Downsizing Services in Richmond, Victoria

“Retiring, downsizing, moving State and in need of a new kitchen. Stressed? Oh yes! Where to start? Well, out walking our Dalmatian Bella, happenstance brought us to Keypiece Design Studio. We walked in unannounced and the rest as they say is history! Jo-Anne took pity on us, placed us firmly under her colourful Bird of Paradise wing and guided us seamlessly through what would have been a minefield for us. Imagine this poor lady visiting our home for the first time to be met with only one painting on the wall, little furniture and even less object d'art on show. No clues there then as to our lifestyle, likes and dislikes! She listened, engaged and actively encouraged our input. Jo-Anne's vast design experience, calm determined demeanour, exciting and innovative ideas resonated with us and saw us eager and impatient to proceed. Her relationship with Emma, Contractors, builders and suppliers alike was conducted with respect on both sides which saw the project move along swiftly. On paper the kitchen plans were inspiring. In reality the finished kitchen is my dream of stylish contemporary design. Everything and more that I could have hoped for. Soaring to ceiling wall cabinets with the most elegant sexy handles. A double butlers sink, my husbands only plea for inclusion. Being such a messy cook the huge double recycle pullout storage bins brings a self satisfied smile to my face every day they are used. The innovative graphite colour powder coated tin backsplash - Jo-Anne assured it was easy clean - and she was so right, is a triumph drawing the colours of the wall cabinets and bench tops together and a great talking point for guests. The black and white mosaic island bench ties in the kitchen and adds a dramatic pop of colour and interest. The handsome spotted gum wooden flooring grounds (no pun intended) not only the kitchen but also the dining and sitting room creating a spacious open feel that flows.There were no nasty surprises or budget overruns with work dovetailing seamlessly. Sometimes in life one just gets lucky. Luck was certainly involved in finding Jo-Anne but there was no luck involved in the design and implementation of our kitchen - that was due to sheer professionalism. Thank you Jo-Anne.”

“Giulianna came to my house to give advice on colours for the interior. I immediately felt confident that she listened to what I would like and she presented a colour scheme that I love. My house has now been painted all the way through, including the kitchen cupboards. Giulianna also offered some great ideas for bedroom wallpaper to fit in with current furnishings. When I sent photos of the completed painting and hung wallpaper, Giulianna has offered further ideas to help style the rooms, going above and beyond the original consultation.”

“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!”
