Testimonials
Darralyn went out of her way to help us when we were trying to choose fixtures and a design for our new kitchen and floor. She was very knowledgeable, patient and quick responding to our numerous questions. We took on board all her recommendations and are so happy with our new kitchen.
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.

Working with Darralyn Carter on our kitchen and living room renovation has been a very positive and enjoyable experience. Darralyn has generously shared her interior design skills while being very receptive and respectful to our ideas and thoughts. She is always happy to answer any questions and present new ideas and suggestions.
Her attention to detail, sourcing the right trades for the job and dealing with them onsite has taken away any stress that might be expected when undertaking such a renovation. Darralyn, as our consultant and interior designer, throughout the process has reduced any uncertainty we may have experienced while undertaking a project of this size and nature by ourselves. Dare I say - Darralyn’s expertise has delivered a “calmness” to our renovation.
We are delighted with our beautiful new rooms and look forward to engaging Darralyn for future projects we wish to undertake in our home.

I met Darralyn from The Calm Interior about a year ago when I was beginning to plan renovations for my home. She has guided me through bathrooms, laundry and kitchen renovations as well as changing the flooring. It has been quite a process and I am not sure how I would have survived it without her guidance and wisdom in planning, colour and design choices as well as engaging tradesmen.
The end result is beautiful with more storage and very user friendly. The decisions have been mine but it has been very helpful to have someone with industry knowledge to bounce ideas around with and give guidance where needed.

I am writing to tell you about Darralyn at The Calm Interior
I met Darralyn almost two years ago when renovating my kitchen. Since then I have been using her expert service and advice for the furnishing of my new home.
Darralyn is an amazing decorator with so much knowledge of colour and how to arrange furniture in the available space. She listens to you and finds out your likes and dislikes and works with you on a very personal basis. Knowing the way you live and function is so important when designing and renovating a home or even just a room and Darralyn does this so well offering suggestions that you had never thought of.
I have worked with other decorators over many years however, I would highly recommend Darralyn and The Calm Interior for anything you are doing in your home.

Darralyn has helped style our guest room and entryway to our brand new home. Darralyn is an extraordinary talent and very generous with her time and planning to ensure the end result exceeding all our expectations whilst maintaining our budget and meeting extremely short timeframes- a rare combination in the design world!
what I have loved most about working with Darralyn is the flexibility in how we have approached each project (room/area), the attention to detail and the ability to talk through different concepts/styles- sometimes you think you know what you want but then you see an amazing design concept from Darralyn and get blown away!
I can’t recommend Darralyn enough and ca’t wait to work through the rest of the rooms in our home with her.
