Arete Culture

I can't begin to express how happy we are with Arete Culture. They were professional, always asking questions to ensure they could deliver exactly what we wanted. I completely trusted them during the entire process. And they did not disappoint! We absolutely love how they made our little home so warm and beautiful! Even our kids, who love to be holed up in their rooms, are now always in the living spaces, because according to them, it is now so "aesthetic". The best part is, we have a beautiful home without any stress that comes with trying to decorate a home, thanks to Arete!

We had a great experience with Arete. Fizza and Carol were very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process, and made sure we were happy and comfortable with every element. They have a good selection of their own products, but also proposed from a wide range of other sources, as well as being careful in reusing things we already had. They have an excellent eye for how to combine and provide a whole new look. We were very happy with the end result. Thank you!

WOW. Having had a somewhat bitter experience with another (highly- advertised) interior/styling firm, I admittedly had some reservations and tried not to get my hopes up too high even upon engaging Arete Culture. My fears were undoubtedly unfounded. Caroline with her obvious passion for interior styling and design, and Jeannette with her unassuming confidence ("yes but with xxx it will look fabulous"), they transformed our MBR and suite into what my husband and I could only have imagined. They took into consideration our style preference and need for some practicality in view of a boisterous toddler and dog, and with their immense talent, turned our MBR into what we literally look forward to coming home to daily. Even my husband who is never a fan of knick-knacks such as cushions, felt compelled to keep them in the end because in his own words "they looked too good". Thank you once again Caroline, Jeannette and Arete Culture. Here's to more projects soon! :)

I can not recommend Arete Culture enough. For someone who works full time and travels a lot I found the service incredibly professional and easy to work with. Patria who looked after me had a brilliant understanding very quickly of what I liked and didn't like and made the most of my existing furniture and then added a number of pieces to make our house into a beautiful home. The majority of decisions I did online or via email with Arete, which was great for me. We love everything about our new home and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a bit of help making their home flow better or made more beautiful. I also appreciated how they worked within my budget.

Caroline & Patria did an amazing job for our interiors! It's a pleasure to be able to enjoy the gorgeous ambience the Arete team created for our home.

Carol, Nirvi and the entire Arete Culture team did an AMAZING job designing our new home! They repurposed our existing furniture in spaces and ways we never would have thought of. They also recommended new exquisite pieces that made our house a home. We highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again on our next project! Thank you Carol, Nirvi and Arete Culture team!!!

Great design flair , aesthetics , beautifully curated pieces, classic and timeless look, client centricity ... and I could I list many more to describe the Arete Culture experience. The one thing that was an absolute standout was our designer Cherry ... A great person , with immense enthusiasm and so focussed on making the whole experience memorable. Cherry is a testimony of ‘customer first’ philosophy and ensured that the design principles was developed around our requirements . The end result is beautiful and classy ...Thank You Cherry and Arete Culture ....

Great job. Helped us navigate through a change in our style with pleasing results. Colours and textures were well combined and balanced.

Working with Cherry has been a breeze in this makeover journey. Cherry is patient and works according to what we desire for the home transformation. Never once do we feel pressured to accept what she has suggested. The actual day of makeover has been an amazing experience for me!

We engaged Jeanette and Carol to help us with a makeover for our rented property. For the longest time I’ve been putting off doing up our home due to our crazy work schedules and with the birth of our child. This dynamic duo came to our rescue! We absolutely love the result (with more to come!) and finally it really feels like home. Beautiful yet practical (with an active toddler running around!). They came up with ideas to maximise our space in a practical and pragmatic way. Always available to answer queries (even at crazy hours, sorry!) and work together with us listening to our concerns and ideas. Thank you so much again ladies!

I liked very much the speed of the service and professionalism. The entire project was completed in less than one week.

We first worked with Carol in 2016 when we moved into our new apartment after reading about Arete Culture all over town. We were thrilled with the results that transformed our plain space and large outdoor balcony into a beautiful, multi-purpose "great room" that is stylish, exotic, yet comfortable and perfectly suited to the needs of our young family. Two years later, we found ourselves craving a decorative refresh and another dose of Carol's magic - this time expanding her remit to include bedrooms that hadn't been part of the first styling makeover. Again, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with Carol who has a real knack for combining your existing furniture and decorative items with carefully selected new pieces to breathe new life into a space while keeping the aesthetic distinctly 'you' - but a much more tasteful version of you! In particular, we appreciate how thoughtful she is in how she uses your budget - always finding creative ways to infuse inexpensive products with pricier, special pieces in ways you'd never think of yourself. Our 5 year old daughter was squealing with delight when her transformed bedroom was revealed, while all of us were marvelling at the drastic makeover that appeared before our eyes. Last but not least, Carol is so fun to work with which makes the makeover day a joy. We can't wait until the next time! Thank you Carol and Arete Culture team!
