Jane Brown Interiors

I was apprehensive employing an interior designer as was concerned about cost and if I would have enough input to make it "our home". My apprehension very quickly disappeared as Jane Brown outlined how we would meet our budget expectations with her clever ways to achieve big outcomes. Such ideas as sewing rugs together rather than custom made which saved us a bomb and the outcome is outstanding. I particularly loved the fact she made it so personal by observing each of us, how we live in the house, our habits and made sure the interiors catered for these quirks i.e. I have the habit of hanging my handbags on the back of the dining chairs so she arranged for hooks on the wall so my bags are out of the way and even look like a piece of art! Jane was brilliant at finding a place for items/piece of furniture we were "wedded to" unlike other designers I had encountered that want you to remove everything so they can put their stamp on the job. As a person I found Jane super caring, honest and lots of fun so the whole experience was nothing less than totally enjoyable.

Jane is a most extraordinary interior designer. Her craft affects so much more than the furniture in the room. In fact I would say it's not about the furniture, she worked with me & the space in which I live my life. After a consultation with me about my hopes & dreams and what I wanted for myself, she then sat quietly in the space. What came out of that was almost magical. Jane completely landscaped the energy & aesthetics of my home. This event came on the back end of a very difficult 2 years personally. I and anyone who has come into my home since simply stand in wonder. Jane worked to my budget and my home reflects me. I feel at ease & take delight on a daily basis in my home. If this sounds overeffusive I can only say that the above is an understatement & I wished I had done this years ago!

I have used Jane Brown's services many times as she just works her magic every time in my home. Jane has styled all my bedrooms, lounge and dining rooms and study and has made it so homely. What I particularly like is that Jane really takes an interest in her work and works with your budget. If you want an AMAZING bedroom you must talk to Jane as she really turns a boring room into a room that you love waking up in. I recommend Jane 110% as I know anyone who uses her services wont be disappointed, I know as Ive recommended her to many of my friends and they all have been in awe of her style she creates.

Jane is an absolute genius at maximizing a small space and making it look a million bucks without having to spend a fortune. So she was the first person I called when my husband and I wanted to renovate our motorhome in the USA. Having worked with Jane many times over the years, I knew the quality of her work. Yet, my husband and I were completely blown away by the end result of our Ultimate RV Makeover. Not only is Jane a creative design genius, she is a hands-on hard worker, who gets the job done – on time and within budget. We are absolutely thrilled at the transformation of our motorhome – it's now the ultimate glamping machine on wheels, and the envy of all of our friends. Most importantly, we just LOVE LOVE LOVE every aspect of our new home every single day. Jane knows how to the get the job done, and has an intuitive knack for 'knowing' what will work for her clients, and how to create a space that is truly unique to the people who live there. One last, but important thing to mention, is that I think part of Jane's magic is every time she makes a change in her client's homes, big, positive life changes occur as a result. It's happened for us, and for others we know who have worked with Jane too. Whether you work with Jane in person or via a virtual (Skype/Facetime) consultation, you will not regret the investment of time and money... she is truly a magician. So grateful for all you have done Jane! Thank you! More back story: I have hired/worked with Jane multiple times since 2005, but this was the biggest project to date. She actually flew to the USA from Sydney to help us with a complete remodel of a 20 year old, high end motorhome. We had less than a month to complete the project on a budget, within a tight timeline as we had a film crew coming in to capture the finished result, so the pressure was on to deliver! She worked with us hands-on every day for 23 days straight. She had a vision of what the space would look like when complete, that I simply don't have the ability to do. She pushed us into new ways of thinking and seeing new possibilities, which took us out of out comfort zone and required trust, but we leaned in and went for it. And we are so glad we did! The end result is a masterpiece and we absolutely love our new home on wheels. It suits our style perfectly, and meets our needs in every way. On the last day, we were up against the wire, but Jane had the job done on time... just before the camera crew rolled in to capture the "after" results for a YouTube series we created for our RVLove channel. You can watch the entire transformation called "Ultimate RV Makeover". Jane was not only the ultimate design professional, but a pro on camera as well. She shared so many invaluable tips and ideas on interior styling, how to make a small space look bigger, and creating a sanctuary to rest and renew. Our motorhome looks and feels more like a luxury apartment than an RV now, and has impressed every person who has visited or seen it on our channel, blog or social media. Jane is an incredible designer and visionary and a hard worker too. She knows how to the get the job done, and has such an intuitive knack for 'knowing' what will work for her clients, and how to create a space that is really unique to the people who live there. Finally, I think part of Jane's magic is that every time she makes a change in her client's homes, big, positive life changes occur as a result. It's happened for me (and my husband) a few times already... and for others I know who have also worked with Jane. Don't ask me how it works, but it does. If you want a beautiful home that feels like your own stylish sanctuary - and/or welcome amazing transformation in your life – give Jane a call. Whether you work with her in person or on a virtual (Skype/Facetime) consultation, you will not regret the investment of time and money... she is truly a magician. So grateful for all you have done Jane! Thank you.

Absolutely amazing experience! Spent so much less than I expected and created the luxe feel I was looking for. Such an eye for detail!!! Can't wait to work with you in the future.

I knew as soon as I got a call back from Jane, that she was going to be the right person to help turn my very awkward basement into a stylish laundry/home office. We locked in a date and Jane was even more bubbly and enthusiastic than on the phone. We chatted for a while about what I want to use the space for. I showed her my home, so she could get a feel for my ‘style’ and then we went down to the basement. I cringe when people come downstairs, but Jane wasn’t phased. She loved the space and could see its potential. During the consultation, Jane made several recommendations for the space, incorporating my style and by the end of the session, I had video of all the design decisions we’d made. Thank you Jane. I love the concept. Now, I can’t wait to get started.

Jane arrived at our home with a huge smile, great warmth and wonderful sense of fun and energy. I adored her quirky style and willingness to think outside the box. We were soon "playing" . I especially appreciated how she embraced what we currently have, finding new places for them to be to change the feel of a room. Whilst we will work with someone else on the nitty gritty details of our kitchen project, I would love to have Jane and team back to inject some fun and colour into the space.

After our home was severely damaged in a storm we were at a total loss as to how to start again. Jane came into our home and from that first meeting we knew we were in good hands. She started from scratch picking a new roof, redesigning our foyer, choosing flooring and paint colours, lighting, rugs, cushions and more! We had started to fall out of love with our house until Jane bought it back to life. Thank you so much for making our house a beautiful home again. Julie & David

I recently updated my kitchen using Jane's expertise. Jane worked tirelessly to help me achieve the kitchen I imagined. She help me make bold decisions in using my favourite colours. I am delighted with the outcome and can't wait to begin entertaining in the new year!

Jane is truly amazing at what she does. For someone who doesn't have an eye for what doesn't work, and what is possible, having her input is gold. She makes my apartment go from ho hum to wow factor and I am reminded of how grateful I am for her influence in my space every day. Worth every penny I spent, especially considering how little new stuff I had to buy - that she could see how to make the most of what I had.

I discovered Jane on Houzz after searching for ways to improve the look of the dark furniture in my open plan living/dining area. After our initial consult, Jane got stuck in and transformed my living space within a couple of hours. I am so pleased with the result, and no longer feel depressed whenever I look at my black sofas and solid, dark furniture. As the furniture was expensive, my husband was not keen to update it, so Jane managed to find a way of making it work with only a few extra pieces and style changes using my existing decorative pieces. Jane gave advice on what really didn’t work (ie. things that had to go!). We also rearranged our other furniture (antique writing desk, grandfather clock and antique display cabinet) to make the living room flow much better. Following our successful living/dining room transformation, we then tackled my two daughter’s bedrooms. Both wanted a complete change – my eldest daughter wanted a more grown-up space, with dressing table and makeup lights. My younger daughter wanted a loft bed, blackboard paint on her walls and more space for hanging out with her friends. Jane spent time with each daughter, finding out exactly what they wanted, and getting a feel for their personality. Then we agreed a budget, and she provided me with a shopping list of furniture, homewares, shelving options etc. We arranged a “reveal day” after all the repainting was done, and we spent a whole day restyling both rooms from top to bottom. Both girls were absolutely blown away by their new rooms when they arrived home that day. They love spending time there and even make an effort to keep them tidy. My experience with Jane has been very positive, as she works hard to make the best choices within your constraints (budget, time and personal likes/dislikes). She is very approachable and professional. I am hoping to update our master bedroom next year, and Jane will be my first choice for helping me with this next project.

My husband and I (age 70+) moved from a 7 bedroom house, pool and garden to a new 2 bedroom apartment in the inner west of Sydney. We had a bed and a TV and were daunted by the thought of putting rooms together by ourselves. Jane found all our furniture, beautiful wallpaper, a brilliant clock, rugs, wall art, attractive shelving and many other things from all around Sydney. Jane is very “hands on” and precise with the perfect placement of every item including mirrors and pictures. Her energy, enthusiasm , great ideas and a wealth of knowledge are infectious. We very much enjoy the lovely home we and Jane have created together. It was such fun! Her work was timely and to our budget. Our place is now amazing and as people walk through the door, they just say WOW!
