“Hills & West creates balanced, harmonious spaces that are bound together by a carefully considered design narrative”

Here are just some of their beautiful stories.

Dining Room

“We engaged Hills and West Services after a friend highly recommended them. We are so thrilled we did. Both Aisha and Jana work really well together and bounce their interior ideas off each other. We gave them a brief to update our formal dining room and they delivered above our expectations. They provided several ideas and combinations and stretched us to think beyond our comfort zone. We are so delighted we did as we could not be happier with their suggestions. We have gone from using a dining room on the rare occasion to every weekend.  It was so much fun working them and it was very evident they not only have great interior design and flare but also a strong relationship with many high end retailers. 

 

I highly recommend Hills and West services and are already excited about starting our next project with them!”

Downsizing

“The exceptional service we received from Hills & West Interiors is beyond compare. We had downsized to an apartment and needed to update the new interior and replace some furniture we had outgrown. Aisha and Jana have been a joy to work with and immediately made the effort to understand our own personal (somewhat eclectic) style and worked with us to enhance our living environment. Curating some wonderful corners in our new home with new paint colours, carpet, rugs, furniture, accessories and an amazing wall hang of our art. They are meticulous, organised and professional. Full of bright ideas, every room was carefully looked at. I cannot recommend them enough; we are so pleased with the results!”

Baby on the Way

“I just wanted to say thank you for all your advice and help sourcing and managing the interiors for our new 2 bed. I was stressed with the move, finding a tenant for our old home and the upcoming baby, that your calm advice, so tailored to our needs, was very helpful. 

I just loved how in an instance you got the vibe of the look I was aiming for but at the same time really adapted to the needs of practicality in the choices of pieces to suit us as we transition into becoming a family with a young child.

 

Something else that impressed me was, every time I called, you were always on the ball, remembering every detail immediately as if it was your own home. The service you provide is so personal yet highly professional, which is rare to find.

Thank you. Now we are moved in and calmly waiting for the baby to arrive.”

Help me with my wishlist

“I had my eye on some wish list pieces. Aisha helped me source them, select fabrics and finishing, and install. Her sense of style and can-do attitude really made a difference. It was an enjoyable process, and the results were awesome. I now have my home looking just like I dreamt.”

Help me get Airbnb ready

‘Firstly I really enjoyed the process. 

Aside from the creative input you are super organised, reliable and fun to work with. I could not be happier and have been glowing in praise to people around me. My experience is that you go above and beyond. Which is amazing. Thanks.’

A work space that inspired me

‘I wanted a work space that inspired me. I work evenings for the UK financial market and wanted to optimise storage and functionality in my home office. I reached out to Aisha to create something that suited my work style and the team designed a custom built-in library, shelving and chaise lounge that enabled me to optimise my evening working hours. We worked with Navan Joinery and together the team made the process easy. The final product is of the highest quality and I am more productive than ever. Thanks.’

Kitchen in a pandemic

“Aisha and Jana did a great job designing and project managing our new kitchen. Right in the middle of a pandemic! Both had great ideas and listened to our needs. They are great problem solvers and were so wonderful to work with. Professional, detailed and responsive from start to finish. Thanks so much for helping us. We love our new kitchen. Thanks to you both for achieving our brief so perfectly.”

Something Missing

“I wanted to update the look and feel of my home, and a friend of mine recommended Aisha from Hills & West Interiors. I engaged her services and what a great decision that was! She helped with every aspect, from direction and styling ideas to furniture sourcing and management. From key pieces through to furnishings and finer details. The brief was to focus on my open plan living/dining room and main bedroom. Aisha was able to bring together existing furniture and furnishings along with new, and convert an underwhelming living/dining room in to a luxurious and comfortable space filled with soul. The main bedroom was definitely ‘missing something’, and Aisha was able to bring smart and stylish ideas that created depth and warmth. Her attention to detail, her passion, knowledge, style and genuine desire to achieve something special was apparent throughout. Next, we are starting on updating my study.

I would highly recommend Aisha, both on a personal and professional level – she is amazing!

Grade 2 Listed Manor

“Aisha helped style the interior design of my home, a grade 2 listed Georgian manor house in Surrey.  I was lucky enough for her to come and do a site visit before the project commenced where she consulted on the colour scheme and the plans for each room.  She was also available for zoom and telephone consults throughout the process which will helped as she could see how the rooms where developing.  Even though there is a big-time difference between Sydney and London, Aisha was easy to get hold of and flexible in terms of how we communicated.

 

Given this project is my home and not for imminent resale, it was great to see Aisha’s diversity in terms of styling and thematics, compared to my property development which was a more restrained brief.  With this project she was able to tailor the interiors to my personality, which was critical to me.  I tend to want to pack too much colour and craziness into each room and Aisha has been instrumental in helping me exercise some restraint – the result speaks for itself – I now have a beautiful home that reflects my personality but is retains the elegance that is fitting for period property.”

Residential townhouse development to market

“Aisha has been an invaluable contributor to bringing our residential townhouse development to market. She helped stage and style the internals of 2 and 3 bedroom villas and also oversaw the selection and maintenance of plants and greenery in the villas and common area. The result was a quality end-product styled to suit our ideal purchaser. The styling was commented upon and admired by purchasers and helped generate sales. Aisha was regularly onsite and hands-on, ensuring the staging was perfect, including removing and re-establishing the staging between townhouses following sales. The project was impacted by COVID and Aisha worked hard to re-negotiate much needed extensions on supplier contracts. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aisha for her management and implementation of sales producing styling and design.”

A Victorian terraced house development in London

I collaborated with Aisha on the interior design and styling of a Victorian terraced house development in London. The project involved an extension, loft conversion and full refurb. As well as providing interior styling advice Aisha was involved in the architectural design and features I included in the initial house design.

Aisha provided an overall brief and direction for the project with a mood board for each room.  As the project developed there were changes along the way due to budgets etc. and Aisha was really helpful in dealing with my last-minute changes or any indecision I had.  

Given I developed the house at the start of covid when the market was unstable, it was even more critical that the house stood out in a crowded market. She suggested a more contemporary design, with accents that were mirrored throughout the house, keeping the palette neutral but with focal points in each room – which worked well for a property investment.  Overall, I was thrilled with the result and this was reflected in the sale – the house sold within three weeks and achieved 75k profit which was great in a market that was under significant pressure.”

WeShow Experience

“Aisha has an innate understanding of retail visual merchandising which was evident throughout her time in the WeShow space. The store looked exceptional on day one and as she started to understand the way her customers responded to the product, she would adjust and create new experiences, gently guiding the viewer with the use of sophisticated display techniques.

Aisha is always customer led and focused and this, combined with her passion for retail gives her a unique advantage when it comes to creating a visual experience. I absolutely loved working with Aisha and look forward to our next project together.”

Merchandising

“Aisha is an absolute dream to work with! Her communication, collaboration and design expertise makes the entire process run very smoothly from start to finish. I have worked with Aisha on a number of occasions.
Our brand was stocked at Australian Made Collections and I highly commend Aisha on her ability to understand our brand and merchandised our products to ensure all items were presented perfectly to the customers. The store was beautifully presented and the fit-out was thoughtfully designed for versatility and overall customer experience. 

Aisha also worked her magic on 2 pop-ups stores I ran in The Rocks, Sydney. Once a week we had Aisha to come in-store to assist with merchandising our 6-15 brands stocked in our stores. Her attention to detail and attention to our needs was seen throughout her styling and designs. I highly recommend Aisha and her services.”

Declutter, Source & Style

“Being a single mum, my 13yo and 9yo had ended up with an array of different pieces of furniture and toys, games, clothes plus bits and pieces from different ages and stages in their bedrooms. Aisha and Jana suggested a functional session that they would host directly with the girls for a few hours in the school holidays and it’s been a gamechanger. They cleared the clutter and the girls are more comfortable in and proud of their personal spaces. I’d highly recommend this process to any parent (or anyone really) challenged by clutter and disorganisation in the home! It’s such a good and clever process. Thank you! So glad we are doing this with you and Jana.”
