Testimonials

A little something from the clients we have worked with. Their words and gestures of appreciation are the truest form of motivation.

The LaVie team were amazing to work with. Kim and Katerina have a great eye for design and detail and from the moment we met them we knew they would help us turn our new house into a home we could be proud of. They were able to define our style and ensure it flowed cohesively from the exterior to the interior. Nothing was ever too much trouble, they consistently went above and beyond our expectations. We have no hesitations in recommending LaVie and we will definitely utilise their services in the future

Hanna was extremely helpful in assisting us with our choices. I can’t thank her enough! We went from the consult straight to the tile store and finalized our tile choices. I went with the white splashback tile she had suggested. She really put my mind at ease! Thanks again Hanna.

We simply could not have achieved the amazing results of our renovations without Raquel and the team at LaVie Interiors. The design team pushed us to look at styles and combinations that we would never have considered, whilst also taking into account our own preferences, budget and lifestyle... a difficult balance for sure! Raquel was extremely patient with our uncertainty and occasional indecision and was a perfect guide through the whole process. Our friends and family constantly comment on how fantastic the house looks and I would not hesitate to use LaVie's services again for any future interior design work.

I wandered into the beautiful new shop on Canning Highway and left with an appointment with an Interior Decorator – Katerina. I was a little concerned before the first visit because Katerina is much younger than me – in fact younger than my adult children. But working with a young person became a delightful experience because of her knowledge and professionalism and I looked forward to her visits. Katerina’s suggestions were perfect. She allowed me time to mull over the choice of two curtain fabrics. She listened to my concerns about the height of curtain rails. She suggested a beautiful coloured lining on a separate rail to give good sun protection to the rooms. Wooden shutters were fitted to two windows in the family room and curtains to the other two windows in the same large room. The two different window treatments are a lovely choice. Wooden shutters fitted to the front windows of the house have made a great street front improvement. Katerina understood the need for me to be realistic with pricing and not over capitalise on the house. I am happy to recommend the service given.

We loved every part of our experience with Windows Couture. There was a great selection of fabrics to choose from and the staff were always very helpful, contactable and cheerful. We’ve now had our curtains for a year and did not hesitate to go back for the coverings on the last few windows. There have been no issues with the curtains which are exactly what we had hoped for and more. Katerina did a great job of working within our budget and delivered a quality product that we still can’t believe we are lucky enough to have.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kim and the LaVie team since 2013 on numerous projects for both the Brian Burke and Refined Edge brand. From a highly detailed three year project to a simple eight hour colour selection I know I can rely upon Kim to be researched and prepared for each meeting. Kim has a knack for putting the client at ease and really understanding what it is they would like to achieve for their project. I know I can trust Kim to strive for the best for our client making her always a pleasure to work with.

Kim and her fantastic team have been involved with Grand Cru as Interior Designers for our beautiful homes for a number of years now. The LaVie Team have provided excellent advice in all areas of design, such as the selection of complimentary finishes to our exterior facades, internal designs and feature elements to the interior of our homes and even assisting with on-trend furniture selections. Kim has also proven herself to be skillful at identifying architectural changes which have significantly improved our homes. She is extremely knowledgeable concerning high-end, custom finish work and she has surrounded herself with a competent and professional team.

We are pleased to have used Windows Couture for our new curtains. Katerina was very professional and had some really great ideas, as well as always being punctual and well-prepared. The curtains are well made and hang beautifully, really enhancing the rooms in which they hang. Thank you!

I found LaVie Interiors very professional, friendly and helpful. Raquel and Tahlia were great. They helped me bring together all the thoughts and ideas that were in my head. I found the process of building a home very confusing and hard to make clear decisions. Talking to the girls was as if they could read my mind and give me the advice I needed to make right and confident decisions. I am now very excited to see our finished home.

I cannot recommend Windows Couture enough. I've had a very positive experience with Kat. She is very pleasant to deal with, was very accommodating and has an absolutely wonderful taste and great knowledge in her field. I was undecided for a very long time viewing sheer fabric samples for my curtains. One day Kat came and visited and brought a beautiful selection of samples based on what I had described to want to achieve and the colour palette of my home. We selected one together. She gave me some really good suggestions which I hadn't thought of. Within the time-frame she promised the curtains were ready and installed seamlessly and professionally. The result was beyond what I had hoped for and I receive compliments from everyone visiting our home. The process was smooth and extremely pleasant from start to finish. The only regret is that I didn't go with one of her suggestions (due to budget limitations at the time) but it's something I could add/update at any stage. Overall, I highly recommend Windows Couture. Can't flaw them in anyway.

We contacted LaVie Interiors to help us with our owner build. Raquel & Tahlia have been fantastic from our first meeting to the last. It was as if our design was as important to them, as it was for us, gently guiding us in making the right choices for the style we wanted to achieve. With their vast knowledge of all aspects of interior and exterior design, it has been stress-free throughout the whole process of our build

Katerina’s direction in curtain style, fabric choice and furnishings helped me achieve the look I was after for our renovations. Each time I open the curtains, I appreciate the quality of the finish. The theatre room looks amazing with the luxurious look and is practical with the addition of the bumph lining. Well worth the cost. I love our bedroom curtains the most though. The versatility allows the right amount of light and privacy during the day. Well done and thanks!
