Space Planning Services in Manly, New South Wales

“Nathalie and her team are consummate professionals. I wanted to modernise my house and Natalie came in with her team and changed a dark out-dated space into a fresh modern liveable environment, which full of light and striking features. Builders and contractors alike were courteous and caring. We were kept in the loop at all times and the end result is beautiful.”

“We can’t recommend Elsa from Vanko Interiors highly enough. We are delighted with the finished product (interior design of all common living spaces), looking forward to the next stage (bedrooms and exterior) and have found the process relaxed and fun. Elsa’s design skills and knowledge are impeccable and her communication and organisational skills make working with her both easy and very enjoyable. My husband and I have quite different styles and priorities, but with Elsa’s assistance we were able to agree on a plan, a vision and individual furniture and design choices that we both love and connect with. Her ability to create a very personal but tangible concept for us to base design choices on gives our home and living spaces a cohesive and unique feel. Elsa coped admirably with our vague budget and her advice on where to prioritise expenditure for maximum impact was invaluable.”

“I had the privilege of working with Seaside Creative Interiors on a the interior design of a purpose built early childhood centre. The brief was to make the kids, families and staff to feel like they were in a home, while incorporating all the legal and practical obligations of a childcare centre. Jodie Holmes from Seaside Creative is that rare breed of creative who combines brilliant design with excellent planning and communication skills. She is a pleasure to work with and the result of her work was nothing short of outstanding. The word of mouth for the centre spread like wildfire and her work won a Sydney Design Award for public space.”

“Kahlia is thoughful, creative and passionate - the work she completed at our home showed her attention to detail and ability to understand our families needs. She was a delight to work with from the moment she entered our house and our living space is a much more comfortable and stylish area because of her. Highly recommend!”

“From the moment I stepped into Karanda Interiors and handed my house plans over to Toni Ford I knew everything was going to brilliant and she didn't prove me wrong. It was the absolute best decision I ever made. I would not have the home I have today. With over 40 years of experiece in interiors her knowledge was worth every single cent. She is highly professional and well respected in her industry. She listened to what I wanted from start to finish. My brief was to fit a family of six with a separate area for my 84 year mum on a 323 sq block of land. Not a problem she said! I booked her on the spot for the long haul to oversee the completion of my home. There are so many decisions to make from the colour of the walls to what type of oven you want. She guided me with very clever interior design and interior architecture ideas cutting out all the confusion and stress associated with building a home. Going shopping with her for kitchen appliances/ bathroom fittings/ floor coverings etc was so easy and simple. She also gave me great ideas to decorate and style my home. Toni has an extensive in house fabric/ blind and shutter library why would you go anywhere else. She maximised the limited space in my home to it's full potential. She can also custom make furniture to place in your home cutting out all the leg work. I now have a beautiful home which is functional, flows,easy to maintain and clean. Everyone is happy!!”

“The shelving in the built-in cupboards in all four bedrooms, which Chris constructed, look fantastic. The excellent craftsmanship will not only look good for many years to come but it also has created a much more efficient use of space and it is flexible so we can change things as the children grow up. We can finally properly unpack our things and settle into our new home. A huge thank you must also be made to Sally for all her advice and assistance in preparing the design! I cannot recommend the Clever Closet company more highly!”

“What can I say – Santamaria Design were outstanding! We had built a new family home and didn’t know where to start with decorating. We found Lisa and she made the process easy from start to finish. We love our living space and everyone that visits loves it too. We are very proud of our home now. From sofas to accent chairs, floor rugs to custom made furniture and artwork our rooms look amazing. Thank you Lisa we love it! She was a pleasure to work with and made it lots of fun. We would highly recommend Lisa at Santamaria Design for any decorating job!”

“Monique from Satorial Interiors was instrumental in the complete redecorating of our beautiful home. Being busy professionals we did not have the time (nor the expert ability) to source bathroom tiles and fittings, curtains, blinds, additional furniture, floor coverings, kitchens, builders, painters and anything else that you can think of when you change everything in your home. Monique did all of this this to perfection and within just weeks. The end result was a better use space that looks utterly devine. Moving our bedroom to an unused lounge room, giving us the opportunity to have a walk in robe and ensuite, was just one of her brilliant suggestions. Engaging Monique for our project extended our home decor comfort zone, but at the same time allowed us to make decisions with confidence. She truely understood our personal style and worked with our existing furniture and colour preferences to design a home that is unique and suits our lifestyle. Monique has been an absolute delight to work with and has been extremely helpful in dealing with our builder and other professionals to bring her plan for our home to life. Wayne & Sonia”

“We have just completed the sale of our house thanks in a large part to the efforts of Sarah in styling the house. We were more than pleased with her ability to produce a design solution that transformed empty rooms into stunning spaces. Sarah has great perception of colour. The task was done with a minimum of fuss and within budget. Without doubt her efforts were key to capturing the hearts of potential buyers. Styling a house for sale is essential and we cannot recommend more highly Sarah's expertise in this area.”

“Advantage Property Styling did a magnificent job creating a light and airy space in my 1930s apartment. I especially liked the way the stylist blended my own furniture and accessories with their stock. The apartment looked stunning yet not too staged – I am convinced the beautiful styling contributed to the fierce competition for the apartment. If you are selling your home, I highly recommend Advantage Property Styling. Patricia Hoyle, Darlinghurst.”
