Tamara was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us design our 1920s home and did such a great job bringing both my mom’s and my ideas together — which wasn’t easy, since we’re from completely different generations (40 yrs age gap). She really took the time to listen to both of us and made sure we felt heard throughout the whole process. Tamara was also super thoughtful with communication. She explained everything clearly and patiently, so we know what to expect from each stage. On top of that, she’s incredibly hardworking — always quick to reply to emails or messages, even outside of hours. One of the best surprises was the industry discount she offered us — we ended up saving a lot of money which was already covered her expenses . We’re so happy with how everything turned out and so thankful for all the care and effort Tamara put into making our home feel perfect.

We recently engaged Jane to provide interior and exterior design services for our house. This includes designing kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms, choosing all fittings and furniture throughout the house (inside and outside). Jane is wonderful to deal with. Very responsive, professional and flexible. We are delighted with the results and would highly recommend Jane.

Tonia has been amazing from the start. She immediately understood our style, accommodated with our tastes/preferences and came up with a design that has brought everything together! Highly recommend her, she is responsive, takes a lot of the guess work in decision fatigue and really has enhanced the look of our home. Has been a fun experience too!

This was the first time we engaged an interior designer and so we weren't quite sure what to expect and did speak to quite a few initially. Tonia was really easy to deal with and quick to respond from the very beginning and also patient with us while we waited for our new place to by ready. She took her time to understand what we wanted and then put together a plan that followed the brief really well. She was also flexible in doing multiple iterations at times to make sure we ended up with something we really loved. We love the end result and she also saved us a good amount of money but getting us access to better prices on things. I would happily recommend her services to anyone.

Jenny was great to work with and took the time to get to know me a little and my style likes and dislikes to narrow down selections and put together an amazing mood board. She happily answered my many questions about her fee and made me feel comfortable about the process.

My partner and I had wanted to spruce up our unit for years, but kept putting it off due to our busy lives and being daunted by the task. Unsure where to start, we contacted Marisa. From the moment of our first consultation, Marisa swiftly helped realise our design ideas, and inspired us with fitting ideas and designs of her own. She was always prompt, transparent and clear in her communication, and kept the project running along smoothly, while keeping us under our budget. Marisa was able to bring design knowledge and connect us with excellent tradespeople to realise the beautiful home we now live in. I have no hesitation recommending her for any design project.

We hired Lifestyle Design and Co in early September 2024 with a firm deadline to have everything completed by November 2024. This was especially important to us, as we were expecting family from overseas to stay with us and wanted them to enjoy their visit in a comfortable, well-presented home—and they delivered the project beautifully. From the outset, Larissa and Kate offered great guidance on what would and wouldn’t work for our space and introduced us to some fantastic brands we had never heard of, which we’ll continue using long after this project. They were responsive, attentive, and always professional. When small issues arose, they handled them quickly. They also made a real effort to keep within our budget without sacrificing quality or design, which we truly appreciated. A particular highlight was the quality of the tradespeople they brought in—skilled, reliable, and respectful. Honestly, some developers could take notes. Thanks to their work, our house now truly feels like a home. It's warm, inviting, and a pleasure to come back to every day. We’re so glad we chose Lifestyle Design and Co and would recommend them without hesitation.

FAQs

An interior designer in Sydney typically holds formal qualifications in design and can advise on structural changes, space planning and building regulations. An interior decorator, on the other hand, focuses on the aesthetic side of a space, selecting furniture, fabrics, colours and accessories. If your Sydney project involves layout changes or renovations, a designer is usually the better choice. For cosmetic updates, a decorator may be all you need.
