I engaged the services of Sari from INSIDESIGN to help me with the interior design of my new apartment. I’d collected a number of pieces while living in Asia which I enjoy having in my space but didn’t want an Asian styled apartment. So Sari helped me come up with an “East meets West” concept and then worked on coming up with ideas for the living spaces.

For the master bedroom, I had a concept of a feature wall but that was about it. So again Sari helped integrate this into a full design for the bedroom. The software program she used gave a fantastic insight into how various design options and colours would work and being in an apartment where space was fixed, made sure the everything we selected fitted well while maintaining the open and bright feel of the apartment (the small balcony was particularly challenging). I do struggle with the “little pieces” so I found Sari’s assistance with this part of the project invaluable too. She even manage to put a bit of fun into the place with a drinks cart.

There were so many elements to bring a design together and with Sari’s expertise (and patience), it managed to all come together into a comfortable living space that I enjoy coming home to and entertaining friends in. From the texture of the grass woven wallpaper in the dining room, the softening effect of the sheer curtains in the dining room and guest room, and down to the new pedant lighting, all these elements bring something interesting to the rooms.

I would highly recommend Sari for anyone that wants assistance from the early concept stage to pulling all the design elements together. The process was interactive so I also found I learnt a lot as well from working with Sari. A beautiful outcome and a learning process along the way, thoroughly enjoyed this project and working with Sari.
