Studio 1 Interiors

We loved Laura's work when we first came across Studio 1, and have found the experience of working with her to be both fun and so helpful in terms of helping us define and realise a vision for our home. Laura helped us work with existing pieces of furniture and artwork, as well as adding a number of major pieces and soft furnishings. We love how everything has come together and would not hesitate to recommend Laura's services.

Laura truely is a goddess of Interior Design! We were seeking to create a warm and welcoming space for our clients and am so glad we engaged Laura to assist. Laura took the time to listen to the ideas and thoughts we had and then came up with a proposed look that encompassed these and more. Laura selected all the furniture and fittings for us and we are very happy with the result. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura's services and look forward to using Studio 1 Interiors again!

We found Laura on Houzz by looking at some pictures of her prior projects, which we liked a lot. After contacting Laura, we did an initial meet up and her interior design style immediately clicked with what we had in mind. The planning and design stage went well and Laura presented great ideas and took in our feedback well. Moving into action, Laura has been a great project manager, managed our budget reliably and got us some really great deals along the way. The project was completed in about 3 month and the house has turned out wonderful and beyond our expectations. We would confidently recommend Laura for your home, she has done wonders to our new family home and we are confident she will do the same to yours.

We worked with Laura on our living room which needed some structure and just generally needed some “cozy-ing up”. She was incredible with lots of advice and great options we had not seen before and supported our crazy ideas when she thought they could work and gently reigned us in when they wouldn’t. I would love to use Laura again!

My husband and I are planning to sell in the next 12 months or so, but we needed new carpet so decided to freshen the place up and enjoy it for a while. Laura came up with great colour suggestions for the carpet and walls. When it came to styling Laura gently guided us towards something a little more luxurious looking than our usual safe style and we love it. When it came to furniture and other items, Laura always gave us several options which enabled my husband and I to choose items that we both liked. If we couldn’t agree, Laura would continue to come up with new ideas until we found something we both liked. An additional bonus was the occasional supplier discount we were able to access. Laura is fun and easy to work with and persevered with us through the slow times (we’re prone to analysis paralysis!) and was very respectful of our budget, which had been one of our concerns when deciding whether or not to hire a professional. So glad we did. We would definitely recommend Laura to our family and friends and will engage her again when the time comes. Thanks for everything Laura.

I have worked with Laura on a number of renovation projects. She has a great eye for design, materials and colours. She has a practical approach to design, that not only enables the renovation to look amazing but is practical and able to be built by suppliers. I enjoy helping Laura with her projects and I would recommend her to any of my clients that need to be connected with a fantastic interior designer that loves what she does. I look forward to working with her again. Regards Blake Riley Blakes Of Sydney

Laura helped my husband and me refresh our living/dining space after working closely with us for a few months. She helped us find a middle ground between our different tastes and we are so pleased with the finished result. Laura was easy going, personable, friendly and really went out of her way to help us out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who asked!

Laura is fantastic and I can't recommend her enough! I had a brilliant apartment but furniture that I had been accumulating since college. Everything was bulky, dark and didn't match. I wanted something light, fresh, that would "wow" my guests, but not be overly pretentious. Laura got me exactly that. I absolutely love my place and host constantly. It is my happy place. I had no real experience with coordinated furniture buying and decorating. Laura took me step-by-step from initial ideas (colours, themes, feels) to story boards to mock-ups and then help set everything up while I was at work nonetheless. She gave me multiple choices for each item and was very patient with me. She taught me how to pick a foundational piece for each space and then build around that. I couldn't buy all at once and she worked with my over a few months to build a room at a time (probably much to her chagrin). One of the most important things she did was take me out of my comfort zone. For example, she showed me couches with metal legs when I was adamant on wood. I just couldn't get past how I didn't like the look of metal legs; pedantic I know but when it's your money, it's that expensive and you're going to have it for a long time you have to be picky. She saw everything working together and all I could see was each piece separately. From the couch legs to a circular coffee table to my kitchen table chairs, she thankfully got me out of my comfort zone and got me what I absolutely love now. She said "trust me" and I did. I wouldn't change a thing. That is exactly what I feel I paid for: professional advice that will give me something more than I can ever do on my own. I admittedly ran over budget by about 20%, but that was more to do with my lack of experience and unrealistic expectations than anything to do with Laura. She gave me options with H/M/L costing and I chose the more expensive items. Independently, without her wholesale prices, I would've easily spent 30%+ more and not gotten her advice or time to setup. I'll finish this very simply. Even though I have most of my "foundational" furniture, the next time I move I will hire Laura again to make my home special and my happy place. Hire her.

We hired Laura after buying our first home, as we wanted to make it as special as possible! Laura really understood the type of look we were going for - and how to make this work with our young family, also suggesting various storage "hacks". We are super happy with the end result. Laura has a great eye for design and is helpful in recommending and sourcing products that are of an excellent quality but affordable! Thank you for your hard work and help Laura! We love our new space.

Not having worked with an interior designer before, we hired Laura after buying our first home. Laura made the whole process super easy for us. She took time to understand what we liked and helped guide us through the many options. She was generous with her time, always happy to answer questions and explore alternatives, and her pricing was straight forward. We are super happy with the end result. 100% would use her again.

We absolutely LOVED working with Laura! She created an absolute paradise for us! She has an incredible eye for detail and sees the big picture in difficult to work with spaces! She took all our feedback on board and was so patient with us through the decision making process around furniture selects! She went out of her way to schedule a visit and coordinated with our builders and landscapers to ensure the job was coordinated seamlessly! We can't wait to work with her on our next project!
