Interior Design Client Reviews and Testimonials


WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

“If we could give a million stars, we would. Carmel went well beyond the call of duty in project managing and designing our recent renovation in Hobart. Over almost a full 12 month period working with us interstate, Carmel's attention to detail, design expertise and work ethic shone through daily and we genuinely couldn't have completed the project without her. She has a wealth of experience, strong trade connections and a proactive, driven approach to her craft. I appreciated her gently balancing out my default preference for 'pink' as well!
If you're looking for an Interior Designer/ Project Manager/ Stylist/ Photographer to take the reigns on your
next project, Carmel is your girl!”
Bonnie, Hobart Project

“I so wish we'd met Carmel 3 years ago when we first started our renovation journey. Carmel is an absolute pleasure to deal with; and in the space of an afternoon she took 3 years of our jumbled thoughts and transformed them into a cohesive vision.
I can't wait to see this vision come to life!” -
Ruth, Renovation Project

“Carmel has been absolutely amazing in all aspects of helping renovate my bathroom. Not only did she bring a great eye for design to the project, she has also been indispensable in helping plan and organise the work of the tradies. Carmel is extremely responsive, and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the client is satisfied. I have nothing but praise for her work. I am absolutely glad that I went with her for this project, and look forward to working with her on others to come!”
Johnathan, Kingston Renovation Project

“I was a little nervous getting an Interior Designer to help me but as I was struggling to decide what I wanted to do to re-fresh my house I decided to give Carmel a go. I am so glad I did. She was a joy to work with! She ensured she understood the style I liked and had some great suggestions. She made it all so easy, and I am sure I would still be thinking about what to do without her help. Thanks Carmel.”
Jenny, Fern Tree Project

“After a consultation with Carmel, we came out feeling very confident about how the interior of our new house will look. She is very knowledgeable, listens and understands exactly the colours and looks you're after and provides great input. Highly recommend”
Meg - Colour Consultation Client

“Carmel did styling and photography for my business several times now and she's done an incredible job each time. Easy to work with and just has that eye for what works and what looks good. Invaluable. I'll be back again and again. Thanks Carmel”
Kamila - The Good Sheet

“Carmel of The Styling Collective was an absolute dream to work with. She styled and shot two airbnb properties that I have, with such relaxed ease. Her attention to detail is second to none and the finished product is beautiful - an added bonus is Carmel being an absolute pleasure to deal with. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
Sophie - Raffah House

"If you’ve ever renovated your home before, you’ll know how absolutely daunting it feels to get started and how overwhelming it can feel. Carmel took the stress out of choosing everything. She helped us with paint colours, tiles, tap ware – everything! She listed everything clearly in a document for us so we could tick things off easily as we got them. I felt supported throughout the whole process – Carmel even came along to the shops with us so we could bounce ideas around and get her opinion on our choices. Everything tied together so beautifully in the end,
I really can’t recommend Carmel enough!"
Katherine - Colour Consultation Client

"Carmel helped us colour coordinate our new house, helped choose the colour of the roof and the render to all the inside walls and cabinetry as well as going to the extent of taking me tile shopping.
She was awesome and we are extremely happy with the look of our new home....Carmel u r the best!"
Amee - Colour Consultation Client

"Carmel not only has great skill for styling and photography she is also very professional and extremely passionate to deliver the highest quality images to meet the style brief I have given her, first time every time. She is very generous with her time and open to my crazy ideas! The collaborations we have worked on together with other local businesses have maximised exposure for my business and extended my network significantly. I highly recommend The Styling Collective."
Jackie - Au Fait

"Best Decision we ever made! Your advice and support has been second to none and we wouldn't be where we are today without you!"
Georgia - Modern Muse Home

"This is the perfect service for small business owners/ anyone with a clothing, homeware, etc. line. I contacted Carmel regarding the launch of my candle line and I had such a great experience from start to finish. The results could not have been more perfect. Carmel’s attention to detail and eye for colour and style set her apart and she genuinely goes above and beyond to deliver you a unique and beautiful product. She understood the kind of look/feel I was after and worked with me to ensure we got the end result I was after. Carmel is so professional and holds a great range of contacts (she recommended a graphic designer to me that I’ve gone on to use in a range of projects)."
Katherine - Life & Present Company 

"Carmel provides a wonderful styling and photography service. In addition, Carmel is reliable, punctual and interprets client needs well. At Lee & Allan, we couldn't do it without her."
Sonya - Lee & Allan Design

"We just had some Instagram images done for our re-branded website and Carmel and her creative skills gave us what we were looking for and then some. The pictures she's done are amazing. Amazing doesn't seem like a good enough word! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality photos done at a very very good price"
