MoreThe Frobisher Experience
-
With our children coming into the teenage years, we needed to modernise and reinvigorate our home for the future. The end result far exceeded our expectations. The entire house has been completely rejuvenated; new bathrooms and kitchen, new flooring, paint, curtains and furniture. The design choices were exceptional, with real attention to detail. Though the entire process we can’t speak highly enough of Ryan and Vashti’s expertise and professionalism. They went above and beyond and made the process very easy. We would have no hesitation in recommending Frobisher Interiors as not only were Ryan and Vashti superb but the staff supporting them were also excellent. It is without a doubt the best decision we could have made, and we are all delighted with our new home. - Shane, Tracey, Katie, Hayley & Ryan Bond
-
We have worked with Frobisher on a number of projects and enjoy a “creative-ideas partnership” that identifies working alternatives for our dumber suggestions and take our good ideas to places we hadn’t thought of. In the end, the outcome has always been inspirational. - Laurie & Barbara Rose
-
Our Frobisher designer, Lucy, is a great listener and really understood the look we were trying to achieve. She also provided great alternative suggestions that aligned with our budget. The master bedroom drapes were totally her suggestion and are probably my favourite things in the house! The quality of the workmanship on both the drapes and wooden shutters is excellent. The christmas present was a nice touch also. All in all, Frobisher was one of the best experiences of our building process. - Les Mounce & Jan Colley

A delicious thank-you to the Frobisher team. Working with Ann-Marie and the design team has been lots of fun. Sharing ideas and putting together a collection of textiles and treats, to create warm spaces that are at the heart of my home. - Jane Donnelly
-
From the moment Lucy visited us at home to the day we viewed our beautiful new curtains in our restored home, we found the experience nothing but excellent. Lucy quickly picked up on what we loved about our home and what style of curtain would best enhance those features. We both felt very comfortable with her respectful, courteous and professional manner. The visit to Frobisher Interiors showroom, we were again met with professionalism and forethought which made the visit to decide on fabric and colour enjoyable.With choices made, the days of installation we awaited with excitement! Since installation, the quality and beauty of the curtains are a constant source of pleasure. Thank you for providing us with a quality product, something we will enjoy for many years.

You have curtainly helped us to make this change in our lives so much easier and we truly appreciate all you have done. - Dawn & Blake Eskdale

Georgia was an amazing help in the various stages of our new build. Her impeccable style and professionalism are second to none. We are loving the finished product! - Jane Johnston
