I cannot recommend Tonia from An Interior Thing highly enough. From the beginning, she listened carefully to what I wanted and brought so much knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail to the process.

She went above and beyond at every stage-creating multiple room concepts for me to choose from, sourcing the perfect pieces (every single one is spot on) while keeping me updated at all times.

Her communication is clear and professional-invoices were always on time and easy to understand, and she made what could have been a stressful process so enjoyable and exciting!

Tonia has transformed my home into a space my family and I will truly love.
If you’re looking for an interior designer who really listens and delivers exceptional results, look no further.
Tonia is incredible!

Tonia has been amazing from the start. She immediately understood our I am getting ready to put my 4 bedroom home on the market and desperately needed help refurnishing the Livingroom. With her wonderful sense of style, Tonia has helped me fully furnish and accessorise the Living Room, as well as adding special touches needed in the other rooms throughout the rest of the house. While Tonia is professional and has great attention to detail, she is warm and very easy to work with. I am delighted to have found her.

Tonia has been amazing from the start. She immediately understood our style, accommodated with our tastes/preferences and came up with a design that has brought everything together! Highly recommend her, she is responsive, takes a lot of the guess work in decision fatigue and really has enhanced the look of our home. Has been a fun experience too!

I am very pleased with the results Tonia had for my apartment. I highly recommend her work.

Tonia from An Interior Thing was a pleasure to work with. We engaged her services for the interior design of our 3 bed, 2 bath home. Tonia created a beautiful & cohesive space, that’s very functional as well as being and kid-friendly. Tonia is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Tonia really helped us bring our vision to life and kept us on track. She was always available for questions and worked with us in a collaborative capacity taking into account our taste and ideas. Tonia was always honest when she felt like something wouldn’t work and we are really happy with the results! Her rates are reasonable and transparent which we appreciated.

Overall a very positive experience with Tonia. Tonia designed, organised, and managed a full house renovation including wardrobes, bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry. We moved out and everything was done in 12 weeks. She also chose furniture, decorations, and artwork for us which we’re very happy with. – The whole home has a consistent feel and style, which I wouldn’t have been able to achieve myself. – Project management completely taken care of, including back and forth with numerous tradespeople – The builder she uses, Goran, is extremely good. He really goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. As an example, he hand mixed paint and silicone for an exact colour match to our window frames. – The joinery company she uses was also extremely good. All our joinery, of which we got a lot, has a very premium feel.

Tonia managed our renovation and styling project well. She developed a plan in a very clear manner. Tonia and her team (builders, etc) were also very good. She was very organised, approachable and reliable. She gave good suggestions which helped transform our home.

Having never used a designer before we were nervous about the process. Upon meeting with Tonia we realised all our concerns were unfounded. From our first meeting, Tonia listened to what we were hoping to achieve and guided us from concept to selection of items and to completion. Tonia organised everything from trades to suppliers. We were given options that we never would have considered, and the final result is a beautiful home that we love. The whole process has been a very positive experience, and we can’t thank Tonia enough. We would highly recommend Tonia from An Interior Thing.

We had Tonia from An Interior Thing to our apartment to help with ideas for a full renovation. She had great ideas, designed a kitchen, bathrooms, living room, laundry and 3 bedrooms. She measured and advised us on products to suit our budget, helped us with colours, organised quotes and suggested builders. Saved us lots of time. We now have a beautiful 3-bedroom apartment over in the lower north shore.
