Interior design
& design advice.

Property styling prepares a home to sell — it is temporary, buyer-focused and built around a sales campaign. Interior design is for the way you actually live: permanent finishes, furniture, layout and materials chosen for your taste and how you use the space. Interior Architect-led, we do both, and many clients move from one to the other when they buy their next home.

Interior design fees in Sydney typically sit in three bands. A focused design consultation — a few hours of advice on colour, layout or finishes — usually ranges from a few hundred to around $1,500. A single-room scheme, fully documented, generally runs from $3,000 to $8,000 depending on scope. Full-home or renovation design managed end to end is usually structured as a project fee or a percentage of construction cost (commonly 10–15%), and is quoted after an initial consultation. Furniture and trades are separate. We provide a transparent written quote after we've seen the space and understood the brief.

A design consultation is a single visit with notes back within a week. A single-room scheme typically takes 4–8 weeks from brief to documented design. A full renovation or whole-home project usually runs 3–6 months for design and documentation, then a further 3–9 months on site depending on scope, trades and council requirements. We give you an indicative timeline at the consultation and a firm program once the brief is locked.

Both options are available. For most full-design projects we manage procurement end to end — sourcing, ordering, tracking and delivery coordination — so you receive a finished, installed result. For clients who prefer to buy the pieces themselves, we provide a fully documented schedule with specifications and suppliers so you can purchase directly. Trade discounts secured during procurement are passed through to you.

Earlier is almost always better. For a renovation, bringing us in before you engage a builder lets us shape the floor plan, finishes and joinery into a single coherent scheme — and avoids expensive variations later. For a new build, ideally we're involved before the architectural plans are locked, so we can influence room proportions, window placement and storage. For a purchased home you're moving into, the best time to start is during the cooling-off period so the design runs in parallel with settlement.

We work across Sydney's North Shore, Northern Beaches and Hills District from our studio in Pymble. Most projects sit within about 30 minutes of the studio.
