TESTIMONIALS
Laura Hollingsworth is an interior design superstar! She dramatically increased the beauty, functionality and capital value of our home. I recommend her unreservedly and would feel privileged to work with her again. Don’t let her soft voice and low-ego approach fool you, Laura is a design genius! I consider the day I engaged Laura one of the luckiest days of my project.
Natarsha, Clareville
I worked with Laura on a full update of our house and she was a delight to work with, making the process as stress free as possible. I absolutely love Laura's sense of style and her ability to build beautiful spaces.
Laura is creative, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, practical and happy to work within your budget. She is open to upcycling items and great at evaluating where money is best spent.
Laura's sketches of cabinetry and building finishes were invaluable. She has a keen eye for detail in the building process and lots of experience in this area. She also provided great recommendations for products and companies to use.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Laura and wouldn't hesitate to use her again ( I miss our design chats!). Laura provided great guidance and advice throughout the process and gave me the confidence to undertake the project. I am thrilled with the outcome of our renos and have Laura to thank for this.
Judy, Mosman
We have bought, renovated and sold three houses. Laura has been an integral part of the design team for each project. Two of three properties achieved street records here in Mosman - enough said.
Laura brings insight, flare and energy, key skills when you are wrestling with a renovation!

Laura's collaboration with our kitchen company really helped us to get the perfect design and layout, we couldn't be happier
Joanna, Mosman
Hollingsworth Design was engaged as our interior design partner, working with Walter Barda Design as architect on a top-to-toe renovation.
Laura and the team at Hollingsworth Design added incalculable value at all stages of the project. From crafting a cohesive look that elevated our home beyond our very high aspirations; to finding design opportunities that maximised space, functionality and living pleasure; to digging in to find practical, cost-saving solutions and directing spend priorities when unforeseen structural issues required a radical budget review; and doing all of this with professionalism, care and positive regard that made for a truly enjoyable process throughout.
Laura has that rare combination of professional excellence and a down-to-earth approach; a deep enjoyment for what she does and a passion for all parts of the project. She comes up with brilliant solutions that can actually be built; and has a strong relationship approach - working with ease across client, architect, builder and the many people who contribute to a successful project.
Laura brings clarity, practicality, decisiveness, strength plus openness, curiosity, creativity and commitment in equal measure. And she is a delight to work with - when it’s easy and when it gets tough. I’ve learned and enjoyed the process more than I could have imaged as a result of all Laura brought and how she brought it. I recommend Laura unreservedly.

Laura and Ralph really helped me to get the most out of our space, working out how to include a butler's pantry was genius and we love how the space flows between zones. I would highly recommend Hollingsworth Design if you want to get it right!
Louise, Beauty Point
We loved working with Laura on our open plan kitchen. She has an artist's eye for colour and tones, a mother's practicality for function and flow and a cook's creativity for bringing it all together to create the heart of the home
Caroline, Mosman
As foreman of a complex, 18-month build, I worked with Laura as our client’s interior designer. She had a rare ability to find creative design solutions that were also practical. She thought about design, but also about ability to build and cost.
Laura also communicated openly. She both offered solutions and listened to industry professionals to build a partnership where everyone was working in the client’s interests to meet design, building and cost goals.
Laura’s contribution to the project was amazing. I’m very proud of the results Laura, the architect and the Cre8ive Building team were able to achieve together and I would welcome the opportunity to work together again.'
