We had the privilege of working with Ingrid at Maker Interiors to complete our project in Earlwood. Unsure exactly what we wanted Ingrid quickly stepped in to review and determine options in line with our requirements. Over time, Ingrid quickly unlocked ideas and provided the guidance we needed to develop a detailed plan. Every step of the way, we were guided and assisted with decisions with Ingrid's input, insight and experience. We were able to leverage contacts from curtains to lounge chairs right down to paints and wallpaper. We had an ambitious timeframe to move in and planning was key on meeting these timeframes. We were always one step ahead which allowed us to shop around and obtain not only the best price but the best tradesman for joinery and stonework. The process was pain free. It is not everyday that you come across someone that is as capable as Ingrid that is humble and a pleasure to deal with. Our project was our home which made it personal. We had fun along the way, shared some laughs and made the project something that was exciting to work on. Building a new home was an experience and daunting at first. We could not have done it without the guidance, expertise and support of Maker Interiors.

I had confidence in choosing Ingrid from Makers Design in the beginning, but as the project continued I was disappointed that I was given a bill with no items or indication of where the money was spent, Ingrid also had a finisher come into our home leaving unfinished work and damage with us paying a large amount of money with no resolution how to fix this after she promised us. I later found out Ingrid had not given the finisher the correct brief of what I had discussed with her that I wanted. This process left me depressed with what we went through in time and money.

Hi Marisza (maris111). Thankyou for taking time to submit your review. It is not a desired outcome that you remain unsatisfied, 7 months after your final approval and payment in full of the commissioned works by a third party, and after receiving a voluntary full refund of my fees.
After the Third party supplier you mention had received an initial brief from yourself and I together onsite at your home, you were happy for me to view the art work at his studio because it was inconvenient for you to view it personally. The work was delivered, revisions were made onsite and were finally approved and paid for in full by yourself. Subsequent un-billed hours were spent addressing your concerns after the 1 month project in June of 2015.
Despite this, in an act of goodwill and empathy toward you, under no obligation I voluntarily refunded my own fees in full 7 months ago (the third party supplier not seeing fit to refund you). My fees amounted to less than a 10th of the lower end of your nominated project price range and the artwork its self fails to sit within or near that same price range. From our interactions it is clear you are aware of these facts.
It can’t be overemphasised at how disappointing it is to hear you remain unsatisfied by these efforts. Regardless of this I continue to sincerely wish you well in your future endeavours.

We had Maker Interiors do a full make over of our Warehouse space. This included both the spacial setting of storage to the aesthetics and materials. The mezzanine also included floor layout, design of a new kitchen, storage and floor plan. Maker Interiors designed our front of house branding, with the inclusion of a new none signage.
We couldn't have been happier with the process and result.

Thanks for that... I think I enjoyed it a bit too much, what a fun job!
I utilised Maker Interior Design to make my apartment beautiful, given my busy work schedule and lack of style I needed a professional to help me make my home a stylish yet functional.
Ingrid was great by teasing out a concept from me, being beachy, to produce a mock-up utilising all the space in my apartment. This included pieces that I would never have come up with or thought of, which is great for when I have guests over as they comment on overall vibe of the rooms. Ingrid took all the stress out of trying to find pieces that all matched together and went to the smallest detail to make sure it all worked together. Having Ingrid means I have hand-crafted pieces that I would never have found, which gets great comments especially from the Bondi hipsters.
I found utilising Ingrid was a great investment given my lack of time and highly recommend anyone to use Maker Interior Design.

Much appreciated! And what a bonus to get Bondi hipster approvals... Glad you're enjoying the space!

I’ve been working with Ingrid from Maker Interior Design on a long-term project to overhaul the look and functionality of our home. She has paid careful attention to our requirements and found surprising solutions that we are incredibly happy with. She is respectful, goes beyond the call of duty and offers her suggestions without being pushy. She has clear and concise communication skills and has managed all interactions with suppliers in a professional manner. I highly recommend Ingrid. The journey with her has been enjoyable and seeing her vision for our home become reality is beyond exciting.

Starting a major renovation and extension we needed help with bringing our vision to life along with someone with the ability to keep the project and us on track.
Maker Interior Design (Ingrid) went above and beyond our brief. Dealing with errors in plans, changing room spaces, travelling overseas to source furniture and lighting, keeping a planned timeline for builders and trades along with working to a budget.
Maker Interior Design made our project so much easier. Nothing was a problem and always had a solution from plan design to light fittings to where to put the couch.
We could not be happier...next renovation they would be our first phone call.
