“I see in you something special that I have only ever seen in a very few people. That is the pure love for what you do.” – R.Oliver
“We were so lucky to have Alana guide us through the daunting task of choosing everything that we required for our bathroom and ensuite renovation. Her ability to interpret our style and her amazing eye for detail, resulted in two gorgeous bathrooms. When Alana mentioned that she was an interior designer, we knew that we had struck gold! We immediately booked her to help us with the daunting task of choosing paint colours for the whole house. She has a natural ability to envisage what would look great, and we were thrilled with the result. Our home looks amazing now, and that’s all thanks to Alana. Her professional manner, along with her easy going nature, made her a delight to work with. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks so much Alana.” – S.Swaby
“I am extremely pleased with the way that my renovation turned out and would highly recommend Alana O Interiors to anyone! Working with Alana was like working with a friend, she was respectful and interested in my ideas, she challenged my thinking and took me on a different path to achieve some of the things that I was wanting within my style wishes and within my budget. I would have played it safe had I been renovating alone but with her help I was able to create a house that I am proud of and her ideas really made my 3×1 house into a home with a relaxed beachside feel. I had 3 rooms done, the laundry, living and bathroom. The results far exceeded my expectations and Alana worked well within our budget. Her attention to detail was impeccable and she was extremely easy to work with. I paid a little more for the full service package but wow… it was great value for money for the time, effort and work put into it and definitely worth spending that little bit extra! I would highly recommend Alana and will definitely work with her again in the future. I am so happy with the end result.” – E.Gerloff
“I have recently asked Alana to help me with my newly built property to create some character and warmth. Within a short amount of time it was obvious Alana was creative, accomplished and confident to help change our plain newly built house into our family home. We have been so impressed with Alana’s creativity we have completed all her suggestions already and will be asking for further help again in the future with other areas of our home. I would recommend Alana to everyone!” – K.Ahearn
“Alana is a true professional – and an absolute natural! We had seen her amazing work on a family member’s house and were totally blown away. Her out of the box thinking was totally inspiring and transformed their house. It was a natural choice to get a colour consult for our new build and Alana worked her magic even though the house wasn’t yet finished and the consult done offsite. The colours look absolutely amazing and we love how Alana worked with our previous choices, listened to our ideas and weaved her magic! Would highly recommend this company for the excellent work and high level of professionalism.” – J.Green
“We had Alana help us with 2 new interior renovation projects over the past 12 months. We completely stripped several rooms and created a whole new look. What a delight to work with, she certainly has a talent, she knew we wanted an earthy feel to our new rooms, and was very enthusiastic in creating the decor we wanted. Alana makes you feel at ease with her warm friendly personality. Nothing is too much trouble for her, with her excellent eye for colours and where she keeps herself up to date with the current trends in designs she gets a feel for what you want then presents you with no end of choices.Should any one want any help with their designs we would thoroughly recommend Alana O Interiors.” – O’Meagher
“I found out about Alana O Interiors through the Houzz website. I really liked her previous work so I decided to make contact hoping that I would still feel the same. Alana O Interiors did not disappoint. Her return emails (we were overseas at the time) and consultation really made me feel that she understood our situation and where we wanted to go forward. I loved that she was able to interpret my “design lingo” and was comfortable to put forward her ideas and guide us in the right direction. The 3D drawings that were provided really allowed us to visualise the end result. Nothing ever felt too much hassle and her passion for interior design was infectious. She really treated our house like her own.
My husband and I would not hesitate to use her services again and we cannot recommend her highly enough.” – J.Cuttriss
“Alana, thank you so much for everything you have done, and you have well and truly gone above and beyond what I could have hoped for in a designer. We are very happy with everything and you have done an excellent job in suiting my tastes and that of the rest of the house, and keeping things within cost. It has all been very much appreciated and I have mentioned my positive experience to many friends who are waiting to see the changes. Thanks again” – C. McManis
“Alana did a fantastic job of refurbishing our office. She was a pleasure to work with and handled the renovations professionally, within budget and time restraints. The office has a clean modern feel now and is much more functional. We have had numerous compliments from clients and already have our next project underway with Alana. We would strongly recommend her.” – N. and C. Brand
“Alana worked closely with us to deliver a high-quality and original project. I was extremely impressed that she was able to transform every aspect of our 70s home into a modern master piece. After quickly grasping the look we were after, she quickly compiled a complete design proposal. Alana was so easy to deal with, reasonable prices, understanding and extremely talented. We are so happy with every detail of the finished product, her eye for design and detail is amazing. Thank you!” – L. Donaldson
“After building a house close to twice the size of our previous one, the task of sourcing furniture and décor whilst factoring in our young family’s needs and limited budget, all seemed a bit over whelming……and then I met Alana! From the get go Alana was fantastic. During our first consult she had the patience of a saint and listened and answered the million questions I threw at her and managed to pull together all of our floating ideas, thoughts and needs and promptly produced an amazing style guide (based around Hamptons style). This guide gave us the direction we needed and all the information regarding our different options, suppliers and costs to carry it out and make our new house, an amazing, warm and beautiful home.
During the whole process Alana was a pleasure to deal with. She was punctual, reliable, honest and you could tell she had a real passion for what she did, nothing was ever too much hassle! I would not hesitate to recommend Alana, she is worth her weight in gold!” – R. Wigg
“Alana has a perceptive eye and an easygoing communication style. We hired Select Solutions, a bathroom renovation company Alana works for, to redo our ensuite. Alana helped guide us in our choice of tiles. Though subway tiles are “in” she was respectful of my hatred of cleaning grout and suggested large rectified marble look tiles.The decision over choice colour of cabinetry was overwhelming as I did not want a discord with the flooring and colour from the bedroom. Alana patiently explained how to pull the bathroom look together. The end result makes us smile. I have no hesitation recommending Alana, she will listen to what you want and make suggestions within your budget. In fact, I am going to have her come back so she can inject some style into the rest of the house.” – J.Kenworthy
“Alana has completed the re-designing of my whole house. She listens intently to my ideas and then comes up with something outside of the box that I hadn’t thought of! There was only ever one instance when I wasn’t convinced by a suggestion and she was happy to address my concerns and rethink it – we have developed great rapport. Alana has good communication skills and often goes out of her way to help me. She’s budget-conscious, organised and manages the project timely. She has a way with colour, textiles and spatial arrangements and it’s clear to see her passion for what she does! I look forward to seeing the difference to my home once it’s all finished!” – M.Henderson
“I always found Alana to be reliable, honest, efficient and a pleasure to work with. She always went above and beyond and had the ability to make work not seem like work. You could always sense that Interior Design is something she loves and was born to do.” – J.Fyfe, fellow interior designer
“We hired Select Solutions to renovate our bathroom. We were totally impressed by Alana’s professionalism, she understood our requirements and was able to translate them into our dream bathroom we now have. I would not hesitate to hire Alana again for any of my future projects. Thank you once again, Alana, we love our new bathroom.” – V. and C. Capaldo
