About

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL INTERIOR DESIGN SOLUTIONS

As someone who’s always been passionate about design, I became the face behind Inspired Spaces when we launched in 2005.

Over the years, I’ve shared my expertise as an interior designer in several design publications, like the Sydney Hills Living Magazine. I’ve also been the judge for the Hills Building Design Awards, a key presenter of seminars at numerous expositions, and the industry representative for the HIA Trade Show.

I am also a member of both the Design Institute of Australia and The Colour Society of Australia.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF INSPIRED SPACES

The team believes that interior design should reflect the personality and life experience of a homeowner or, respectively, the brand and ethos of the company for commercial clients. No two clients have the exact same requirements; Robyn’s artistic vision and experience ensure each client is presented with a unique solution – not just her own personal style. Robyn understands her client’s lifestyle, taste and budget and transforms those parameters into the perfect space.

WHO WE WORK WITH

At Inspired Spaces, we work with clients and trades who are honest, trustworthy and have integrity. We work with clients and trades who value the expertise of the team at Inspired Spaces and as such respect our input, designs and creativity. Both our clients and trades are open to changes and do not believe in compromising the end result by taking shortcuts. Our clients and trades must reflect the values of Inspired Spaces.

HOW WE WORK

The team of interior designers at Inspired Spaces design for the users of the space, whether they are a business or residential clients. They do this by understanding how a family function or the workflow of a business by drilling down to the last detail. To create the most creative space possible we will push your boundaries but at the same time respect your cultural backgrounds and/or business mores. Understanding a client’s budget is vital so that we create a solution that is within the constraints of your budget. We share our trade discounts with the client. The team firmly believes that a great design is a collaboration of interior designers, trades and clients and as such will work collaboratively with all concerned parties to ensure cohesion is evident at all stages of the process

It has been wonderful collaborating with the team at Inspired Spaces with a couple of projects now by helping their happy clients with garden designs and planting selections to further enhance their newly designed spaces.

- Michelle Davies

Robyn & her team transformed our dark & damp basement into a light filled playroom for our kids. It was a difficult brief in an old house but nothing was too much trouble for Robyn & she came up with solutions we didn’t even think of. The quality of the finishes are amazing & the design means we have a space that will be flexible as the children get older.

- Kendal Mogg

Robyn gave us lots of ideas about how to get the best result for our family living area, the result was great, we are very happy with the outcome. We are just about to start bathroom project with Robyn's assistance. Her ideas and insight into what will work and fit in with other spaces within the home are brilliant. I would recommend Robyn to anyone that is looking for someone that is an expert in the area of interior design with the ability to incorporate the ideas and needs of a family's day to day living..

- Margaret Michell

I am so happy with the design and colour choices that Inspired Spaces provided to me for my recent house renovation. Robyn's conceptual ideas are modern and classy. After discussions of my personality and looking at the design of each room of the house as well as our locality, the colour combinations that were finally decided upon, are outstanding. The renovation has transposed my house from tired to fresh, contemporary and beautiful to live in. I have received so many compliments from visitors, friends, and family. Thank you Inspired Spaces.

- Kate Johnson

Robyn and her team completely transformed our home. We couldn't be happier with the quality of the work, the value for money and the professionalism that Robyn brought to the work. We came across some challenges left behind by the builder and Robyn was able to think both creatively and flexibly to design in alternatives. We are now excited to come home and cook in our brand new kitchen. Thank you Robyn for all of your hard work.

- Rodney Smith

We had a fantastic experience with Robyn of Inspired Spaces. Robyn listened to exactly what we wanted and came back with some amazing plans for various areas of our home in downstairs and upstairs areas. We love using the spaces that we now have in our home. Thanks Robyn. You are a star. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Robyn to anyone wanting to have work done at their home. I have also seen results of Robyn's commercial designs. Also fantastic!!

- Leesa Kotis

I have used the services provided by Robyn from Inspired Spaces several times over the last 12 month during an extensive exterior and interior renovation. I would not have been able to achieve such outstanding results without her. My home is becoming a place I am really proud of and I am looking forward to completing the interior work in the coming months. I really love Robyn's approach to layering your rooms until you reach perfection and not just throwing everything in at once. Her expertise and guidance has helped me to understand the proportions of my space so that I can make better choices with furniture, rugs and art selection. I feel very comfortable throwing ideas at Robyn for advice when I am unsure, knowing she will validate my choice or suggest an alternative that is better suited to my vision. Robyn was also able to recommend an excellent landscape designer to complete my gardens and select some amazing plants. I would not hesitate to recommend Robyn to anyone requiring design advice in the commercial or residential space.

- J D

From conception to completion, working with Robyn from Inspired Spaces was one of the best decisions we made for our full home renovation. Robyn helped us apply and appeal for council applications, contacted companies on our behalf to correct trade errors and delivery/installation mistakes. And best of all, Robyn’s knowledge of colours, textures, materials and style helped bring our old tired house into beautiful living spaces that flowed with grandeur and comfort. From floors to walls to window dressings, lighting, tiles, carpet, stone, paintings, furniture and cushions - Robyn was there every step of the way to help us choose and design our forever home. Thank you Robyn, we would happily recommend Inspired Spaces to anyone who is looking for that extra special touch to their home design. Ecstatic and grateful clients (and now friends) from Wakeley.

- Oscar Lee

Inspired Spaces did our recent home renovations. We had a fantastic experience working with Robyn, she was helpful and engaging from the moment we contacted her till the completion of the project. Our home looks modern and fantastic and the new kitchen design and addition of the new deck take our living area to a whole new level. Robyn has managed to achieve the 'Wow' factor along with meeting all our requirements we had for the living areas we renovated. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome of this renovation and the added bonus of compliments we have received on the décor from all our friends. I would thoroughly recommend working with Robyn as she has a fantastic vision. Very Happy Customers from West Pennant Hills.

- Robert Monteiro

Robyn and her team were fantastic and whilst their fresh ideas challenged our thinking at first, the end result is brilliant! So much space, so full of light - we don't want to leave our kitchen/living area :-) Given the challenges we also had with other trades and their inability to follow detailed plans, I would highly recommend engaging Robyn on her build management capability to keep trades on track and to plan!

- Iain Blair

It was amazing working with Robyn. We got everything we wanted for our outdoor renovation and much more. We are very happy with the result.

- Vicki Young

Inspired Spaces were fantastic to work with in 2020. I would always recommend using a qualified designer such as Robyn before embarking on a renovation project. Because our design was well scoped by Inspired Spaces, we avoided any cost overruns on the project. We were also able to keep the building contractor "in check" with minimal variations and a clear, detailed design. Robyn took the time to understand our requirements, as well as guide us in the areas we didn't understand. She stayed in constant contact through the project, and helped ensure the contractor understood the vision and was delivering on expectations.

We ended up with a clean and modern look, adding value to the home and improving the liveability of all spaces. Robyn's interest and research into our acoustic goals was also appreciated - we achieved my key goal of reducing noise transfer between spaces whilst keeping an open plan feel. The spaces are so much quieter and more peaceful, even when the house is full.

Overall was a great result and I can thoroughly recommend Inspired Spaces.

- Paul Dengate

Thanks for your expert advice! We had 4 or 5 serious bidders yesterday after the open home and have accepted an offer! We are sure that this quick result with an excellent offer was due to your service and our professional agents.

-Paul and Gabi

We feel that after the completion of the renovation to our office we would like to express our appreciation and satisfaction on the excellent work carried out by your company. Inspired Spaces was dedicated to work with us on all areas that needed attention. Having a defined space and uncommon angles in an office area was a challenging job to most consultants that came to help us with the office renovation. Inspired Spaces was able to tailor the colors, furniture and Artwork to our office needs and taste. We wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the excellent work done in the supply and installation of the new reception. The reception was designed by Inspired Spaces. We would like to advise that we would have no hesitation in recommending your company.

- Sylvia Marcos, Accounts Manager, Marcos Accountants

We are convinced that the efforts of both yourself and Bev Kelly were instrumental in us getting a quick sale. In fact, we are certain that we would have got even more for the house if we weren't looking to sell so quickly. Having said that, we are more than happy with the offer we accepted. Thank you very much for your efforts.

Lee & Lorraine 

In our first telephone contact you made me feel comfortable and from then on, everything just ‘gelled’. You listened to what we wanted, asked about our family requirements and our stage of life and our budget. You utilized existing items in our house as they ‘looked right’ and other items that had sentimental value so you used them in your overall decorating plan. You worked your creative genius and our new interior is definitely “US” – and most importantly you made us feel like part of the decision making process. You made it all come together so much so, that what started with ‘one room’ developed into the ‘whole house’ – inside and out! Thank you for all your efforts and don’t hesitate to use us in the future if a prospective customer would like a little reassurance before they take the ‘interior decorator’ plunge ☺ Deb We would have no hesitation recommending Robyn and know that anyone using Inspired Spaces will be inspired and enthused.

- Robert and Vicki, Hornsby

Robyn has been fantastic with rouse hill physio achieving the near impossible. Set the challenge of converting a poorly laid out and semi run down clinic Robyn in a truly professional way ensured a seemingly impossible makeover in 3 days with minimal disruption to our business. Couldn't recommend her and the inspired spaces team enough.

- Aaron Lewis, Rouse Hill Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre

After a number of years of dilatoriness, I decided to renovate my barrister’s chambers. I had some basic ideas on how to improve the functionality of the space but no idea on how to turn those ideas into reality. Robyn took those ideas and built on them to devise an innovative refurbishment plan, using a modern, fresh colour scheme. She then project managed the refurbishment by locating some excellent tradesmen, and supervising their work. Her work has rejuvenated my office from one which was tired and lacked functionality into a fresh, functional and, dare I say, inspirational work environment which is now a pleasure to use.

- Victor, Barister, Sydney

I engaged Inspired Spaces to create a vibrant, comfortable and inspiring work environment for our team – and I don’t have the skills to do that! By engaging an interior designer who could also manage the project I was saving time and gaining new ideas. My brief was to create a bright and airy space that reflects Australia and the Australian way of life. I asked to include a meeting room, CEO office and breakout area. The new office also needed to accommodate future growth of the company and an informal meeting space. It’s a 100% improvement for staff. More room. Positive environment, room to congregate for lunch. Improved relationships. Everyone has their own personal space. My clients think it is fabulous, colourful, the image in the meeting room is inspiring, the reception area is inviting and bright. The best thing is the space for each person to work without being cramped, the colours feel positive, various options to meet with clients / staff, whiteboard is a focus for all staff. The office reflects our brand image – professional but approachable. I also think the project management element was very worthwhile.

- Sarah, Aspire, North Sydney

I just wanted to thank you Robyn for all the help, support and assistance you have given us with our recent renovation. We are delighted with the results, everyday we are grateful and feel like we are living in a resort - what a change! Thank you for working so tirelessly and patiently with us as we worked through so many different design options. We felt like you listened to what we were looking for and turned our dream home into a reality. Thank you for your help with all the finishes, in particular the kitchen. Your skill with colour and textures are second to none; we were in awe at how easy you made this look. Thank you for all the 'hand holding' and patience you showed with every photo we sent you and all the detail in the advice we needed. On top of all the research you did prior to shopping trips for furniture, art work, floor coverings etc I would happily recommend you to anyone who is looking for a designer with great vision and someone who collaborates with the client.

All the best Robyn,
