After deciding to embark on an ambitious re-modelling of the ground floor of our home, we knew that we needed some expert advice and guidance to help us with the myriad decisions needed in terms of lay-out, lighting, furnishings and overall design.
Thankfully, our project manager put us in touch with Laurence at Elemental Studio and we are so grateful for her invaluable input into all of the above-mentioned areas. Laurence's expert eye for detail and appreciation of colour and light were partic...

Laurence helped us with the full renovation of our kitchen and bathroom and also drew up a complete lighting plan for our ground floor. Right from the start Laurence encouraged us to consider bold colours and textures, while respecting our personal style, and provided a wide variety of materials to choose from. We loved the fact that she sourced many of the materials from local businesses and she is certainly well connected in the industry. This was a big project but Laurence managed everything...

At short notice Laurence from Elemental Studio came over to assist me with styling our house. After refurbishing our Victorian Town house 4 years ago in a very open plan design we have never been happy with the style of the interiors, we felt like we had some nice pieces of furniture but they didn’t really hang together in a coherent story. We asked Laurence to help style the rooms in a way that would make each space feel like room with a purpose rather than a space we passed through. We wanted...

It has been a pleasure working with Laurence. She has a wonderful ability to incorporate existing pieces and build from there, creating a cohesive design. She is knowledgeable, respectful of budget, and sources products accordingly. Laurence is not a “matchy-matchy” designer — the end result feels natural and lived-in rather than overly designed.

As a teacher in the BTS (Advanced Vocational Diploma) program for Interior Design and Implementation, I welcomed Laurence to my class to present her creative process to our students. She then invited them to apply it to a project over three days. This experience was incredibly enriching for them. Thanks to her attentiveness, availability, and the quality of her guidance, Laurence significantly improved the quality of their individual work and their design proposals. A huge thank you to her!

My partner and I have worked with Laurence for a year on the gut renovation of our apartment where she provided design services and project management. Laurence has a wonderfully collaborative style and encouraged us to go bold with the design of our flat - which we are extremely pleased with - and proposed ideas we wouldn’t have conceived of on our own.
She was valuable to have once construction was underway, working with the builder to see to details or issues as they arose - often at short n...

Laurence helped us find the right colours for our new home. She took the time to get to know our style and preferences and also included the children in the project.
We particularly loved her suggestion to paint the room of our 10-yo in triangle-shaped patterns. We also loved the quirky wall paper options she suggested! Laurence sparked our imagination and brought our and her ideas together in a script that we handed over to the decorators.
Although we haven't realised all decorations yet we n...

Laurence helped us with the interior design of our new house - bottom up!
She was a pleasure to work with. Her patience and understanding through the entire process were incredible. She was able to translate our fuzzy ideas into reality and guide us through the whole process. We liked her approach, starting from getting to know us and what we like. She has a wonderful sense of style, but we never felt she was overbearing; Laurence always took the lead from us, but every idea was more stylish on...

Working with Laurence on the recent central champagne bar at Denorex International was an absolutist dream. Not only were her designs beautiful and a pleasure to bring to life, she was also a joy to work with, her passion for the project was infectious and my entire crew loved the few days we spent on site with her.

Laurence did a magnificent job and totally transformed our living space. Working with her was a real joy. The onboarding process meant that she totally understood what we were trying to achieve. She produced a design which was thoughtful and practical with some clever ideas to maximise the space. She devised a beautiful scheme with some lovely details. We are delighted with the results! Would highly recommend.
