Design services
If you scroll through Instagram, swooning at other people’s home interiors and think “my home doesn’t look anything like that” its usually for one of two reasons:
- You’re overwhelmed and just don’t know where to start.
- You’ve made a decent start but things just aren’t coming together like you want them to.
If this sounds familiar, you will benefit from a home consultation with me. Within the set two hour time frame I can impart a huge amount of professional knowledge, built up over years in the design industry. I also follow up with an A4 written report, emailed in the following days.
Every client’s needs are different but I am happy to help with:
- Floor plans and furniture layout
- Passive solar control, light and orientation
- Interior and exterior hard finishes
- Overarching mood or design style
- Where to spend and save your money
- Lighting plans
- Kitchen, bathroom, laundry and joinery design
- Retaining existing pieces of furniture and décor
- Paint colours and wallpaper
- Sourcing unique pieces- new and old
- Rugs and soft furnishings
- Window furnishings
Colour services
Colour is a huge part of what I do. I firmly believe in its power to affect our mood and I love helping clients find the colours they want to live with.
I rarely specify stark white or pure black and veer away from anything overly saturated. Soft muted colours or deeper, richer (but still muted) tones are easier to live with. Choosing whites can be very challenging too but the right white is crucial, as is specifying the right finish.
What you get:
- A home/site visit of up to 1 hour
- Complementary large format samples
- A follow up written report for your painter

“Stephanie came in and I instantly felt less anxious about our renovation. She distilled our ideas into something we could confidently work with. Our scheme now makes sense. The kitchen finishes are timeless but she chose a stronger paint colour for one room. She challenged us but, on reflection, it will make the house really sing. We will be seeking Steph’s help with curtains and an upholstered bench seat when the build is finished.”
