This late 90s built townhouse in Melbourne's eastern pocket of Bentleigh was in need of an interior refresh to improve functionality, as well as the overall look and feel. We combined cleverly designed custom-built joinery, soft furnishings and decor to create a calm and effortless space our clients love coming home too.
We were engaged to work on the front room, main bedroom, and material specification for flooring, paint and upholstery as well as custom joinery design.
A wall of custom-designed, locally made joinery creates a beautifully functional first impression for the home, with clever sliding rattan panels to hide away the television when not in use. The open shelving allows for personal touches and mementos from our client’s travels and a row of hidden lower drawers provides endless storage possibilities.
The main bedroom was completely transformed with a new floor plan, wool carpet laid, sage green paint, and a custom ledge, upholstered bedhead, and new wardrobe designed especially to suit the space. A relatively tricky floor plan due to the windows and two internal doors, we have been able to make the room feel larger and more organized by removing the floating internal wall that hid the messy walk-in robe.
“Our house was in desperate need of a refresh and having never worked with an interior designer, we were nervous about the process and the outcome. However, finding Jess and her team to guide us through the process, offer us new ideas, and connect us to amazing trades people has been fantastic and delivered us a cohesive, fresh, contemporary home that meets our now adult family needs.
Jess is professional and considered in her approach and guidance. She listened to our ideas and needs and connected our existing furniture and special pieces into the design. We feel as though we have a whole new house. Our whole family highly recommends Jess!”
