“In our experience Chris Cole-Clark is exceptionally professional in her work as interior designer. She is highly intentional in bringing to reality her client's vision. Her insights, ability to source each 'just right' resource and to skilfully utilise a team of talented tradespeople caused our out-dated home to become chic and inviting. Every detail was lovingly attended to, including fresh cut white roses at the entrance as we entered our newly renovated home for the first time. Chris goes the extra mile with no detail overlooked. Yvonne and Dale Hodges”

“I was amazed that with a few clever changes how MKG transformed my ‘safe’ colour scheme into something that looked plush and elegant. These minor changes made such a difference to the overall presentation and sales appeal of my house on the market at the time.”

“I have worked with Deborah for many years for my home and business premises. Deborah is efficient, to the point and gets both colour and design right every time. I can highly recommend Solutions Living in Harmony for small/large or home and commercial projects.”

“Alisha from Matilda Rose Interiors is amazing! After 10 years of living with mixed matched furniture, horrible feature walls and a tired dis-functional kitchen it was time for a makeover. With two children under 2, sleep deprived and to be honest no idea of how to put a room together I made the decision to engage an interior designer. It has proven to be the best decision thanks to Matilda Rose Interiors. We now have an amazing magazine worthy kitchen, a gorgeous formal lounge and meals room, a pool room for Dad's things, and a colourful and fun kids lounge room. "The Process" was very professional. From the initial consultation and walk through of my home I felt listened to but not only understood. Alisha was able to nail my style straight away. Every mood board has been spot on. And equally important Alisha has always been mindful of the overall budget. When sourcing pieces would always present me with several options at different prices and offer alternate suggestions where necessary. I have no hesitation in recommending Matilda Rose Interiors. I am very happy with their service, Alisha has created beautiful rooms for my family that has far exceeded my skills and expectations. I just look forward to redoing my bedroom and bathrooms.”

“I have no hesitation in recommending THQ for their professionalism and highly organised nature. Lara and her design team are very approachable and capable of designing for different tastes and budgets. I have used THQ for two projects, one higher end and one with a lower budget, and both projects were completed exactly as per my briefs. I have worked with Jessica extensively, and Katrina secondly, and would recommend these designers highly. The rest of Lara’s team are also knowledgeable on all projects and are happy to assist. The showroom is always changing and is a delight to visit. There’s so much to see and a lot of inspiration.”

“Jo recently styled my home prior to selling. I didnt want rooms that looked like hotel rooms. Jo blended a contemporary look into our period home and the result was stunning. I believe we achieved a great result as a direct result of Jo's beautiful styling. Jo was prompt, professional and well priced compared to the ither quotes I got. I would highly recommend her styling services to anyone wanting to sell or update their home.”

“I first hired Joanne at Billyhoo to help me plan how to use the space in my lounge dining kitchen areas for a full renovation of my townhouse. She listened to all my ideas and concerns and came up with an excellent plan, the design theme and the colour scheme. I was so relieved to find someone who listened and was respectful of my ideas. She then developed a kitchen plan - see the photo. I love my new kitchen. It has transformed my living space. Joanne is now helping me plan a new bathroom and laundry sympathetic to the kitchen. What I appreciate most is her ability to draw out my ideas and put them into a concrete design, that I can contact her with issues along the way and that she came with me to choose some products eg the beautiful tiles in my kitchen splashback. My friends are so impressed with my renovations and how she helped me use the limited space in a townhouse. Thanks.”

“We engaged the services of Saige Designs prior to the sale of my home in the hope of maximising the selling price. We were selling our first family home that we had poured plenty of love, blood, sweat & tears into so there was an emotional side to the sale. Sheree came in and provided us with a detailed plan to stage & style the home to improve it aesthetically in order to increase the sale-ability of the home. Our home sold for above our expectations and within a week of going onto the market. We can't thanks Sheree enough.”

“We had the pleasure of using carolinerosedesign for a full refurbishment of our rental property in Beaconsfield, Sydney. Our terrace had been rented for 6 years by one family and was in need of significant help to bring it up to standard. Caroline engaged enthusiastically with us from the first appraisal and quote for work, then project managed the entire renovation. Caroline's guidance regarding product choices, in particular colour schemes, kitchen and bathroom hardware, carpets and window furnishings was a great help to us, taking the away the pain of sifting through hundreds of possibilities and making the process so much more efficient and enjoyable. She managed all the tradespeople and kept them to time and budget. Our job included repainting, carpeting and refurbishment of 3 bedrooms, lounge and kitchen/dining. She organised new landscaping for the outdoors. Over and above her efficient and practical help, the end result was simply amazing. We wanted to move back! Thank you Caroline for your hard work and excellent result, we would recommend you every time.”

“It is always a pleasure to work with Jan. We are continuously impressed with her innovative and timeless designs and we feel we have created some brilliant spaces together. Thanks for your work thus far!”
