WHO WE ARE
“In 1998, I established Visual Impact, an interior consultancy. This followed my career in visual merchandising, styling and the operation of my own antique interiors store. I have always had such a love of interiors and am inspired to help my clients achieve their dream home. I feel it is so important to listen closely to your customers, take on board their desires and help them to create a living space that works for them personally. I love the excitement when you push a client’s boundaries and take them out of their comfort zone to create a look they could never have imagined or had the confidence to orchestrate themselves. To see their enthusiasm and appreciation of the end result is so rewarding.”
Visual Impact is based in Sydney and was founded in 1998. The firm’s designer has worked on residential projects ranging from as simple as colour consulting to as intricate as custom designed cabinetry & complete interior restyling for real estate sales. Karen has also written numerous design articles for the leading design and decor magazines in Australia including House & Garden magazine & Renovate magazine.
The key to great design is capturing the spirit of the client and the essence of the space and Visual Impact aims at showcasing the clients style and taste while utilising the space to it’s full potential. Visual Impact is a full service firm specializing in mid to high end residential projects. Our priority is listening to clients and working with them to develop a design concept that is functional and represents their design aesthetic. We collaborate closely with clients to make sure the design is exactly what they are looking for, whether it be as simple as selecting paint colours to as extensive as a complete design package.
Every project is different, but we start with an initial consultation in which a client can openly collaborate with a designer to discuss preferences, budget and project scope. We then set out to transform you space based on the initial discussions – be it as elaborate as new furniture, paints, decor and fabrics or as simple as re-arranging your space and styling it according to it’s best form and function.
