Lewisham Interiors

I loved working with Larissa from Lewisham Interiors. Her knowledge, skill and advice is so considered and tailored to my needs. Larissa worked with me to create my vision within the budget I had, having a variety of solutions to fit my need within that budget. I have been truly amazed to see what a difference could be made with just a few small tweaks. Her ideas are innovative and really suited to the space. Larissa's passion and expertise shone through in the consultation and her suggestions and modifications have really turned my home into an amazing place I want to spend more time in. I have recommended Larissa to all my friends and will definitely be calling her again for any future updates to this home or the next. Larissa brings the "wow". She's brilliant

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

Larissa came highly recommended through a colleague, so when my wife and I began building our first home and found that we were completely out of our depth with choosing things like colours, bench tops, cabinetry, flooring and everything else that needed selecting, we got in touch. On meeting Larissa, we knew instantly that we were in safe hands and found that she was interested in creating ‘our dream’, not her own. Larissa worked meticulously through our plans and explained various limitations with regard to the design, providing unique, stylish and very practical design advice throughout the process. We found Larissa to be highly skilled with working through the architectural aspects of our home, both interior and exterior, and she was absolutely meticulous when it came to the finer details, taking us through step by step on various aspects to ensure we understood and could see the finished product all for ourselves. Without the assistance of Larissa and her team, we could never have achieved such an amazing all round result for our home to date and are excited now that we are at the stage of seeing it all come to life!

We engaged Larissa and the team at Lewisham Interiors on 2 separate occasions, both of which resulted in not only a terrific outcome for out home, but provided a very positive experience for us as clients. On the first engagement Larissa designed and consulted on an extensive renovation and re-decoration at our home in Hawthorn. This engagement included a full renovation of 2 bathrooms & a kitchen, redecoration of a very large family area, study and dining room and repainting and re-furnishing of all living areas. Larissa provided thoughtful & considered recommendations, sourced beautiful furniture & furnishings and helped with all matters of decorating advice. Her attention to detail, eye for design and colour, and tremedous work ethic made her an absolute pleasure to deal with. We had such a terrific experience that when we eventually sold our Hawthorn property & bought a new family home in Camberwell, we once again engaged Larissa and her team to help decorate our new home, again recieving a terrific design service. We would highly recommend Larissa and Lewisham Interiors and would ourselves engage them again without hesitation.

We were introduced to Lewisham Interiors through our builder to assist in the interior design of our new home. During this design process, we worked closely with the principle designer Larissa. She was friendly, hardworking and accommodating of our particular requirements and ideas whilst providing advice to achieve a balanced overall look. Larissa's passion and experience in classical style was evident when providing feedback and suggestions during materials and fittings selections. Besides interior design, Lewisham Interiors also provided us with some assistance in interior decoration. Although there were time restraints preventing completion of our project, Lewisham Interiors have always been available to follow up on any queries and are most obliging when asked for advice and are professional in their approach.

Larissa Davis of Lewisham Interiors, has been assisting my husband and I with our home interiors since 2008, when we started re designed our kitchen and dining area, and our bedroom. We can't speak highly enough of her. Our house is a Californian bungalow, with several major additions. Larissa has assisted us with choice of kitchen/dining floor tile, colour of cupboards, relocation of our dining room, design of dining room cabinetry, kitchen cabinetry, and soft furnishings in the master bedroom. She has dressed our bay room window in our front sitting room, and chosen superb scatter cushions for our couches, plus lighting and mirror. And she has just arranged for framing and hanging prints and mirror in our hall and passage way through to the back living area. They look stunning. She is currently organising the hanging of art work on a "cathedral" wall in our living area, plus lighting, and soft furnishings, and will be re designing the main bathroom for a start early next year. Larissa is extremely professional, she has an amazing eye for colour, detail, and how things fit in a room to create a natural flow and ambience. Rooms just "work" when Larissa is involved. Our home is an older style at the front, but contemporary at the other end. Our experience has been that she adapts to both periods effortlessly. She listens, and has not imposed her ideas on us, against what we wish. She gains insights into what we want, and then translates them. She takes you on the journey with her, is consultative, explains why things work a certain way, and the end result is a rich reward. Again, at all times, Larissa is extremely professional, deadlines are always met, and follow up is always good. She works well to a budget, and is always understanding of that. She is very easy and comfortable to talk to. We love having Larissa help us with our home interiors.

Lewisham Interiors is a professional, creative and delightful company to work with. Larissa Davies, the Director of the company is a person who listens to clients needs, provides solutions which are congruent with client taste but maybe offer alternative strategies. She is meticulus about the work of her suppliers ie the myriad of different trades persons and artisans. Her real strength is design, which underpins everything. From there she branches out into colour, medium and location. She has worked in housing design projects for me for about 10 years as different things need to be done to my house. These projects range from soft fabric selection and installation, bathroom renovations and exterior house patio and carport design. I strongly recommend this company for their listening skills, flexibility, design and creativity

We first engaged Larissa , from Lewisham Interiors, 7 years ago for interior design and decoration of our formal sitting and dining rooms. We were so delighted with Larissa's work that in 2014 we did not hesitate in using her again to redecorate and re- upholster furniture in our informal sitting room as well as suggest new window coverings and furniture for 2 bedrooms. Larissa is extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She always engaged with us, listening to our requests, and was quick to recognize our needs and desires, incorporating our tastes and existing furniture into the final design plan. Her knowledge of fabrics and products is extensive and she was able to suggest fabrics and furniture pieces which were not only functional but also provided the ultimate mix of visual impact. Her work has been admired by many who visit our home. Larissa kept us informed as to progress of the project and was always able to meet deadlines. We highly recommend Larissa for any interior design and decoration.

Larissa made my apartment look very nice and worked within my tight budget. She gave me lots of options and focused on accessories, paint and curtains. I'm very pleased with the outcome and have no hesitation in recommending her for her professional expertise and stylish ideas that are always delivered with a smile.

What a gem Larissa from Lewisham Interiors has been, especially after our disappointment with a previous interior decorator. We engaged Larissa’s services to advise on the interior colour scheme of our new home. Without hesitation we also engaged her services to do the furnishings such as curtains and artwork because we were very impressed with Larissa’s professionalism, attention to detail, creativity, friendly manner and enthusiasm. Her work generates a positive talking point amongst visitors to our home. Larissa’s expertise has created a warm and friendly atmosphere and we love living in our home. We have recommended Lewisham Interiors to members of our family and friends who have also employed Larissa’s services.

Larissa helped me to choose a whole new colour scheme for my apartment. Her advice was invaluable. She thought of things that would never have occured to me and knew how to make the most of my space in regards to ways of making my apartment much lighter and brighter. She knew exactly what I wanted and how to achieve it, the results were exactly what I wanted: a brighter, warmer, happy place to come home to. She was very professional whilst still remaining very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I'm looking forward to my next project to be able to use Lewisham Interiors once again.

Larissa was a God send! She was always available when required to support and assist me with all my home building decisions. I don't know what I would have done without her. Larissa took the worry out of all my decisions as I knew I was in very safe and specialised hands. I am so happy with the final outcome. Larissa helped me through each stage of the process. I have a beautiful exterior and interior to my home and I have Larissa to thank for that. I come home every night loving the home Larissa helped me create. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Close friends are on-going very satisfied clients of Lewisham so I had an excellent understanding of what they could deliver. My need was to change a family home into one that would meet my changed life style as a single. I knew what I wanted but did not know how to get there The key to success was the experience the consultant brought to the initial discussion whereby I had the comfortable feeling that my needs were understood,and subsequently these were translated into a range of proposals. I chose to take progressive steps and over 18 months have introduced new interior colours,carpets, a clean sheet repositioning of all wall hangings,window coverings and most recently tasteful framing of some "raw" art works. Satisfaction all round and I have the warm feeling that the house is "me". Lewisham's strength is undoubtedly the Consultant ,but this is underpinned by an excellent sub contractor base who quote very reasonably and deliver on time.

We have had Larissa at Lewisham out to help us with many aspects of our renovations - kitchen, en- suite, bathroom, wardrobes and living area. This has been over a period of about 2-3 years and about 6 or 7 meetings.She has been fabulous in every way - prompt, bright and easy to deal with, listens to what we say and has come up with some really wonderful designs and advice. She has also given email advice after the meetings and we have complete confidence in her. At all times we have found Larissa professional, warm and extremely helpful

Over the past five years I have engaged Lewisham Interiors for my three properties Larissa Davis is delightful to work with and has been able to transform my country home and two city apartments into stylish elegance. Larissa listens and advises and her efficiency in colours, soft furnishings, individual room layouts has been exceptional. I will engage Lewisham Interiors for all future interior design projects as they have met all my deadlines and budgets and have incorporated my individuality into each design. I have recommended Lewisham Interiors to others and will continue to do so.

I engaged Larissa just over a year ago to assist me with furnishing my new abode (apartment), starting from scratch. I have to say that it has been a deightful journey and rewarding experience, with Larissa 'nailing' every task/challenge. This has included new carpets and rugs, lounge and dining room furniture, lamps, and mirrors, as well as a sensational 'hidden' home office within the living area and a spectacular walk-in-robe makeover in the master bedroom. Not only did Larissa make every 'selection' I had to make easy, she was always on site for delivery and installation in order to ensure that they met her exacting standards. I have no hesitation in recommending Larissa's services to any one. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed !

“Having your expertise and assistance on hand throughout each stage of our project has meant that a big weight had been lifted off our shoulders and we have very much enjoyed the journey with you in the designing and decorating of our new home. We are so pleased with how everything has come together so beautifully and adore the 'wow' splashes! I can notice the differences you make each time you visit and am so glad we chose to leave everything in your hands. From time to time I 'visit' our beautiful main bedroom especially and just admire it! Your attention to detail has ensured that our expectations have been more than surpassed. Thank you Larissa, it has been an exciting and very enjoyable experience.”

After having moved into a Unit I tried to arrange the furniture in pretty much the default position. To make matters worse I unpacked all my items from my previous unit and placed them wherever they fitted (or so I thought) . Unfortunately the furniture didn't look like it "belonged" and the rest of the place looked cluttered. Not happy with my choices I engaged the services of Lewisham Interiors in order to help me bring out the best of my new place and right my wrongs. Larissa arrived and effortlessly transformed the place making use of the space better than I could have imagined. The clutter was gone, I had room to move, and everything was arranged in a manner that was perfect. Not only did Larissa make this process look easy but she also made me feel at ease and not embarrassed about my original choices. Thanks Larissa. You have a gift.

Our ancestral home which has now been beautifully restored, extended and completely updated was built in 1889, with the addition of a formal sitting room in 1930. It had been uninhabited for many years and our desire was to bring it back to life and enjoy it as our forebears had done for so many years. We enlisted the services of Lewisham Interiors to assist us in all aspects of the build and restoration. Larissa was most helpful and courteous and without her support the project might not have eventuated. From working through the total plan layout including removal of portion of the structure, design of the new including the veranda addition, selection of finishes, colours, fixtures and fittings both external and internal, and further to the landscaping and detailed garden plan including driveways and pathways, her attention to detail was impeccable. She understood our needs perfectly and therefore delivered us more than we'd hoped for.

We have been using Lewisham Interiors since 2010 and would not go anywhere else. Larissa has a warm, friendly nature and her professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. She always listens attentively to our requirements and gently guides and offers expert and relevant advice to help us achieve our end goals. If we can't find exactly the right item, then she will design it for us, with the result far better than we had ever imagined. Any project we have undertaken with Lewisham Interiors has always, without fail, been on time and on budget. Thanks to Larissa, we have been able to bring our incoherent visions to reality!
