We hired Melanie at Elixir Interior to help us transform the ground floor of our Victorian terraced house into a space in which our family would love hanging out together.

After spending time understanding our design tastes, Melanie came back with designs that were both functional and beautiful. She worked with us and our contractor through the build, keeping the stress out of the design implementation for us.

Melanie nailed the warm mid-century look that we were after. Each room has its own personality yet there is a consistent feel throughout. We love it!

We were completely in the dark about which way to go for the interior design of our hairdressing salon. The team at Elixir listened to all of our hopes and ideas and came up with three very different design concepts to choose from. They kept in close contact with us from our very first meeting right the way through to finalizing our chosen concept, particularly with regards to budget, sourcing of materials, contacts and deadlines.

Every aspect of the design service was utterly professional. I would not hesitate to use them again for other projects and will definitely be recommending them to others.

A modern office needs to be a home from home these days to ensure a team are equally happy to be in the office.

WORKING WITH MELANIE WAS A TRULY COLLABORATIVE FUN AND JOYFUL EXPERIENCE where she helped us design and realise a vision for our future office space with great attention to detail.

Her network of suppliers fast tracked our office renovation and provided great value for money.

Elixir was introduced to us by friends who were very excited by Mel’s creative energy and transformation of their seafront flat.

She helped us with our massive Georgian townhouse renovation, GENTLY GUIDING US AWAY FROM SAFE AND TRADITIONAL TO A REALLY RELAXING AND BEAUTIFUL HOME.

She was equally helpful as sounding board for our evolving ideas and keeping us focussed on the themes we originally wanted.

Melanie was great, totally got my vision before we’d even met and CAME TO OUR APPOINTMENT WITH HEAPS AND HEAPS OF IDEAS AND SAMPLES THAT WERE TO MY TASTE AND REALLY HELPED SOLIDIFY MY VISION.

It felt great to have someone to talk ideas through with and who came armed with lots of local suppliers too. I’m planning to spend a lot on a remodelling project and want the finished space to look well put together, to my taste and worth the investment. With Melanie by my side I know I can achieve that!’

Mel’s wisdom and experience are unparalleled.

We had completed two different projects with Elixir Interior Design. They had shown exemplary skill and proficiency and delivered our apartments as attractive and cozy as it can be.

IT WAS BEYOND WHAT WE EXPECTED AND ENVISAGED.

We wish Elixir and Melanie all the very best for all their future endeavours. To add to it.. another notable feature is the willingness of Team Elixir to assume and impart such responsibilities that are beyond their scope, that the situation may demand during the progress of any project, which I think is an unparalleled and unique feature of Elixir Interior Design.
