Testimonials

Kind words from our clients

The Echo team helped us achieve a naturally inspired, locally sourced, purposeful, comfortable and welcoming home. They listened carefully, engaged with a playful yet organized spirit, and were excellent communicators throughout the entire design process. We accomplished an entire design process while our home was under construction over video calls halfway around the world. We admire and strongly recommend their curiosity and competence, which lead to outstanding results and a lasting relationship.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Echo over the past eight years on a number of our properties, and they’ve truly been a joy to work with every step of the way. What stands out most to us is how naturally they understand our style and bring it to life in spaces that feel both beautiful and genuinely comfortable to live in. Their eye for detail is exceptional, they’re incredibly easy to work with, and they approach every project with a calm confidence that makes the whole process feel effortless. Echo has become someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and thoughtful interior decorator.

Testimonial: ECHO quickly synthesised a seemingly contradictory design brief, an eclectic 20-year collection of antiques, and already built structures, and transformed my new home into the beautiful, coherent, effortless, and calming oasis of which I had always dreamed. They have the right instincts, creativity, and ability to read their clients aspirations – combined with a breadth of relationships for custom items and vintage gems – to create spaces that leave me in awe even years after finishing. I learned to trust Elize and Cannelle’s ideas down to the last details and was never disappointed.

We are absolutely delighted with the work of this interior design and decoration company! The design of our new house was executed with exceptional style, great attention to detail, and a perfect understanding of our personal preferences. From the very first consultation to the final implementation, the entire process was professional, friendly, and highly reliable. The colours, materials, and furniture were beautifully coordinated, creating a warm, elegant, and modern atmosphere where we feel comfortable every single day. We can highly recommend Elize and Cannelle to anyone who values quality, creativity, and a truly personal touch!
