Interiors by Brinnie T Design | Phillip Island

Jo guided us through the entire process of renovation of our very tired and unloved little beach house to a beautiful, bright and light place that is a pleasure to stay at. She also guided us with changes we hadn’t even thought about and optimised storage and access (visually impaired family member) The trades she used were all high standard and there was good communication. We have no hesitation to recommend Brinnie T Design.

Jo was fantastic to work with for our complete bathroom overhaul. I knew what I wanted in terms of overall look, but Jo helped me source options and also refine the design. Her advice and contacts made the process so much smoother and less stressful. We love our new bathroom and you know it is good when all the trades that come in say 'Wow, I've never seen something like this, it's really nice'.

Jo was wonderful to work with through our renovation ... fully engaged with many ideas for us to consider and choose from. She worked seamlessly with builder and trades that she engaged - resulting in a quality build with which we were delighted. We very happily recommend Jo and use her again should we need her design and project management skills.

Excellent work, completed on time, in budget and absolute delight to deal with. Thoroughly recommend Jo and her team of tradespeople.

My name is Cathy Gifford.I am an interior designer currently working in wholesale furniture. I recently delivered some items to a project Jo has been working on this year in KILCUNDA, Victoria. The client was so proud and asked me through her newly renovated home which Jo has curated the interior for. I was blown away.The clever use of space with the combination of wallpaper, soft furnishings and finishes was so unique and awe inspiring. The client was thrilled.The house is so warm and welcoming.Jo has done an amazing job.

Highly recommend Jo who got me a reno beyond what I think I could ever have achieved without her help!! Will be using again!

As an Australian manufacturer and supplier, we are proud to supply Brinnie T Design with our product as we know it will always be displayed in the best possible way. Jo's designs are unique and finished beautifully.

Jo was very professional. She went to a great deal of trouble when advising delivering and helping me out with contacts. I am delighted with her handiwork and would be very happy to use her services again. S. TRIST.

I was very reluctant to book an interior designer. I didn't see myself as 'the type' and, as a creative myself, knew myself to be entirely capable of choosing the colour of a vase. I did so because I was overwhelmed by logistics in a new country town and already knew a little of Jo. Jo made her money with the very first suggestion (ie where to put the linen cupboard). Then, through careful planning across the whole project, I avoided significant structural mistakes that would have been irreversible. It was exciting to collaborate on the aesthetics of the look, and Jo was happy to meet me in my love of earthy tones and neutrals. She also nudged me towards a more courageous edge, to achieve far more stunning results. Very happy - thanks Jo!

My wife and I probably represent the quintessential downsizers - tired of going up and down stairs - looking to realise some of our existing assets, but make sure we could continue to be proud of our new - smaller - abode. Being new to retirement, and new to Phillip Island, our decision making, to an almost uncomfortable extent, had to be placed in the hands of the local, but unknown to us, expertise we could bring to bear. And the creative support we got from Jo, ably backed up in the office by Sharon, was outstanding. It began with a mood board which had clearly taken account of our tastes and expectations - Jo genuinely LISTENS to her clients - and then moved in to choices of paint colours, fabrics, fittings, tiles, floorcoverings, furnishings, and right down to wallpaper in the toilet. Jo also linked us with some great tradespeople and project managed the whole exercise with real passion and understanding. We came to trust her advice and really enjoy every visit - and there were many visits. The project took several months, was occasionally held up due to supplies and the shortage of trades, but we got there in the end, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks to Jo, we were able to take a wonderfully located, but pretty traditional unit with a good core floorplan, boring and worn fixtures and fittings and a non-existent garden, and transform it into a warm, inviting, colourful and character-full representation of us and our needs. In short, we now have a two bedroom, two bathroom plus study unit we can be (and are) proud of! We would recommend Brinnie T Design without hesitation.

Brinnie T Design is a terrific design business situated at Cowes Phillip Island who specialises in providing wonderful, even exciting answers to clients who have disabilities and also want a lovely bathroom. I needed a major design answer to bring my laundry upstairs, to be combined with bathroom toilet. When I contacted Jo Viney, principal designer at Brinnie T, who interviewed me, developed a brief, provided me with design choices. Jo’s contracts with clients provides for project management of the building project, being on site to introduce new tradesmen and generally be involved during critical timelines in construction to ensure a quality build. Jo’s fees are affordable, and once I got used to contracting a design company, (Brinnie T is my first design company Also Jo sources fittings that serve dual purpose, as safety while being good design. Jo’s attention to clients safety needs combined with modern, excellent design meant I could rely on her good judgement and research. Brinnie T Design is a terrific business. I was so happy with my redesigned upstairs bathroom, laundry and toilet, I contracted Jo to design my downstairs bathroom and toilet which is now completed. I’m very pleased with this latest job. I intend to continue this beneficial arrangement and contact Jo to redesign exterior of my home. Kay Setches AM Surf Beach Phillip Island

Jo Viney sure knows her business. Her ideas , thoughts and ability to collaborate are exciting. Nothing is too much trouble to the ladies at Brinnie T. The design studio is a riot of colour and textures and I dare anyone to go into the shop on Thompson Avenue, Cowes and not buy something. Bravo to the people at Brinnie T

Jo offers amazing personalised service and strives to find your 'inner style'!

Friendly service! The quality and installation organized very fast! I’m happy with my blinds, blocks out all the sunlight. I really recommend!!

Jo is an amazingly diverse designer capable of designing for many different needs and looks. I love her maximalist designs, but her work on coastal and hamptons projects is equally as beautiful, and she totally delivers every time. I couldn't be happier with her work and can honestly recommend her services.

Jo Viney was awesome to work with. Her design style is beautifully lush. But she still has a very practical approach to space planning. The end result would never have been as refined without her. I couldn't be happier. ❤️

Jo thinks outside the box while connecting with the client's sense of style. Jo takes into account all the wants and needs of the client and the project making for a great outcome.

Love Jo's passion and attention to detail, she's been great to collaborate with. We've helped design a beautiful new accessible bathroom for her customer and she has gone the extra step to make sure it's not just functional but stylish as well.

As a Contractor we at ACM Joinery pty ltd have found Jo great to deal with. Love the designs that we get to maunfacture and look forward to working with Brinnie T Design in the future. Anthony and Natalie ACM Joinery

I can not recommend Jo and Brinnie T Design more highly. They did an amazing job designing and project managing my kitchen renovation and I can't stop doing more with her...our house is transforming and we love it!

Creative and innovative ideas with a bit of fun thrown in!!

Thank you for your amazing service Your design flare and passion to suit what I wanted I now can’t wait To finish the project off with your home decor Thank you again Jo

Amazing helpful staff an all round pleasure to shop amongst some beautiful items Thanks jo Perfect experience will be back

By utilising her creative and artistic abilities Jo’s work includes sensitivity and awareness of the needs of the disabled community.

I'm glad my salon has a very different view from before, she is very good at creating beautiful spaces and great layout, let she help you if you want a Amazing Home ,she will help you with the best idea for choosing color

I can't speak highly enough of Jo. She's friendly, professional and nothing is a problem for her. Her knowledge on sensory issues is brilliant (I have two sons with ASD) and her range of products in store is divine. It's like walking into a little time-warp and not knowing where to cast your eyes! The colours and textures are just beautiful to the senses. Highly recommend Brinnie T Designs.

After severe storm damage to my home I was daunted by all the choices I needed to make. Jo came to my rescue and assisted me with paint colour for the interiors, floor covering options and colours, sofa fabrics, light fittings, positioning of furniture in room spaces, positioning of artwork. If I had continued to try to muddle along on my own, there is no way I would have achieved the final outcome and avoided more stress in re-establishing my home. Highly recommend for all sized projects. Many thanks Jo!

We engaged Jo to help us turn our new house into a home. It did not take Jo long to completely understand us and what we wanted to achieve. She chose fabulous colours for some feature walls and made suggestions for artwork, plants and furniture placement to enhance our home. Jo sent us clear, precise notes on all that we had talked about and as soon as we started to implement her ideas, some quite small, we felt our home become more inviting. It was a pleasure to work with Jo who is very generous when sharing her vast knowledge of colour and interior design.

Finding a new look for our 100 year old house was so daunting, but working with Jo was absolutely fantastic. She had heaps of great ideas and concepts and transformed our spaces. I would highly recommend Jo & her team at Brinnie T Designs.

Jo is always a pleasure to work with, we supply Brinnie T for most their wallpaper requirements and are always in awe of Jo's choices. She is QUEEN at creating bold, timeless and intriguing spaces which is really nice to see in the current market where often everyone does the same thing.

Jo has a great eye for design. Before she made any suggestions for the reupholstering of our precious Jacobean suite she looked around at the art and style of my home. Jo came back with a fabulous colour and fabric choice. We wanted more options so she happily brought them around but guess what? Her first instincts were the right ones. Now that the job is done our old suite looks a million dollars and gets wows from all our guests and friends. love, love, love it.

Brinne T Design was amazing in designing my new shop. The ideas that were forthcoming took me out of my comfort zone but made such sense. Jo was very helpful, energetic, hands on throughout the whole process. The new shop was revealed in Apr 2019 and was within budget. We have received nothing but praise for the new design even after 7 months of trading. I would highly recommend Jo for any design.

Jo was incredible to deal with, nothing was to much trouble for her and no question was unanswered. She has a great flair for colour and art work. Jo designed my daughter’s bedrooms x3 and playroom. I look forward to working with Jo again next year when she will design the rest of the house

I found Jo through Houzz, and it was the best thing I could have done. She has turned my new, bland three bedroom house into a warm, welcoming home. We've done the main family, dining and kitchen area, then master bedroom and second bedroom. Jo always talks through what colours I'm thinking, what I want to achieve, and makes suggestions, while always keeping my budget in mind. I love colour, and Jo has matched paint to wallpaper, cushions to furniture, found new furniture, and everything in between. Jo has an incredible array of material samples and swatches at her studio, and if you go in you'll walk away with a million new ideas! Thank you Houzz, thank you Jo, and here's to more redecorating next year.

Jo recently assisted us with staging our holiday home in readiness for a professional photo shoot. Jo’s skills and knowledge of design, photography and all aspects of short term holiday rentals were invaluable and we were very happy with the outcome. We received bookings within a short time of the photos being uploaded and have no hesitation in recommending Jo’s services. Thanks Jo

We recently built a retail tenancy for Cotton Onto Craft down at Phillip Island. Jo was their Design Manager for the project. Jo was always available for any design and building information we required and assisted in troubleshooting the as built issues that inevitably pop up on such projects. Jo was creative and innovative in her approach and was extremely easy to deal with. We hope to work with Jo again in the future.

We engaged Jo to do a colour consult on a holiday property for us. Jo arrived early and was full of amazing bold ideas from the get go. Jo provided us with colour selections and concept boards for each room and had heaps of helpful advice, including trades, suppliers and more! What a talent!

We asked Jo to focus on concept design for our Cape Woolamai home and assisting us to get the scale right in terms of rugs and placement of furniture etc. Initially it took some to-ing and fro-ing to get on the same page, but Jo was always receptive and responsive to our feedback and adjusted her concepts accordingly. The concepts gave us a defined palette to work to and a look to aim for when we were out sourcing things. She was also excellent at demonstrating the rationale for her thinking (a dark blue wall), as well as patiently explaining how some of our ideas might not work. I must have SMS'd or emailed Jo a million photos, links and ideas as I went about sourcing stuff and she was patient and supportive in her responses. She also had some great suggestions that we decided to action. It was a collaborative effort and I think the end result is better for her involvement.

Always lovely and great to work with! We are in regular contact with Jo and she has got a great eye for funky lights that will suit her designs and clients.

Jo used all local trades in this Beautiful beach house. In the exclusive Smiths Beach area overlooking the beach this spectacular home is both more functional and beautiful using Jo's design expertise.

Have done some work for Jo. I have loved avery minute, Jo's colour pallets and choice of finishings are great. We thoroughly enjoy painting with the vast colours, would reccomend to any one in need of re styling or renovating.

We contacted Jo to help us tackle a number of odd design features in our holiday house. Her initial inspiration offered us affordable practical solutions to suit our use of the house. We were so impressed with her professional yet friendly manner that we engaged her to oversea the whole project. The results are outstanding, we have a stunning new bathroom/laundry, plus additional storage. Jo has also injected splashes of colour into tired bedrooms and living room, giving these areas have a new lease of life! We gave Jo an initial budget and she was mindful to keep within this figure. She was open and transparent when problems arose. Her team of tradespeople produced high quality work and we have been extremely happy with the result.

Jo brought energy, creativity and a can-do attitude to our project to renovate and freshen-up our lovely old beach house. She was always available at the end of the phone when I needed questions answered or a new burst of great ideas. She was incredibly patient with us when we changed our mind or got nervous about the project. She has fantastic ideas and is really happy to make her ideas work with your own taste and 'comfort zone'! Her connections to all of the tradespeople in the area was invaluable as she did a lot of the mucky work of organising people to get things done when we needed them done. Highly recommend Jo!

Jo is a local interior designer who uses our business to assist her clients move forward with their design ideas. Jo is an imaginative designer, who is not afraid to try new concepts to achieve a desired look whilst working within the real constraints of budgets. She is hardworking personally and delivers on time.

Jo is a great designer who has a clear vision of how to deliver and exceed her clients design aspirations. She isn't afraid to make bold choices, but knows how to integrate these into comprehensive design which is relevant and comfortable for her customers. Apart from her talent and hard working nature, she is a seriously nice person who wants to make her clients delighted.

We wanted to upgrade our kitchen, primarily with new bench tops. We approached Jo who came up with some exciting ideas which included tiling the floors, a new island in the kitchen, restructuring the laundry, as well as new bench tops to hold it all together. She also suggested new curtains wth which we are particularly pleased. Jo clearly has a flair for colours and design. Whilst the project ended up much larger than we initially envisaged, It has transformed and modernized our living areas and we are please with the end result. The renovations themselves took much longer than we had been led to expect.

Jo worked closely with my wife and I to put a fresh look on our Philip Island getaway. We were delighted with the end result. Her on going support with ideas and help has been brilliant.

We recently contracted Jo from Brinnie T Design to give our holiday rental a facelift to improve its presence in a competitive rental market. We are so pleased with what she has achieved with the home that we are now looking to move into it permanently. I would highly recommend Jo and Brinnie T Design

I engaged Jo to help me renovate a retro home. I needed some of her chutzpah to help me get out of neutral and kick it up a gear or two by seemlessly blending, replacing, concealing and highlighting an ecclectic mix of timber veneers, concrete slabs and an over-abundance of textural bricks to say the least with more punchy soft furnishings and art. I love the result. It is classy and edgy. Perfect for the professional owner and her young family.

Jo is amazing she has such flare and creative ideas and totally transformed my salon decor into a more peaceful and calming space

Jo from BT Design has been an on call consultant for our ongoing beach house overhaul. She is responsive and has a unique flair for colour and texture. She listens to design preferences, functionality requirements and budget limitations and then applies creativity and her ability to repurpose and upcycle, adds a layer of her magical plantscapes and leaves you with a fresh beautiful space that suits both taste and needs.

I had Jo from Brinnie T Design come to my home, originally for a one off consultation, as I wanted to change the look and style of my living/dining area. Her enthusiasm and fresh ideas were amazing, and she listened to what my brief and budget had entailed, bringing with her samples of fabric options and design photo's to give me a clear vision af what my room could look like. I will definitely be bringing Jo back in the New Year to work with me on bringing my tired living space to life!

After recently restyling our teen daughters bedroom in Dingley, we commissioned Jo to overhaul our master bedroom. The result is everything that we could have hoped for and now our bedroom has an energy and a serenity to it that it was previously lacking. Jo has done a genuinely great job with the small budget we had to play with.

i got my room done by Brinnie T designs! From starting with the budget to an amazing room it was such a breeze to work with the kind owner of the business. With such control Brinnie T designs turned my old room into a lovely livable space that captures who I am as a person and made the location of my house meet with the colour pallet I envisaged Would really recommend !

Jo turned my very bland guest bedroom into a warm and inviting room... can't wait for our house guest to see it! We had a small budget and gave Jo freehand to use bold colours and were more than happy with the results - especially as she utilised my husbands' photography in the design. We highly recommend her services.

Jo redesigned my 13 year old daughters bedroom with a brief of "no longer a kids bedroom" with a small budget to work with she achieved an amazing result that my daughter and we love. Great job! So happy that my daughter has a space she loves and suits her needs and was achieved within the budget we set.

After the success of our bathroom renovations earlier this year, we commissioned Jo to give our home an entirely new look and that is exactly what she did. Our only request was that she design the home around our love of artwork and gave her free run. Her choice of colour was bravely bold and admittedly we were nervous when she showed us the concepts, however the result was just stunning, especially the master bedroom. From the overall presentation in terms of colour choice down to the tiniest of details, we are absolutely thrilled with the results.

Jo has an innate & instinctive feel for texture, design & colour. She helped us short list what we could do for our holiday house to maximise outcome for our budget & tight timeline with an objective to enhance presentation for our guests. Jo showed genuine excitement and vision around the possibilities & added extra touches we hadn’t thought of to bring a beautifully styled relaxed beach house feel to Tricky’s. We would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for a designer who listens to her clients and delivers a creative, colourful design that is beautiful & functional.

We went to Jo with a small budget to refresh our holiday rental unit and the result she achieved with that budget was beyond our expectations. It was simple, beautiful and functional and truly reflected our beach side location. Thanks Jo! We will definitely recommend you to others"

Jo came to my rescue when both showers in my holiday home were leaking due to poor workmanship from the builder. Jo managed the whole project so efficiently and kept all the trades moving and me in the loop. Existing tiles had to be removed, new tiles chosen, waterproofing done, then retiling. The job was complicated by tiles no longer available, so she came up with a great idea to make features of the showers using herringbone tiles. They look fantastic! It was a relief to be able to hand the project to Jo and not have to worry about it, knowing it was in good hands. Jo's eye for style is amazing and the finished result looks fantastic. I would highly recommend Jo for any building , renovation or room dressing jobs you might have. Thanks Jo, love your work!
