About Gary
As a passionate interior designer, my focus is on shaping homes that feel warm, liveable, and refined. My process is rooted in empathy and collaboration, and I aim to make every space not only beautiful but also tailored to the practical needs of everyday life.
I pride myself on listening closely to your ideas and transforming them into thoughtful designs that feel both considered and authentic. My design ethos centres around building a genuine connection and delivering results that feel right for you and your home.
Interior Decorating Services for the Gold Coast
Whether you're refreshing a single room or redesigning your entire home, our services cover everything from layout planning to the finishing touches. Here’s how we can support your interior transformation:
Furniture Curation & Layout Planning
Great interiors begin with smart space planning and carefully chosen furniture. I guide you through layout options that optimise space and flow, whether you’re working with open-plan living, compact city apartments, or spacious beachside homes.
Through exclusive trade relationships, I’m able to access an extended selection of furniture pieces, allowing for more customisation and style flexibility. I also manage the design of bespoke items like shelving units, cabinetry, and media consoles to ensure your space feels cohesive and functional.
For outdoor living, I help select durable and stylish furniture and planters to extend your home into alfresco settings, decks, and patios — a key part of Gold Coast living.
Textiles, Lighting & Decorative Elements
Textiles and soft details are where comfort meets style. I offer expert guidance on fabric selections for upholstery, drapes, cushions, and more — tailoring the textures and tones to suit your space.
Ambient and accent lighting also plays a vital role in setting the mood. We assist in sourcing and specifying floor lamps, pendants, and table lighting that complement your interior style. The finishing touches — from art curation to home accessories — are selected with intention, ensuring every detail contributes to the overall story of your home.
As an interior decorator, I believe that styling is about more than aesthetics — it’s about creating spaces that speak to who you are.
Custom Window Furnishings
We work with trusted local suppliers to create custom solutions tailored to your specifications. For tech-forward homes, motorised blinds and smart integration are also available, allowing for seamless control of light and privacy.
Outdoor window furnishings and awnings can also be arranged, helping your indoor and outdoor spaces flow together in a unified design.
Art, Rugs & Personal Touches
We assist with sourcing artwork that suits your personality — from local artists to commissioned pieces — and guide placement, framing, and installation to ensure each piece enhances your space.
These are the final elements that truly make your house feel like home — layered, styled, and uniquely yours.
Furnish Your Home
One of our most popular offerings is the Furnish Your Home package — ideal if you’re looking to style your home without paying full retail prices.
We’ll take care of furniture sourcing, purchasing on your behalf using trade-only discounts and preferred supplier rates. This approach not only opens access to a broader range of styles and quality but also allows you to save on the total furnishing cost. It’s a practical way to achieve an expertly curated home while keeping your budget in check.
How I Work
Designing your home should be a clear and enjoyable experience. Here's how we work:
Step 1: Initial Design Brief
We start with a one-on-one consultation at your home. During this visit, we discuss your ideas, lifestyle needs, and vision for the space. This session is $495 (inc GST) and includes a 2-hour onsite consultation plus travel.
Step 2: Design Scope & Proposal
For larger projects, you’ll receive a tailored Scope of Services and Fee Proposal. This outlines what’s included, what it will cost, and the timeframe required to complete the design.
Step 3: Concept Development
We return to your home to present concepts and review materials, floor plans, and product options. You’ll have the chance to explore the ideas and make any changes before proceeding.
Step 4: Implementation & Delivery
Once approved, we move into implementation. This can include ordering items, coordinating trades, arranging deliveries, and overseeing installation. For styling-focused projects, we assist with everything from interior furnishing to final artwork placement.
