Sally Feeney Interior Design Pty Ltd

Sally guided us thorugh the renovation of our 'downsizing' home, a 1990's tribute to wood panelling and tiled floors. Her structured approach to colours, materials, and surfaces has give us our ideal home for the next phase of our lives. Sally also assisted us in slecting and procuring a kitchen appilance package which integrated into the cabinetry and benchtops. Sally identifed layout changes which improved traffic flows, screened antrance points and created quiet areas in the main living space. With the assistance of Sally and out Builder/Project Manager, we were back in to the completely renovated home in 5 months. We highly recommend Sally for her approach, design and assistance in execution.

Sally did a fantastic job helping us with all aspects of the design for our renovation in Rosanna. The final outcome is excellent, perfectly capturing our needs while encouraging us to embrace new ideas, colours, and styles that we wouldn’t have considered on our own. Sally’s professionalism and approach and communication made the entire experience smooth, stress-free and easy to navigate, ensuring we were comfortable and informed at every step. We highly recommend Sally for her exceptional work and would certainly use her services again.

Knowing little to nothing about furnishing an apartment, I was more than lucky to be introduced to Sally. From our very first meeting, her interest in my situation and her ability quickly and accurately assess my tastes, left me feeling confident and safe in her hands. She provided a clear summary of the steps involved and process she follows. Costs were clearly laid out at each stage. When I found myself suddenly squeezed for funds, she readily adjusted our plan to fit my budget. Following an agreed outline of the concept we worked together filling in the finer details. All necessary trades to complete my project turned up on time, as if by magic, on the day stated. Sally was very easy to communicate with, readily answered my emails and was very open to adjustments. Progress was seamless and ordered. One major item which would dominate the living area was a substantial bookcase which needed to incorporate spaces for audio systems, storage, books as well as a desk area. Sally designed, commissioned the construction and organised the installation. My visitors invariably comment on my bookcase and I love it. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Sally has an instinct for style and colour, is very easy to communicate with and highly professional in her approach.

Coming with an excellent recommendation from an architect friend, talking with Sally in those first few initial conversations, and checking out Sally’s website, we were confident that Sally could deliver on our project (full renovation and interior design of a 70’s apartment in Elwood). Sally quickly grasped our vision, tastes, quirks, budget and ‘hoped for’ timelines, providing detailed Construction drawings, photoboards and schedules for the project. Sally worked seamlessly with her recommended builder Julian; the two of them passionate professionals, producing quality workmanship with great attention to detail and true to our original vision. We are very much enjoying our newly renovated home. Thank you Sally and Julian.

We were fortunate enough to have Sally help us with our recent home renovation. Her knowledge, experience and gentle demeanor made our renovating experience very enjoyable. Sally's experience and advice made the selection of our bathroom fittings, joinery, colors and lighting choices so much easier. We are extremely happy with the finished product and would recommend Sally to anyone looking for an Interior Designer.

It doesn’t matter if you work in the building materials industry and design development as I do you need someone like Sally to pull all your thoughts together in order to provide a solution and with a cohesive design element and outcomes. If you think you have a good eye for colour or design then think again. Sally can add that fine tuning to take the project to the next level. In addition to this and when you can’t agree with your partner / wife / husband on how the re design of your house should be then this is the perfect time to call Sally as we did. She was the marriage broker in order to satisfy both parties with a fantastic end result. We had ideas which she challenged on many occasions, of which I actually enjoyed this process. I feel sorry for Sally as it wasn’t easy for her to keep us on track and remain neutral, LOL. Friends and relatives have been blown away as we have with the final outcomes. Our house we feel could easily be in any “Home” magazine and has added significant value not only in terms of dollars but emotional attachment and functionality. Many many thanks Sally

This was our second engagement with Sally, this time for a whole of house renovation, including a new kitchen, bathrooms, study, lounge, family room, laundry, and bedrooms. Sally guided us through the whole process and made it super easy. The design sessions were lots of fun. She worked closely with us to understand our needs and design solutions that are both functional as well as beautiful. She also helped us to keep to our budget by suggesting where money could be saved, and where it was worth spending a little more. We love the result. The spaces in our renovated home flow and work so much better for our family. Our expanded kitchen allows people to gather and socialise as we prepare meals. One of Sally’s inspired suggestions was a small utility station that serves as a place for the kids to place their schoolbags at the end of the day, charge their devices, and pin school notices. An inexpensive solution that helps keep our family life sorted and reduces clutter around the house. Sally has a brilliant eye for colour and we absolutely love the suggestions she made for our bathroom tiles and kitchen cabinetry (all colours we would never have considered if we were designing it ourselves). The cabinetry she designed for our study and family room is amazing and spending time in these spaces is just a pleasure. Even the tradies on site were impressed with the TV wall cabinetry. We highly recommend Sally. She transformed our home into a functional, beautiful, calm place where we can entertain and spend time as a family.

Sally designed the renovation of our 1950's beach house and we could not have been in better hands. Sensitive to the period and our desire to keep the much loved character of our home, Sally was integral in creating a contemporary look and feel while maintaining and enhancing the things we loved. With a flair for simple and beautiful materials alongside great design, Sally has helped us create a home that is true to its original period while bringing it into the 21st century. Sally is a great communicator and always provided options, giving us the ability to save in some areas and splurge in others. Professional and a good listener, Sally would always give her opinion, often steering us out of making poor decisions. Her depth of experience is reflected in her knowledge of design and her little black book of the best suppliers around. If ever there is another design project on the horizon, Sally will be our first phone call.

We engaged Sally in June 2021 to completely refurbish our home after we moved to Canterbury in Oct 2020. This involved new furniture for all the house as well as curtains, blinds, painting the interior, carpet, rugs, built in cabinetry, electrics, plumbing and some heating/air cond updates. Sally listened to our feedback on her designs and adjusted accordingly although we generally deferred to her choices, trusting her eye and experience. We had specific requirements around the designs of the study desk, lounge coffee table and dining table with Sally personally coming up with concept designs that we were very happy with. Her team of tradespeople and suppliers were excellent and went the extra mile to get the job done to a high standard. The pandemic restrictions did create challenges along the way but she worked through these calmly despite the job extended out due to these restraints. We recommend Sally with no hesitation and very much enjoyed working with her as she transformed our home.

We worked with Sally over several years to fulfill the vision we had for our lovely home in Eltham. We started, in many ways, not knowing what we wanted or what we could achieve with our 1990’s house. When we first met Sally our home was fraying around the edges and not functioning adequately to serve the needs of our growing family. Sally was wonderful in listening and discussing our vision for the home, adding local know-how and a realism to what we could achieve. Her expertise in design, clever budgeting, ingenuity and knowledge of the building industry made the process a very easy one. Sally listened to our needs and provided thoughtful ideas to rework the flow and functionality of our home. She has an incredible eye for detail which was evident in the plans she drew for our house, ensuring our renovated home reflected who we were as a family and what we wanted to achieve. Sally’s ideas were creative and innovative. She has managed to recreate and repurpose many areas of our house in ways we could not have imagined possible. Sally created the plans with us, found us a great builder and supported the creation of the vision through the entire project. We would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking at a rebuild or renovation of their property. We are extremely grateful to Sally for helping us to achieve a dream we were unsure was possible.

We recently purchased a new apartment. We chose Sally Feeney to undertake the design of our interior. Sally spent time with us to understand exactly what our brief was. From there Sally created a mood board for us reflecting exactly what we had asked. Sally then spent time with us to explain exactly what she proposed enabling us to make any changes that we thought necessary. Sally was very mindful of our budget and made the necessary amendments to reflect that. She sometimes had to find alternative solutions. The end result has been far more than we could have imagined. We love it. We could not recommend Sally more highly. We have a beautiful interior design, it is a home we love returning to every day.

We engaged Sally on two separate projects, initially for a kitchen and laundry renovation and secondly on a renovation of the remainder of the house. Sally collaborated with us to establish an original design and then managed the entire project to completion. Sally consulted regularly, listened carefully to our feedback and selected products that suited our taste and personality. She sourced and recommended high quality materials that were aesthetically pleasing, practical and unique. Sally had excellent contacts in the building industry, who displayed high standards of professionalism and craftsmanship. She checked progress regularly with a great attention to detail, picking up on things that we could not even see. We were thrilled with the final product of both projects and have recommended Sally to our friends. In addition, both of the builders we engaged, spoke highly of Sally's talent and were keen to work with her more frequently.
