“Alison helped us to transform a stuffy, dark Victorian house into an light, contemporary family home that is a joy to live in. She is a design professional with vision, but I think what made it really work for us was her commitment to understand us and to express our unique style. Her passion and sense of fun inspired us. She encouraged us to take risks and we are so happy we did.”
"Alison Carter has helped me with the decoration of a number of rooms over the last 4 years. Alison is extremely personable and easy to work with. She works extremely hard to understand your lifestyle and the personalities of all family members to ensure she provides designs which reflect your interests, taste and work on a practical day to day basis. Alison has a a great eye for furniture selection, paint colours, wallpaper, tiles, floors, bathrooms, curtains, kitchens etc. She also provides a range of ideas and suggests various pricing options to suit all budgets. Alison has made the whole experience of refurbishing our home a thoroughly enjoyable and fun experience."

""Ally was fantastic to work with. From the outset she was keen to make sure that everything we did reflected something of our personalities and lifestyle. She has a really great eye for colour and was able to accommodate most of my wacky ideas as well as giving me plenty of guidance in areas where I didn’t even know where to start.
I felt I worked hard, that my opinions and choices were validated and honoured but I know that the house would not look half as good as it does if I hadn’t had Alison’s input.
I really valued her knowledge, experience and sensitivity. She is a wonderful designer with great vision and the ability to step back and let the client make informed choices. I would definitely recommend her and hope to work with her again in future!"
“We worked with Alison a few years ago to design our new cafe and deli. She was such a pleasure to work with and has such creative energy and enthusiasm. It was so helpful to have someone who could not only envision our ideas but work with both my husband and I who have very different tastes to create something that we were both delighted with, fitted the bill perfectly and has stood the test of time. I would certainly work with Ally again in the future”
“Alison Carter came to us through my daughter’s recommendation, and I quickly understood why. She listened. She took many photographs. She listened again. She handled my cautious accountant husband brilliantly, so much so that he told her he trusted her completely.
She gave me time, coming with me to research as well as coming to us with ideas and samples. She tactfully led me away from decisions I now know I’d have regretted.
I regret nothing. Everything she provided grows on me more and more.”
