It was an absolute privilege to collaborate with Jodie Carter. She is extremely professional and has a great eye for detail. We were highly impressed by her ability to combine luxury fabrics and classic furniture pieces for her clients, and we would definitely work with her again.

Jodie was great to work with and had a really good ability to get me looking at my home with new eyes and giving me inspiration when shopping for online items. She always responded promptly to my various queries as the job proceeded. I particularly wanted to create a gallery wall for personal photos and memorabilia in the lounge area and Jodie's assistance and advice was just what was needed. I am delighted with the results for the whole project.

Jodie's ideas for my "Batchelor Pad" were fantastic and, above all worked. Jodie was also happy to work with ideas that I had and incorporate them seamlessly into the overall concept.

I am really happy with the end result and would recommend Jodie without hesitation.

Jodie was recommended to us by a close friend and she far exceeded all our expectations.

Jodie is an absolute delight to deal with - her high level of professionalism is reflected in all areas. She is very easy & pleasant to communicate with. For over one year, we were in constant (pretty much daily) communication with Jodie in the planning stage. No details were left uncovered and the result is a near 100 page fully detailed plan. These were completed within our planned time period.

Jodie helped us realized our dream home by actively matching & improvising our needs & desires from the way we live in the old home to a new sophisticated stylish modern living. Many designers design “their” house. Jodie designed “our” house - the way “we” live while maintaining design principles and theme throughout. A remarkable feat indeed.

Our project started on 9 July 2018 and finished on 26 Oct 2018 when we were handed the keys back for our house - one week of delay due to the torrential rain around mid-Oct. Jodie worked well & closely with our builder and our home was completed pretty much on time with a high level of quality. The high standard is maintained throughout and quality service has continued even on post completion where the usual minor adjustments/details are required.

We highly recommend Jodie to anyone contemplating renovation - big or small. Thank you Jodie. In the end, not only did we gain a new home but a valuable friend.

Enter Jodie. With a modest budget she was able to transform our house into a home we love. She followed our brief to a tee while introducing us to new ideas that we thoroughly embraced. She refurbished the main living and dining areas as well as providing advice on paint colours, decor, and furniture in other areas of our house to create a cohesive look in the classic Hamptons style that we love. Jodie was always reliable, promptly responded to our endless queries and was able to deal with any issues that arose with no fuss.

What a positive experience this was. She achieved everything we had asked for and more. She is an amazing communicator and also totally “gets” what your dream might be even if you can’t totally imagine it yourself!

We started with a project that involved creating an extra bedroom in an existing space and we had also asked for complete new furnishings for this home we had just purchased. We ended up expanding the project a bit and a bit more and what a great result we have.

Jodie’s vision for our home combined with her understanding of how we live resulted in a home that exceeded all expectations. She project managed at my request and sourced the builder and cabinetmaker for us. They all worked so well together resulting in the project being completed on time (actually 2 weeks ahead of schedule). There was always open communication between all of us and Jodie organised regular site meeting. It was seamless and drama free.

We went shopping with Jodie to choose furniture and she was always mindful of cost and practicality for us. Furniture was ordered and delivered on time and she had the house ready for us to move into including the linen on beds (beds made), artwork on walls, and decorations in place.

Jodie is a pleasure and delight to work with and I cannot wait to continue to work with her in the future for a new kitchen and outdoor design. I would also absolutely work with the builders and trades she recommends.

Thank you Jodie for creating my wonderful family home. read less

The key objective was to utilise the small spaces I had in the most effecient way. The response to my brief was 5 star. Jodie provided design layout options to review and discuss, along with recommendations of furniture and design pieces. We focused on a front sun room, living/ dining and back play room. Jodie always went above and beyond to ensure we found the right pieces to finish each room as per her vision. Jodie is highly professional and a real joy to work with. I used Jodie again to do my daughters bedroom and the master bedroom after we completed the first round. I would highly recommend her to any one who is after a high quality and completely down to earth interior designer. read less

Based on Jodie’s website and the reviews that she received, I decided to contact Jodie. I was quite nervous as I had never used an Interior designer before and wondered if this was going to be a waste of time and money in our already tight budget. Fortunately, I had nothing to fear. Jodie put me at ease, was punctual and efficient with the time that we had. She was able to get my thoughts onto paper and with her additional suggestions we now had a design for the wall cupboard that not only looked great but saved us money. I would definitely use her again read less

I had contacted a number of designers from Houzz as well as from friends' recommendations. I spent a lot of time interviewing them and hearing their suggestions. Eventually, I had chosen Jodie. The project took about 10 months from design to completion with a budget about A$250k. As I am overseas in Hong Kong, I have to rely on Jodie to do all the minor details of everything for me. Apart from controlling the budget, I have given her almost a free hand from design to completion. When I saw the decorated apartment, it was exactly how I envisioned and better. We had a lot of communications at all stages of the project, which I think is a very important factor of success in this project. I would recommend Jodie to all her prospective clients as I am so fortunate to have her in designing, supervising and selecting accessories for the apartment. read less

Then you walk into the next home and it's fantastic too, but styled completely differently. You love the look of each place and start jotting down ideas from each.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a truckload of fantastic furniture has been walked into these houses and randomly scattered throughout the house. Each house has been individually styled by a professional and the styling starts all the way from the paintwork and tiles through to furnishings, light fittings, artwork and those ornaments that your kids love picking up in the bowls on the coffee table.

The trick is making it all work and this is why we used Jodie. You need someone to bring it all together otherwise all those ideas in your head are going to make your house look like a Pro Hart exhibition.

We are building a new house so really wanted to get it right and that means getting the foundations right, as those materials you use as your base are going to be there for a long time!

Jodie did exactly what we thought was impossible...Bring our random ideas of a modern/contemporary look including raw concrete and timber and made it work in such a way that as soon as we saw the options before us, my wife and I were both drawn to the same option in an instant both wearing a huge smile.

We are looking forward to posting photos once the house is complete, and will continue to work with Jodie to get the interior furnished which is going to be very exciting. read less

Initially assisting with selections and design at the architectural planning stage of a modern Hamptons inspired new build. She worked with us on everything from design layouts, bathroom selections, kitchen cabinetry, floor coverings and paint colours.

Then secondly she assisted us in selecting and installing a whole new house with coastal/ hamptons inspired furniture and decor. She was able to balance our love of hamptons within a modern house. Jodie is personable and thorough and is happy to try and try again to make sure she finds something you really like.

I knew I wanted to put my own mark on the property but not having any contacts in the area, I asked around. Jodie's name was quickly mentioned several times - so I gave her a call to start the ball rolling.

I was instantly impressed by Jodies warm approach, as she took the time to understand me, my likes and dislikes and ideas I had in mind for the property. Jodie came up with some beautiful designs & styling which quickly elevated the final results.

From a business perspective I was very impressed at how responsive she was, answering all emails and calls very promptly. Once we narrowed down the choices, the top 2 or 3 were then summarised into a spreadsheet, which meant I knew every detail about the selections at a glance. Colour, dimensions, cost and delivery dates were all clearly outlined making it very easy to keep track everything. Brilliant for our busy lifestyles. Furthermore, I was impressed by her generous business model of passing on trade prices for all the furniture, artwork, rugs and decorator items you purchase as part of the project. Double bonus ! as this helps to stick to your budget easily.

So far we've completed stage 1 of our project and I have no hesitation in hiring Jodie and her team again to move forward with stage 2. read less
