Amanda is particularly talented in the use of colour. She helped me renovate the kitchen and bathrooms of my 1990's apartment and I am delighted with the results.

On our return to New Zealand after many years living overseas we engaged Designworx to assist us with design and decorating a major renovation project over 3 levels. It was both a pleasure and fun to work with Amanda and her assistance with interior & exterior colours, tiling, wallpaper, furniture together with incorporating existing furniture that we had collected in Australia, United Kingdom, Europe & Russia exceeded our expectations. The transformation was magic classic chic which was the brief.

This is the second time that we have used Amanda to help us renovate. This time it is a new build and blank canvas and we are delighted with the result. Amanda managed to incorporate some of our favourite pieces into a very different style of house. Her vision with colours and interpreting our likes and dislikes is just amazing. Her availability and communication were also outstanding.

We have worked with Amanda Neil for over 15 years as a supplier in both Fabric and Furniture.
Amanda is extremely thorough and thoughtful of any project she is working on as her dedication for her client is in the forefront of her mind.
Amanda is extremely professional, her clients are always wonderful to work with and it is a pleasure working on any project with her.
We have work on large scale projects with Amanda including a very significant offshore project which was 18 months in the making. Very exciting for all involved.

Amanda and Designworx have worked with us on this project from initial concept through the design and build phase and beyond. Amanda listened carefully to our brief and requirements and gave us concepts and designs that fitted our brief as well as challenged our thinking! There were always a number of options with design elements and at different price points. Amanda liaised with both us and the builders and contractors to ensure timeliness and quality of the build. Our house now works the way we wanted and we have had nothing but positive comments. I have no hesitation in recommending Amanda and Designworx.

Amanda helped us refine our design ideas for the renovation of our period villa. She successfully blended period features with our desire for a modern home. She was insightful and patient as we worked through the options and offered great practical advice. I highly recommend her and the team.

Amanda is a true professional with lots of real life experience to call on and assist with guiding you through a minefield when you take on a large renovation.
There is so much product available and so much choice it can be difficult
Amanda understands the process you are going through and in our case helped us make decisions on colour, texture and tones which in the end works.
Amanda gave us ideas which we would never have thought of and saved us from mistakes.
We enjoyed working with Amanda
We can recommend Amanda with confidence

Amanda and I are of like minds: We are both Professional Members of the Designers' Institute NZ. (DINZ is the only institution in NZ that gives Interior Designers accreditation for their work practice and ethic.) We combine forces for large commercial projects under our Company, Design Alchemy. I totally respect and appreciate Amanda's knowledge, work quality, and experience. There is no other Interior Designer that I would even contemplate combining forces with.

I have enjoyed working with Amanda on several projects over a number of years, especially last year when we renovated the major part of the first storey of our house. Amanda introduces warmth and colour in ways I would never consider, with professionalism and a close eye on budgets set for her. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience across all aspects of interiors and she produces unique and special designs. We are thrilled with our major renovation and have asked Amanda to assist further with redecorating since.

I first engaged Amanda after a bad experience with a designer which resulted in some design themes in the house that I did not want to continue in the lounge/living areas but I also did not want the cost of redoing the existing renovations. Amanda came up with a design that worked in perfectly with what had already been done and left me with rooms that I was very happy with. She initially started with the lounge/dinning area in 2014 and then moved to a total renovation of the kitchen/snug area in 2015/16. The kitchen design works extremely well and I wonder now how I even coped with the previous one! Sometimes it was hard to make the choices she gave me as all options would have worked well.

We had Designworx design and project manage the interior design of our whole house bungalow renovation in 2015. Amanda and her team were friendly, efficient and professional. Amanda quickly understood the design "look and feel" we were after and took away the hard work by finding most of the products and materials we needed. She kept in touch on an almost daily basis with us and our builder to ensure product was ready when needed. Designworx always met time lines and were clear and upfront with their costs. They have continued to keep in touch and recently, when we had a fault with the bench top, have gone above and beyond expectations to find a solution without charging us. Highly recommend them.
