Grace Interior Designs

Trish is a cordial, gracious and well qualified interior designer. She understood our aesthetic sensibility before proceeding on our home renovation and made countless indispensable design decisions to cohere with the style and age of the house. Her specifications document is user friendly for the both the builder and client with links to products and space to insert opinions. She always answered my phone calls and emails promptly, for which I was immensely grateful. Additionally, Trish charges a reasonable rate and generously shares trade discounts. I also recommend her builder, Brad Smit of Crafted Constructions.
Trish and Brad conducted a beneficial final walk-through and we all assumed I had understood everything but, being me, I hadn’t. Thus, I recommend that future lay clients, who are rookies like me, consider paying for an extra two hours for a longer and more comprehensive walk-though to ensure that you fully understand the dimensions prior to the contracts being drawn up. Trish and Brad charge reasonable rates, and this request could save you from having to pore over so many dimension documents embedded in the contracts later. Moreover, it would be disadvantageous and time-consuming for all involved to ask for changes after receiving the final dimensions in the contracts, though you can do so. All told, we wholeheartedly recommend Trish. We absolutely love our updated and repaired house and will always be grateful for the essential role she played in such a big project. The ceiling-high cabinetry in the kitchen is gorgeous. The floors and countless fixtures are lovely and the backsplash that Trish chose is unique and beautiful. She produced a gorgeous laundry and two stunning bathrooms and properly advised on all spaces. Every cent spent on her expertise was worth it. Thank you Trish.

I worked with Trish to re-design and decorate our 1BR apartment in South Yarra to convert into a short term rental for Airbnb purposes. Trish was professional, really took the time to understand our brief and our vision for the apartment, she was thoughtful with her suggestions based on the design brief and showed great attention to detail. I was incredibly happy with the end result! I would highly recommend her services.

I very much enjoyed working with Trish from Grace Interior Designs. Her process to understand the client, to determine options for consideration, was constructive and fun. Trish really threw herself into understanding my needs. She allowed me to express my preferences without judgment. I was encouraged to be authentic. I was presented with options and felt comfortable saying "yes" or "no". When I was stuck, Trish allowed me time to consider and make a decision. I very much felt a part of the process and that we were a team working towards a shared goal. I have no hesitation in recommending Grace Interior Designs.

Trish provided us with a colour consult, as well additional advice regarding our new home. She was super responsive and engaging throughout. We are stoked with the suggested colour combination we ended up going with - our new place is looking great! Additionally, we are excited to incorporate some of the other suggestions she provided which we would never thought of ourselves.

Trish's services are extremely well priced for the personalised guidance provided - highly recommended and thank you again Trish.

Trish worked with us on our kitchen renovation and some other minor design changes. She spent plenty of time at the outset to understand us as a family so that all the little decisions along the way became very quick and simple.

The final outcome is a beautiful and highly functional kitchen that we could never have produced without her assistance.

Trish was absolutely amazing. I was sceptical when my wife suggested the idea of using an interior designer but it’s one of the best decision we made. The process has challenged and enriched us. Trish helped us understand our varied tastes and find beautiful ideas that fused our seemingly very different ideas. Like the name of her business, Grace Interior Designs, we feel like there’s a lot of grace in the special touches Trish has given our spaces.

Our home now has spaces we truly enjoy - without feeling bored despite becoming familiar with the new designs. It feels like an extension of us and we owe this to Trish.

Thank you Trish and we look forward to our next project together!

I would highly recommend Grace Interior Designs. Trish was a pleasure to work with - patient, flexible, reassuring, and went to great lengths to be sure she understood our style. We are really happy with the result, and working with Trish meant we were able to furnish our new home while going in and out of lockdowns. Thanks!
