​Interiors Review

​

I have worked with Olivia using YHD’s full interior design service. I love that you can tailor the level of service and I initially started with just some aspects.

After meeting Liv and starting with the colour scheme and vision board, I elected to add on the balance of the package as I was so impressed with what Liv presented. I don’t know how she does it, but I feel she managed to articulate my specific design aesthetics with her understanding and expertise of what works well from an interior design perspective. I am so excited for the realisation of the vision Liv has created.

I highly recommend having an interior selections schedule prepared. It saved me countless hours of time as I simply had to check whether I was happy with the selections. I felt as though Liv could read my mind as she selected with 98% accuracy colours, fixtures and fittings I love but are also what I could not have contemplated independently. The wet area drawings remove the ambiguity of where fixtures or fittings should be positioned and Liv also included the tile layout.

​

I feel that I can trust Liv’s advice because she can explain the reasons for her suggestions and will speak up if she has concerns about something I suggest, and was also open to my suggestions. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Liv and you will love working with her. She is endlessly helpful and I could not recommend YHD Interiors more highly.

Building Design 

 

I actually came to YHD after working with a ‘designer’ who did not have the skill and expertise they represented. I was left with half-baked plans that were not at the standard required for a DA. I was very grateful that YHD were willing to work with me moving forward, whilst recognising the concept plans so far, and I cannot overstate the quality of service provided.

On many occasions I have felt the best way to describe YHD is like a well oiled machine. I feel that there are systems and processes in place behind the scenes to ensure best practice and the best client experience. All my experiences with YHD staff have been friendly, professional and efficient.

I personally worked with Sammy who has had excellent ideas for my renovation/extension and also with regard to Council rules (you can’t assume your designer is across this). I was blown away by the efficiency of producing plans and Sketchup models of the project after consultation (a matter of days or weeks, not months). I could not recommend YHD building design more highly. I also love that YHD represents the talent that women bring to the building industr

I recently had the pleasure of working with Your Home Designs and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Breanna and Zoe were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient as they designed our home. They took the time to understand our needs and preferences and designed accordingly. I highly recommend Your Home Designs. Perfect experience.

What can I say….. 5-star service! Zoe and the YHD team are professional, creative, knowledgeable and such nice people! We are super happy with our new home and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thanks, YHD!

YHD Girls are the best in the business, I have used several different architectural services over the years, but Zoe and her team are second to none.

 

I gave Zoe a brief description of what we were after for our build and she nailed it! Thanks, Zoe and the YHD team.

Joel P, Stockton

Zoey's getting all the wraps here from everyone and deservedly so. I mainly dealt with Emma and she deserves a big wrap too.

 

Very friendly yet professional and informative on the best way for me to go about my situation. I'd be happy to use YHD again and would recommend giving them a call. Thanks, girls

We contacted the team at YHD before we purchased our home in Newcastle and helped to guide us in the best direction for our first home and first renovation. 

 

They have absolutely exceeded our expectations and made the whole renovation process so easy. Highly recommended!

We employed Your Home Designs to renovate an apartment that we owned; design, construct and organise the work.

 

We live in Sydney and the apartment is in Shoal Bay and she ran the project for us. We couldn't be happier with the results. The workmanship, working with us on the project, and the professional way the job was completed.

YHD was recommended to us by a local builder and we are very thankful to him. We knew what we wanted to do and Zoe worked with us to improve many aspects of our initial design thoughts. I asked Zoe to take this through the council process and this took so much stress out of the process.

 

Zoe knows key service providers, she listens, communicates well and is super efficient and professional. We could not have a higher regard for Zoe and hope the build is as pleasurable as the design.

Ken & Nola, North Arm Cove

Zoe was a pleasure to deal with, always prompt and thorough, making us feel very comfortable and assured throughout the whole process. She had extensive knowledge of the process involved with Development Applications and her knowledge of building processes from her varied work was a huge plus!

​

We would recommend Zoe to first-time or experienced renovators and will definitely be recommending her to family and friends in the future.

Megan C, Maryville

From the first meeting with Zoe up until the DA submission for our new build, the team at YHD made the process seamless. Zoe, Sammy and Emma have been a pleasure to deal with and are more than willing to help with any requests you send their way.

 

We would highly recommend Your Home Designs. Thanks again to the team for all their hard work. We love our design and can't wait to see the finished product.

James & Mary, Carrington

Thank you, Zoe, Sammy and the whole YHD team for your assistance in guiding us through achieving the design of our dreams. We cannot wait to start the building process. your patience through navigating with many obstacles around bush fire regulations and meeting the design concept we wanted was much appreciated.

 

We highly recommend YHD and look forwards to doing many projects in the future.

We are so pleased that we found Zoe from Your Home Designs to create the concept designs for our renovation. Zoe has been a delight to work with, always prompt in responding to phone calls or emails, happy to answer any questions and the designs she produced were exactly as promised for a very reasonable price.

 

We were reluctant to hand over full creative control to another person as wanted to be involved in the design process, but Zoe completely got our vision and was happy to work with the ideas we had, coupled with her own, and we are very happy with the result!

Gemma B, Eleebana

With a new build project in mind, Zoe at YHD was recommended as someone who could take my rudimentary ideas and design them into a stylish and functional home. Zoe has done that and more, seeing the plans through the DA process and then handing over to the builder.

 

YHD has been so easy to work with and I look forward to seeing the plans develop into reality over the next couple of months.

We were reluctant to hand over full creative control to another person as wanted to be involved in the design process, but Zoe completely got our vision and was happy to work with the ideas we had, coupled with her own, and we are very happy with the result!

.Very recently I have had Your home designs complete a DA Modification application with Newcastle council. Firstly I completed an online enquiring. Which was acted on quickly, with their office booking in creative director Zoe for a site visit. Zoe was extremely helpful with the Modifications I wanted changed on my council DA 

 

During the design phase Senior building designer Sammy Richards carried out all the necessary design modifications and council applications. This was all done in a timely manner and so detailed! I now have my DA modification application approved ready to receive a construction certificate to complete the works! Thank you Your Home designs! This was such a positive experience to start 2024!

Breanna has been a dream to work with - any hurdle we met she had a solution for and the end result and plans are fantastic! She worked with our brief perfectly and I couldn’t recommend her enough! Great job Breanna you are an asset to the YHD team!
