I can highly recommend CarMel Interior Design. Their considered approach and attention to detail makes it a pleasure to deal with. The whole experience with Carmel was seamless and look forward to calling you again on our next project.

Alan Tusa


We needed to replace some curtains and found that Carmel is very experienced, good to deal with and has a wide knowledge of the latest products. Excellent friendly advice and professional service.

I’ve had the pleasure of working exclusively with CarMel since 2005, entrusting her with the interior design of my heritage home — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. She is not only a gifted artist with an exceptional eye for detail and harmony, but also a truly good human being whose warmth and integrity shine through in everything she does. Her professionalism is second to none. She listens deeply, understands the unique character of the home and its history, and brings it to life with sensitivity, creativity, and elegance. Every project we’ve undertaken together has been seamless, thoughtful, and executed with the highest standards of care and quality. What sets her apart is not just her design talent, but her ability to make the entire process feel personal, meaningful, and even joyful. My home continues to reflect her artistry and my own evolving story — and for that, I’m deeply grateful. Highly recommended.

Nina Kiriakidis


Building a new home was daunting and wanted help with colours and a friend suggested we contact CarMel. We were so delighted with her advice that we also ordered our blinds and curtains with her. The finished result was a house that looked classy. We engaged CarMel again 15 years later to organise renovations and used her builder and suppliers. Again, absolutely delighted with the result. We specifically select CarMel Interior Design for our project because of Carmel’s knowledge and professionalism. We trusted her and last year’s renovation particularly was as stress less as is possible. CarMel's creativity and ideas on materials and importantly connections with the trades and suppliers were a critical contribute to the outcome. I know CarMel was successful with the outcome, when friends walk into our foyer and go “wow”.

Denise & Paul Van Gaal


We have worked with Carmel on three projects now and found her to be professional and fun. She has an instant grasp of needs and her instinct for colour combinations is one of her very strong points. Her experience and knowledge of the interior design business shines through. She continues to explore the latest ideas, which inspires confidence. We would always highly recommend CarMel Interior Design.

Lilian & John Wasik

She is genuinely interested in her clients. CarMel has provided us with excellent service, support and advice – second to none.  She goes beyond in consistently achieving great results and exceeding expectations. Her professionalism and expertise continues to be a major factor in her success. We are impressed by her knowledge, accessibility and attention to detail.

Reg & Margaret Mawhinney


CarMel has a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise which made me feel very confident in my interior design choices for my home renovation. I found her to be extremely helpful and friendly and would recommend her service to anyone in need of an interior designer.

Michelle Gurudoss


We have used Carmel’s expertise to assist us in two homes now and can’t speak highly enough of her friendly, professional, and individual design and decorating help. Carmel helped us decorate our home in our style and to suit our taste by sourcing exactly what we had been looking for but were unable to properly describe let alone find. Our home is how we want it …practical and beautiful thanks to Carmel. She helped us with it all from paint colours to furniture.

Robyn and Steve Raymond


We were over the moon with the job Carmel did for us. She has a fantastic eye for detail and incorporated our likes and personalities to design features that look fantastic and are practical for our lifestyle.

Hannah


Carmel of Carmel Interior Design was the perfect choice for my interior design. The ideas flowed and the design began with professionalism and perfection. Resulting in a fabulous outcome.
