Randwick Renovation
Location: Randwick, Sydney Australia Completed: 2022
This delightful 3 bedroom apartment in Randwick had been a rental property for over 15 years and was in need of a full cosmetic renovation. Simpson Interiors liaised with their international client remotely and actively managed to the project in order to achieve this transformation. The brief was to ensure a timeless aesthetic was achieved throughout and for each space to emanate a welcoming, calming & inviting feeling. Warm earthy tones can be found in the travertine look tiles, laminate timber flooring & wool buckwheat carpet. Whilst soft grey and white can be found in tiles, paint colours & window coverings to freshen and elevate each room. We also re-designed the layout of the main bathroom to improve it's functionality by including a separate bath and a shower.
Client Testimonial
"To say that this renovation would not have happened without Sarah is an understatement. It truly wouldn’t and it was on time and no hidden costs etc - Brilliant. I am so grateful and as I walk around the home every part of her design and influence is evident.
So here are a few aspects of working with Sarah which made this come together and be perfectly executed:
1. Sarah listens. Sarah took the time to understand what I like and don’t like. She listened and heard. I showed her ideas of what I liked and Sarah was able to turn those into brilliant designs.
2. So professional, creative, innovative and with a pragmatism that made things happen in style! Sarah provided options in all the designs and we worked through these together to achieve the end results.
3. Her ability to source a diverse range of products and the benefit of gaining a trade discount saved so much. In addition, due to her range of contacts, all the required items were available. In one case where the sink for the laundry/powder rook would have been delayed, instead of saying it was delayed, Sarah offered options which were available immediately.
4. Project management is a critical and most applauded strength of Sarah's. These types of projects require juggle timelines, trends professional as well as, actually the owner. Every person who Sarah brought into the project, was as professional as she was; whether it was the providers of carpets, window fittings, curtains and blinds. It is clear that each of the groups of people Sarah works with are professionals and produced great results, all to her plans.
5. Sarah is with you every step of the way. Her client focus and client satisfaction shine through in every call, visit and extended beyond the completion of work. Sarah is exceptionally responsive and supportive as well as being proactive.
6. Sarah helped solve any challenges along the way. A great example was when we discovered there was an external building issue (not related to the renovation) It required changing the project plan, time line and how we would complete the work in the lounge room whilst accommodating other deadlines and our moving in to the property. And it just happened.
Thank you Sarah."
before & after
In preparation for the owner's transition from rental to personal residence, our client's property underwent a comprehensive cosmetic renovation. With over 15 years of being utilised as a rental, the transformation was essential. Interior designer and founder of Simpson Interiors, Sarah, in close collaboration with our international client, managed the project remotely, ensuring a seamless execution. The objective was to achieve a timeless aesthetic throughout, while instilling a sense of welcome, tranquillity, and warmth in each space. This vision was accomplished through the careful selection of materials, such as travertine-look tiles, laminate timber flooring, and wool buckwheat carpet, which exude earthy tones. Soft shades of grey and white were incorporated into tiles, paint colours, and window coverings, lending a refreshing and elevated ambiance to every room. Additionally, the layout of the main bathroom was redesigned to enhance its functionality, including the addition of a separate bath and shower. The end result is a beautifully transformed property that radiates an inviting and serene atmosphere, aligning perfectly with the client's aspirations for their new home.
