After getting a few quotes from different designers, I chose Lisa based on her experience with homes in Ashgrove similar to ours, and her pricing. I’m so glad I did as she and her team have been amazing! She has gone above and beyond to create such a beautiful interior for our family, and given I engaged her just before Christmas, I was super impressed with how quick the turnaround was from our initial consultation to our fully completed rooms (especially during such a busy period). Highly recommended!
Response from the owner: Thankyou! So glad we could get you set up in your new home for you and your family to enjoy for Christmas.
We used Lisa and her team to design a a full interior renovation for our house in Ashgrove. We knew what we liked but were struggling to turn our ideas into reality. Lisa providing us with exactly the look and the options we were searching for. She was able to channel our aesthetic perfectly as well put forward suggestions that we hadn't yet considered. Everything went perfectly and we can't be happier with the result. Communication and consultation was fantastic and the drawings provided gave us a great indication of what the final result would be. When we do this again, Bella Vie will be the first place we call.
Response from the owner: Thanks Toby, I would love to work with you both again!! Amazing clients and the most amazing collection of art and decor. Your house just feels so inviting every time I've been in there since its completion. It 100% suits your family and I'm sure it will be a place to create years of happy memories.
We used Bella Vie Interiors to design and manage the complete interior of our new build home. The result was outstanding and still refreshing every day. Lisa was so professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. We are very happy to recommend Bella Vie Interiors
Response from the owner: Thank you Richard, it was such a pleasure to work on your beautiful home. To this day, I am grateful for you putting your trust in me so early on in my design career. Your home design is timeless and I love that you are still so passionate about it after all these years.
I engaged with Bella Vie to do the interior design on a large renovation of our character Queenslander. Although I know what I like, I had no idea how blend together the more modern timeless elements while showing respect to the original details that make a Queenslander so beautiful. Lisa is incredibly good at drawing out all the information she needs from you. Our initial meeting felt like a conversation with a friend but I realised later that she had subtly asked such detailed questions that there was virtually no details we didn’t cover. Lisa and her team absolutely nailed it. They were always incredibly efficient, thoughtful and friendly, talked me through their reasons for different choices and happily changed details I was less sure of. I would happily recommend Bella Vie and look forward to working with them again.
Response from the owner: Such kind words Elizabeth. Thank you!! I'm honoured to think our initial meeting was like a conversation with a friend. I truly want my clients to feel comfortable enough to share everything I need to design them the perfect home. You've been a brilliant client and now that your project is under construction, you will see your vision come to life in no time at all. Your home will be amazing and you deserve it. xo
We hired Lisa and the team at Bella Vie to design our new kitchen, en-suite and walk in robe joinery.From the moment we met Lisa she understood our vision and aesthetic (despite us not quite knowing how to put it into words ourselves). Lisa was able to translate this vision into a design we loved from the moment we saw it. Capturing all the special touches, along with being highly functional.If you want a designer that understands you and can translate that it to a beautiful and functional space, you can’t look past Bella Vie.
Response from the owner: Queenslanders are wonderful to work on and yours is no exception. We are so pleased that we captured your vision and translated it into spaces that you loved. Thanks for being such great clients and for trusting us with your beautiful home.
Lisa and the Bella Vie team provided amazing support in helping us “fix” some space and layout issues with our old Queenslander. They came up with a great design and 3D render, and helped with the selection of colours, finishes, materials, flooring and the lot!Highly recommended for all those older inner -city Brisbane homes!
Response from the owner: Thanks for being such wonderful clients. Your home has so much character and it's great to visit and see it how the space flows now that the renovation is complete.
I have worked with Belle Vie Interiors many times doing painting to all of their projects.It has always been a pleasure doing so working along side their friendly team and painting great colour ideas to suit their interior decorating needs.
Response from the owner: Thanks Dylan. We love working with Bella Casa Painting!
Lisa took the time to understand our needs, priorities and budget to design a fabulous space for our initial upstairs renovation. And we have again engaged Lisa to design our downstairs space. Having someone we could trust and someone that delivered made our renovation stress free and a thoroughly enjoyable experience!Impeccable design style and eye for detail. A pleasure to work with - and would recommend in a heartbeat!
Response from the owner: Thanks Adria, for your kind words. We love working on your gorgeous home. Being able to transform it into a home you love makes our jobs so rewarding. Having your trust allowed us to get a little more creative second time round which was great. We were happy to be able to answer all your questions and make the process a whole lot easier for you. I still remember how overwhelmed you were with what to do with your tricky spaces when you first contacted us so reading this puts a big smile on my face!
We used Bella Vie Interiors to design and plan a large renovation to our recently purchased home - and could not have been happier. From the very first meeting with Lisa, her vision and attention to detail made the whole design process a breeze, and took a lot of the stress away from the renovation experience. The kitchen especially is full of unique touches, and brings a smile to our face every day. Worth every cent and couldn't recommend Bella Vie more!
Response from the owner: Thank you James for your kind words. Visiting your home is a joy! To see your family interacting in the kitchen is why we do what we do. Having a space to impart your family values onto your young children is invaluable. Watching them share Nerida's love of food and cooking in a space perfectly designed for this reason made my heart sing!!
After spending a great deal of time researching companies that did kitchen designs, I was thrilled to have found Lisa and her wonderful, and professional, Bella Vie team. Lisa was so easy to work with and very quickly understood exactly what I was looking for in a beautiful new kitchen design that was in keeping with our existing home. I thoroughly recommend Lisa and her team.
Response from the owner: Thanks Amelia. We love the style and colour of your new Hampton's inspired kitchen and are thrilled that we could make the process of designing your new kitchen so much easier.
I called on Lisa and the team at Bella Vie Interiors when I was renovating a Spanish Mission apartment in Brisbane but couldn’t get there because of COVID border restrictions. Lisa was superb, she was able to interpret what I wanted and added so much more value, in terms of the look and feel of the property, bringing expertise to the choice of fixtures and fittings and working closely with the construction team, to achieve an outstanding result, well above expectations and with no fuss. I highly recommend her expertise and services.
Response from the owner: Thanks Jane! We are fortunate to have had a great builder and trades to round out the team. Your apartment looks amazing and we are privileged that you trusted us with the creative direction in such a beautiful classic building. Thanks for being a wonderful client.
Lisa has helped me with two projects (and hopefully a third soon!) I have found her to be a fantastic combination of personable and professional. She instinctively understood what I needed along with what I was trying to achieve. We are really pleased with the outcome. She worked within our budget and no doubt saved us from some costly mistakes had we attempted to do it ourselves. I have no hesitation with recommending Lisa and her team.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes a little guidance is all you need! You have a beautiful home and we can't wait to work on the next stage.
Lisa at Belle Vie exceeded our expectations, our renovated house is everything we could have wanted plus more. The process of planning through to moving in was lengthy, but we were thankful to have Lisa work with us throughout the whole entire process.We cant say enough good things about Lisa. Apart from Lisa’s obvious talents in design, she is a wonderful person to deal with, which helped us enormously when we were under pressure to make significant decisions. Lisa is a really warm person with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and a genuine passion for what she does.Given our experience we had we have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Lisa’s services to anyone building or decorating.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Lisa. Your house is so beautiful and I really enjoyed working with you. It makes me so happy at the end of a project when my clients love the home we've created together. It helped that you and I both love the same colour too!
Lisa was a pleasure to deal with. She designed our bathroom renovation transforming a crammed and awkward space into a room that feels fit for a day spa. Plus, her design met all our specs. I'd definitely recommend Bella Vie Interiors.
Response from the owner: It was such a pleasure designing your bathroom. It really brought your sense of style into an outdated space.
