Testimonials

"We recently did a major renovation of our house and consulted with Karin throughout the project regarding exterior and interior colour schemes, as well as finishes and surfaces throughout the house. We are absolutely thrilled with the final result and have received lots of compliments on our house. Karin was able to interpret our requirements and preferences and provide us with a solution that was exactly what we wanted and which suited the location of our house as well as our tastes and budget. Consulting with Karin early in the project saved us lots of time and money and made making important decisions much easier. It has resulted in a well coordinated and consistent look to our house. Karin was also able to recommend suppliers and organise quotes for tiles, blinds and shutters. We are looking forward to continuing to consult with Karin in the future as we furnish and decorate our house. Karin is at all times professional, patient and friendly to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending Karin for any interior or exterior design or colour advice."

"When I bought my new home on Sydney's Northern Beaches I realized that in order to complete it I needed the help of a professional. I had moved from a very different style of home and the task of redecorating was daunting as I was certainly not up to date on the products available or where to access them from. It was then I was introduced to Karin from an excellent recommendation and I never looked back. Karin worked within my budget to bring the best possible result. She worked efficiently, was attentive and allowed me to express my ideas. She is a kind and trustworthy person and has a fantastic list of tradesmen and suppliers that allowed her to conduct the decoration of my home with maximum effect. There is not one fault in what Karin has suggested, trust her - she know's what looks good! I am more than happy with the result."

"After living in my apartment for the past 7 years, I knew it was due for a makeover but I didn't know where to begin nor did I have a lot of spare time to investigate on my own so I decided that a professional Interior Designer was needed. Hiring Karin to give my apartment its much needed facelift was the best decision I made. Karin understood my personal tastes and interests and reflected this in the end result all whilst adhering to a strict budget. Karin also delivered on time and made sure that the work completed was of superior quality and done with minimal delay and hassle whilst I was living there. I have no hesitation in recommending Karin to others. Her professional on time service combined with her fun vibrant personality has made it a delight to know and work with her."

"We’ve recently renovated our house resulting in new window openings for hot summer sun to come streaming through. Even though this is nice visually, we were worried about the damage it was causing to our lovely new wooden floors. So I knew a roller blind was an option for one particular window in our kitchen area. What I didn’t know was who were the reputable suppliers of roller blinds and what were the various features each offered. I spoke to Karin from Atmospheric Living and she immediately came to my rescue. She bought around various samples to our house which she was happy to leave with us so we could view the samples at different times of the day. She answered every single question we had. She provided us with every piece of information we needed in order to make our decision. The roller blind is now fitted and the company she recommended did a fantastic installation and the product matches the quality expectations we had. I would have no hesitation in using Karin’s services again!"

“After extending and renovating our house recently, we were thrilled with the result, but our house was sorely in need of those ‘finishing touches’ that make all the difference to a home.

Fortunately, Karin was on hand to guide us through this final stage and we now have what we consider to be the perfect home for us.

Karin was able to guide and advise us on a colour scheme for our walls and furnishings. Although we had a rough idea of what we wanted, after looking through Karin’s amazingly comprehensive portfolio and listening to her ideas, we were able to explore different concepts which we hadn’t previously considered, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results and what a wonderful effect they have.

Karin’s professional and timely service made dealing with the painters a breeze, and there was never any confusion about the work to be done. The key ring she provided with samples of our colour scheme has proved to be invaluable and remains a constant in my handbag!

Not only has Karin been able to advise and guide us on colour schemes, her attention to detail and the ‘whole effect’ extends to things as small and photo frames and table runners. We have implemented many of her ideas and found them to add just the right touch and feel to our home.

Karin has established a wide and varied supplier base and I have found her help in purchasing accessories for our house at a reasonable price invaluable. She has gone out of her way to help find just the right accessory to match at just the right price to fit in with our budget.

Her enthusiasm for her chosen field is obvious in everything she does, including the quality and standard of her work and the follow-up. She is constantly on the lookout for new products, matching them where appropriate and passing on her ideas, without ever being overbearing.

We are so happy with our home and proud to tell people of Karin’s assistance in its development over the past year. We have no hesitation in recommending Karin for any colour consulting and/or styling, both interior and exterior."

"I have recently completed the task of modernising a “80s palace” with limited budget & no idea where to start. Karin has been the difference in the end result being extraordinary not just acceptable.

The first thing Karin did for us was to help develop a theme that was liveable & met our needs. As I had strong ideas of what I liked but no plan of how things would look & fit together, Karin’s advice and experience was invaluable.

Karin has a fantastic finesse for creating tasteful, liveable spaces that fit the style of the surrounds & incorporate all tastes. Karin has assisted us to source quality products, provided a professional & thorough service whilst adding her immense knowledge to all stages of our transformation.

I cannot express the appreciation we have for Karin & Atmospheric Living as the results are remarkable."
