decorating is like storytelling, but for your home
interior design & decoration
We are a boutique Sydney based interior design studio focusing on creating elevated yet attainable spaces for our clients to enjoy.
We offer both interior decorating and interior design services. Don’t know the difference? Simple! Decorating is the fun stuff – think furniture, soft furnishings, art, rugs, decor and accessories. Design is the hard fixtures like tiles, taps, flooring, paint and elements required to build a room.
We love to generate ideas with our clients; brainstorming and dreaming until we create a unique vision which can belong only in their home. We work closely with our clients in a casual and relaxed manner to really draw out what your desires are for your space.
We are passionate about working closely with charities and organisations to help give back to those in need. Recently re-decorating Lou’s Place, a women’s shelter in Sydney and the Child Protection Unit at the Children’s Hospital in Randwick. Our Director, Emma is also a long standing brand ambassador for The Royal Flying Doctors.
Unique spaces, residential & commercial
No two projects are the same for us. We work with you from the initial consultation to determine your end goal with your design project and use this as our guide throughout the process.
Whether we are working on a blank canvas or we’re working with existing pieces, our focus is to ensure your home, retail store or hospitality fit out is unique to you and your needs. Collaboration is key with our projects, we draw out as much detail as possible from our clients in order to ensure we are creating a space you will love. We ask that as many household members as possible can be there for the first meeting so we can be sure to really understand everyone’s key needs and wants before we get started. Good design starts with communication and ends with a beautiful space for you to enjoy.

HOME follows the five elements through each room of the house showing you how to decorate on a budget without getting completely overwhelmed by the process.
KEEPING HOUSE demystifies the styling process. It walks you through how to style your bed in under 30 seconds, how to create a cheeseboard, tips to hang artwork, what you should spend on vs what you should save on, decorating the table for dinner parties and a couple of fun recipes and cocktails for good measure.
