Fiona’s passion and commitment to her craft has produced a truly inspired body of work.
“Fiona is approachable, professional and always has a smile which greatly helped us choose her as our Interior Designer for our home renovation. She designed our amazing open living, dining and kitchen areas, as well as a family bathroom and master ensuite. We loved her meticulous eye for detail, unique design ideas and thoughtful planning approach. Fiona was considerate to our budget constraints and was a brilliant listener. I would have no hesitation in recommending her for any design project. ”
“We had the pleasure to work with Fiona. She helped us to plan incredibly functional spaces. She was supportive, fair and prompt and we valued her expertise and design ideas. We feel very lucky to have had her input and we love our end product! We are still thoroughly enjoying our house!”
“Fiona has designed two kitchens for us. She worked collaboratively with us to incorporate our ideas. She has excellent design, time management and site management skills which helped us to have two unique, beautiful and very functional kitchens.”
“We’ve been working with Fiona for several months now on a project that includes new kitchen, bathrooms and furnishings. Fiona has been great in providing ideas, guidance and keeping the vision strong while educating us on modern trends, appliances, furniture styles and colors. She is able to isolate design fads to create a long lasting style. Fiona is down to earth, a great communicator and patient. She was able to work around our incredibly busy schedules and keep us moving.
Fiona produced finishing and fittings schedules as well as detailed drawings, including 3D views. We are ready to renovate!
Thank you Fiona for all your hard work and putting up with our indecisiveness!”
“I would like to thank Fiona for helping me through the design process for our master bedroom extension (including WIR and ensuite). Until I contacted Fiona I was lost as to how it was going to come together. From my initial contact with her she maintained a clear and thorough step by step process to take our drafting plans to a next level design. Her communication was always prompt and responsive. Her ideas added clarity, colour and a contemporary feel to the extension. I feel we have now created a timeless space to blend with our existing home. Fiona is a delight to work with. She is thoroughly professional. Her creative ideas have helped us to create additional value to our existing home. She patiently worked with me (building surveyors, vendors and our draftsperson) to our final building permit stage. I am very grateful for her artistic knowledge and professional persistence. Highly recommended.”

"We were exceptionally happy with the work Fiona did redesigning an entirely new kitchen, living area buffet and TV wall cabinetry for our home. We are so pleased with the renovation and feel that her design decisions were a well-balanced combination of functional and aesthetically pleasing. Fiona was always quick to communicate and very approachable and receptive to any concerns or queries we had throughout the project. We particularly appreciated that she was very generous with her time and willing to stay in touch with us and continue to assist us over a prolonged duration, due to some delays in going ahead with our project. We highly recommend Fiona for any interior design project you may be considering.”
