Santamaria Design

We want to thank Lisa Santamaria and her team for assisting us in making the colour selections for our new home being built. Lisa guided us through the external and internal colours, joinery, internal selections process with confidence. It became evident as we were going through this process that Lisa was able to use her vast experience to assist us in making the difficult colour choices. She ensured she understood what suited our tastes and was able to present new and fresh combinations that allowed us to consider new options. It was a very daunting experience to make all these choices, but having Lisa and her team on board helped make the process easy for us. Lisa displayed her dedication and passion to us by showing us colours and selections that had been proven in the past and gave us a variety of choices before we made final decisions. Although the ultimate decision on selections was made by us, Lisa had equipped us with a vast array of choices and broadened our minds which put us at ease with the overall selections. Working with Lisa was effortless throughout the process and we thank her for her professional, warm and dedicated approach. Thank you Lisa for going above and beyond for us first time builders, answering all our concerns and for the time spent with us. We highly recommend Santamaria Design. Thanks Lisa for sharing all your experience with us.

Lisa was recommended to us by a friend. I had spoken to a few designers prior to reaching out to Lisa but hadn't really connected with any until we met with Lisa. We loved working with Lisa - she is extremely talented and the level of professionalism, her attention to detail, and client centricity was amazing. Lisa knew exactly what we wanted before we did! I really don't know what we would have done without Lisa's advice. Being our first full home build, Lisa's help and insights were invaluable when selecting colours, designing the kitchen, butlers, laundry and mudroom, and choosing all the fixtures and fittings (tiles, tapware, flooring/carpet, stone, lighting, plantation shutters). Many thanks Lisa for making a daunting and overwhelming process fun! We are very excited for our home to be finished and all the designs/selections on paper to come to life.

Lisa is not only talented but she's also a pleasure to work with. Lisa understands that renovating a home is very personal so she really took the time to understand our needs as a family and our "vision" for the type of home we dreamed of, before expertly taking those ideas and elevating the project to the next level. Lisa's knowledge and confidence took the stress out of the design process, she worked closely with our builder and trades to oversee each stage of the renovation and was always able to calmly problem solve if an issue arose. Lisa's extensive experience means she has built up a solid network of professional contacts within the home design industry, so she was able to guide us with decision making and source materials and pieces that are both functional and beautiful, and which cohesively tie the old to the new in our home. Lisa's passion for her work is evident. She's professional, collaborative and genuine and we are so glad we made the decision to work with her. When coming up with our design brief we loved this quote; "our home should be life giving and soul refreshing, a soft spot to land on a hard day and a beautiful place to recharge and rejuvenate" (@the inspiredroom) and that is exactly what Lisa has helped us to create.

We were recommended to Lisa by a major home builder and were not disappointed. Lisa helped us with our home renovation and our holiday house and was able to work with the two different briefs. Lisa was great to work with. Lisa was very patient and professional and knew what she was talking about. Her selections were great and made the process a lot easier than it would have been without her. We highly recommend Santamaria Design. Thank you Lisa.

I always wanted to work with a designer but felt nervous about engaging the right person. I was blessed to find Lisa, she was the perfect fit, right from the outset I felt very comfortable with her and she got me! I love my new renovations and I feel very grateful to have had Lisa by my side throughout this process, she always stayed positive and calm when I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed, it was comforting to know she was on my side. I would highly recommend Lisa for great design and professionalism. Thanks Lisa, it’s been a real pleasure! Sue

This is the first time we have built a new home so we were very inexperienced on selecting colours, internal designs, etc, so thank goodness we were recommended to seek the wonderful experience of Lisa. I honestly don't know how we could have done it without her. Her knowledge and expertise of guiding us through the whole process was amazing. It took all the stress away so when we turned up for our colour appointment at Masterton head office i had a detailed plan with me of everything we had chosen together with Lisa and walked away confident and grateful for all her wonderful ideas and guidance. We HIGHLY recommend Lisa.

Santamaria Design was recommended to us by a trusted advisor and we are so happy we chose to work with them! We aimed from Day 1 for the ARIANA 5-bed luxury duplex on the Earlwood side of Kingsgrove to be by far the most glamorous ever built in the area. It looks like we are on track to achieve that with Lisa's help. SD offerer an end-to-end service, starting with a detailed study of the architectural plans, consultation on the product we are looking to create, mood boards for each duplex (light and dark), technical design drawings for all joinery and rooms, through to colours and finishes selections, inclusive of supplier showroom appointments and checking of supplier quotes. She will be available later on for site visits and consultations with the suppliers' tradies to make sure the final product is 100% as designed. The contribution an interior designer of Santamaria Design's calibre brings to a project is invaluable. They allow us to bring our vision of a luxurious, low maintenance, house-like proportions duplex to life and to offer a product that is timelessly elegant for many years to come. For a fee that represents a very small percentage of the overall project cost, their contrubution has a HUGE impact! Last but not least, Lisa is extremely friendly, professional, approachable and goes above and beyond to make sure they deliver the best service. Thank you :))

Lisa was amazing at assisting me transform my inspiration into selections for my interior and exterior so that our home reflected a relaxed coastal vibe. Lisa’s attention to detail and appreciation of sticking to my budget combined with her ongoing enthusiasm meant she made the process totally enjoyable. Well done Lisa!

If you need an home designer and live in Sydney you need Lisa and her team to help you! Lisa took the time to understand our new home project, our visions and styles and then was able to interpret the design the way we imagined it. She has the ability and confidence to recommend a design and we trusted her to take the lead and make a decision when we couldn't. So happy we met Lisa and all the hard work she put into our home. Highly recommend Lisa and her team,

I am so glad I had Lisa and her team to assist me in the design of my duplex project. As someone who knows next to nothing about design, Lisa was an invaluable asset for me. She is very knowledgable, super professional but most importantly Lisa was able to guide me through the design decisions by quickly determining my style preferences and design priorities. This is something I really struggled to elucidate. She takes her work seriously and takes pride in achieving the best results for her clients. I enjoyed working with Lisa and would not hesitate in recommending her to any prospective clients.

Initially we weren’t sure if we needed to engage Lisa’s services for the build of our new home but we are so glad that we did! Lisa has been super amazing, helping us through the entire process from colour selection, lighting, choosing floors, blinds and curtains down to kitchen and bathroom tiles and tap wares. Her attention to detail and eye for colours and styling made what would otherwise have been an overwhelming and daunting process for us, most enjoyable and stress free. Lisa, thank you for your patience, your warm and caring attitude and more importantly for holding our hands and being part of our journey. Kuen & Cheong

Lisa is a superstar! She is extremely talented at her job, but just as importantly she is highly professional, very easy to communicate with, a strong advocate for her client, and just an enjoyable person to work with. Lisa helped us with selecting all the colour and design elements of our home - she made a daunting process very easy, it was such a welcomed relief to have her onboard. It’s evident Lisa is passionate about what she does, she would often be thoughtful about decisions, making sure no detail was missed. She quickly understood the brief and was able to transform our preferences into a consistent style through the home. Lisa balanced ‘leading’ with ‘supporting’ wonderfully so that we still always felt in control of our selections. We have no hesitation recommending her to friends and family - in fact, we already have!!

Lisa has transformed our house! We had been thinking of renovating for a while but we knew neither of us had the time or the style to make our house truly beautiful. I had looked into a few designers but I really clicked with her on our first phone call and after her first visit to our house we knew Lisa was the designer we wanted to work with. Throughout the whole process Lisa has supported and guided us, and has helped transform our tired home into a gorgeous place that suits our family and lifestyle. And importantly she was respectful of our budget! Without Lisa we would no doubt still be standing in the tile showroom still trying to pick out the tiles! I have recommended Lisa to numerous friends and colleagues and will definitely use her services again when we embark on the kitchen!

Lisa was referred to me by my SIL and we went into our first meeting as cautious optimists - having had a not so great experience with another designer. From the very beginning Lisa put our minds at ease and was straight up with us on how we could improve our home and the likely costs - there was no sugar coating or over-promising and that really helped us to be able to piece it all together. She 'got it' in terms of our design very early on, and that meant that her proposal and product selections were outstanding and didn't require a lot of re-work or design. Lisa is highly personable, very good to relate to and understands the balance between style and function for a family that wants to improve the aesthetics of their home - no matter the budget! I'd have no hesitation in recommending her to others - she was great.

Absolutely loved working with Lisa from the start. We connected from our first meeting and were made to feel very comfortable. Prior to engaging Lisa we felt quite over-whelmed with our renovation and unsure of how to bring together everything we liked. How-ever as soon as we engaged Lisa we felt calm and ready to enjoy the entire process. Lisa took the time to understand what we liked, to understand what we wanted and to make sure that each room had a consistent flow as one house. Now we have a beautiful home that we can enjoy with our family. Lisa is talented, friendly and has a wealth of knowledge to share as well as excellent supplier contacts. Thank you Lisa

Lisa is fantastic! We are so thankful for her help during this project. She is passionate, understood what we want and delivered meticulously. Her attention to details is something that will set her apart from the rest. She was always on time for meetings, and responded very quickly on the communications. I would definitely take further help decorating my house after it is built and highly recommend to her service to someone who is going through the selection process prior building.

I can’t express how glad I am I engaged Lisa from Santamaria Design. I am in the process of building my dream home and Lisa was recommended to me. I was apprehensive at first because I already had a vision of what I wanted, but Lisa guided me right through the process, she focused on my vision and made sure I knew all my options when making design selections and dealing with sales consultants. Lisa helped me save money in some areas so I could splurge in other areas that make the biggest impact... still keeping within my budget. My home is still how I envisioned but better!! I would highly recommend Lisa from Santamaria Design, she made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into a smooth and enjoyable experience!

I highly recommend Lisa Santamaria for all of your interior design needs. We worked with Lisa to design the interior of our three story property. Lisa helped us transform so many different concepts and ideas into a truly amazing design. I liked so many different things and struggled to choose what would work best. I would often see other people’s images pop and wonder what about this or that. Lisa would patiently work through these with me and was always available to troubleshoot my thoughts along the way. Lisa was always able to provide the right amount of reassurance and gave me so much confidence to make decisions that could have otherwise been very costly mistakes. Lisa also helped us choosing products, shopping with us at various suppliers and walking through showrooms to help us choose our finishes and selections. Lisa provided us with all the required cad drawings to work with kitchen suppliers and all of the final designs and finishing schedules. I even struggled to know what the inside of the wardrobes should look like but Lisa helped us design everything to such great detail whilst meeting all of our families needs. Lisa has expertly made our hearts desire work with the style of the property. People would walk in half way through the build and go wow so imagine what they say at the end. Lisa’s design has added a significant amount of value to our property and she has saved us money through careful selections that do not compromise on quality and finish. I highly recommend Lisa as a high end interior design and as she is amazing to work with.

We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the consultation work with Santamaria Design . We found Lisa to be personable, insightful, creative, honest and above all extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Lisa and happy to provide a personal recommendation.

Lisa is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Her suggestions solved some very difficult decisions. She took her time and ensured that we were confident with the design colours and fittings.

We recently renovated our courtyard and were looking to add some final touches. We had a bunch of ideas but nothing concrete. Lisa articulated our somewhat random thoughts and provided clear, expert feedback. The guidance Lisa provided has meant the area has quickly become a favourite hangout for our family and friends.

A heartfelt thanks to Lisa for turning my home into a place that I feel proud to show off! Lisa helped me from start to finish - firstly with the design for our renovation and secondly to decorate our whole home. Lisa quickly established what my preferred style was and also my personality, in that I needed a smaller number of options presented to me! A practical family home was very important and Lisa achieved that. Lisa has access to a huge range of suppliers and professionals to complete all projects. I'm thoroughly enjoying living in my dream home.

I really enjoyed working with Lisa on our home design/build. She's very stylish, incredibly knowledgeable and so easy to get on with. I really enjoyed our discussions and found her help invaluable. Would strongly recommend Lisa's services for a renovation or new build.

We enjoyed working with Lisa very much, she had some excellent ideas on design, colour schemes and finishes for our deck/bathroom & kitchen renovation. Lisa considered not just the immediate rooms but the location, style & character of the house as well when making her suggestions. Her style is very consultative & approachable but she also gives direction and helps with decision making if needed. We are delighted with the results & would highly recommend Santamaria designs.

We engaged Lisa to help with our choices with our Masterton build. We are so glad we did as not only was she a great help with colours and styles, she was really helpful in determining where to go for upgrades and where not to. She saved us a lot of money and helped us get the best value for money out of the project.

We engaged Lisa Santamaria of Santamaria Design to help decorate our brand new family home in Cabarita. Lisa understood what we were trying to achieve and worked with us to help transform our house into a home. She provided several decorator concepts with her recommendations and alternatives. Once we agreed on a concept, she sourced furniture, artwork, mirrors, rugs and accessories - most at trade cost. We visited showrooms together and she provided a short list of suggested samples to choose from, making the process an easy and enjoyable one! She also helped design and advise on materials and colours for our Study joinery and Cinema Room Bar. Lisa helped us create a beautiful and stylish home with her great sense of interior decorating and eye for detail. Her patience, efforts, guidance and advice was much appreciated! We found Lisa of Santamaria Design to be honest, personable, professional and delightful to work with. We have no hesitation in highly recommending this talented lady for any interior design service. Zina & Leo

I engaged Lisa from Santamaria Designs to help me with the external and internal colour selections for my new home. Lisa had a profound and positive impact on my home's design, from joinery to grout, tapware to stone, Lisa's positivity and vision has taken my home to a new level. I am very grateful for Lisa's expertise.

Lisa was extremely helpful to both myself and my husband as we build our dream home. She made sure we understand our choices but also helped make those choices when decision became too hard for us. She is very knowledgeable and has a great eye when it come to style and colour schemes. We couldn’t be happier with Lisa. Thank you.

We employed Lisa to help us navigate through the process of selecting materials and colour combinations. She is very cost conscious and gave us multiple scenarios encompassing all levels, making the selection process much easier. My partner was sceptical about how much value a designer would add, thinking that he had a fair idea of what we wanted but after going through the process with Lisa we were very appreciative of her input, not only in terms of design but also the organisational role that she plays, which made everything so much easier. I would highly recommend her services.

Lisa worked on the renovation and furnishing for my new waterfront apartment. Lisa was very easy to work with and provided great advice and guidance on making my basic ideas a reality and a result that I am very happy with. Lisa was very good at communications and keeping me informed on progress and scheduling, particularly when we were working with a tight time line. Lisa has developed a great network of suppliers and works with a terrific team of trades. Her experience in providing the services I needed was invaluable.

After a considerable amount of research I engaged Santamaria Design to work on my 1913 home, which had recently been given an contemporary extension. The brief was to give the home a cutting edge lift with a modern decorating style, keeping in mind the period of the home. It included updating bathrooms whilst keeping some of the existing materials, which required a lot of thought and skill to achieve. I requested also that I be involved in this project and that I would like us to work together. Lisa began this job approximately 12 months ago, with a great deal of enthusiasm and above all professionalism. Starting off with many quotes and meetings, we began! There were challenges along the way in dealing with the many tradesmen but Lisa handled these with expertise, courtesy and always professionally. Lisa was great to work with and went over and beyond what was expected off her always keeping to her times. I can highly recommend Santamaria Design as being talented, professional and always with integrity. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and I hope to do so again in the future.

Lisa has been an absolute pleasure to work with- she made a very overwhelming process simple and fun. Lisa took the time to understand our style and what we wanted to achieve in our dream home, and she helped us choose everything, from flooring, to kitchens, bathrooms, joinery etc. We were completely overwhelmed with the choice, but Lisa guided us through the process and ensured we have been able to achieve the look we were after (a Hamptons-style home) within our budget. She’s also been invaluable in helping us to see the bigger picture, and how the whole house ties together. Thanks so much for all your help, Lisa!

Highly recommend Santamaria Design! Lisa is amazing. She took the time to understand the look I was hoping to achieve in our new home build and she was such a pleasure to work with. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable, orgainsed and well prepared, complete with samples to support her design ideas. She is super efficient and focused - an absolute pro!!

I engaged the services of Santamaria Design as I needed help with colours and material selections. I walked into Lisa's office feeling very overwhelmed and not at all positive that the I would achieve my desired goals. Within the first 30 minutes Lisa had me feeling relaxed and had me reassured that we would complete the huge task of colour and material selections. She grasped very quickly my likes and dislikes and worked with me to achieve my dream home. Lisa had almost all material selections available and easily showed me what colours worked well with my choices. i would highly recommend Lisa for any job that she may be asked to undertake. My only regret was I didn't undertake the services of Santamaria Design earlier. I would highly suggest engaging Lisa's services for the design concept right through to construction.

Lisa was amazing! We couldn't have done this without her! I found designing a house so daunting and had lots of big spirit finger ideas, l needed someone to work with me and help me make financially viable options. Lisa was a fabulous asset and we could not recommend her enough. Lisa was awesome from the get go, she really spent the time to understand our brief and design direction and came prepared with options by the time we arrived to our appointments She is extremely down to earth and patient and made the whole process enjoyable and understandable for us both, no smoke and mirrors. We are really grateful for the level of service she offers. Thank you for everything, it is always a pleasure to encounter such lovely people who do their job so well.

Lisa from Santamaria Design was enthusiastic and made the selection process for our new house very easy. She helped us with external colour selection, flooring- tiles and solid timber, window furnishings, bathroom, kitchen and pantry selections. Without Lisa we would have struggled to make decisions and bring our ideas to reality. Lisa was also prompt and kept open communication via email and phone making it easy to discuss ideas. We feel confident about the look of our new home now.

Lisa was great to work with. A compromising and dedicated young lady who perceives what her client is looking for. Lisa worked on every corner of our house from furniture design/placement, lighting, bedrooms, kitchen, rear garden and front entrance. The house is a few days away from completion and the family couldn't be happier. Even the tradies have enjoyed working on our family home. BIG THANKS TO LISA

We were grateful to have Santamaria Design guide us in many aspects of our Duplex project including respect to budgeting Each appointment was made in consultation with us which was very accommodating What we liked most was her warm and caring attitude to include us in the decision making Lisa is very professional lady, always on time, well mannered and respectful Her ability to keep our meetings on schedule and all topics covered off was terrific My husband and I would like to recommend Santamaria Design

Lisa was wonderful to work with. Not only was she understanding of all our needs/wants, she was also very organised, attentive and dedicated. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and we will definitely use her again in the future.

Lisa was superb! From the outset, she knew 'the feeling' that we wanted to create in our new home. She built a solid understanding of our vision. Her passion to deliver was as great as ours. Lisa inspired us through her talents. She was able to distinguish what was important to US. She complimented our ideas with her succinct creative and technical skills. Her colour styling was amazing along with her in-depth knowledge and choices about different building materials and finishes. We found Lisa's professionalism and service to be exceptional. It was not only a pleasure to work with Lisa, but more importantly, a whole lot of fun and extremely rewarding!

We found Lisa to be very pleasant and professional to work with. She listened and understood our requirements and presented her views and ideas in a courteous manner. Her knowledge of the products, whether it'd be kitchen sink or tiles, in the market was excellent. At the appointments with us with the builder's subcontractors, she knew exactly the right products to ask for making sure that we got the most out of the package we were entitled to by the builder. Her response time to my emails and phone calls was excellent. We are so glad we hired her services as all the appointments including final colour selection was just so stress free!

Lisa is very professional, client focused, and inspires confidence and trust from the outset. Her expertise has transformed our initial ideas for our home including the exterior colour scheme, interior paint and paper schemes, custom window furnishings and joinery. She has delivered very pleasing results beyond our expectations. We also appreciate that Lisa has gone the extra mile to source quality decorating materials that we love and truly suit the character of our home. Lisa's creativity, design sense and attention to detail coupled with her attentiveness and enthusiasm for the project have been invaluable in the restoration and refreshing of our heritage home over the past year. Our builder is already recommending Lisa to others and who wouldn't! Jodie and Michael

I engaged Lisa from Santamaria Design to help me decorate our master bedroom, family room and formal lounge/dining room. Lisa took the time to understand what my likes and dislikes were and subsequently presented beautiful room concepts. Lisa was also very effective at working within our budget and the options she presented worked in beautifully with our existing furniture. She has done a fantastic job. I have really enjoyed working with Lisa and would highly recommend Santamaria Design. I will certainly use Lisa again for my next design project.

I can’t praise Lisa highly enough for her amazing talent and creativity which has resulted in a unique and beautiful environment for us to come home to. Lisa helped us decorate our home – paint colours, window furnishings, custom-made joinery, furniture, rugs, artwork and lighting. Our brief was to have a place which was instantly inspiring but did not feel like a showpiece. Lisa has found the perfect balance for us. She always listened to our ideas and guided us each step of the way, using her own expertise and experience to open our eyes to new possibilities. Lisa has extensive product knowledge of both local and interstate suppliers. Her recommended tradespeople were all courteous and excellent to work with, and most importantly, very reasonable in price. She was extremely efficient and made the whole process so easy for us. Lisa has been an absolute pleasure to work with and I definitely recommend her if you want someone who will take the time to get to know you, is extremely approachable yet professional and who, without a doubt, has that stroke of genius! Tessa

Lisa is a fantastic Interior designer. She has worked on a number of my building projects and my clients have always been impressed with the results. She is professional and will commit wholeheartedly to your project. When I hand over the design process to Lisa on a project - I can let go.

Working with Lisa has been nothing short of a blessing she has been patient and adapting to all my needs. She has helped me deign my forever home everything from bedroom to exterior with her unique ideas which have been adapted to my own style. She really has made this process so easy; I am so sad to not be able to work with her again almost makes me want to buy another place! Thank you Lisa

Getting ready to build our new home was quite a daunting feeling. Working with Lisa throughout the design process with Masterton made the process seamless as she helped turn our vision into a reality. Lisa understood the look we wanted to achieve with ease and helped drive our choices to achieve the feel we wanted in our new home. Her professionalism and interior knowledge made us extremely comfortable and enjoy the design process. We loved working with Lisa so much that we have now engaged with her to work on furnishing our home when it’s complete to bring our entire vision to life to create our dream home.

Lisa has been a fantastic investment for our design concepts. Our house looks amazing, so professional and timeless. Lisa was able to provide excellent options and met my budget with plenty of alternatives. Lisa always listened to our preferences and then developed concepts with her recommendations but alternatives so we were able to get the best look. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone needing an interior designer.

Lisa did a great job in a number of engagements ranging from interior design (living and bathroom) to exterior facade colour selection. Most importantly she was able to work well within the bounds of scope and budget provided. Would recommend Lisa to anyone building a new house or just renovating.

Lisa has been a pleasure to work with! She is insightful, honest and knowledgeable. She took the time to get to know me and understand my lifestyle so not only was she able to create room designs that are stunning and fresh, she created rooms that respect me, my unique style and my lifestyle. She is also incredibly resourceful and able to work within a budget. Lisa is superb at listening and artful at creating something that you love but couldn't have imagined yourself. I highly recommend her.

It gives me a great pleasure to recommend Lisa from Santamaria Design to other potential clients who are after Interior Design services and who seek great customer service. Lisa is very particular, has good taste and great attention to detail. She has guided me through the interior design process for my 35 units building project and made it easy for me to decide on the finishes. Thank you Lisa for assisting me in my project, I look forward to dealing with you on the next one. Good Luck Nicolas Abou-Chedid N.I.C Constructions

We employed Lisa from Santamaria Design for the design and specification of the kitchen and butlers pantry, all bathrooms/ensuites, laundries and study. Lisa also put together the interior schemes for our bedrooms as well as sourcing and recommendations for all of our window coverings. I especially love our linen s-fold curtains. We are currently working on finalising the scheme for our sunken lounge area. Lisa has been an absolute delight to work with as she understood the brief, budget as well as my particular style. We have not photographed the property yet however hope to do this in the coming months.

Lisa invested time in getting to know what we wanted to achieve with our renovation and the colours we liked and didn't want. The result was amazing. Thanks for spending time listening, learning and replicating what we wanted to achieve and delivering this so easily.

We used Lisa for our new duplex and she helped us build our beautiful new homes. Lisa is very knowledgable about new trends and products that have just entered the market. She has a good eye for detail and worked hard in getting us exactly what we wanted. She is a professional that doesn't let personality get in the way of getting a job done and takes the initiative with a job suggesting things we haven't thought of and providing practical advice regarding our choices. She suggested we knock down a couple of walls and extend the kitchen and the result was a beautiful, big and practical kitchen that has become the feature of the house. She also found a completely different type of stone for our external feature and that has really added the wow factor to our houses. 3 years later we still see people walking past and pointing at the stone and commenting about how different and special it looks. Lisa is now working on our next duplex and I'm trying to figure our how I can get her to help me with a house we are building overseas!!

I have been working with Lisa for a little over 2 years as a supplier for interior joinery products. Lisa's design work has always been on trend, using innovative new products to the market. Lisa's professionalism and approach to her clients is outstanding, just when talking to Lisa you can see her enthusiasm and excitement about the projects she is working on. I would highly recommended Lisa at Santamaria Design to work on my home inside and out!

What can I say – Santamaria Design were outstanding! We had built a new family home and didn’t know where to start with decorating. We found Lisa and she made the process easy from start to finish. We love our living space and everyone that visits loves it too. We are very proud of our home now. From sofas to accent chairs, floor rugs to custom made furniture and artwork our rooms look amazing. Thank you Lisa we love it! She was a pleasure to work with and made it lots of fun. We would highly recommend Lisa at Santamaria Design for any decorating job!

This is the second time we have engaged Lisa to work with us - this time the task was to complete our dining room. This room required a lot of work and was essentially a blank canvas. Lisa was able to work with us to design a brilliant layout including a buffet and bar plus seamless cabinetry incorporating our wine fridge. Her professional manner and vast experience with wholesalers and cabinet makers delivered a vision and complete design that was immediately agreed and accepted. We then tasked Lisa with dressing the room including table and chairs, pictures, rug and vases. Again this was made easy by her ability to provide not just unique catalogue's but samples sourced from those providers which when placed alongside each other made our task so much easier (not to mention the filtering that was provided to help limit our options but not lose our joint vision). The room is beautiful and more than met our expectations. Our budget was set at $20,000 - Lisa through her vast network of vendors was able to come in under budget. The deadlines we agreed were always met and her ability to constantly engage and brief us was exceptional. I would thoroughly recommend Lisa to anybody who is considering finishing or furnishing the interior of their house.

We engaged Lisa to provide interior design advice for an investment unit renovation. This included paint colour, carpets, bathroom and kitchen products and layout and light selection. She did a fantastic job of working within the brief which was to provide a "wow" factor on the interiors but stay within our 'investment' budget. What I like about working with Lisa is that she listens and comes up with alternatives, after the consultation was over she followed up and helped resolve any decisions. I would highly recommend Lisa if you want a talented, professional and pragmatic designer that is easy to work with. Freya Elliott
