Simone van der Plas Encompass Ideas

I have collaborated with Simone on a couple of projects. She is very professional and I would highly recommend her and her company

Simone has overseen a well overdue kitchen upgrade in our rental property in Wellington. Simone has been great at keeping the team on track and provided great advice on the best options to suit purpose for this limited budget project. Love the colour choices and design - the tenants are so lucky to now have a clean, practical, bright kitchen. Loving the lights too. Thanks Simone!

Simone is geat to work with! She looks at the finer details and really strives for the best quality finish.

Simone presents fresh ideas to her customers and pays attention to detail, maintaining a harmony throughout the home or project regardless of being a partial or complete refit. I have witnessed the lengths Simone goes to in order to ensure authenticity in the era, design or particular theme of her job at hand. Being a Designer of complete integrity, Simone uses products and finishes fit for purpose, that not only are aesthetically pleasing but give longevity and durability. Simone is most professional in her dealings and is always a great pleasure to deal with.

Simone designed the kitchen and provided design consultation and procurement (exterior colours, interior colours, curtains, wallpaper, carpet, tiles) for our new home. She went the extra mile to guide us through the overwhelming process of choosing everything from scratch. She was ultimately mindful of our personal taste but provided us with alternative options that pushed our boundaries (comfortable with showing us her own strong personal style). She has a broad knowledge of products and took some of our high level ideas and identified products that could realise them. Our kitchen is unique and absolutely beautiful but also very practical to live in. We are completely in love with the wallpapers she suggested for us.

Our original kitchen was an absolute shambles until Simone came along with her expertise. Simone has done an excellent job of designing our gallery kitchen and everything works perfectly well and all the appliances/kitchen units work in conjunction with each other as well as keeping within our budget. The colour scheme and the kitchen layout is excellent and we are more than happy with it and highly recommend her for any future design work.
