WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Testimonials

“My business is based in Adelaide and manages a Gold Coast apartment for a group of investors. The property is 17 years old, and we had noticed that the property was looking tired and old and certainly was in need of a refurbishment. We were concerned that the process was going to be a stressful and time-consuming process, however from the first meeting with Designing Spaces and Places, we felt comfortable immediately. … 

They provided us with an honest assessment of the condition of the apartment including a list of items that needed to be repaired, a fresh new design concept and a budget. Once engaged we were regularly provided updates on the project, including progress photos. At completion we felt our expectations had been exceeded with the… practicality of the design, project completion on time and to our budget. I have no hesitation in recommending Designing Places and Spaces for your next project.”

“My wife and I recently used Designing Spaces & Places to do an apartment for us in Broadbeach. We usually enjoy the luxury of working side by side with designers, as we feel it is easiest to achieve the result we are after. With the borders being closed, we did not have that luxury – and put our trust in Jason and Liliana, who have delivered an amazing result for us. They did the design and installation from start to…

finish, communication was fantastic and the delivery was everything that was promised. We would highly recommend the team whether you are looking for colour & texture, inspiration or a full design and furniture solution.”

“I have worked with Jason and Liliana Madigan on a number of projects over the last 10 years, including Kula Beach Shacks Coolum, Bayshore Bungalows resort in Byron Bay and Elements Byron Bay. The thing I like about DSP is that although they are a smaller supplier they are very competitive on price, stay within budget and deliver on time. They are professional, detail driven and always available to sort out any…

issues to ensure the project stays on track to completion. It is this personalised service that sets them apart from larger suppliers. I would have no hesitation in recommending Designing Spaces and Places to any prospective clients and I will continue to work with them on future projects.

“Hi Lili, What can I say, an absolutely amazing job!!! You and Jason hit the nail on the head and it’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with you both and we still can’t believe it, it’s beautiful. Jordy and I have been walking from room to room, looking at the little detail and taking it in. The wallpaper is a hit too, really makes the areas, so unbelievably happy. Thank you so very much! Callum and Jordy.”

“We had the pleasure of meeting these guys when we purchased a new off the plan apartment complex known as Silver Shore Apartments on the Broadwater approx. 6 years ago. We along with the developer gave them the brief that we were looking for a light, modern, sophisticated, beachy theme and they came back with exactly that, the finished product was fantastic, we had 50 installed in 1st block with…

a further 30 a few weeks later.

Jason has an excellent knowledge of his field and is always available to meet his valued clients at the drop of a hat.

We also own the Marrakesh apartments and we are in the process of refurbishing all our apartments. Jason has come up with an excellent modern Moroccan theme which really suits our building. Once again we are really happy. 

He communicates well with his clients and is very mindful of time frames; he has an excellent work ethic.

With regards to the products they supplied to us at both venues, these are of excellent quality and at an affordable price.

We have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone as we know you will not be disappointed.”

Pellicano has chosen to work with Designing Spaces and Places on numerous projects over for almost 5 years and have never been disappointed. We have engaged DSP to do various types of furniture packages, from luxury sales display suites and rooftop recreation areas to investment grade furniture packages.

From an operations perspective, Jason is extremely easy to deal with…

and very accommodating. Communication is always swift, deadlines achieved, and budgets managed. The entire process from engagement to design and installation is managed by DSP, which is invaluable when delivering large scale projects.  

Liliana’s designs are perfectly suited to the interior style with high quality furnishings and never one in the same. There is careful consideration to all pieces of furniture selected and alternatives offered when required.

I would highly recommend Designing Spaces and Places and look forward to continuing to work with both Jason and Liliana.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with the team from Design Spaces and Places, Liliana, Jason and Yasmin. From my first meeting with Liliana I knew I had met the best team to work with. I had a vision and everything I said Liliana understood, my brief was Upper Manhattan style apartment. My main concern was due to the size of the apartment I knew it needed something special and also needed the expertise from the best. It was really important that each piece of furniture, artwork, rugs and accessories  were careful selected and were right for the space.  After our initial first brief Liliana presented to me a draft with a complete turn the key package, it was stunning and exactly as I had imagined . Ww had a few more meetings to finalise details and from there she took me out of my comfort zone and we went with wallpaper, chandelier and art lighting .
On the day of installation when I first walked in and saw my apartment I am not embarrassed to say I had a leaky eye, wow oh wow. It was everything I imagined and more. I could not have done this without Liliana Jason and the lovely Yasmin. The whole process from the first meeting to installation has been so professional and so stress free.  I highly recommend using the dream team Design Spaces and Places to bring your dreams to reality .

“We fortuitously bumped into Liliana after viewing a demonstration apartment similar to the one we had purchased. We agreed to meet with her and listen to her design ideas. We were highly impressed with her proposals which provided us with an innovative layout to optimise the limited space available. The furnishings proposed created the fresh and relaxed look we were seeking.

 

Installation presented many challenges for Liliana and Jason. They and their support team responded magnificently. All challenges were methodically addressed and resolved. The result is outstanding. 

 

We trusted Liliana and Jason to bring our new apartment to life and they certainly delivered.”

We hired the Spaces and Places team to fit out our new apartment at the Pearl on Main beach. They were great to work with in coming up with the design and the mock up pictures they provided made things easy to visualise.  We are very happy with the results and would use them again.  My wife was just saying the other day that she loves the bed that was suggested and that I should pass on our thanks again.
