We couldn't be more grateful for Lynda's help whilst decorating our home. She was extremely generous with her time, and carefully listened to our needs and what we wanted in our home.
She tailored her approach to what we wanted, and provided amazing suggestions that suited us perfectly. Lynda always has budget in mind, and provided recommendations that looked beautiful.
Most importantly, she's been a fantastic communicator and knows how to manage our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the result of working with Lynda.

We are very happy with the advice and guidance Lynda provided when we renovated our home in Malvern. We were unsure how to approach decorating our living areas, but Lynda's creativity and guidance was invaluable. She immediately understood what we wanted. She worked within our budget and made some fantastic suggestions to really make the rooms special. Her vast design knowledge, sense of colour and fabric choices have made our spaces sing. She was very keen to include and reupholster some of our existing furniture which was very cost effective.
Lynda has put a lot of thought into creating a unique comfortable and beautiful environment for us to live in and we could not be more thrilled with the result.
We have had a lot of compliments from our friends to the decorative work and look forward to engaging her again. Lynda works with a team of professional trades who she has selected over the years who are all of high standard and craftmanship and importantly deliver on time!

Lynda really is an interior style icon. We can’t thank her enough for helping us fall madly in love with our new house. She assisted us with everything from colours, rugs and paintings to kids’ rooms and indoor plant ideas.
Lynda talked us out of buying a whole new sofa and introduced us to reupholstery. This saved us money and the outcome was far better than anything we had hoped for. We’re so thrilled with with the results, we’ve just engaged Lynda to help with our next project.

Simply love working with Lynda. I feel she is clever, listens to me and respects my brief. In my case, rather than going the easy option of replacing all my furniture, she tries to work with what I have, which makes working with her so unique. I highly recommend Lynda’s styling services.

Lynda Newton Design guided us through the transformation of our draughty Edwardian home in Prahran,and we couldn't be happier with results.
Lynda project-managed every detail, from a high-end kitchen with cutting-edge appliances to new
bathrooms and a fabulous ensuite dressing room.
Sensitive to our budget needs, Lynda encouraged us to reupholster (rather than throw out) well-
used furniture. With brilliant instincts for colour and texture, she revitalised chairs and sofas using
quality fabrics and flurries of cushions.
Lynda worked with an impressive team of tradesmen who took pride in the project. We're still
savouring the quality of their craftmanship.
A perceptive listener, Lynda tuned into our individual (occasionally quirky) requirements. Her magic
created a joyous, light filled, beautiful environment we'll never want to leave.

What sets Lynda apart is her intuitive and confident capacity to merge her ideas and inclinations with her client’s personality and personal preferences. Her ideas for my space have resulted in a feel of timeless elegance yet it still feels original, avoiding anything too matchy-matchy or co-ordinated. Rather, my space reflects a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe that reflects not only my individuality but Lynda’s talent and approach to interior design.
My recently revamped home has received many compliments from friends and guests and inspired more than one of them to go further with their own interior designs. Thank you, Lynda, for your generosity in both deed and spirit. I LOVE my home’s new look.
Andrea C.
Lynda is an experienced interior designer who I was eager to work with. Initially I was a little apprehensive that my brief may have been too small for her to consider. Instead, she generously listened carefully to my views and thoughtfully reviewed our living areas.
With her meticulous eye for detail a vision for the makeover was formulated and Lynda clearly communicated both simple quick fixes and some beautiful new additions. Her comprehensive advice included repositioning some of our current furniture and items and using her outstanding colour skills she offered some beautiful options. This approach showed a great sustainable attitude to her work that considered the budget and my preferences.
Lynda has an extensive network of trades, and she arranged all work with contractors and supplies. She tirelessly followed up both with me and the trades to ensure every aspect of her design was completed to the quality she expected and which I greatly appreciate.
Working with Lynda has been easy and an absolute pleasure. Our living areas are now refreshed, cohesive and we are very excited with the result.
Belinda F.
I first met Lynda when I wanted to freshen up our home, a Victorian terrace that we had renovated about 15 years ago. From the start I was so very impressed with her approach. Lynda has impeccable style and wonderful ideas, but also worked carefully within our budget and our existing environment, and aimed to recycle when possible. We also loved from the start her warmth, energy, professionalism, and attentiveness - the way she takes the time to listen to and support her clients.
Lynda helped us develop a plan for what might be done when, which we have since followed, initially with small changes in our living area and a bedroom makeover. Last year I called on her again for a much bigger project - replacing our bathrooms. Lynda was amazing with helping us select everything we needed (including a wonderful builder) and with resolving queries that came up along the way. Nothing was too much trouble.
We couldn’t be happier with the results of everything Lynda has helped us with and I’d recommend her without any reservations whatsoever. Fabulous!

We were so lucky to have Lynda’s expertise on hand when we moved into our new apartment. Having relocated from Sydney we were looking forward to creating a warm, welcoming space in which we could relax and be happy and proud to entertain our friends. From our initial meeting Lynda noted our existing furniture, artwork and accessories and in a very clever and practical manner was able to incorporate them with other more modern purchases we had decided upon along the way. This was a very cost saving exercise and much appreciated.
Her eye for colour and the placing of furniture and artworks is exceptional and we were very confident with her suggestions. This coupled with the fact that she had access to and co-ordinated professional trades from upholsterers, painters, window curtains, cabinetry makers all ensured our makeover flowed smoothly. At all times she kept us updated on what was happening and we were impressed at how quickly it all fell into place.
Our journey hasn’t finished yet and we are looking forward to consulting with Lynda on other projects we’ll be looking at in the future.
