Dani, was extremely helpful and full of great ideas. The house has kept some of its original features ie VJ walls etc, but now blends in nicely, mixing old world with new. Dani has tremendous buying power and sources great deals on fittings, fixtures etc and passes on her savings for all items as part of her service, which was amazing because the savings added up to be a lot more than the fee she charged. I am a very happy customer and would highly recommend Dani Louis Design to anybody wanting to undertake any form of renovation or design consultation. I am happy to be contacted if you would like to discuss any of the above 0404034213 Marcus Newton.
