The design had to include a kitchen island and walk in pantry and allow flow to the external area. The design from Jodie, will allow the area to be well utilised and allow space for a family of 5 to all be in the same location. The space has been well used to allow a large island, plenty of bench space & additional storage which the house was lacking. Overall the recommended finishes and design will have the "wow" factor. read less

We've worked with Jodie twice now, once on a 4 bdrm Penthouse apartment, built from scratch, which was ultra modern, styled to New York Penthouse, and most recently, a complete renovation of the interiors of a 2 storey, 4bdrm + study Federation home, styled to Hollywood Regency.
Both times Jodie led the design direction, but was open to our input, as after all, we were to be living in these homes.
We couldn't have been happier with the outcome of both projects and highly recommend Jodie to anyone considering using an Interior Designer. read less

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.

Whilst we knew what we liked and didn’t like, we found it hard to pull it all together. Jodie with her talent and flair for design was able to understand our style, work within our budget and include a number of our special pieces that we wished to keep. It is very exciting to see our home coming together with the items that Jodie has chosen. We can’t wait to see the finished product. Jodie and her team have done a great job and we very much look forward to working with them again. read less

It was clear that Jodie forms real relationships with her clients and gets to know them well, completing each job to suit them perfectly. The finishing touches of her work speak for themselves as she thinks of every detail and everything ties in perfectly with each other. Her work is elegant and she uses carefully chosen pops of colour to enhance her work. I highly recommend Jodie! read less

With a tight budget, was able to provide solutions to meet budget, with alternatives to add onto over time to help complete the project. Jodie is calm and easy to get along with, not pushy, and accepted input from myself to work around. Some bold patterns and suggestions I would not have considered until seen together that worked well from room to room. She was able to follow up and email me updates for goods ordered by herself for the project and give me estimated times of delivery, with easy delivery options. From her suggestions I was also able to order online myself or pick up goods from stores to save costs. read less

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.

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.

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

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 an idea of what I wanted to achieve and absolutely no idea how to achieve it...in comes Jodie Carter Design. Jodie breathed life into our house and turned it into our beautiful family home. We were so worried that someone would come in and stamp it with their own vision but Jodie included everyone in the whole process, from start to finish. She even got my husband to come along to the shopping trips! My girls love their rooms and our bedroom is a jewel! The living areas are homely and practical and everyone that visits has fallen in love with our modern retro makeover! Do yourself a favour and give Jodie a call! We had so much fun! 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

Awesome job Jodie.

After 18 years and 2 kids our house was looking a bit worn out and dated, but since Jodie became involved it has been refreshed, revitalised and modernised. She is a pleasure to work with, listens to your needs and wants, and works with your budget. She pushes you out of your comfort zone if required which is a good thing! I wish I had known years ago of the advantages of using an interior designer; they have access to furniture that is not normally available to the public and hence with a more unique look/vibe than what is available in stores open to the public. I also believe purchasing with or through her made significant cost savings due to the discounts she can get as a designer. I highly recommend her and am in fact looking forward to the next project we will tackle with her! Can't recommend her highly enough. 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

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.
