Savvy Interiors By Design

I bought this old house built in 1980 which was very old-fashioned. Marisa was helping me to redesign the entire house to make it more mordern. The scope of the project was not small as we touched almost every corner of the house over the period of 7 months. Marisa's job was to design the overall interior and exterior looks of the property such as, designing the interior/exterior colour palette, choosing floorboards, designing electrical plan, re-design the kitchen, choosing furnitures and many other things. She also sought the quotes from trades and once got an approval from myself, she managed/monitored the job to ensure the outcome was what we wanted. It was my pleasure to work with Marisa. She did her job very well by taking my inputs and recommending different design choices that suit my needs. She is a great listener who really cares about my opinions (this was the reason I decided to work with her after talking to different designers). She always professionally communicated through emails/phone calls to have me up to date with what was going on. Her design ideas surprise me many times as I had to shout out "why didn't I think about this?". Based on her professionalism, design skills, and attitude which always appreciate inputs from her clients, I 100% recommend Marisa if you would like to redesign your properties.

Firstly I would like to thank marisa for all the effort she has put in to choose all the fit and finishes for our new home. We are building our second home and were after a colour consultant to help us in our journey, because we didn’t want to make the same mistake that we done for the first one. We came across savvy interiors by design on Houzz. I must say that we also contacted few other consultant during the process but marisa approach was different. She wanted to pick all the finishes prior to our colour selection appointment unlike others. So, we decided to work with her and she is lovely to work with, she gave us a lot of questioners to find out what sort of look we are going for and directed us towards the end result. She developed a table of finishes for each room so we can get a clear picture of how the end result will be. We took almost two months to prepare for our colour selection appointment. She also accompanied us for our colour selection to make sure everything went well, it was a big relief to have someone behind us with immense knowledge and guiding us through the process. My wife is very happy and she can’t stop talking about marisa, she wants marisa help once the house is finished. If you are after a colour consultant I would definitely recommend Marisa. Pl give her a call before you look elsewhere, you won’t be disappointed.

I contacted Marisa from Savvy Interiors By Design after her services were recommended by a friend. I needed help with renovating a main bathroom, powder room and ensuite, which were all small and awkwardly shaped rooms. I'd made mistakes during the original building of the house, with floor plan and room sizes, I didn't want to make expensive mistakes again. Though I had ideas of what materials and fixtures I wanted, I couldn't figure out how to put them together and how to maximize the small spaces I had to work with. Marisa came up with some fabulous ideas for the floor plan, giving me a range of options to choose from and advice on how we could make each work. She was a breeze to work with, she responded quickly to my requests to discuss ideas during the planning stages and it was great to have her knowledge, experience and skills in putting a room together, when looking at fixtures and fittings. There are so many options available, it's easy to be overwhelmed and start second guessing your own decisions. I thought I knew what was required to renovate bathrooms, choose tiles, mirrors, vanities etc but I was overlooking the less obvious but equally important factors in bathrooms, such as the safety aspects, how much space is required to move around, how user friendly it is etc. I suspect that without help, I may have been heading for another expensive mistake. Marisa has provided working drawings for my tradesmen, which I could never put together myself. I guess I had just planned to tell them what to do, a recipe for disaster. I have no hesitation in recommending Savvy Interiors By Design and will definitely be engaging their services again on another project.
