Fuchsia Interiors

One of the best decisions we made when beginning planning of our renovations was employing Fuscia Interiors. Having the vision and advice of Anne - Marie was amazing, and we are extremely happy with the outcome. She was also fantastic in assisting in communication with other tradesman, saving me from a mini break down . I would highly recommended Fuscia Interiors for any design requirements.

I love my home! I started out wanting to do a minor renovation then decided to do something more major. Anne-Marie had great ideas all along the way. I was a bit nervous as to how things would all come together, but took the leap of faith and am so glad I did. I had a lot of ideas and pictures and Anne-Marie patiently showed me how the ideas could be incorporated to give me something even better than what I originally wanted. Thanks so much for helping me create my dream home!

My wife and I engaged Fuchsia Interiors after we purchased a house which required a slight remodel to correct some sub-optimal renovations done by the previous owner. After purchase, my wife and I debated whether we would hire a design professional or DIY. We eventually agreed to give a professional a go - though my wife remained skeptical. She believed as we already had ideas about what we wanted and were qualified by way of watching countless hours of renovation themed TV (e.g. Selling Houses Australia, Love it Or List It, etc.) we didn't need outside assistance. I am pleased to note my wife's initial skepticism was very short lived and Anne-Marie exceeded our expectations in every way! Upon engagement, she was great at listening to our vision and ideas while giving her informed and insightful feedback on it and offering her own ideas. We couldn't be happier with the recommendations AM suggested (which we wouldn't have done without her assistance and absolutely made the strongest impact). For instance, she identified issue with the floor plan that interfered with the flow of space we were creating, I assumed we'd have to live with it, but AM was able to propose creative ways to fit the removal of a wall into our budget. She helped us assess each component of the remodel, from floor plan, to cabinetry design and furniture selection and even helped us ballpark the projected duration and cost of the project based on different variables. Anne-Marie was a true pleasure to work with, answering our many questions and being generous with her time. Including, visiting a house in the area which we were inspired by. After completion of the renovations, we had our house revalued. On a conservative basis, we achieved around a 3 times return on our cash investment (adjusted for CPI/price movements within the market). The valuer stated this was largely due to the removal of the wall and the quality of cabinetry which Fuchsia Interiors designed. Needless to say the wife and I have been really happy with Fuchsia and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fuchsia to anyone.

We engaged Anne-Marie to assist us with the interior design of our new home and we couldn't be more pleased with the result. We had some ideas about what we wanted and Anne-Marie brought those ideas to life. Her guidance on tapware, colours selections and cabinetry made this daunting task so much easier. Anne-Marie was a pleasure to work with. She was professional, thorough, efficient and cost effective. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

Doing a major renovation, we had little idea about the look we were after. It was not until we started working with Anne-Marie that things started to come together. She was able to guide us on many different areas on the renovation - from colours to tiles to carpet to bench tops - she was across it all. Once we had moved back in we then utilised Anne-marie to help choose our furniture, which made a daunting task that much easier. She was aways ready to help, making suggestions, but keeping our ideas in mind. We were so impressed that my husband has since utilised Anne-Marie's skills for another project.

Anne-Marie helped us to completely redesign the floor plan of our 50 year old weatherboard home, including a small extension and we couldn't be happier. Being a budget sensitive job, she worked extremely hard to present us with a very clever floor plan, achieving amazing results to create a wonderful space for us to live in and for the family to grow. She showed such diversity in her designs and ideas and really took the time to understand exactly what we were hoping to achieve within our budget. I would highly recommend Anne-Marie to anyone wanting to make any kind of improvements to their home, what she achieved for us exceeded my every expectation!!

I hired this company on the recommendation of a friend. I had no prior relationship. I found Anne-Marie professional, patient, creative, hard working and a pleasure to work with.

We used Anne Marie for the design and finish of our living area, kitchen, pantry and laundry. She found errors in the original plans with respect to window heights etc vs the appliances purchased and changed the layout saving us time and money. All these have worked a treat and living in the house for three years we could not imagine it done any other way. Another plus was that our builder quoted very sharp on the kitchen as the plans were so detailed that it saved his kitchen guy having to figure it out and he knew that there would be no surprises. We also found that our original spec for the wall finish behind the fireplace looked wrong in her cad drawings and changed the finish, saving a bunch of money but more importantly giving us a much better result. As the design process marched on we also got her to do the lighting and result has been 10/10 for lighting as we have no dark spots and can change the mood by using alternative circuits. We have given her referrals for our friends and that is probably the highest accolade.

Professional, tasteful and creative approach to interior design, I would recommend their services to developers or home owners in Melbourne Bayside.

Thanks Fuchsia interiors. Comprehensive advise for our 45m square living area renovation, which included the removal of walls and overall layout of the space. The drawings provided concise information to scale for the planning and design of the kitchen, lighting installation and the acquisition of furniture and fittings. Three or Four consultations helped refine and develop colour texture and appropriate use for the our living style and requirements. The advise was firm but sympathetic to the taste and desires of the client. Highly Recommended!

Anne-Marie Kruithof of Fuchsia Interiors has worked in collaboration with James Rigney Architects on a number of very successful high-end residential projects in the Melbourne Bayside area over the last few years. We find her a pleasure to work with, as alongside her talent and passion for interior design she is responsive to client and consultant needs and is a good listener and communicator. She has an excellent interior design and documentation skill set along with a good background working with Architects and Builders which has given her an understanding of the design and construction process which I have found lacking in many interior designers. I am pleased to be able to recommend Anne-Marie to any potential clients.

We had the pleasure of working with Anne-Marie on a large renovation of our 1960's house that was in great need of a make over. She assisted by completely redesigning the floor plan and created a much better flow through the house. She also helped us with cabinetry design, bathroom layouts, internal and external colour scheme and selections of all finishes. The end result is fantastic and we are so grateful for her expertise. We found Anne-Marie to be very professional and a delight to work with throughout the whole project. We felt that we could really put our trust in her being patient with us and always listening to our ideas. She has a great eye for detail and works very hard to understand your style. We have since used Anne-Marie for other renovation projects and will be working with her again to help with the complete interior design of our country house that we are building in the near future. We would highly recommend Anne-Marie for your next project.
