Transitional, Elegant, with a Twist of New York

Hi & welcome to the wonderful world of interiors! I recently found this quote from Maya Angelou and thought it summed up beautifully my approach to design: My mission in life (and in my case, design!) is not to merely survive but to do so with passion, some compassion, some humour and some style! I focus on creating beautifully crafted homes with loads of personality, that are visually rich, and easy to live in. I’m passionate about colour, textiles, really gorgeous and hard to find items for the home and I think it is essential that the result reflects the client’s lifestyle, preferences and aspirations. Background I started Sartorial Interiors in 2008 after being made redundant from the corporate world and I saw it as a sign to begin my own business in an area I was passionate about! I had a Bachelor of Arts, I’d done studies in interior design and had been painting artworks since 1998 so it was as though fate pushed me past the fear factor to launch and build a design practice. I’m so glad I did: I haven’t looked back! Fast forward to today: I’m a busy mum of two, done two renovations of my own, so I understand what it’s like for my clients facing change in their homes. I get that it can feel scary & overwhelming – both aesthetically and financially – I’m here to help! Not only will I put together the perfect design for you, I will be there all the way through the project to the fluffing of the cushions at the end! About how I work I love listening to my clients and their vision & get a huge thrill out of achieving that with them. I really care about each project and always aim for the best possible outcome. It’s a buzz watching them take their tentative first steps in changing their home, loving those results and then diving in for more! I like to gently push my clients a little outside their comfort zone as this often results in even better results...magic, in fact! I’m addicted to trade shows and industry events and can’t wait to share what I’ve seen and learnt with my clients. I’m always on the lookout for beautiful, unique pieces and love finding a range of products at different price points. While I’m based in Sydney’s inner west, I travel all over for my clients. And it doesn't matter what size your project is: from some soft furnishings for the bedroom through to the whole house I'm here for you. I can’t wait to meet you and begin the beautification journey with you!

Monique was outstanding. The Asylum Seekers Centre (ASC) in Newtown, is a community Centre supporting people seeking asylum living in the community. We employed Monique to design and revamp a large communal hall space used by the people we support to enjoy a daily lunch service, relax, socialise and feel welcome whilst awaiting the outcome of their visa application. Monique utilised the space efficiently, yet with warmth, colour and flare! She stuck to the brief and budget and timeline. Nothing was too much trouble. Monique's vivacious personality and humour is infectious. We would recommend her highly to any prospective clients

I recently engaged the services of Monique from Sartorial Interiors. One word comes to mind "WOW" , Monique transformed a very nice guest room into a room you would find in a five star hotel . Very happy with the end result and I would highly recommend the services of Sartorial Interiors, Thanks again Monique.

Monique is a delight. We live in a Victorian home and Monique managed to be sympathetic to the period while giving the decor a contemporary edge. So far she has transformed our ordinary family room into WOW! She has a wonderful sense of colour and space and was extremely patient with my indecisiveness. Monique was also receptive to using items important to us within the decor. We are now working on another room and I cannot wait to see the end result!

We returned from overseas to live in our house which had been rented for eight years. As expected it was looking rather shabby and we struggled coordinatimg the bits and pieces we had accumulated. I was attracted to Monique’s business because she had a clear schedule of fees on her web site and had experience with a range of project types and budgets. We started the process from the U.K. because I didn’t want to be living with half made and executed plans that I would end up only half liking. In short, our house has had an incredible transformation. It’s a joy to live in, look at and we get so many compliments. It’s fun, smart but not “untouchable” and planned to make our collection of electric memorabilia look like unique treasures! I had some vague notions which Monique translated perfectly into specifics. She had a ton of other ideas which she incoporated into a fantastic coherent whole. She even retained some of our furniture and even transformed some other bits spectacularly to keep to our budget. I wish everyone could see it! She recommended fabulous trades people when we didn’t have our own, some great “juzzying” tips and found creative ways around what we thought would be problems and which... well... weren’t! Monique has lots of energy, communicates exceptionally well and was a joy to work with. Highly recommended.

Monique has been fantastic, and I wish I had engaged her earlier. I was worried that if I employed a stylist I would be railroaded into spending more than I wanted, or pushed beyond my comfort zone. This was not the case at all. Monique has been flexible and understanding every step of the way. I live in the country and Monique arranged for all the new furniture to be transported. I am so happy with the job. We are now embarking on a bathroom together.

Monique @ Sartorial Interiors was an absolute pleasure to deal with and has a unique eye for aesthetic detail. She is a leader in the interior design industry, and creates some amazing spaces for her long list of clients. I have been so impressed working with her on numerous projects during 2017, and have no hesitation in receiving jobs from her nor recommending my clients to use her services. She hasn't let me down yet and I know she never will as she is professional, knowledgeable and client focused. Blake Riley Blakes Of Sydney

We met Monique at the home show and at first I was hesitant to hire a designer to help with the choices and design of our renovation project as I thought our home would end up looking like someone else's, however I could not be happier with the engagement. Monique has listened to all of our ideas and has worked to put them together to create something so beautiful that really suits our family and our style. I cant wait to see it all finished! I would highly recommend Sartorial Interiors.

As part of our house sale process, we were recommended to bring in Monique to help with styling for our photographs and open for inspection days. We had a tight time frame to work within, and Monique was able to accommodate us at short notice. Both professional and friendly, she was very easy to work with and was able to provide some simple suggestions with furniture placement and accessories that made a huge impact. When a piece of furniture failed to be delivered, Monique was consistently following up and went out of her way to deliver us a contingency. I have no hesitation in recommending Monique's services.

THanks so much for your lovely review, Jane. It was a pleasure working with you on your project and I wish you every success for your sale and move (I know how stressful this can be!). So pleased we managed to find that stop gap solution to the delayed delivery - at least we're able to laugh about it now!! Keep in touch!!

It was wonderful working with Monique from Sartorial Interiors. Her suggestions literally took our house to a different level altogether. She clearly understood our requirements, her choice of lightings, colour pallet , flooring was remarkable . Not only she helped us plan things from the start , she also coordinated with the painter, electrician etc to make things smoother for us . She was always a phone call away and very responsive. I would surely continue using her services for the rest of my house as well . Excellent work !!

Oh Sarika - that is such lovely feedback and I'm truly grateful. It was fun working on your project and you were so open to my suggestions, which was great. We did well (I thought) on the short lead time and your home is really looking a million dollars! Thanks for having faith in me and for the opportunity to work on your project.
