“We recently had the pleasure of working with Spaces & Places and cannot recommend them highly enough. From our first consultation, Jason and Liliana exhibited a professional and knowledgeable understanding of our style and vision for our new apartment. They took the time to listen to our preferences and provided insightful suggestions that elevated ideas into a stunning reality. We especially love the wallpaper and the ability to adapt the package to suit our needs.
Their project management skills were exemplary and definetely put to the test during the middle of a cyclone!
If you’re looking for a talented and dedicated interior design company to transform your space, look no further than Spaces & Places. They have the unique ability to turn any vision into a beautiful reality, and we are absolutely thrilled with our new apartment.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 anyissues 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“A massive thankyou to Designing Spaces and Places for creating our dream holiday home. It was a tad daunting to be furnishing our property from a different state. Liliana and her team made the entire process seamless, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From our initial meeting I felt that Liliana understood what we were trying to achieve and was always quick to offer solutions in areas where I was happy for some bolder colours. Unfortunately, the odds were really stacked against us with the install due to mother nature (cyclone Alfred). Thank you so much for the way you adapted and persevered given the situation…you really did go above and beyond. The result is a truly beautiful apartment, and we still can’t believe it’s all ours. We can’t wait to enjoy this property together for many years to come. Thank you again and we look forward to working with you all on our future property projects.”

“Liliana made it easy and fuss free when it came to furnishing my apartment (me in Melbourne and her in QLD) and providing me with images made it easy to visualise
I am so happy with the furnishings, bedding and everything else that has gone into my apartment

“Lilliana and Jason from Design spaces and places recently styled our condo. The result was outstanding. My husband and myself have a little different ideas in interior decorating. I am contemporary and my husband is bright and colourful. Designing spaces and places created an inviting sophisticated atmosphere that totally ticked both our boxes. The end result exceeded expectations and contributed to making it feel homely and inviting. We are excited to come home at the end of each day just to take in the ambience of our lovely home. Highly recommended five stars.”

““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.”

““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!”

“We have used Jason and Liliana from Designing Spaces and Places, both professionally and personally. Professionally, furnishing apartments at the Hilton and The Star Hotel on the Gold Coast and other display properties for our clients.
Personally, we have used them at our home in Sorrento and our new home in Amalfi Drive, Isle of Capri. We have always been happy with their design concepts and delivery, and we would have no problem referring them to anybody in the future.”

“Having recently arrived at our apartment that was professionally fitted out by Designing Spaces and Places (Jason and Liliana), we had the WOW factor – so overwhelmed how great it looked. They thought of everything and it was so professionally presented. Nothing was overlooked. Being based in Melbourne and all the interaction being done remotely, their assistance, guidance, design and professionalism was invaluable. Thank you so much.”
