Xavier Hinde Interiors

I engaged Xavier Hinde interiors to style my apartment, I'm so pleased with the result! Prior to engaging Xavier Hinde, my apartment was presenting fine however I wanted it to be more sophisticated. I had visited a few furniture stores but it was somewhat overwhelming to achieve a look that I would be happy with. "Is this couch the right size, what colours would work, tell me other things that would make this space have an impact! I then engaged Xavier Hinde and found the experience enjoyable. They listened to my loose brief and within a short while, presented different options to me and clear pricing on each ..... and took me to furniture stores I didn’t know even existed! On some things it took a bit of convincing but I'm so pleased that I put my faith in them. I remember coming home when most of the project was completed and saying "Wow, I never would have achieved this on my own!" It was more than just furniture selection .... it was the way it was brought together with changed colours, technology and lighting. The coordination of their trusted trades when necessary to measure up, upgrade lighting, install furniture, carpentry work and the like made the experience seamless. I look forward to using Rodney and John-Eric from Xavier again soon, most likely on my second bedroom. I highly recommend them.

We are so please to have found Rodney and John Eric! From the very first meeting they were fantastic to work with- personable, professional and full of energy and ideas. The whole process of renovating the inside of our house was made enjoyable and achievable by hiring Xavier Hinde Interiors as our interior stylists. Because of the large scale of the project (including total kitchen and bathroom renos) we moved out of our house for 5 weeks but once we were able to move back in we haven't had to do a thing! All the decisions and negotiations were made professionally and expertly by John-Eric and Rodney; we never had to talk to a tradesperson, as they were so well supervised. We are in love with our new house and the overall concept is one that we have wanted for years. Our lives have since become more enjoyable and simple due to Xavier Hinde and the renovation they gave us. Now we plan to overhaul our backyard and laundry to complete the project! Who would we call on to do this but Xavier Hinde Interiors!

We had seen the wonderful renovation that Rodney and Jean-Eric had done on our friends’ apartment and immediately knew they would be the right team to assist us is in transforming our Art Deco apartment into a beautiful and relaxed family home. Together they bring a wonderful combination of technical expertise, design integrity and aesthetic sensibility which enables them to take a brief and run with it. The attention to detail they brought to our project has resulted in some subtle and beautiful finishing touches that have brought light and energy into our home. They chose excellent tradespeople to work with and liaised with them throughout the project to ensure that a quality outcome was achieved in all aspects of the project. They are incredibly passionate and committed to delivering a quality outcome and we are very grateful for the way in which they were able to fully realise the vision for our home.

Having worked with Rodney on three other projects, Xavier Hinde was the obvious choice for decorating our new home. It was a slightly challenging project for Xavier Hinde, as my partner and I wanted a fresh look which worked with the bones of the apartment, whilst at the same time we wanted to keep pieces from our previous homes. To assist we provided them with images of homes from magazines to be used as a style guide. Xavier Hinde completely meet the brief, achieving the fine balance required in melding our two lives whilst starting a new life afresh. A testament to their tenacity and patience, they were happy to work with us at our pace. Their proposal sourced furniture and design pieces from their vast network, the end result is an amazingly bespoke and beautiful home. Although their recommendations are always on brief, on the odd occasion we wanted to explore alternate options and they were completely obliging. In particular, their attention to detail is outstanding and as I have learned from Rodney over the years, the smallest of things can make the biggest difference. I would absolutely recommend Xavier Hinde to anyone wanting to decorate a single room or their entire home. I can't wait to see the end result of our current project, and I'm already looking forward to our next project working with Xavier Hinde.

A friend of mine had raved about John-Eric and Rodney and then I saw their work at her place and knew I just had to use them for my place. When I met them they were so lovely, and I just hit it off with both of them immediately. I needed new joinery, furniture, rugs, curtains, colours - the whole thing - and I was feeling a little overwhelmed. I said that I wanted something really over the top, and they took that quite literally. But I loved almost everything they suggested, and although there were a few ideas I found a little controversial, I just took a deep breath and told them to go for it. And I’m so glad I did, I just love everything! And we had an absolute ball along the way. I would use their services every time, and would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a fabulous interior decorator and designer.

I'd seen what Xavier Hinde Interiors had done for my friend and thought they’d be able to help me - I had recently moved from a very large old house into a smaller more modern house, and I had pieces collected over a lifetime that I wanted to keep. John-Eric and Rodney were very sensitive to my needs, and respectful towards the pieces that I loved. But they were also very frank about what needed to be done to give my new house the much loved atmosphere of my old house, in a way that was sympathetic to the new house, and without making it feel small and cramped. They recommended I sell a lot of furniture and rugs, sourced some new furniture and rugs, as well as lamps and other accessories and painted the whole house in a range of colours I wasn’t sure about, but they convinced me they would work. And they did. The new colours brought everything together beautifully. Everyone who visits remarks on what a lovely house it is. I tell everybody how much I love it, and how wonderful John-Eric and Rodney are.
