Our journey with Stephanie began when we sought her expertise in transforming our 2010 2- bedroom Redfern apartment into a stunning and unique living space. For nearly a year, Stephanie worked tirelessly on our project, taking our feedback and ideas to heart while consistently offering innovative, clean and creative concepts that exceeded our expectations. She even thoughtfully matched the shape of our mirrors to the coffee table, providing expert advice on offsetting the heights for a visually stunning effect. We would never have been able to bring these elements together ourselves!

In the bathrooms, Stephanie truly outdid herself. She crafted two distinct spaces that were both special and unique.

Her choice of fixtures and finishes elevated the rooms, and the niches she recommended have become a standout feature that consistently garners compliments from our guests.

Her most significant contributions was her ability to seamlessly bring the project together. She kept us on track, ensured we stayed within budget, and expertly sourced and collaborated with our contractors. Her involvement in every aspect of the project, including sourcing furniture, not only simplified the process for us but also guaranteed that the end result was a cohesive and beautifully designed home.. Thank you, Stephanie, for going above and beyond in making our Redfern apartment an absolute masterpiece. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Working with Stephanie Ferrara on our South Coogee interiors and renovation project was an absolute pleasure. Her eye for detail, creative vision, and ability to bring harmony to both design and function truly elevated the entire process. From the very beginning, Stephanie demonstrated an incredible understanding of our aesthetic and goals, translating them into a space that feels both sophisticated and deeply personal.

Her professionalism, clear communication, and dedication to quality were evident every step of the way. Stephanie was not only a key contributor but also a calming and confident presence during what could have been a stressful time. We’re incredibly grateful for her support and expertise—our home wouldn’t be the same without her input.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking a passionate and talented design professional.

As a first-time studio owner doing a fit-out, I had no idea where to begin—but Layback Design guided me through every step of the process. Their communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring, which made the whole experience so much smoother. Thanks to their team, I finally got to see my vision come to life, and it turned out even better than I imagined!
