We are in the process of renovating our home into our “forever/dream” home and we honestly could not have done it without Lynda. Lynda’s attention to detail, professionalism and ability to understand a brief and the bring it to life is impeccable. Lynda is not only always punctual but nothing is ever too much for her. We highly recommend Lynda from The Design Chaperone for any of your interior design needs!

Lynda MacDonald offers a quality service at great value. Overall, Lynda has saved me a lot of money in mistakes I was going to make had I not heeded her advice. She also got me some good discounts. Lynda has the knack of knowing what to put where. Lynda let me keep some of the things I wanted to keep and worked them into the styling. I am very happy with the results we have achieved in our home and I wouldn't have been able to do it without her.

Lynda was invaluable in assisting us in creating outdoor spaces that we truly love! From the layout of the space, to the furniture and accessories selection, Lynda was fantastic. She really listened to what we were trying to achieve and considered our preferred style. We now have delightful outdoor areas that are so functional and so beautiful. We would never have achieved that, and within our budget, without Lynda. Highly recommend!

Lynda helped us plan the layout and design of our home renovation, including furniture placement, style and overall concept. She took time to understand our needs, style and budget to give us advice specific to our home and what would suit us. She is knowledgeable, has excellent industry experience and contacts and she is very passionate. We will definitely be working with Lynda in the future. I would highly recommend her.

My husband and I agree that we made the right decision engaging Lynda from The Design Chaperone to choose the paint colours and do the property staging when selling our home late last year. We were surprised how inexpensive it was and how quickly she completely changed our old style to a modern Hamptons look, which we're sure is why we got top dollar for our old home and it sold in 4 days! Lynda was easy to work with, very punctual and always available to answer our questions. We highly recommend her.

Lynda is fantastic. I consulted her on two occasions. Lynda helped me furnish my 2 Bedroom apartment and make it feel more like a home for myself and my two boys. Because she did such a great job, I asked Lynda to help with my office space as well. Her knowledge helped turn my office space into a fantastic workspace for my team. Many of my clients comment on how they love the new layout and the way it feels in the space. I highly recommend Lynda.

I honestly felt with all my Pinterest boards and readings on interior design "Dos & Donts" I'd be able to sort out my own home decorating. However, I just never quite got that "oh there we go - love it!" vibe until Lynda helped me out. She got a feel for my aesthetics, what I wanted to achieve, took into consideration what I already had and my budget then bam - just took my spaces to the next level. So appreciative and house proud

Coming from a studio and into my first house, I was lost. Lynda instantly understood the look I was after and even showed me new ways to update my space that I hadn't thought of. Lynda has a great sense of colour and spatial awareness, showing me options I never would have found alone, and styling different parts of my home with lifestyle and design-led thinking.
