  • "Deborah was a delight to work with from start to finish. She listened to what we were aiming to achieve, took it away and blended it with her years of expertise, and offered us some solutions that were better than what we could have achieved trying to make the decisions by ourselves. Deborah makes the decision making process easy, and fully invests herself into the outcome of your job."

    Kharols Langman, residential client

  • "She could fully see our vision and was only a call (or FaceTime) away when we were unsure of something. Mark & I love our new home and still question whether Deborah would approve when buying anything to go inside!"

    Jen Porritt, residential clent

  • “The overall results are stunning and we are delighted with the way that Deborah has helped transform the house to a home. For anyone building a new home or renovating an existing home, Deborah has the skills with her wonderful sense of colour, to ascertain your tastes and requirements and bring her ideas to truly transform any building."

    Bill and Sally Washington, residential clients

  • "All aspects of the project were attended to on time, and everything was coordinated, and delivered on schedule. I would have no hesitation in recommending Deborah Still Design for any project."

    Colin Brosnahan

  • “From the moment that we engaged Deborah to assist us with the interior design of Lakestone Lodge we found her to be very professional, approachable, reliable and a great communicator and it was evident she had a wealth of experience. We really appreciate how determined Deborah was to ensure that we remained within our budget and she came up with creative solutions to ensure we achieved the look we desired. She respected our need for practicality yet enabled us to have a beautiful finished product that blends in beautifully with the dramatic landscape of the Mackenzie Basin.”

    Anna and Mike Bacchus, Lakestone Lodge

  • “From the first site inspection, Deborah quickly understood our vision of a luxury AirBnB at Pisa Moorings. A timeless colour scheme, a feature wallpaper of earthy tones, and sky/water makes it luxury! Careful consideration to designing a unit that is also accessible. Deborah you nailed it!”
