Martina was great to deal with and her plans were beautiful. She was very responsive in her communication and the two sets of plans were great. Everything about the process was transparent and we managed to get the best design for our space.

We're about to renovate our newly acquired home in Greenwich. Martina consulted with us on the internal and external colour scheme and I was very impressed with her professionalism, advice and expertise. Martina displayed a genuine interest in the project and in her own time reviewed the plans with some great advice and comments. I would highly recommend Matina for any works you may be considering.

Martina and her team have been instrumental in the success of our significant renovation project. This has included essentially stripping the house back to its bones, moving staircases and building a wraparound deck.Martina and her team have been handholding us from day one and we literally could not have done it without them. The team are always available and listen intently without impressing opinions forcefully, which is exactly what we needed. A gentle and informed guidance.I thoroughly recommend having Martina and her team as part of your project and cannot speak high enough of the service and value that is offered. It was worth every single cent.

We are in the process of a full house renovation in Lane Cove, including interior wall removal, new deck construction, relocation of the staircase, new kitchen and the renovation of bathrooms.Martina has been an absolute delight to work with. We had no idea where to start with renovating a house. From our first meeting she has guided us throughout the whole process. She has always been generous with her time, scheduling meetings to best suit us. Martina has made well thought out and considered recommendations and was always willing to incorporate our own ideas. Martina (and Chelsea) have guided us with every aspect of the house renovation . From huge decisions such as where to place the stairs, to smaller decisions about where to place towel rails. We never felt pressured or rushed into making any decisions. As we near the end of our renovation, we are beyond thrilled with the result and the choices we have made. We know we would not have acheived this without the help of Martina to create a cohesive look. If you are looking for someone to help guide you with your renovation then look no further. She is professional, knowledgable, warm and friendly. I cannot recommend Martina more highly.

We decided to renovate the bathroom in our 100-year-old home and respect its beautiful Art Deco and Arts and Crafts features while adding a modern feel. We knew we needed a design professional to help us achieve this sensitive balance. Thankfully we found Martina Hayes and look what we achieved. Martina is thoroughly professional and her contacts in the industry are all outstanding. We are happy to recommend Martina and her amazing team.

We worked with the team at Martina Hayes Interior Design when working on the concept and design of my exterior garden in inner city Sydney.Martina and I had an excellent chat initially about my enquiry, then Chelsea came to do a full walk through and concept/colour design. We found it so useful not just in terms of colours, but also matching with the style of my house and considering the materials too. We were fortunate to also talk through some design ideas - Chelsea's ideas and advice were invaluable and she thought of ideas/challenges that never would have crossed our minds.We would high recommend this service to anyone undertaking and design/renovation projects.

The communal areas of our apartment building at Lavender Bay were in need of refurbishment. We engaged Martina to propose an economical but high-quality, eco-friendly, contemporary and classic "look", which would stand the test of time of time and changing trends while appealing to a wide range of tastes. We found Martina a delight to work with, always courteous, knowledgeable and professional. She is a great listener, understanding and clarifying our needs, and doing her utmost to meet them while complying strictly with her brief. Martina guided us efficiently through the design process, explaining the rationale for each considered step. Martina remained always calmly courteous, professional and responsive to the many questions and difficulties necessarily encountered within a group decision-making setting.

Martina & Chelsea understood right from the beginning what I wished to create. Communication was easy. They took the stress away from being a first time renovator, giving me the confidence to pursue my project and love the process.

Martina has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She worked tirelessly to bring our dream home to life, listening patiently as we vacillated between structural and design features and even suggesting and creating some of the most favourite areas of our concept home. I would highly recommend Martina (and have) to anyone who is about to embark on any type of renovation or build.

The communal areas of our 40 year old 15 storey apartment block in the Sydney CBD were in need of a refurbishment. As the body corporate’s committee we wanted to select new flooring, wall coverings and paint colours for the entry foyer and residential floors. Martina was very professional and helped us through the different options available to us. We are very happy with the final interior design specifications which will modernise the appearance of our building.

Martina developed the new floorplan, got the building permit from a private certifier and recommended all fixtures and finishes...she linked in with all parties concerned: engineers etc...she recommended an excellent builder...everything went smoothly due to her professionalism...the house is looking very homely and quaint indeed...we would recommend her any time.

Martina’s colour consultancy service made the job of choosing colours for our townhouses repaint simple and enjoyable. She also gave us ideas about using colours to bring out and define architectural features that we would never have thought of ourselves. Highly recommend Martina‘a lovely friendly and professional service.

We called Martina to help us with choosing a new colour scheme when painting the exterior of our house and choosing material colours for a new deck. She was very professional and developed a colour scheme that we could definitely not have picked by ourselves. Highly recommended.

Martina did a site visit and talked us through her ideas and tailored her suggestions. She was great help to us in selecting the colour schemes and ideas on how to best utilise our space.

We engaged Martina recently for help with an exterior colour scheme for our home. Our house is an older style and we had recently put in a new, modern kitchen. Martina was able to suggest a colour scheme which would make the house facade more contemporary to tie in with the new kitchen and give a consistent and stylish flow to the entire home. Martina is a talented designer and a warm and delightful person and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

1577748226

Martina assisted us with the design of our exterior colour scheme for our pool, deck and outdoor areas including a kitchen and bathroom. Her ideas were extremely valuable to the overall project and helped us deliver a “wow factor” for the final design which we are very pleased with. I would not hesitate to recommend Martina for any interior or exterior design project.

Martina has helped us enormously with our new bathroom design, taking into account our requirements and style as well as making great suggestions that we would never have thought of on our own!
