Lewisham Interiors

Since completing a huge restoration/renovation of our country homestead some years ago, aided by the guiding hand and thorough commitment of Larissa Davis of Lewisham Interiors, it was soon after purchasing our Melbourne getaway apartment, that we realized we'd well and truly require her assistance once again. Our need was a splash of colour, but not too much, artwork to fill our home with our personality and furniture such as dining to suit all occasions, with plush, comfortable seating and being suitable for a fairly tight space. It was all too much for us. Larissa's calming attitude and dedication lead us to a time now where we open the door upon our arrival each time, and we're instantly at peace and welcomed by our beautiful home.

We have once again turned to Larissa for assistance, this time at our holiday house, where we needed advice on some tricky paint colour choices and ideas for updating the kitchen. We have now completed the painting and the house is transformed. She has achieved yet another “WOW” factor for us. We had no hesitation in calling on Larissa’s expertise again, as a few years ago we wanted to modernise the entrance, living room and dining room of our 70’s house where layout made it difficult to get a harmonious feeling. Larissa came to our rescue. She had wonderful ideas but importantly for us, would narrow them down to a couple of serious options so we weren’t overwhelmed with decision making, with a tactfully suggested recommendation that invariably was the way we went. She oversaw all aspects: wall treatment, colour selection, new furniture and restoration of some furniture, the brilliant placement of mirrors that have done so much for lightening the room and bringing in the outside garden, our favourite pictures reframed so they complement each other and the room, curtains, blinds, down to the detail of ornaments and even the colour, size, and placement of the books on our bookshelves. We continue to get a thrill when we walk into these rooms. Subsequently Larissa has helped us with clever ideas for other rooms in our house and we have recommended her to several friends who have all been delighted with her work. We wholeheartedly recommend Larissa and Lewisham Interiors.

Larissa and the whole team at Lewisham Interiors have been tremendous. The team then worked methodically and efficiently to achieve our desired end result. All of our interactions with the team were very friendly and lots of good humour was also thrown in for good measure! Problems and snagging issues inevitable arise with any project and these were tackles positively and with zest. We are delighted to recommend this fabulous team.

We engaged the consulting services of Lewisham Interiors to assist our corporate client in art work and framing design, office lay-out for the CEO office . The services provided by Lewisham Interior is of high quality, professional and attention to details. We will continue to use their service when required and highly recommend them to the public.

We have hired Lewisham Interiors for two separate projects in the past 10 years. We were so impressed by the professionalism, expertise and quality outcomes demonstrated throughout our first project that we had no qualms in hiring them for another more recent interior design project. They have proven themselves once again to be a company who pays the utmost attention to detail, who responds quickly to any request, and who strives to work within the budget and time frame agreed upon. Even more importantly, they listen to our desires and bring with them that intuitive ability to create beauty, combined with liveability, in a way that sets them apart from many interior designers who may work within a given design style. Time and time again we have been thankful for their ability to take our ideas and preferences and turn them into something with that special 'wow' factor! We have received countless compliments on the two homes we have lived in that have had the Lewisham touch throughout.

Over the past 6 years, Larissa has worked as interior designer on at least two major projects for my home. The latest one was the design, plans and specifications for the total renovation of the bathroom and laundry. Larissa is a thorough professional, who listened to my requirements then came back with suggestions and offered choices for layout, quality fixtures and finishings. I would have spent months trying to choose a tile. Larissa asked me what I wanted and didn't want, then bought over some samples. Then some more samples, from the tiles I liked. Tiles were chosen in two visits and from there most of other choices were simple. Larissa has a sound knowledge of products and local providers. While she aims for top quality fixtures and finishings, she is happy to offer alternatives. I am more than happy with Larissa's advice and can recommend her and Lewishams Interiors.

It was a joy to work with Larissa and her team. They were extremely talented and worked hard to take my ideas for my home and present me with specifications that were modern, sophisticated and within budget. Highly recommend them.

We engaged Larissa for a "WOW" factor project, in which we wanted a very large mirror installed in our spacious ensuite. We couldn't have chosen a more professional and passionate designer to work with, as the finished result was a terrific outcome for our beloved home, providing not only the "WOW" factor we were looking for, but also an incredibly positive experience as clients. From the word go, Larissa listened to our desired outcome, and continually designed and consulted along the way, always available to discuss any of our concerns and answer questions. Larissa provided a thoughtful & considered approach to our project, and provided us with an immaculately designed and finished product. I can't recommend Larissa and her team highly enough, and am looking forward to engaging their services again the future.

I have no hesitation in recommending Larissa and her team for all home renovation projects. She has been endlessly patient, reliable and generous with her time. She was able to take our muddled ideas to come up with a brilliant set of plans so we can go into our renovation feeling confident and happy. Her attention to detail, knowledge and design experience is just fantastic and she happily provided for-and-against opinions on lots of big and little decisions. Larissa embraced every query with great enthusiasm regardless of whether it was about taking out a wall or just adding dividers to a cupboard so my cutting boards and trays could be stored properly. She also referred us to our builders who operate in the same friendly, professional manner. We will be using Larissa's services again in a year or two to finish off the rest of our house.

I contacted Lewisham Interiors to do a complete renovation of our East Melbourne unit. I chose Lewisham because they were in close proximity to the project. We had no skill or knowledge about renovating and were delight to hand the whole project over to an expert. Larissa Davis at Lewisham was a wonderful choice. Larissa arranged everything from the building contractor to the art work. At all times there was excellent comunication and consultation

The experience of working with Lewisham's has been outstanding. Professional, talented and so invested in the best out come for us and our home. Flexible in many aspects of the process such as budget and timing, but very strong on quality and good communication. The results speak for themselves. Larissa prides herself on her clients being happy. The space we envisaged for our apartment had to be elegant, high end, welcoming, and practical. Larissa exceeded our expectations with her beautifully designed furniture and choices of unique fittings and decorations. If you are looking for a designer/ decorator that will always go above and beyond and truly care about every detail of the project then Lewisham's will be the perfect choice. Jenny Scremin-Docklands

Lewisham Interiors entered our lives, via the Internet, in January 2015 and we are forever grateful that they did. We had downsized from a four bedroom house to a two bedroom apartment and we were struggling to make it work. After the initial consultation we believed that in Larissa we had found someone who understood our needs and concerns and would be able to deliver within a set time frame. By using colours, a large mirror and pieces of furniture that we would never have thought of, Larissa turned our apartment into the beautiful home it is today. Larissa also had no hesitation incorporating furniture that we had brought from our previous home. Neither of us ever considered red and black as two of our favourite colours but now our dining room chairs have been reupholstered in black, our recliner chair is red and many of our other pieces are either red or black. One of Larissa's many assets is her list of excellent Tradespeople/Craftspeople who she can call on at a moments notice and who deliver on time. Another that impressed us very much was that Larissa or Tarya were always on site when an item was being delivered or installed such as blinds, mirror, furniture (both new and restored) and new and reframed art pieces. Another asset is Larissa's 'fascination' with detail. Larissa designed a 'piece' of joinery for the study which incorporates cupboards, drawers, storage and a bar to die for. For this we received at least five sets of drawings all with a very slight change but each one an improvement on the previous. When contacting Larissa or Tarya, if not immediately available, it would only be a very short time before a reply would be received either by email, text or telephone. It has been a real pleasure dealing with Larissa and her Staff. It has been a journey of learning and great pleasure as we got to know Larissa and she got to know us. We now have a beautiful home to which we are proud and happy to have friends come and visit and for all of this we say Thank You So Much Lewisham Interiors. Julian and Celine
