“Right from our initial phone call contact Lisa made us feel comfortable and listened to our ideas and thoughts. Lisa’s vision and concept drawings clearly demonstrated that she understood how we wanted our apartment to look and function. The whole process of design, choice of colours and materials was done with an excellent attention to detail and creativity. Lisa was able to source our flooring, curtains, cabinetry and lighting and then help us with the final styling features. Working with Lisa was an absolute pleasure as she was so professional. Not a day goes by when we don’t say “Wow – how great does this look!” Thankyou Lisa for helping us achieve our vision. We would highly recommend Lisa as an interior designer and decorator. ”

“For some time, we had been wanting to redecorate our home and were completely overwhelmed by the thought! In the end, we decided to seek the support of an interior decorator and came across House of Allure Interiors & Design via a Google search. An immediate response via phone from Lisa, where she identified the process she uses, helped to alleviate many of the fears and anxiety we had about undertaking a re-decoration. Lisa visited our home, observed closely our existing spaces, sought to understand our family context and how we like to live in the various spaces, and listened attentively to what we thought we would like to see improved. In this way she was able to reflect the essence of our family and tailor the design to suit our needs. Lisa took into consideration our budget and worked with incorporating some of our existing furniture, leaving more of our budget to spend on other items. From there, Lisa worked her magic and provided us with clear, concept plans and costings which we were able to review, offering some suggestions and feedback. Her attention to details was obvious throughout this process. Lisa co-ordinated much of the ordering of furniture, lighting, art and home decor from an wide range of sources, all of which are high quality and significantly enhance our living spaces. Lisa’s focus for our home was adding colour and texture resulting in our spaces being, and feeling, unique, welcoming with greater character and warmth. At all times Lisa was outstanding to collaborate with, her work was carefully considered, creative and inspiring and of exemplary quality. I highly recommend Lisa and House of Allure Interiors and Design.”

“When we met Lisa our house needed renovating badly. I had a vague idea of what might look good in our home, but had no idea where to start except to go with neutral colours and matching furnishings for a ‘safe’ look. (Boring!) I badly wanted to be more bold and take a chance on colour and style as we have a magnificent view over the hills, so I wanted to create the ‘wow’ factor- but was very nervous about making the wrong choices. When we hired Lisa she was met with a run-down, decrepit 70s/80s kitchen, walls in the wrong places, none of the flooring from the kitchen to the lounge/dining and hallways matched, the walls were odd colours and the whole area was a mess. Lisa looked at the whole space and drew up some plans, then created an animated graphic design video showing us her ideas for the renovations and furnishings. This included knocking walls out, a brand new kitchen, floors, art wall, new lounge, dining table and chairs, bar area and accessories like rugs, lamps etc. She envisioned an incredible open-plan kitchen/dining space with flowing floors, amazing storage, gorgeous furnishings, colour that popped everywhere you looked- and with her concept of bringing ‘outside in’ she has enhanced our views and made the whole area a stunning, stylish, one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Now that it is completed I’ve gone from living in an embarrassing mess to my dream home. And as an added bonus there are the compliments as soon as people enter our gorgeous new front door- they all open their eyes wide and say ‘Wow!’. Every single person has commented on how incredible it looks and the house now has that designer flair that Lisa told me she was going to create. I feel almost guilty that people think it was me that did it all! Lisa’s style is very unique and stylish, she has an excellent vision and the best thing you can do is to trust it, you wont be disappointed. She’s easy to work with and very patient when it comes to the nitty gritty of getting a look together that is just perfect for her client. Thank you so much Lisa! I plan to book House of Allure for our downstairs area soon!”

“I have engaged Lisa’s services several times now. I found House of Allure through a google search and I was impressed by Lisa the very first time we met. I found her to be calm and confident along with an ability to listen to my needs and wants and then easily translate that into a style and plan that I could never have envisaged, but totally loved. Initially she helped to redecorate/rearrange our home that we had recently downsized into with furniture that I thought just wasn’t working. She helped me to make those pieces work by incorporating fresh lighting, curtains and rugs. Simple things that were easily achieved on a smaller budget. We engaged Lisa again when we were selling that property to freshly style it to make it more attractive and easier to sell. We achieved a quick sale with an excellent result, and believe we have Lisa to partly thank for that. Finally, Lisa has just finished helping me style and decorate our new home. Although I had chosen a specific décor style, I wasn’t sure exactly what I needed or how to bring everything together. However, Lisa’s advice and assistance has helped me turn “just a house” into a home that has flair, is inviting and comfortable and contributes to our lifestyle in a positive way. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa whether you have a small or large budget. With her professionalism, experience and intuitiveness for what you want/need – you can’t go wrong!”

“We loved working with Lisa! From start to finish, she worked tirelessly to create a home we love living in. Each space is impeccably designed and furnished. Importantly, our home reflects our personalities and our unique taste. Highly recommend House of Allure to anyone looking for inspiration to style their home.”
Takako Oue – Netherby SA
“Lisa did such a great job on my place! She had the difficult task of working with furniture my previous designer had already bought. She really pulled everything together and created such a lovely space in our home. Having had a bad experience with another designer, Lisa was so pleasant and professional to deal with. Everything was stress free. Highly recommend Lisa.”

``Not having the confidence to go it alone, we were seeking a professional design consultant who could guide our colour choices, decorating selections and renovation ideas. We wanted our home to be a sophisticated, light, airy space with well-coordinated and blended rooms. We put our trust in the House of Allure Interiors & Design to lead us through a daunting process for paint, blinds, carpet and décor items etc. Lisa’s integrated plan gave us the confidence to move forward and invest in our living spaces, incorporating our own pieces together with new additions that we could not possibly imagine sourcing. The result was a beautiful individual masterpiece for us. We are very happy to recommend Lisa for providing the vision and support that has lifted our home to a whole new level.``
Andrea White – Upper Sturt SA
“I wanted to update the look of my main living area but didn’t quite know where to start. A friend had recently used Lisa’s services and I thought the finished product was amazing. I met with Lisa and she was able to organise a custom built dining table and dining chairs with a fabric she had found for me after working out what I liked to have in my space. Side board, coffee table, sofas and outdoor furniture were soon selected after Lisa had sourced them for me. She listened to everything I had to say and was able to get me exactly what I didn’t know I needed. My completed rooms are fantastic and listening to her advice on how to arrange things has led to using the space in different ways. Better ways. I would certainly use Lisa again and cannot recommend her highly enough. ”
Ballast Stone Estate Winery – Currency Creek SA
“In line with the redesign of our wine packaging, we decided our offices and winery cellar door were due for a makeover. Whilst we had in mind the general look we wanted to achieve, we had to bear in mind that whatever we did also needed to be practical, being located at a working winery site. Lisa was recommended to us by Carpet Court and her assistance was invaluable. She organised samples, gave advice and explained the pros and cons of various options we were considering. We were impressed with the time and thought she put in to help us, considering that it was a relatively small job. The tradespeople she organised were very prompt and professional and we are very pleased with the result. We would highly recommend her services.”
Leighton & Carly – Adelaide SA
“Leighton and I were at a crossroads with design. We needed some interior design HELP. We wandered past House of Allure Interiors & Design one day and peering in the window we were instantly inspired by some stunning wallpapers Lisa had on display. We popped in and after a brief discussion with Lisa we knew she was professional and clearly had exceptional eye for design. The very next day we went back into House of Allure to see if she could help with some of our design questions. Lisa did not hesitate and within an hour she had prepared a session for us. That hour spent with Lisa gave us so much confidence, we both walked away in aggreance, Lisa really knows design. Our time spent with her was invaluable. We would recommend her to anyone. Leighton and I strongly believe that we wouldn’t be where we are today without the knowledge we gathered from Lisa that day. Lisa we wish you and House of Allure Interiors & Design all the very best. With your customer service and professionalism, your knowledge of design, your natural flair and your ability to listen to what people need, you WILL SUCCEED. ”

“It has been a pleasure to assign House of Allure to a few of our decorating projects!! Initially we asked Lisa to come up with window coverings for all the conference and wedding spaces. Her tenacity, passion and eye for precision was what impressed us. These rooms are now adorned with beautiful yet practical blinds perfect for their purpose. We were so impressed with the professionalism, ease of grasping our ideas and workmanship involved in this project that we had to bring Lisa on board for sunscreen roller blinds in the restaurant. They are great once again aesthetically pleasing and practical. Even small components are not a hassle for House of Allure. We created a retro chandelier but couldn’t source the red cord needed. Lisa however had that sorted in a timeous fashion. The last installation done by Lisa was the external awning. I had a few concerns as we have strong winds. I should have known by all other accounts that this lady knows what she is talking about. It is once again beautiful, practical, sturdy and definitely stands up to the wind! Thank you Lisa, I am sure our paths will cross again in the very near future!”
Deb Palmer – Middleton SA
“Lisa at House of Allure has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She made overwhelming choices simple and her design as well as technical knowledge assisted us from an aesthetic as well as logistical point of view. We have used House of Allure for floorings and window treatments and Lisa’s ability to see the bigger picture and a concept for our space has assisted us in the direction we have taken in using décor in our new home. I highly recommend Lisa and House of Allure and will continue to turn to them for advice and guidance as we complete our home. ”
Richard May – Hayborough SA
“Three years ago I built a new house and installed window treatments at that time. I was never completely happy with the options I had chosen for my theatre room as too much light was entering and reflecting from the TV surface. I visited House of Allure and discussed my concern with Lisa who presented solutions which resulted in the desirable room blackout. I was impressed with the professional service provided by Lisa and her installer and would recommend her to any homeowner looking for excellent customer service with their decorator requirements.”
Margaret Phillips – Adelaide SA
“From the start, Lisa and I were aligned on the look I had envisioned. Working with her felt like a partnership that flowed. I don’t like giving designer’s free reign on making decisions, which can sometimes be frustrating for both parties. Not so with Lisa. If we weren’t in agreement on an idea she always stayed very positive and was quick to come up with an alternative. As a result, I feel my family room envelopes me with a sense of warmth and charm that I’ve always wanted. Thank you, Lisa, you are a delight to work with. With love and gratitude, Margaret.”
