THANK YOU

Freda is great to work with, patient and reasonable. Freda genuinely cares about giving the client what they like and need and takes pride in completing the project. Freda helped with my son’s bedroom and made the most of the space, a room that looked poky now looks spacious and has everything my son needs, the space is transformed. it is clear that Freda has a great eye for combining colours and textures to achieve a functional, beautiful and designer finish. Freda has an artist flare and is reasonably priced. Designers I have met are driven by financial gain, it’s refreshing to meet a designer that is motivated by the satisfaction of delivering a high quality design.

Recommend life by design

Freda did an exceptional job on our hall, interconnected living rooms, bathroom and living/dining kitchen. She was committed to seeing the project through to the very end. She helped manage our whole project and her wide range of contacts made the renovations process streamline and easier. She has great insight and vision especially when it came to the flooring and colour drenching. She helped us find a range of products that we would have struggled to find ourselves.

5 star experience

Freda Stack is an exceptional interior designer! She recently worked her magic on my hallway, turning it from drab to fab. This isn’t my first experience with Freda—I also enlisted her expertise when redesigning my kitchen and living area. Her ability to seamlessly collaborate with my architect made a significant difference in the final outcome. Freda’s keen eye for detail, combined with her talent for making a modest budget look luxurious, is truly impressive. I’m consistently thrilled with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a stylish, functional, and beautifully designed space.

Love my new living room!

Freda helped me to transform my living room and toy room into two beautiful relaxation spaces that were indulgent and glamorous. had asked for a grown up space that could still be warm and inviting. I wanted it to reflect my taste and stay true to the character of the house, on a small budget. She delivered on every front, the room is beautiful- elevating my mood every day. She delivers because she has great taste, but also really listens to her clients. She worked tirelessly to find the right colours, furniture and small details to make the room look gorgeous. She found great fabrics, colours and furniture and kept to the budget. I feel really lucky to have found such a great designer who was both talented and affordable. And really lovely to work with.

Invaluable Guidance for My Rental Property!

I had an exceptional experience with Life by Design, particularly with Freda Stack, who provided invaluable assistance in designing my two-bedroom rental flat. Freda’s expertise in interior design was truly impressive, covering everything from materials and color schemes to fixtures, fittings, layout, and furniture.

Her guidance helped me avoid numerous costly mistakes that I know I would would have made without her help. Freda’s insights were especially crucial for key areas like the kitchen and bathroom, where her advice on big-ticket items proved invaluable.

What sets Freda apart is her incredible helpfulness and patience. No request was too much trouble, and her dedication to the project was evident throughout the process.

I’m thrilled with the final result of my rental property, which I attribute to Freda’s expertise and the excellent service provided by Life by Design. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to both small and large businesses, as well as private property owners. The right advice makes a significant difference, and Life by Design delivers exactly that.
