Jacqui Koska

Jacqui brought an extraordinary level of expertise and creativity to our home. She developed a cohesive design direction that ties everything together effortlessly, and she selected pieces and finishes that elevate each room in ways I couldn’t have imagined. The furniture, paint selections and lighting she recommended look amazing - far beyond anything I would have chosen on my own. Having never engaged an interior designer before, Jacqui guided us through the whole process, from inspiration boards to images of the selections in our home, she handled all elements of the process. I enjoyed our various trips to different stores to view, test and select key items like dining furniture, sofas and armchairs. Her thoughtful and patient approach made the entire process enjoyable and easy. We’re thrilled with the outcome and so appreciative of the care she put into every detail.

We worked with Jacqui Koska on a large renovation of our double‑storey Victorian terrace in inner Melbourne, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. The project involved significant structural changes, including the removal of walls and a fireplace, as well as a full kitchen renovation and two bathrooms. From the outset, Jacqui really understood our brief — she listened closely to what we wanted, while also bringing fresh ideas and clever, creative problem‑solving that elevated the final design. She used the space incredibly well and is truly a magician when it comes to lighting. Jacqui was with us every step of the way, overseeing every detail to ensure the build was delivered exactly as intended. She was always mindful of our budget and came up with smart, thoughtful solutions that ensured a beautiful finish without compromise. Her relationship with the builder was excellent — any issues were dealt with quickly and professionally, and she always approached us with solutions rather than problems. She made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and easy, and we now have an amazing, comfortable home that we absolutely love. We highly recommend Jacqui and would not hesitate to work with her again.

Working with Jacqui Koska has been an absolute pleasure. Her attention to detail is exceptional - every measurement is meticulously considered, and nothing is overlooked. Jacqui has a true gift for making the most of every inch of space, transforming even the most challenging areas into beautifully functional zones. Her thoughtful design solutions reflect both creativity and precision, and the result is a space that feels tailored, refined, and completely aligned with my needs. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

We recently completed a high end renovation which we were fortunate enough to have Jacqui on board. Jacqui was able to provide assistance and guidance throughout the build for both ourselves as the builder and our clients. She was always readily available and open to discussion for all elements of the build. We look forward to collaborating with her again.

I first met Jacqui by way of introduction through an architect I had worked with on several projects. Being in the design and construction industry, I was seeking someone with a collaborative approach who had the skills and eye for detail to complement a major rebuild I was undertaking for my family home. I always found Jacqui’s approach to be personable, professional and highly knowledgeable with industry contacts and suppliers. Jacqui worked with our architect and builder to integrate final details and finishes to our home and we are delighted with the end result. Mark Bell. Managing director, Bell Landscapes

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Jacqui on a few recent residential projects. She is a highly professional and skilled designer who is committed to achieving functional yet beautiful interior spaces. Jacqui attentively ensures that all the details are carefully considered, which shines through in the end result. She is knowledgeable and creative and a valued colleague. I have no hesitation in recommending Jacqui to others because I am confident in her ability to deliver impressive and thoughtful interior projects to meet the needs of each client.

“Jacqui worked on the renovation of our house in Melbourne from concept to completion. Jacqui demonstrated her creative expertise throughout the design process. Due to pandemic travel restrictions the last part of the project was conducted remotely. This unprecedented situation didn’t impact Jacqui’s passion, commitment and attention to detail. She listened to us and responded promptly to our questions. She facilitated conversations and video calls with our builder regarding the design calmly and clearly, and always with consideration to our budget. Jacqui’s concept designs reflected our ideas and aspirations, her imagination and creativity really paid off. There was a “nothing” room in the middle of our home that Jacqui transformed into a central workspace and reading room. Our once bland kitchen is now a warm and welcoming space to prepare meals and socialise with family and friends. Jacqui’s selection of colours, tiles, countertops, cabinetry and lighting allows for a subtle transition to our amazing dining space. Our once dark and cold bathroom is now alive with filtered light, beautiful tiling, and hanging plants that compliment stunning fixtures and fittings. Our daughter describes her new bathroom as “tranquil and soothing”. I would have no hesitation recommending Jacqui to other clients or customers. Thank you, Jacqui — Natasha & Susan, Brunswick Melbourne Home

Highly recommend working with Jacqui. The way she listened to all our ideas and brought them together to create a unique design to suit our home and our lives.
