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.

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. Thank you Jodie for everything you have done to give us a house we love and are proud of! 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.

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.

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

Jodie fully furnished our 5 bedroom two level home. Her creativity and eye for beauty created a home which we are proud of. She was at all times professional and put me at ease with her extensive knowledge of interior decorating.

Whether you have definite ideas on design or need complete guidance, Jodie will be as involved as needed. She works within specified budgets and still achieves a quality finish.
Jodie will make sure your home flows with a theme and colour palette that still suits you and the way you and your family live.
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

Being based overseas, it was essential that this designer had a proven ability to deliver a start to finish solution for what ultimately was a quite new / modern apartment.

With a considerable lead time and having trolled through many a website, we engaged Jodie and her team and could not be any happier with what she has produced for us. What was initially a limited brief ended up seeing us give Jodie a lot of creative breadth to which she transformed an empty apartment into a modern home that comprised integrated and stylish cabinetry, furnishings, media, accessories and other.

Jodie truly delivered on her commitment to provide an end to end solution. From the initial design and concepts through to sourcing contractor and supplier quotes, project management and sourcing all of the furnishings, Jodie provided regular updates and photos throughout the various phases of the project which provided us with a great level of comfort. She even sorted out the Telco and made the beds for us much to the delight of 2 tired young children.

Very much the professional and a delight to work with, we would have no hesitation in recommending Jodie and her team. read less

In a small amount of time we selected furniture pieces, discussed ways to complete the look with styling and made plans for further work to be done.

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

We provide a professional service working with children with speech, language, learning and developmental difficulties. It was important that our working space provided a calm, friendly and functional space where staff and clients could feel at ease.
Jodie was very attuned to our needs. She created a design that was modern, relaxing and most importantly functional.
In all my dealings with Jodie, I found her to be reliable, honest and very upfront about her charges. She encouraged us to become involved in project management to minimise costs. She ordered all our furniture and fittings and was able to negotiate competitive prices through suppliers she regularly dealt with.
We are thrilled with the final result and have received outstanding feedback from staff and clients about our beautiful work environment.

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

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

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.

Having downsized to a duplex we wanted a new look for our living areas plus ideas on how to get the most functional use out of some smaller spaces.

Jodie took the time to get to know our likes and dislikes and to answer our many questions. Working within a modest budget she offered creative solutions and alternatives to achieve a great look with a practical design. I have learnt so much working with Jodie, and couldn’t be happier with the end result. It was also a pleasure working with Jodie’s professional team of trade partners.

Jodie’s work has added value to our home as well as to our enjoyment in living in a beautiful space. If you want a home that reflects your personality plus works well for your daily living, Jodie will create this for you. We still have more to do and I look forward to continuing to work with Jodie in the future. read less
