"They are imaginative and collaborative and have produced magnificent results..."

"It has been a great pleasure working with Rachel and Janice over the last 18 years.  In that time they have designed and decorated houses, apartments, cinemas, office work spaces, theatres, indoor pools and studio spaces.  They have a tremendous depth of experience, which includes working with wood and stone, textiles, ceramic tiles, metal, plaster and mosaics. Their understanding of colour and light is in our opinion, second to none. 

Rachel and Janice have designed and redecorated  Victorian,  Arts and Crafts,  Mid Century Modern and contemporary interiors to a very high standard.   They are imaginative and collaborative and have produced magnificent results! 

We have no hesitation in recommending them to future clients."

 - Fran Walsh and Peter Jackson

”Without exception those are our favourite spaces in our home”

“Design Counsel advised on a number of interior spaces in our villa renovation. Without exception, those are our favourite spaces in our house. They are particularly good at recognising where quality is needed, and where a cheaper alternative will suffice. The result is always great value.”

Kath Jones and Dave Long

“It is looking absolutely lovely”

“I was thinking of moving from my inner city apartment but wanted to see if making improvements would make me feel happy to stay. DC made changes to my living spaces including custom made joinery and renovated my bathroom - it worked, I stayed! An awesome result, its looking absolutely lovely.”
