Testimonials

“Nicky was invaluable to us when we renovated our home. She interpreted our needs and came up with practical design solutions that are both functional and elegant. Nicky’s knowledge, experience and practical approach set her apart. We would have no hesitation in recommending Nicky’s services to any prospective client.”
Suzie, Balgowlah


“We moved into our new home about 8 years ago after a two-year build process. The idea of moving in was exciting but the reality of handling all of the interior decoration alone was overwhelming. Decorating our new home had seemed like such an exciting adventure initially, however I quickly learned that the number of options and decisions involved made the project overly complicated and stressful. That’s where Nicky Onslow of Design 33 came to my rescue.

Nicky had been working as an Interior Designer for 27 years when I was first introduced to her and during this time she had already built up a dedicated team of craftsmen and suppliers.

Nicky was like a breath of fresh air. She would arrive with armfuls of fabrics, ideas, and colour suggestions. Her knowledge of decorative style and her excellent resources for furniture, fabrics and trims, combined to give us just the look we wanted and helped pull the whole look together.

As each room started coming together, it never ceased to amaze me the way Nicky’s skilled eye always found just the right trim to complement a fabric or piece of furniture to complement a room. She always found the perfect piece. She always got it right!

Nicky is a delight to work with, always responsive to our needs and considerate of our taste and budget, providing an expert eye to make our home interiors work and look their best. Our home is beautiful and I would not hesitate to recommend Nicky to anyone who is looking for such a dedicated professional.”

Lynn, Hunter’s Hill


“Like many people I started my renovation project blissfully unaware of the sheer number of decisions I would have to make, and the options that were available. When to restore, when to replace? Tiles or timber? Which tiles? What sort of bench top? And every choice made had consequences elsewhere. Very quickly I found myself completely overwhelmed and almost paralysed with indecision.

Nicky was able to understand what I wanted to achieve and guide me through the maze so I could realise my vision. Her expertise was much more than just slavishly following the latest trend. Nicky worked with the architect and builder to create clever solutions that overcame the constraints and maximised the opportunities, and all with an eye on the budget so that I spent money where it would have the greatest bang for the buck. And then she was able to bring in a set of skilled and professional tradespeople to make it all happen.

I have already recommended Nicky to friends and I think engaging with Design 33°S could make the difference between a good renovation and a great one.”

Graeme, Roseville
