Fuchsia Interiors

Working with Anne-Marie was delightful! She was easy to work with and she understood our needs immediately, my husband got a beautiful home office and he couldn’t be happier.

The service provided to us by Fuchsia Interiors was very professional. I found Anne-Marie to be very creative and personable, she was quick to put together an amazing design within our budget. The package provided to us made the process simple and the final outcome has given us an interior space to love.

Anne-Marie has been involved with our new build from the very early stages of the floor plan design, right through to it being complete and ready to move in. She has been an invaluable asset to every stage of our build and her knowledge and expertise in the industry has made every decision easy. We found Anne-Marie to be very patient and conscious of the style we were after, but encouraged us to step outside our comfort zone on a number of occasions which we felt at ease doing given our trust in her expertise. She ensured to source the perfect finishes for our home through her numerous contacts that we would otherwise have never come across. She was always available to assist and trouble-shoot when we needed, particularly with time sensitive decisions; providing us with advice, updated drawings & resources on the go. I can confidently say we would not have ended up with the spectacular end result we have today if it weren’t for Anne-Marie - it has exceeded our every expectation, and we can’t thank her enough!

Anne marie was great to work with. She has lots of experience and knows how to deal with people. She was on site whenever it was required to liason with builder and tradies. Anne marie was able to bring samples/items to the house which made chosing products and colours easier. She always made sure that any changes made would fit into our lifestyle and she was never dismissive of our ideas. Her role in our build was further complicated by Covid,however she was positive and we worked towards ordering items or products and being on task so that as restrictions lifted the job could continue A job well done!!!!!!!

Anne-Marie from Fuchsia Interiors provided the drawings for our residential renovation. Anne-Marie perfectly put onto paper the vision that we had in our head and also made any recommendations she felt appropriate. We could not fault her work at all, her drawings were perfect, and helped our renovation run effortlessly. She also assisted in the selection of materials for the project, including tiles, light fittings and finishes. She made things so simple for us and our builders with the quality of her work. I highly recommend Fuchsia Interiors for any design and planning work.

Anne-Marie at Fuchsia Interiors was recommended to us through an Architect. We were looking to freshen up our period home (renovated 15 years ago), In particular, we were looking for new interior and exterior paint colours together with some ideas for a new kitchen, some extra storage, floor coverings, window furnishings and some suggestions for our bathrooms and external pool area. Firstly Anne-Marie researched the era of the home and came up with some timeless colours that have completely transformed the look of the property. We've had nothing but great feedback from all the neighbours who have watched the transformation of our beautiful home. So much so, that we've been asked if we are selling. We are continuing to work together with Anne-Marie as Covid restrictions are lifted to work on the next stages of our renovation. Anne-Marie is a great listener, she understands the brief and is realistic in providing solutions and helping in taking our home on it's next family chapter.

It was such a pleasure working with Anne-Marie and we absolutely love the end result! Design is definitely not my forte but Anne-Marie patiently guided us through the process, making suggestions, offering opinions, answering lots of questions and acting as a sounding board, ultimately creating a look for our home that we love. So many great ideas, features and useful contacts. I am so pleased we chose Anne-Marie and am blown away by the result!

I leased new office space and needed a fit-out. Fuchsia Interiors could not have done a better job- Not only was the ugly and plain office space beautifully transformed, but it was done quickly. I was able to use the new space in no time.

Fine Line Building Design has worked with Fuchsia Interiors for several years and we can advise that we are more than happy with Anne-Marie's work. Anne-Marie is a highly skilled professional, and we rely on her to provide full interior design services to satisfy our client expectations. Whilst working as part of our team, Anne-Marie regularly provides creative joinery design and timeless colour schemes to compliment our high level architectural work. Whether the project is a small alteration or a large scale commercial project, Anne-Marie can adapt to provide the necessary outcome for a professional finish.

Anne-Marie has been our “go-to” professional for all of our interior and exterior home enquiries. We knew what “look” we were after when building our new home but we required someone with experience and knowledge to help finalise our choices. Any question we had, Anne-Marie was able to answer and offer her expert advice. Her friendly and down to earth personality made each meeting a comfortable experience. Over the years we have contacted Anne-Marie for a variety of services. Initially it was to assist with internal and external colours and finishes. Then Anne-Marie created plans for our living room cabinetry and layout. Later we contacted her to design our study cabinetry and our outdoor entertainment area. We were thrilled with how these spaces turned out. The functionality and ambience in all areas are spot on. Anne-Marie was able to find us the perfect pieces of furniture we were after also. She has always worked within our budget and is prompt with her correspondence and deadlines. Anne-Marie is a trustworthy interior designer who takes into consideration the owners personal taste and style. Her quality of work is outstanding.

Ann-Marie is a true professional and a pleasure to work with, she has an uncanny ability to match colours and bring designs to life from the drawing board.

We hadFuchsia Interiors consult on colour schemes for our new house. Anne Marie was knowledgeable and had lots of fresh ideas. I found the colour story boards most helpful in envisaging the final outcome. Would definitely recommend using her company!

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Anne-Marie Kruithof when we were re-designing our new premises for our landscape design business. We were keen to get Anne-Marie involved in choosing our new colour scheme and layout for our offices. She helped enormously with the best ideas to incorporate our designs with both with the layout of furniture and colour of walls and tiles in our wet areas to make our offices the pleasant space that they are to work in. We really appreciated that Anne-Marie listened to our thoughts and ideas and guided us through the process seamlessly. So much so, that we have called on her services once again to help us with our considerations for pictures and other extra soft furnishings to make the office vision look complete. She understood how important the impact was on our clients, as we are a design company, so that the look we hoped to achieve was fulfilled. We would thoroughly recommend Anne-Marie’s services to anyone that was looking to use an interior designer to enhance their home or workspace.

Anne-Marie is an absolute delight to work with!!! As a builder, I have had the pleasure of engaging Anne-Maries services on numerous occasions she never ceases to amaze me with her unique approach, ideas and the ability to always deliver on the brief providing the right outcome every time in style on time and on budget!!! Anne-Marie has fresh ideas that are in keeping with the latest trends. Highly recommend. Michael Xafis

I highly recommend Anne-Marie Kruithof from Fuchsia Interiors. I completely re-decorated/interior renovation - painting, carpet, re-sanding parquetry, curtains and new furniture throughout. Anne-Marie is prepared to work with you rather than for you. Has a great eye for detail and colour and has incredible trades-people at her disposal to make truly unique pieces. She was extremely pleasant to work with, calm and unflappable. Willing to work within a budget but without cutting corners. I would certainly use Anne-Marie again for any design project, in fact my son is going to use Fuchsia Interiors for his renovation. Thoroughly professional, fabulous ideas and pleasant to work with.

Anne-Marie provided us with advice and supported us in the rennovations fit-out of our office space in Brighton. She did a great job articulating our vision for the office and provided us with appropriate office fixtures and fittings. The office is 'one-of-a-kind' and we are proud to be in this space. We would recommend her services to other businesses or individuals.

AnneMarie Kruithof has a lovely creative and consultative style. She works hard to understand your style, not impose her own. She can assist with the selection of all household items when building a house, as well as curtains, household furniture, decorative items and wall treatments (ie wallpaper, paint colours, art). AnneMarie has worked closely with an architectual group for many years and understands the design process from the drawings to the end result. And best of all, AnneMarie has worked with budgets both big and small and remains passionate about the environment she is helping you create no matter the size of the project.

We asked Fuchsia Interior to help assist design a number of spaces in our house and we're very happy with the outcome. Fuchsia interior works together with a number of furniture makers and wholesalers who delivered very high quality furniture pieces that will last us a lifetime. Fuchsia Interior worked together with us to pick the items and solutions we liked. Anne-Marie from Fuchsia Interior stayed in regular contact and visited us regularly to discuss next steps or make decisions. The end result is something that we couldn't have done ourselves. Everything goes really well together and it suits the space.

Easy to deal with, efficient and was able to give different options when asked. Dealt with the cabinet makers on my behalf and solved issues as they arose
