Wigwam Design by Fiona Barry

We engaged Fiona to do the work required to prepare our home for sale, as well as to do the styling, because we knew how talented, capable and experienced she is. From the beginning we were really impressed with her enthusiasm as well as her commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us, and we believe her work and her vision played a large part in attracting buyer interest. Fiona is warm, direct, passionate about the work she does and throughout the whole process she displayed a high level of professionalism and engagement. She dealt efficiently and easily with trades people, while always paying close attention to workmanship and the smallest details. She tailored our 1920's home to the market with a creative, imaginative reconfiguration of spaces, as well as using furniture, furnishings, colour and artwork, including some of our own pieces, in a way that highlighted the best features of our home while at the same time reflecting a contemporary lifestyle that would appeal to potential buyers. We would recommend Fiona highly as we have have absolute confidence in her abilities as a designer who will not only work with you to create home interiors you will love but make the whole experience a pleasure.

Have used her a couple of occasions when I have moved house and needed help with styling, furnishing. measurements etc. Would highly recommend as she listens to your brief and offer suggestions and options but respects that it is your home.

Fiona helped me choose new colours when we had the interior of our house repainted. She has a brilliant eye for colour and advised a subtle but improved new colour scheme in the living room with slightly different shades of white to best use the available light. She also advised on bedroom colours including a feature wall in each room which I would not have thought to pick but which now look amazing. Fiona is also warm, enthusiastic, organised and patient and I would highly recommend her.

I met Fiona when I attended her Property Styling course. It was so interesting and educational that I attended her Basic Interior Design and Intermediate Design courses. I was so impressed by her extensive design experience and understanding of colour, light and space that I engaged her services to assist us with the renovation of our 1970's family home. She understood what we were trying to achieve with the renovation and provided wonderful, practical suggestions. I trusted her with the colour choices and was absolutely delighted with the results. We now have a beautiful cohesive home with a colour palette that flows from room to room. Fiona was also able to recommend reliable and experienced trades people who we used and we found them to be extremely competent. I highly recommend Fiona to you. We will certainly be asking her to work with us on our next project.

I strongly recommend Wigwam design. I hired Fiona to help me with colour choices and design when we undertook a huge renovation of a 1930’s semi. While I had ideas of my own, Fiona was able to build on these and offer suggestions that greatly enhanced my original direction. She also offered practical suggestions, well within our budget, that were designed to enhance quality of living. Through her encouragement I was so much more confident about what I was doing and choosing. I can not recommend her highly enough!
