"Having Itchy feet to whether move house or pour extra love into our much loved home we built 15 years ago. We decided to engage in Chelsea’s services after doing some of our own research and came across Indigo Interior Design. Making the initial phone call & having our first meeting we instantly felt that we had found our perfect person. Feeling overwhelmed with all our ideas and making the right choices with design vs functionality, paint colours, handles, tiles, fixtures/fitting, soft furnishing, cushions, throws & décor!!
Chelsea is the queen of all design & making things happen all whilst listening to our ideas/needs and keeping our home a functional space for our little family. Her extensive knowledge was invaluable and we feel so lucky to have had her involved at an arm’s reach. Always available to take a call, return a quick text/email, phone ahead with suppliers and arrange smooth deliveries. It has been an absolute pleasure & we can’t thank you enough Chelsea for all your endless hours of hard work in making our home such a beautiful place to raise our girls and enjoy all our renovated spaces, it makes us proud to show our friends & family what we created as a team. For anyone looking at potentially having Indigo Interiors being involved with your next project we can 100% highly recommend Chelsea"

"We were first introduced the Chelsea from Indigo Design through our builder, Deep Blue Builders.
Chelsea was involved throughout from the plan to completion which for us as first time home builders, gave us a lot of comfort.
Chelsea was open to hearing our many like and dislikes in houses and from these she formulated a design concept. The amount of pressure this took off us “guessing” about every detail was brilliant.
Throughout the process, Chelsea was contactable, diligent in responses, had many site visits with our builder in our presence and absence.
The end result speaks for itself. We are constantly showered with compliments about our home, its finish and furnishings – all done with what we call “a Touch of Chelsea”.
Chelsea helped source the art, mirrors, furniture, linen, throws, pillows lighting, colours, tiles, flooring and so much more. It all looks amazing and what seemed like a big expense at the start actually turned out to be the best value for money we spent on the build.
We had training in pillow and throw placement and even towel folding for maximum effect. It’s just amazing how things you never thought would work together just pop!
At the recent photo shoot of the house, a little more “Touch of Chelsea” was added and again it transformed the place.
We are extremely proud of our home and would not hesitate to get Chelsea involved again. Brilliant all the way through!"

korumburra project
"Working with Chelsea on my bathroom and powder room was the best investment in my renovation. Chelsea helped to bring my ideas to life and guide me when I felt lost and overwhelmed. Chelsea never took charge and created what she wanted, she helped take an unrefined vision and refined it to everything I hoped it could be. Chelsea was readily available and most of all reduced the stress of what is a really stressful process. Thanks Chelsea."

eltham zig zag project
"Our Federation style home was in much need of a refresh. Our aim, to breathe new life into it without losing the essence of the original style. Chelsea was recommended to us by Levan Design and was great at providing options and ideas, supporting us in some of our bold colour choices and encouraging us to forge ahead when we weren't totally sure. She was very patient as I changed my mind several times about the choice of tiles! Chelsea listened to our requirements and worked with us to make them a reality. For example, we were keen to retain cabinets and vanities that were in good condition rather than adding to landfill. Chelsea helped us to do this while transforming the existing fittings to a more contemporary look. She had a great team of trades working with her but was equally happy to work with alternatives that we selected. Her experience and love of design meant we were well guided throughout the renovation. And all this during the challenging COVID lockdown period! We love the final result and are glad that we had Chelsea by our side".

eltham ruskin project
"In desperate need of a renovation and feeling overwhelmed by endless choice, we engaged Chelsea to help us renovate our main bathroom and ensuite. With our first appointment on-site, we knew Chelsea was the right person to guide us through our renovation. Her design suggestions ensured that the updated rooms were in keeping with the existing character of our home. Not only does Chelsea have a wealth of design knowledge & experience, she is approachable and friendly and always ensures her clients feel heard. Her extensive network of reliable & friendly trades work seamlessly together making the whole renovation process less stressful. It was a pleasure working with Chelsea and we would highly recommend her for all of your design needs."

cape paterson project
"Chelsea has a keen eye for detail, and true care for her clients. After a couple of quick, initial discussions and sending her my external selections, Chelsea brought together a cohesive, organic flow between my external and internal palette. I felt as though Chelsea had listened with care and brought what was in my head into reality. Chelsea's true expertise is in listening to her clients, understanding their wants and needs and creating a vision they did not think was possible. Chelsea has given me my dream home, and I am looking forward to many years in my calm and inviting space."

rosebud project
"I first met Chelsea through my work, she was a patient of the practitioner I worked for. It was quite ironic that we hit it off from the very first time we met, so much so that every month Chelsea would arrive at least a half hour early for her appointment so that we could have a good chat. It was from this I discovered what Chelsea did for employment and this led to us working together in updating my family home ready to sell so that my husband and I could downsize. Our friendship grew and grew plus Chelsea taught me lots about colour, design, and the most important “LESS IS MORE”. 4 years on I have just built a beautiful new home in Rosebud and with Chelsea’s guidance and help as a family we couldn’t be happier. Her advice along the way was invaluable and her suggestions of simple things like niches, VJ board bed heads, to colour of tiles, walls to match the outside was exquisite. The home is now finished and the connection between builder, cabinet maker, tradies, myself and Chelsea was unbelievable, we were always on the same page, then to top it off the decorating and finished touches were impeccable right down to the artwork and bedding. I can’t thank Chelsea enough and I must say the work in the background was something I didn’t think about, as I had never built a house before, she just took all the stress away. I would highly recommend Indigo Design - Chelsea Simpson for any project."

wallan project
"I heard about Chelsea from Indigo Interior Design from a girlfriend who had Chelsea help her with styling her new townhouse in Northcote. When Ray and I purchased our established “renovators delight” in Wallan on a bit of acreage we contacted Chelsea for some inspiration. From the moment she entered the house on her first visit on site she had a vision of how it would work the best for us. After deciding to change a few rooms around we started picking colours. Before Chelsea left after that first meeting on site, we had our colour scheme all sorted and a real vision on how our new home was going to work best and look. We met up with Chelsea 2 days later to choose ALL our fittings and hardware. It was so easy. I usually tell Chelsea what I’m after and she will come back with a few options, and I pick the ones I love the best. I’m not a very decisive person so this has been a big help to me. Ray and I have contacted Chelsea on many occasions, and she has been more than willing to help with anything we throw at her. She has solved many a discussion between Ray and me. Chelsea has made the renovations such an easy process with her wealth of knowledge and flair for interior designing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Indigo Interior Design to anyone who was thinking about getting some interior designing advice for either a brand-new home or for renovations."

eltham woodridge project
"I first contacted Chelsea after reaching a stalemate when it came to choosing colours, both internally and externally, and tile choices for our extensive Eltham renovation. We met together amongst all the 2020 chaos and hit it off straight away! With Chelsea’s love of everything Hamptons, much like myself, it was a match made in heaven. After the initial colour and tile choices were promptly made on our first visit, I quickly realised that Chelsea’s extensive library of ideas and connections were invaluable, and that we could definitely use her help moving forward. We proceeded to work side by side making selections together, everything from window furnishings, sofas, armchairs, artwork to rugs, bed linen, décor and other furniture.... there was so much to do! Chelsea worked tirelessly, always with a smile on her face if I met with her, or with a kind email checking in on the welfare of myself and family before we got down to business. There were also a few frantic emergency phone calls from my end to contend with, on the days that something needed to be changed urgently. And all of this executed by Chelsea with a calm demeanour and can-do attitude. I would like to thank Chelsea, on behalf of myself and family, from the bottom of our hearts as this project now comes to a close in 2022, for all of her effort, time, energy and heart she has put into our project. It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside Chelsea and we would not hesitate in recommending Indigo Interior Design to anyone in the market for a fabulous Interior Designer. Thank you, Chelsea."

malvern east project
"With Chelsea's help we transformed our kitchen and back room into a beautiful, functional living space. Chelsea was fantastic to work with. She provided just the right amount of choice, for example, guiding us to choose kitchen tiles which are patterned and fun; we love them. Our kitchen has enhanced our life, as we have more storage space and plenty of room for preparation.I love the organisation this kitchen has provided us. With Chelsea's assistance we have also painted the outside of the house, giving our home not only a new look, but new life. Our family loved having Chelsea visit us. She was inclusive, engaging and so fun to work with. Chelsea was very mindful of our budget and happily worked within this. We look forward to working with Chelsea again in the future as we make further changes to our home. I would highly recommend Chelsea for anyone considering making changes to their home."

essendon project
"Thank you so much Chelsea. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for your service. The best decision I made throughout my build was to take on your amazing expertise. The way in which you just understood my needs and helped create the most perfect home for me was priceless. The journey was seamless thanks to you. Every step along the way , you guided me perfectly, and pulled me into line when you knew I was right off track ! The overall experience of building was a joy (contrary to what many others experienced) thanks to you. You have made our house a home, brought it to life, and made it a sanctuary for myself and my family. Eternally grateful Chelsea !"

eltham flint project
"What started as some assistance with colour selections for new windows and interior walls gave us the confidence to engage Chelsea for bathrooms, bedroom, window furnishing and floor covering design. Chelsea was great at working with us, identifying our styles and strengths and knowing when to offer advice and combine her advice with our own ideas. She was always available and very prompt in returning calls or messages at any time. We couldn’t be happier with the end result of our newly renovated home and the service that Chelsea provided. Next step will be utilising Chelsea's attention to detail to finish the house off with a kitchen design. We will definitely recommend Chelsea to anyone needing a little or a lot of help with their home design."

lower plenty project
"Chelsea provided a personal and professional service to us as we finally dived in to our dream kitchen renovation. She pointed us in the right direction in terms of the actual design of the kitchen as well as tile and surface ideas. She provided a fantastic cabinet maker also and some really great tile choices. We had a vision and she certainly helped us bring it all together. We couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen that now provides us with a space that brings our family and friends together with our love of food and entertaining. I would have no hesitation is recommending Chelsea for any design and renovation ideas."

research project
"Indigo Interior Design was recommended to us by our builder. I am forever grateful that he suggested we consult with Chelsea as she made the whole process so simple and swift. We had a tight deadline and Chelsea willingly worked with our time restraints to select and order all necessary items so that we could get started as soon as possible. She grasped our style instantly which made decision making easy and relatively seamless. Chelsea truly saved us so much time by directing us straight to the products and then immediately sourcing the quotes. She regularly liaised with the builder and always kept us in the loop. We couldn’t be happier with the modern, user-friendly design she created for us. I am definitely keen to work with Chelsea again on our next project.”

black rock project
"Chelsea did a fantastic job selecting furniture, accessories, lighting and flooring for our new home. She quickly developed a great understanding of what we liked and we immediately developed great confidence in her selections. Chelsea has extensive product knowledge, a great supply chain and she worked well with the trades people working on-site. She is a great communicator, well organised and made the job look easy. It was a pleasure working with Chelsea and we love the outcome of her work"

toorak project
"We first contacted Chelsea to help us with the internal colour scheme for our home. We were thrilled with her initial help and guidance that we decided she was the person to help us with our full renovation. This incorporated everything; specifying new flooring, lighting, soft and hard surfaces. She then guided us through internal décor including feature walls and painting our ceilings charcoal in the living and dining room. She continued her magic into the laundry, wet areas and kitchen by coordinating the resurfacing and transformation of our existing veneer built in cabinetry to 2 Pac paneling throughout. We were also very impressed with Chelsea’s ability to project manage and liaise with all the trades involved; concreter, tilers, plumber, painters, carpenters, electrician, carpet layers and glaziers. This in itself was such a relief. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend and endorse Chelsea to undertake any project you might have. Thank you, Chelsea for our beautifully transformed home and your professional help."

northcote project
"My husband and I were time poor and uncertain of what would fit in with the different style of our new home. Chelsea took the stress out of the process, located and recommended custom designed furniture such as bedside tables, entertainment units, our couch and a wine rack (with a draw for storage of keys, wallets, mobile phones etc. Items that had previously cluttered on our kitchen bench!). All at reasonable prices, beautifully matched and custom designed and built to exactly fit the available space. It is all brought together with linen, artwork and cushions. Chelsea listened to what we wanted and didn't try to impose her taste on us, such as when I decided to change the colour scheme she had carefully planned and insisted that our favourite artwork and even favourite family photos be somehow included. We would recommend Chelsea and her services to anyone considering a renovation, revamp or purchasing a new home"

balwyn project
"Chelsea has been very professional in assisting us with our recent bathroom renovation, and with further ideas for changes to our home. She was always available to meet us either at home or at a retail store and offered good ideas for our renovation with honest and thoughtful feedback to our selections. Her contact with tradespeople was exceptional, and she always followed them up with their availability and progress. Her tradies were very skilled and professional and met all deadlines. Our bathroom looks stunning and we are very happy with changes made to our living room and lighting in our house. We would not hesitate to recommend Chelsea to family and friends"
