Lauren and Phil are a pleasure to deal with. There are many so-called "interior designers" out there but nothing like Lauren who is degree qualified in the field and has international and local architectural office experience. With this background she brings the ability to properly advise on design layouts and has a great eye for detail. In turn her choice and advice on hard and soft finishes is impeccable. She has a wide industry supplier network to draw upon and is well respected in all areas. She is always my choice for interior designer.

Sisalla Design designed a concept for my modern contempory residence in the inner city twelve months ago. Sisalla Interior Design knowledge with layout and concept was backed up with skills acquired by professional experience. Sisalla Interior Design views were positive and evaluative at all times. I felt that I was in good hands and listened to at all times and my ideas were incorporated into the design. Deadlines and budgets were collaborated and communicated between other companies and myself with support at all times from Sisalla Interior Design. Overall my house the finished product has sense of balance and completeness that feels timeless,comfortable and warm at all time.

The team at Sisalla are amazing interior designers; creative, methodical and the end product is unique to your brief and delights you for many years . Lauren's design ability is second to none and she thoughtfully guides you through the process making you feel like you are in good hands and privy to some of the best furniture, lighting, textures and art out there. A a client of Sisalla's it has been a joy to see the design they first present as a mock up, come to life in our home and exceed our expectations. I highly recommend Lauren and the Sisalla team for their creativity, knowledge of the industry and also just being awesome people to work with.

Lauren and Phil have a sophisticated style and go above and beyond in terms of client service. Each job they treat as they would their own home, with love, care and within budget.

Laurelle, Dealcorp

Thank you Lauren and Phil for your professionalism and dedication to improving the skills of interior designers. The last course I attended ‘The masterclass session’ left me with a great to do list, confirmed and filled in the gaps on a number of my processes and best of all, I walked away with a network of beautiful designers that I can call on for moral support. To anyone considering attending one of Lauren’s courses - don’t hesitate - just do it!!!

Lauren and Phil have the best taste in interiors!I bought a painting by the gorgeous Emily Persson online and had it hanging on my wall by the end of the week!.They were both so helpful and lovely to deal with.

Service centric and design forward. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be scratching your head working out what NOT to take home, lock into a styling shoot or put aside for a discerning, design loving MIL’s birthday before your street metres up. It’s alway nice to find something extra special, without cringing inside when you hand over your plastic too? A new concept to Aus that I couldn’t have welcomed sooner.

Amy

The Apartment is my go-to for that something a little different that stands out from the crowd! The designer in me loves to support emerging makers and artists and the curated selection of items Lauren and Phil continue to champion and support is inspired. Can always find something a little different to meet the brief at The Apartment.

Richelle

Tightly curated pieces for your home that every other store doesn’t have. Lovely customer service & a stunning space too! Would recommend for any interior enthusiasts

Sophie

If you’re sitting on the fence thinking, should I attended this workshop....... the answer is YES. I recently had the pleasure of attending Lauren’s, Sketch Up for Beginners Workshop.

The environment, the hands on learning, the detailed explanations were all so well received. I walked away with so much confidence and a little hop in my step of all the wonderful creations I am going to be able to design. Thank you Lauren, you’re a true gem.

Sarah

The Apartment is a beautiful curated collection of homewares that elevate any space, you are spoilt for choice! My products are stunning, arrived super fast & with wonderful customer service. I will definitely revisit.

Jana

I recently attended the Sourcing Secrets workshop with Lauren and after 5 years in business I thought I knew most of the suppliers in my trade. Not so! There were so many that I hadn't heard of that I can now use in my own business and on current projects. I'm always blown away by Laurens willingness to share and her generosity when it comes to this wonderful industry. The session was relaxed, fun and intimate. It was practical and hands on too so I left feeling really enthusiastic and uplifted.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the design industry.

Julianne

Lauren is a legend! What can I say she is so very generous and keen to help others, it's inspiring. I've done a few classes now with Lauren at The Apartment by Sisalla and it's worth every minute.

As much as we think we know there is always room to improve and learn more and in her wonderfully inviting surrounds there's no better place, you feel like you are amongst friends. I really recommend her workshops to all.

I'll be back again Lauren xxx

Jacque

Thank you Lauren & Phil for organising the SketchUp Workshop. These two days have been super helpful and I can't believe how much I have learnt already in such a short time. Definitely recommended not only for the technical skills learnt but also for the interesting conversation about the industry and great tips from Lauren!

Look forward signing up to the Advanced class soon.

Vicky

This course is fantastic for beginners who want to learn the basics of what SketchUp can do. Lauren is an amazing teacher; patient and kind in her teaching style and extremely knowledgeable. She cleary has a passion for all things SketchUp and is generous with her time and knowledge. Well worth it!

Jess

Loved attending the Sketchup workshop at The Apartment, Lauren and Phil are so generous with their knowledge and it so very much appreciated. Highly recommend for designers wanting to up-skill or refresh!

Sara

I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity you gave me to attend your master sessions weekend in Melbourne. It has given me so much confidence and the know-how to start my own interior design business in Regional Queensland. What I learnt from you both has been invaluable; I know it has saved me a couple of years of trial and error in running my own design studio.

Lauren, your warm and welcoming nature made me relax and feel like I belonged in this industry. I am hoping to attend some more of your sessions, both online and in your beautiful studio space in Melbourne. Thank you again

Lauren breaks down the learning into really practical and accessible steps. A calm and reassuring communication style helps guide you to complete design elements yourself and give you confidence to use the tools going forward.

Jade

What a treat to have SketchUp training with Lauren! She is a natural teacher and it was helpful to be taught by a fellow designer. Lauren shared amazing tips that will speed up my SketchUp modelling considerably, and helped build my confidence in using the software. Thanks Lauren!

Bec

Lauren is a wonderfully generous teacher and communicator and offers a wealth of wisdom to new and seasoned Interior Designers. LOVED the online SketchUp tutorial and look forward to completing the full course! If you are considering taking a course, beginner or advanced, you will come away full of ideas, skill and fantastic foundations to move onto the next stage of design. Thanks Lauren, you're a Queeeen!!

We found Sisalla to be upfront about costs, timely with their client contact, as well as very amenable to our suggestions. Lauren has a broad knowledge of design and great taste which we trusted. It was a pleasure to work with them.

If you’re looking for an incredible Interior Architecture and Design Studio you can’t go past Sisalla. Take a look at some of their work and you will see that creating spaces that look, feel and function beautifully, is their bread and butter…We look forward to continuing to engage the services of Sisalla for many more projects into the future.

Recently attended the SketchUp workshop and totally loved it! Lauren has so much patience and a wonderful way of making everyone feel engaged & inspired.
