What clients say

Trusting the process

"Ingrid was fantastic to work with on our recent home renovation. She listened to our needs over multiple meetings to create a fantastic transformation utilising our current footprint. Functional, practical and aesthetically pleasing. We are so grateful for her expertise — multiple friends have already asked for her details."

"We had VillaChic create an entrance cabinet for us about five years ago. From the start, we were impressed by how beautifully it fit — it looks like it was always meant to be there. Five years on, the quality speaks for itself. A rare mix of design, craftsmanship, and durability."

About Ingrid

European sensibility.
Adelaide roots.

I'm Ingrid Soetermans, the designer and director behind VillaChic. With a European background and over five years working with Adelaide homeowners, I bring a perspective that is both international and deeply personal.

My approach always begins with layout. A beautifully styled room built on a flawed plan will never feel quite right — but a thoughtfully planned space, even simply finished, will always feel like home. I work closely with each client, listening carefully, asking the right questions, and designing spaces that reflect who you actually are — not a trend.

I work with a trusted network of Adelaide trades and builders, including a close partnership with Hire a Hubby Springfield, to bring designs from concept to completion seamlessly.

Layout-first thinking

Every project starts by optimising your space — traffic flow, natural light, and spatial relationships — before anything else is decided.

European perspective

A design sensibility shaped by both European sophistication and the relaxed warmth of South Australian living.

Timeless over trendy

I design for the long term. Spaces that feel right today and are still beautiful in ten years.

Full-service studio

From first sketch to final styling — I can take your project as far as you need, or hand off at any stage.
