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

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

Jodie undertook interior design for our house renovation and project managed the details for us with the builders. It was a seamless service with Jodie always delivering on what she promised and with a fantastic eye for every detail. She delivered beyond our expectations.

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 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.

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

She is an exceptional designer with so much creativity and brilliance. Jodie also has an ability to create, design and transform any project we work on together and always exceeds my expectations.

She treats and creates all her projects with high standard and in a detailed and professional process. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Jodie for any project. 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.

Jodie has done a beautiful job for our living room. She is very talented and professional. She understood what we were trying to achieve and met the brief. We would highly recommend Jodie and her team.

Jodie is an excellent interior designer with a lot of experience and it is a pleasure to work with her.

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.

Thankyou Jodie for creating my wonderful family home. read less

We have a old period home with a modern extension toward the back of the home. My goal was to combine the old with the new bringing about flow and consistency throughout the home. Jodie got it from the start with a professional attitude and willingness to listen to what I wanted. After our first meeting I knew that Jodie was passionate about her craft, very professional and that I would be able to work with her. Her calm approach and gently persuasion opens your mind to a whole new world of colour and style. The mood boards were the start putting it all together towards the bigger picture. Jodie and I worked together for about one year and I very much enjoyed the experience, she is good fun and works diligently to meet deadlines. In the end the goal was achieved, with a combination of classic elegance creating a warm and welcoming home to be admired and enjoyed by our family and friends. 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

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
