Marina Hirst Interiors

Marina created the most beautiful room. We couldn’t be happier. I trusted her and she didn’t disappoint. Catherine wilson

We found Marina after reading a number of the reviews here on this site and, given she was highly regarded by previous customers, we chose her to help us with a renovation of our house which included a new kitchen, flooring, and additional storage space, especially for the kids' bedrooms. Now that everything is finished, we have to say we couldn't be happier. Yes, renovating was a painful process with tradespeople coming and going at our place for about four months, but Marina handled the process with a great deal of competence and, importantly for us, left us with the confidence that we were always in good hands. In fact, there is no way in the world we could have managed such a project by ourselves given the amount of coordination that was required to have certain tradespeople at the site on particular dates and at particular times. We both work and it would have been impossible to pull this off without Marina's help. We can't recommend Marina highly enough. She was extremely engaged the whole time and kept communication channels open with us via phone, email and regular visits to discuss progress. There are so many things that can go wrong with a renovation and we thought it essential therefore to have someone watch over the work. The tradespeople she chose -- painting, electrical, flooring, kitchen cabinets, etc -- were all trusted people that she has come to know from her years in the industry and this, again, was something that was very reassuring for us. How would we even know where to find a reputable cabinet maker, or electrician for example, to know that we're going to get a quality job done and with quality customer service? Marina's contacts, therefore, make her a valuable partner in any renovation you might be considering. Would we choose Marina again? Absolutely. We have more work planned in the years ahead and we'll certainly be inviting her back to discuss stages two and three of our renovation. Quite simply, if you want peace of mind that you'll get a good job done at a fair price, then Marina won't let you down. Her interior design is incredible too and there were a few times when we thought 'How is that colour scheme going to work?' until we saw it come together. Yes, she knows what she's doing! We're extremely pleased with the increased functionality and modernisation of our house and you'll be pleased with her approach and genuine interest that she will show towards you. Thank you Marina!

We engaged Marina to renovate all of our living areas to reflect our desire for a warm and practical home for our young family with a focus on functionality and practicality. Marina worked tirelessly to fully understand our brief and to deliver a range of high quality products for our home. Marina's natural talent, flair for styling, attention to detail and commitment to the project was exceptional. Marina was always easily contactable and responded to our questions/requests diligently and promptly. Marina was responsive to our needs and worked within our budget. She was a delight to work with. We cannot recommend Marina highly enough for your next project.

My Husband and I had a very enjoyable experience with Marina Hirst Interiors. -always contactable -flexible to change -creative and full of great ideas -reliable and on time Never gives up to find the best-suited product for you!!

I contacted Marina for help with bringing over a large amount of furniture from my previous French inspired home to my new Queenslander home. I had had consultations with many other interior designers but no one was able to fulfil the brief, then I found Marina and knew I had found the interior designer to transform my home. After consultation with Marina, she provided a detailed and beautiful collaboration of mood boards that hit the brief perfectly. She took the time to listen to my wants and needs and create the rooms specifically around these ideas. Marina work tirelessly to make our house a "home" and recycled as much of our furniture as possible which we were thrilled about. The end result was breathtaking. Marina and her team had transformed our home and on return from an overseas holiday, we were blown away with the overall results. I would highly recommend Marina if you are after someone who is passionate, true and dedicated. Marina will find the heart and soul of you and your family and replicate it in your home.

Marina's brief was to create a warm and welcoming environment that would inspire and create a sense of peace and wellness for a family with 2 primary school boys. Marina clearly understood the brief and worked with both budget and space constraints together with existing pieces to create a haven that is both truly enjoyed as well as having the 'wow' factor. She well and truly acheived the objectives of the brief as well as objectives I didn't realise I had! Marina provided well thought out storyboards to make the decision making process incredibly painless, renovated special pieces so they could be used and came up with innovative ideas that demonstrated her unrivalled expertise. Moreover, Marina was a delight to work with, very responsive, met all deadlines and obviously has good relationships with her suppliers. My expectations of what we could acheive in the space with our constraints were completely blown away. She is a true professional and I look forward to using her again on my next project.

We've been working with Marina Hirst Interiors for over 2 years now on both the ongoing project of updating our Queenslander home as well as the interior fit-out of the corporate office where I work. Over this time, Marina has taken the time to gain a complete understanding of our personal styles and requirements. Her knowledge, experience and access to suppliers globally has expanded our tastes and opened our minds to themes and styles that we would previously have never considered. Marina has been able to completely transform rooms whilst working within a budget. Marina's communication style always accommodates her clients' needs and her attention to detail, focus on service and responsiveness has meant that every project she's worked on for me has been completed on time and has exceeded expectations! I cannot recommend Marina highly enough.

I wanted to bring some life into my living room/dining room by recovering the existing furniture. I am so pleased I chose Marina Hirst for the project. Marina is a delightful person who really gets to know you and what you want. Marina's choice of color and fabric have certainly fulfilled my objective. Her attention to detail with the trim and cushions really give the whole project the "Wow" factor that achieves exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Marina Hirst Interiors...you won't be disappointed!
