The service from Despina Design was impeccable. Not only does Debbie have stunning taste in colours and design, she gave the project so much care and attention to detail. She made sure that every aspect was covered perfectly, and that the design was flawless down to the very last detail. She was so wonderful to work with - kind, patient, warm and generous. She was so generous in sharing her ideas and time even on aspects of our home which was not the subject of the project. Debbie and James were both very prompt and had the project (one of the living area in our home) completed in a timely manner. We have had friends over since, all of whom have raved about how beautiful our living area is. We have recommended Despina Design to our friends and will continue to do so! Absolutely outstanding service in every way. Exceeded our expectations!!

Debbie at Despina Design provided us with innovative and fresh ideas for renovations to our 20 year old house. Backing Debbie up was A grade trades people to complete the scope of works that included, builders, glaziers, painters, electricians, window treatments. All care was taken and Debbie oversaw every aspect of the project. Excellent communications all round and very thorough. We are enjoying our revamped house and would highly recommend Despina Design.

We engaged Debbie to complete a full interior for our new holiday house. Debbie presented a few options and we worked through a final solution. Debbie then organised delivery and installation. There were some issues with getting the furniture to the top floor so Debbie sourced a crane and organised delivery via the balcony. The new house looks great.

We engaged Debbie to complete a full interior make over for our new house. Debbie was fantastic from start to finish. Her ideas and recommendations were great and her access to alternative furniture was invaluable. We have no hesitation in recommending Debbie.

Debbie's ideas and designs were to brief and fitted our needs perfectly. She really listened to us and took time to understand our family's lifestyle, pets and hobbies. The pre-sales and after-sales service have been very professional and we love the finished result.

Debbie is fantastic to work with - creative; visionary and importantly, patient with her clients (ie me!). My only slight concern has been some of the lack of clean up of some of the tradies that Debbie has used and one paint job that was not the best but to Debbie's credit she had this redone and not at our cost. I would highly recommend Despina Design to any other potential clients.

Debbie arrived on time despite the distance travelled. She was very focused but listened to my plans for the house and took into account works already completed. I received her very compressive report within a week.

I hired Debbie to assess two rooms and give decoration advice.Initially I intended to have a one hour consult only but was so impressed with her vision for the rooms that I employed her to project manage it. There was no structural changes to the rooms,only cosmetic improvements. Debbie's wriiten quote was comprehensive and professional so I was in no doubt her vision for the rooms would have the wow factor.She research the product outlets,emailed me her findings and then I decided to proceed or not. Most of her selections were amazing and so perfect for the new rooms.Our front entry needed the wow factor and Debbie suggested an iron cladded room divider that I would never have thought of and I have no regrets.Her workmen were precise and respectful of my home.I would recommend Debbie to anyone regardless of the size of the project.She is a professional,reliable and very easy to work with.

I engaged Debbie from Despina Design to fit out my newly acquired town house in East Perth with furniture and also some redecorating work, modifications and improvements. Debbie was fantastic to work with and did a fabulous job with the townhouse, making modern and stylish with an urban chic look/feel. I was so happy with the result I engaged Debbie's services also to style the fit out of a newly acquired overseas villa. She sourced the furnishings and decor all online from o/s suppliers who were in the region and the fit out came together beautifully- making it a stunning modern contemporary villa with an asian twist. Debbie wa very professional in her approach and was always on time with the designs. Any product that I wasn't happy with or was at all faulty she had replaced/exchanged without fuss and made several trips back and forwards until I was satisfied. I would be delighted to recommend her services to anyone, and happy if they wished to contact me to verify. Regards, Patrick Cornwell

We hired Debbie to re purpose some rooms in our home, redesign the flow and select furniture for our young family that was functional, hard wearing, modern and injected our personal aesthetic without being over the top. From the minute we met, my husband and I found her to be professional, creative, patient, resourceful, and very personable. She listened to our ideas about turning our then formal dining room into a theatre room and, about turning our then TV/lounge into a dining/informal lounge area that worked for large family gatherings but also for a family of 4. We never knew what we wanted until Debbie showed us what was possible but she never imposed her personal aesthetic on us. She was very careful to understand exactly what we liked and what we were open to exploring, The trade relationships she has are well established and excellent service providers. We are thrilled with the finished product and wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Despina Design.
