client testimonials“Working with Jacqui Koska has been an absolute pleasure. Her attention to detail is exceptional - every measurement is meticulously considered, and nothing is overlooked. Jacqui has a true gift for making the most of every inch of space, transforming even the most challenging areas into beautifully functional zones. Her thoughtful design solutions reflect both creativity and precision, and the result is a space that feels tailored, refined, and completely aligned with my needs. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

“Jacqui worked on the renovation of our house in Melbourne from concept to completion Jacqui’s expertise in interior design was demonstrated before, during and after the renovations of our Melbourne home. Due to travel restrictions stemming from the pandemic, the later end of the project was conducted remotely. This unprecedented situation didn’t impact Jacqui’s passion, commitment and attention to detail. She listened to us and responded promptly to our questions. She facilitated conversations and video calls with our builder regarding the design calmly and clearly, and always with consideration to our budget.”

“I always found Jacqui’s approach to be personable, professional and highly knowledgeable with industry contacts and suppliers. Jacqui worked with our architect and builder to integrate final details and finishes to our home and we are delighted with the end result.”
Mark & Vanessa Balmain House
“Jacqui designed our kitchen, walk-in robe, two bathrooms, a powder room and laundry. She created spatial plans, designed bespoke joinery and selected furniture. The finished spaces are beautiful, functional and very much a reflection of us as a family. So much was designed with us still living in Singapore, hugely adding to the challenge. We needed our Freshwater home furnished when we moved countries with our two small children. At that point we hadn’t physically met, but had spent hours on the phone and on message.
The end result was beautiful. Jacqui’s vast experience, professionalism, warmth and integrity were what we really appreciated about working with her.”

“My builder referred me to Jacqui very late in the build of my beautiful house. To say she was fantastic is an understatement. I’ve learned many things from my wonderful interactions with Jacqui, but here are my top three:
1. Start your design journey with her early.
Jacqui was brilliant at integrating what I had already put together and worked seamlessly in an incredibly short period of time to make it pop. I can only imagine what we could have achieved if I’d found her at the start! I will never make that mistake again, Jacqui!
2. Trust.
Choosing a designer can be daunting, especially when you’re unsure if they will understand your style or push you in new directions. From our first meeting, Jacqui put me at ease. She is talented, has an amazing eye, and can see what I could not. I trust Jacqui implicitly.
3. Be bold.
Jacqui was not satisfied with anything less than perfect. If a piece of furniture was not up to standard or there was the slightest imperfection in the paint finish, she ensured it was redone or exchanged. Jacqui taught me not to make excuses or settle. She understands the time, effort, and expense of what we are creating and expects only the best. I loved that about Jacqui.
Jacqui, you were a delight to work with. I look forward to working with you again soon!.”

“I had the pleasure to work with Jacqui on the remodelling of my NY apartment. Jacqui demonstrated great project management skills, which ensured the project stayed on budget and on time. She was able to find creative and cost effective solutions to every design challenges we faced. She has a sharp creative eye and great attention to detail. I highly recommend Jacqui to any homeowner looking for an independent interior designer with prior experience at high-end boutique firms.”

“Jacqui has been everything we needed in a designer. She is organised, detailed and happy to take the lead on colours, finishes and fixtures when we had no or little preference. Jacqui is very professional and will walk you through the process of a new build with ease. Importantly for us we wanted a designer who could make things look great with out an exceptional price tag, Jacqui is able to bring savings ideas if this is what you would like."
