Testimonials

Rosanna has assisted us with several projects over the last 15 years or so since she was recommended to us.
These were initially relatively small briefs, such as the internal redecoration of our older post-war home in Coorparoo. Given a modest budget, Rosanna designed and procured a kitchen, remedied some small “quirks” in the room designs, recommended an internal colour scheme, procured and managed the internal re-painting, and delivered a home that was eventually rented for more than 6 years while we were overseas.
We recommended Rosanna to my mother, who wanted to internally update a 70’s brick highset. Again, she delivered a modernisation of the downstairs living areas to our complete satisfaction, and at a budget mum could afford.
When we returned from overseas, we found a two bedroom character Queenslander in Wilston. After a complete renovation to house our family of 6 adults, we turned to Rosanna to decorate and furnish the house. We had many pieces we had collected along the way, and Rosanna incorporated these with new pieces she recommended and procured. Where we wanted items we’d seen but couldn’t find in stores, Rosanna sourced these or found craftsmen who could make them to order. This was a completely larger brief, with a more significant budget that we’d considered on earlier projects, but was commensurate with the style and scale of the house. We are delighted with the result.
We’re happy to recommend Rosanna for projects from the modest to the grand. She listens to the brief, gives advice, and will achieve a result within any reasonable budget for the scope of the project. She is tireless in sourcing solutions to meet the design brief, and probably spends more time than she should to ensure that we clients are fully satisfied.

Rosanna has a warm personality and an obvious love for design and color. She listened to my ideas intently and provided amazing suggestions. She inspired ideas in my imagination. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Rosanna. I highly recommend her.

I would highly recommend Rosanna for any renovation work you are considering around your home. Rosanna is a professional and I am so happy we went with her plans in re-modelling our en-suite and walk-in-robe in the master bedroom. We also love the colours Rosanna suggested for the wall and floor tiles. I would not hesitate in contacting Rosanna again with our next project around the house.

RJP have put together a few designs for us now. I've found Rosanna to be personable, professional and prompt. We have been extremely impressed with her ideas, designs and justifications for them. We would confidently recommend her services!

Douglas Raisin

We recently worked with Rosanna from RJP on a new home in Brisbane North. She was prompt, professional and more importantly her ability to visualise spaces, colours and tile finishes really helped our client envisage the end product. We would highly recommend her.
Thanks Rosanna.

I came across Rosanna's name and contact details on the Houzz website. She responded promptly to my original contact and to my request for advice with colour, always communicating in a friendly manner and going the extra mile to please. Her ideas with external colour helped me greatly and I especially like the way she presented her suggestions with colour overlays on the photograph of my house. I would highly recommend her service.

Where to start Rosanna from RJP Design and Decor? “Worlds Greatest Designer” seems appropriate. Thank you so much for all that you have done for us with our Golden Beach unit renovation. After wasting some time with cabinet makers who could not see my vision, fortunately I found you.
The Kitchen/living, Bathroom and Ensuite designs you created for our forever home always looked great on paper but to see how they have come to life is mind blowing. Your attention to every little detail in gaining us so much storage space and providing us with not only functional rooms, but creating such beautiful spaces for us to enjoy.
You made the selection of finishes easy by getting to know us, listening attentively to us and asking lots of questions. You worked out my style when I couldn’t. Thank you for helping me see how tiny changes can have a huge impact.
You went above and beyond what was expected of you, always available to meet with our builder and contractors on our behalf. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and I shall be recommending you to all our family and friends.

I was very pleased with the design service Rosanna provided regarding the external colours of our house. During the consultation process I felt really comfortable that she understood both our needs and the idiosyncrasies of our house in order to achieve a huge improvement through good design decisions.

Rosemarie Van Haeften

Rosanna is a good communicator, listening to our initial renovation ideas & then offering ways to shape & improve our plans.

We wanted to retain the heritage character of our 100 year old Queenslander & blend it with contemporary comfort. This was achieved through Rosanna's extensive knowledge, experience & her dogged hard work to find the best solutions. She liaised with the builders & contractors & provided them with a comprehensive specifications sheet once all choices were made.

I am so pleased we found RJP Design & Decor, Rosanna's support removed any potential stress that an extensive renovation can harbour. I would highly recommend her.

Susan Gedda

On meeting with Rosanna it was clear to me she was a professional in her field. Rosanna completed the project efficiently and in good time. We were very pleased with the result and our feedback from the owners within the complex has been nothing but positive.
