Work with us.

Our Signature Services & Expertise.

We love older homes, the ugly ducklings, the unusual spaces that are lacking thought, function or know-how. The homes that deserve love and attention and to have their old bones and character respected, whilst we thoughtfully weave new ideas, blending the old with the new. Our ability to masterfully visualise and envision the big-picture is our super power. Often upon walking into a space, ideas are buzzing and we cant help but share our enthusiasm. Our expertise lies in custom cabinetry design such as Kitchen, Bathroom and bespoke joinery as well as carefully curating warm, inviting and layered material, finish and furniture concepts that just feel-good. Working thoughtfully with colour and materiality, we lean in on designing calming, layered and effortless interiors that speak to the architecture of the home, whilst reflecting our client's unique personality and preferences. Our goal is to create balanced and harmonious spaces that are for living... and enjoying that function well and stand the test of time. We appreciate quality over quantity and enjoy close collaborations with local makers, supporting Australian made and specifying original design, curating vintage and blending this with the contemporary.

Initial Design Consult

Every project begins with the Initial Design Consultation meeting so we can get to know eachother and understand more about your project and what you’re hoping to achieve. These can be done in-person or via zoom if interstate.

We chat about your project for up to 60 minutes, walk through your home, take photos and notes and after the meeting you will receive a custom proposal outlining a summary of the interior design services required and how we can work together.

We do ask you to  prepare for our meeting by collecting images from magazines, share your Pinterest board or images you have saved online. This will help lay the foundations so we can begin to get an understanding of your style preferences and what you envision for the project.

Consults are currently $395 inc GST paid in advance to book in.

In-person Meetings outside of 10km Melbourne CBD radius will attract a travel fee.

Interior Design

You have hired an Architect or building designer for the structural framework and permits, but you are after an Interior Designer to complete every detail of the interior design, ensuring a collected and cohesive, high-quality outcome for your home.

We design carefully considered functional interiors that enhance our client’s lives, whilst focusing on the *feel* of the home. From full home interior renovations to minor refurbishments our approach is custom according to the requirements of a project.

We enjoy working on heritage and older homes seamlessly blending the old with the new.

Custom Interior Design service is suited to you if:

  • You have engaged an Architect/Building Designer/Drafter for the plans, strcutural works and permitting but need an Interior Designer to take care of the interior details for an elevated, custom designed outcome.
  • You have ideas but are lacking the expertise/time/dedication to produce drawing and specification packages to hand the builder for quoting.
  • You are seeking a completely custom design for your home and its requirements. No one-size-fits-all approach here!
  • You want to feel confident and importantly excited about the design and be ready for the project with designs in hand!
  • You understand the level of details and decisions need to be made and want to entrust a professional.

 

Our end-to-end service includes the concept design, drawings & documentation to specification for the renovation, as well as working alongside the Build team during implementation & works.

New Builds + Renovations

Working with your Architect or Builder plans we create a solid concept, designing all the built-in joinery associated whilst selecting and sourcing the finishes and materials for your project.

This is also ideal if you want to elevate the proposed builder plans and opt for a more customised Bathroom, Kitchen or full home design. Often you are provided with builder plans only, but how will each wall look? What has been designed and specified? Let us take care of that for you.

Custom Joinery service is suited to you if:

  • You have your Architectural plans but need help with a Concept, cabinetry design for all the  built-in joinery as well as specifying all the finishes and materials.
  • You have an understanding of what you want to achieve, but you need the drawings and specification documents ready to hand over to your builder or cabinet maker.
  • You are looking to elevate your build plans and need custom design for your Kitchen/ Bathroom or entire home. You understand devil is in the detail and appreciate custom design rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • You dont have any build plans as you are wanting cabinetry designs for a few spaces. You need drawings and specifications to hand to a cabinetmaker.
  • You’re feeling overwhelmed by all the decisions you need to make.
  • You want a cohesive aesthetic and a knowledgeable Designer to ask questions about the best materials and finishes.

What our clients say

Jess worked with us from the very start in helping us renovate our Edwardian home. From the concrete style bench tops to the gorgeous pops of wallpaper to sourcing bespoke petrol green couches that were made in Melbourne, everything was beyond our dreams and very much in keeping with our style and our hopes for the home. It would be a very long review if I were to do justice to Jess’s skills and how she helped us create our dream home and breathe magic into the walls of this grand old house.
