what they say

I believe that working with someone to create beauty in their home is a privilege.

Here's what some of my clients had to say once the last cushion was in place.

The Camerons' Project

The Camerons' home needed to be upgraded to today's standards, while keeping true to the architectural style of the building. This included new fully tiled bathrooms and kitchen and complete re-decoration including timber flooring, carpet, walls and window treatments. The total scheme needed to facilitate the display of the family's art collection, while not being too precious to enjoy. Above all, the Camerons wanted the house to be a comfortable entertaining space for friends and family.

Rhonda was extremely empathetic to our aims concerning our redecoration. We were mindful of the original architectural design but wanted to maintain the original ideas behind the house but bring it into the 21st century in our approach and make it more 'us'. This was quite a brief!

We wanted to completely redecorate and our main problem was knowing how to go about it - what came first, second etcetera, as we were living in the house as it was worked on. Rhonda was very calm and reassuring, supporting us all the way with her recommendations about tradespeople and helping us to deal with them.

Rhonda really listened to our ideas. When we wanted other alternatives from her original brief she was very supportive about the ultimate choices we made... and equally delighted in the final result.

Rhonda is talented, caring and warmly supportive. She is also extremely professional and discreet in her business dealings with her clients.

Montgomery Stocker Project

A wonderful old family home, having been transported to its new country site, had been extensively repaired and restored and was awaiting the final touches in its transformation into the Stocker family home. Flooring, window treatments, soft furnishings and accessories to blend with existing furniture and possessions were required to bring together the family's vision of a casual, yet stylish, country home for the family to enjoy - and where they could create another generation of memories.

We couldn't be happier with the passion and commitment that Rhonda showed, as she helped us with our house decoration. I have now experienced four different interior decorators, and believe Rhonda to be pick of the bunch. In particular, we found Rhonda to be:

Perceptive: I was amazed how quickly Rhonda was able to get a handle on what I was after. She was able to quickly understand and consider the big picture, in regards to budget, our personal likes/dislikes, long-term result and effect on the family. She's an holistic interior decorator!

Honest: I really valued that Rhonda didn't impose her own preferences, yet was able to be direct with her thoughts. I know that the males in the house are very appreciative of this, as thanks to Rhonda's approach, they do not have to have their meals alongside floral curtains!

Professional: Rhonda always followed things up promptly with real attention to detail.

Creative: Rhonda showed real vision to pull everything together, and I absolutely love the cushions she designed and made!

Willing: Rhonda's really enthusiastic, and nothing ever seemed too difficult.

The Rural Home Project

The living spaces in the clients' newly built home required some enhancement to pull together newly purchased furniture with some older pieces. Completion of window treatments and the addition of rugs, lamps, soft and hard furniture - along with the addition of accessories - injected heart into the spaces. The re-framing and hanging of cherished art and needlework made it home.

We found Rhonda Ingle to be entirely professional, yet warm, friendly and considerate at all times.

Rhonda certainly went the 'extra mile' to produce items and concepts which fitted very well with our style.

She was very approachable, listened carefully and respected our ideas while making her own helpful suggestions.

We were particularly pleased that she was able to conceptualise our concerns and combine her expertise with our existing decor in a way which brought everything together.
