We started our build thinking ‘we’ve got this’. Then as the build was progressing we looked at our space and said where do we start…. We reached out to Steph and she guided us through paint finishes, flooring choices, light fittings, soft furnishings, joinery hardware and homewares.

She combined all these elements and the end result is spectacular. Throughout the process Steph was reachable with feedback and her opinion on what we were purchasing for our home. We highly recommend Steph for her energetic approach to a project. We love our home and the space that she has created for us.

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.

Stephanie's exceptional talent for design became evident in each room of our apartment. In the living room, she brilliantly executed our 'modern and minimal’ concept by balancing light rugs with darker furniture pieces and softening the space with elegant curtains. The crowning touches were the eye-catching pendant light and the striking blue chairs, which together tied the entire space together. 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.

There were also the small touches throughout the apartment that Stephanie assisted with, such as curtains, blinds and artworks. While we didn’t use some of the specific elements, they provided a great foundation for future projects, which is fantastic and exciting to have.

One of Stephanie's 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.

Stephanie's unwavering commitment to her clients, combined with her extraordinary creativity and passion for design, made our dream renovation a reality. She was always understanding and considerate of our needs, which was critical for two young, busy professionals renovating for the first time. Every element of our home is beautiful, cohesive, and exudes a luxurious feel. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie at Laid Back Lee for anyone seeking to elevate their living space to new heights. Thank you, Stephanie, for going above and beyond in making our Redfern apartment an absolute masterpiece. We couldn’t have done it without you!

We've been lucky enough to have worked with Steph over multiple stages of her career. She's proactive, talented, and highly professional. She has excellent insights in design, and is always a pleasure. We have no doubt that she has a long and rewarding career ahead. 5 stars!

We hired Stephanie and the team at LLD to assist with our renovation and interior design and styling. From Day 1 of signing with the team, stephanie sent suppliers to our home to measure and quote, she project managed the entire project and was there on the final day where we set up furniture, had curtains hung and even came with a fresh bunch of flowers to style our new kitchen. Couldn’t recommend more highly. So professional and so talented!

You should hire Laidback Lee Design Studio as Stephanie and her team are incredibly hardworking, polished in their design skill and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty at installs! They are overall lovely people to work with! They are SO kind and the team know their stuff. Steph got the designs done in record time and we LOVED and ordered almost every item featured!

I have been working with Stephanie and Laidback Lee Design for just on two years now.

I have collaborated closely with Steph from design conception right through to website development, marketing, social media and soon to be an expansion. I simply couldn’t have done it with out the team! The professionalism, communication and punctual responses/action took a lot of stress and delay out of my business opening. The ongoing support has undoubtedly helped my business expand and I will continue to use Laidback Lee Design well into the future. I highly recommend Steph and her team.

Exception service. Stephanie responded to emails, and whatsapp messages at all hours. She and the team attended my property in Sydney and sent me frequent updates of the renovation while I was in Singapore and away for business. The team completely handled the project from trades to deliveries of smaller items to style our Sydney home.

Incredible design style too… will definitely be back to work with you all! Thank you!

I have had Stephanie from LLD help me with two spaces (so far!) in my holiday house. Her and her team have been fabulous to deal with and I'm now looking to get her guidance with our extension. She has guided me and provided wonderful ideas and pieces that have made my spaces really shine. Cohesiveness between spaces was important to me and she has done this in a stunning way and I feel so happy in my spaces. I would say that she brought my ideas to life, but in reality she helped me put my ideas together and developed them into something I couldn't do on my own. Would 100% recommend!

Exceptional emerging designer in Australia and a pocket rocket. Had Laidback Lee Designer Stephanie in our space and within a couple of days the redesign was ready for our approval. We loved the entire design and ordered all the pieces which were right on budget. A very thoughtful designer and amazing person to know in the industry!

Excellent service and industry knowledge. Thinks outside the box and designs incredible spaces that appeals to all styles.

Loved working with the team at Laidback Lee Design. Stephanie some great ideas that I hadn't thought of and worked with me creating spaces we both loved. Her connections, knowledge and know how are essential in planning and executing and bringing to life the vision.

Incredible service and expertise. Stephanie and her team at Laidback Lee design are phenomenal! So helpful, cost effective and stuck to my budget but exceeded expectations! Thank you again.
