Colour Counsel

Jill project managed the renovation of a bathroom for us and provided advice and assistance with a kitchen renovation and setup of a possible airbnb area. We are very happy with the results and have no hesitation in highly recommending her services. She sourced high quality fittings, fixtures and tradespeople and ensured that everything ran smoothly. She listened to our ideas and incorporated our thoughts and ideas as well as helping to make sure of great outcomes. She managed to take the stress out of the process!! Jill genuinely cares about her customers and producing excellent results.

I was very overwhelmed with how I was going to renovate my whole unit in my preferred decorating style to a set budget. Without having to say too much, Jill very quickly understood my needs and preferred decorating style. She is very knowledgeable and she was happy to incorporate my ideas into her plans. She was able to assist me with paint colour choices, lighting, blinds and shutters, carpet, floating floors and furniture. She also chose the most amazing exposed brick wallpaper and a New York City skyline mural which I feel is the highlight of my renovation. She has many contacts and she was able to source a lot of items that I wouldn't have been able to get myself. On top of being such a talented interior designer, she is also a really nice person. She was very approachable and easy to contact and she was happy to work within my budget to ensure that I didn't overspend. The whole process was very enjoyable and stress free. All of my friends and family are very impressed with what she has created. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and would definitely recommend her

I was rather overwhelmed with all the colour choices I had to choose from for my new kitchen. I contacted Jill and she was extremely helpful .What seemed to take me hours and far too many sample pots, together we chose my wall colour with in 30 mins. She takes into consideration different light throughout the day and how colour changes as the day progresses. The result is beautiful. Jill has a keen eye for styling a space without it becoming over the top. I would definitely recommend Jill to anybody who needed some help in getting their project to completion.

Jill from Colour Counsel was fantastic. Her designs were innovative, exciting and practical. Jill is a delight to work with and was complemented by an excellent team of trades who did wonderful work. Jill was always happy to listen to our ideas and worked within our budget without compromising on style. It was not an easy brief - turning a garage and loft into a stylish apartment - but she did it! We are so happy with the results! Thank you Jill!

We did a full renovation of our house which included all new walls, windows and flooring. We contacted Jill to give us advice on matching the colours of our carpet and flooring(which we had purchased) to the colour we were going to paint the walls/ceiling. Jill listened to what our desired outcome was, took into account our floor coverings and then advised us on what to paint the walls and ceilings. She created a wonderful look that made the look of the house flow perfectly. Jill also advised us on changes we should make to the curtain colours and style. These changes also worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Jill to all who wish a great outcome for their home.

We were delighted with Jill's designs and recommendations. Our rooms look much better than we ever imagined they would. Her selected paint colours have really added character to our rooms. She very quickly understood our needs and preferred decorating style. Always reliable and punctual, Jill had a great understanding of interior design. She had a variety of contacts for goods and services such as art work, curtains and upholstery. We found Jill to be very friendly and approachable. We would engage her again and we would feel comfortable to recommend her services to others.

Jill is extremely organised and professional in her approach to the renovations for my home. Jill uncluttered my thinking regarding items which will add value and priorities the project. I now have the confidence to proceed with the colours and changes to modernise my home. The exterior is now underway. Dated timber finishes are now a beautiful combination of modern grey tones complimented by floor tiles (replacing worn outdoor carpets) to completely transform the external balconies from lounge and bed rooms. The interior of my split level home will be transformed once I implement the changes Jill recommended. In particular, to bring more light into the centre of my home by changing brick feature walls and window coverings. Thanks Jill for your counsel and guidance your knowledge and experience has already shone though to add value to my home.

Jill provides outstanding service. She is very friendly and approachable and knows her stuff. I am a return customer, we have worked together to choose paint colours, furniture and decor. She takes the time to listen to her clients and delivers what is asked, always with a smile.

Jill provided excellent advice throughout the project and we were very happy with the result. She was a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to employ her services again when next we embark on renovations. What I particularly liked was that she was professional and offered options and alternatives and focused on what we wanted and our needs. At no stage did we feel rushed and she was always responded in a timely fashion to our SMS and email messages.

Over the last 5 years we have had the pleasure of working with Jill many times. As renovation experts we offer Jill’s service to help our clients create a personalised and cohesive look. On first meeting Jill it is evident what a professional she is, her expertise in design and colour is invaluable. Jill is able to provide our clients with plenty of ideas but also incorporate their own ideas to bring together that special look with a minimum of fuss. We have no hesitation in recommending Jill’s services and will continue to use her expertise in the future.

After deciding that our 20 year old home needing revamping, and not knowing where to start, we contacted Jill Barker from Colour Counsel who had been recommended from a family member, and we are so grateful we did!! From our initial meeting where Jill suggested colour schemes both inside and out, window dressings, furniture options, carpet and wall art, Jill had some great ideas as to how we could bring it all together. Jill is a complete professional, who was always contactable, was aware of the budget we were working with, and understood the style we were trying to achieve. With her warm friendly nature its been an absolute delight working with Jill, and as our redecoration nears completion we couldn’t be happier. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jill for your next project.
