I was struggling to choose colours that were sympathtic to my post war house. Alistair arrived with lots of reference material and a selection of colours to get us started. He was very patient and talked me through the selection process. I ended up with a number of colour palettes which arrived later as large colour swatches that are easy to compare. I cannot reccommend Secret Design Studio highly enough and look forward contacting them again when we are ready to start more extensive renovations.

Here is what one of our past Phillip Island clients said about our in-home consultation service.![]()
“I had recently purchased a mid-century house on Phillip Island and was pleasantly surprised to find this unique service when I was looking for renovation ideas.![]()
Alistair was able to make a house call to me when he was visiting another one of his projects on Phillip Island. He brought along his “doctor’s bag” of excellent resources which he had prepared specifically for my house visit. I was very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge and look forward to making use of the design service in the future.”![]()
