Our highest honour is knowing how much our clients love living in their new homes again after their projects are completed. It is not magazine covers & awards that feeds our creative passion, but how we affect humans in their day to day lives. New life-changing energy can abound in a renovated space, fuelling more joy in relationships. It never ceases to amaze us the positive changes we see in the clients we design for. We care for our clients because they are like family to us.
“We hired Key Piece to complete an extensive interior renovation to a 1890’s double brick house. We have renovated houses before, but never this smoothly. Having Key Piece on board made everything so much better and I’m incredibly grateful to have had them working on our project. We interviewed multiple companies from the Houzz website, but really felt a connection with Jo-Anne from Key Piece. Jo-Anne was incredibly easy to communicate with and was very fast to grasp what our style and taste was. This made everything so much easier to move forward with. The absolute bulk of our renovation (design, implementation, etc) was overseen by Key Piece due to the fact that we were overseas at the time. Jo-Anne and her team worked tirelessly to give us detailed plans, estimates and the information needed so we could proceed. Once we were overseas, we had regular calls and emails from Jo-Anne stating the progress and how everything was going. I cannot stress enough how much work and effort Jo-Anne and her team of contractors put into our house and how immensely pleased we are with the results. Once the budget and timeline was confirmed, everything was as they said it would be (the budget stayed to what was estimated, as did the timeline). The end results were nothing short of amazing. We would not hesitate to recommend Key Piece to anyone looking to have a renovation done.”

“Our home was an 18 year old townhouse that we gutted and transformed into a modern day classic. The “Key Piece” to what we have achieved was because of Jo-Anne and Emma. They are knowledgeable, creative and seasoned professionals. We had ideas of what and how we wanted our home to be and in the initial meeting they listened and asked a lot of questions. From there they took it to the next level of design. We have our dream home, it is beautiful but also functional and everything has it’s place. We have referred Key Piece to our friends who have engaged their services, and would happily engage them again, but doubt we will, because we are not ever going to move!”

“Jo-Anne and her team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Somehow they got inside our heads sufficiently that they actually knew what we wanted and needed before we did. The attention to detail, professional and friendly manner and readiness to guide us in the right direction were critical. The trades people they recommended were reliable, detail oriented and straight forward to deal with. Our kitchen and storage is an unqualified aesthetic and ergonomic success which makes cooking and living with a family of 5 a pleasure and I know it will look just as good in 5-10 years time. We loved Key Piece so much we are already using them again on another home project!” (Note after this review, we continued to design 6 separate projects with Emilie, including their custom Living Room wall unit & furnishings, 2 Bathrooms, Laundry, Master Walk-in Robe, Study & Bedroom joinery & lastly, their Powder Room.)

“Key Piece were great to deal with. The attention to detail in completing the design brief was amazing. They incorporated all of our requests. They were incredibly creative and came up with a wonderful design which was beyond what we hoped for. They were very helpful throughout all stages of the project. We used Key Piece referred tradespeople who were all professional and easy to deal with. Their advice was fantastic and we now have wonderful, colourful & unique spaces. I suppose the best recommendation is that we are back again to use Key Piece for our kitchen renovation.”

“After purchasing a 20 year old townhouse on Beach Rd, we didn’t hesitate to contact Jo-Anne straight away to draw up plans for a total renovation. We had used ‘Key Piece’ on 2 previous occasions and were extremely happy with the result – we felt confident that Jo-Anne knew us well enough to know our vision. Jo-Anne first viewed the place mid-December and asked us to make a photo book of anything we saw that we liked over the Xmas break. By mid Feb, Jo-Anne had drawn up all the plans and spent a day (6 hours!!) with us going through every room sharing her ideas/thoughts with us. This was an amazing, thorough walk through of the whole house… she came with 2 suitcases full of tiles, paint cards, carpet, flooring, wallpaper, bench samples, photos of lighting and furniture options, you name it, she came with it!!! She had nailed it, had taken on board what we had in mind. The quality of Jo-Anne’s drawings and the amount of detail was outstanding. Key Piece stood by their design 100% and were very confident that they knew what was right for the space to utilise the stunning view from the main living room. We used all of Jo-Anne’s recommended tradesmen and Key Piece handled and organised the whole project. Everything flowed so easily with regards to getting prices and pulling the job together. From the builder, plumber, painter and electrician, we were extremely pleased with their work ethic, the quality of their work and attention to detail. They were all easy to work with and kept us informed throughout the 3 month renovation. Key Piece helped finish the job after the initial design by sourcing furniture, light fittings and décor and as I sit typing up this review, relaxing on my most comfortable sofa and looking out to sea, I have to say thanks so much to Jo-Anne and Emma for all of their hard work and professionalism to ensure that our renovation was finished within the time frame and within budget. Our dream has come to life and we are so happy! We won’t be going far for a long time now…”
