About Us

We believe that every project should be as unique as each clients. It's important to understand what the expectations for each space are, and generate ideas that excite the people who use the space. Our role is manipulate the space with colour, materials and light to create rooms that humans enjoy spending time in. We consider how much room is needed for humans to move / use the space to give it good spatial flow. We create a vision for how you live now and in the coming future. We consider your budget and guide you what items would be wise to save on, and where to splurge. The core of creating a great working relationship is to have healthy collaboration between the client (you), your builder and us.

Marlene was great to work with. Despite my procrastination and constant indecision, Marlene stuck with the programme with a never ending array of choices, straight opinions and advice producing a fantastic outcome. Very pleased with the final result.

We engaged Marlene for the exterior and interior design of a large renovation. Marlene understood what we were wanting in terms of style, and had great ideas to compliment and extend upon our existing ideas. Marlene has an excellent way with colours and textures and put together a scheme for the house that looks striking and suits the house and our style. Marlene was great to deal with, helpful and cheerful, she was always available, working around our difficulties in availability and being there when needed often at short notice. I would highly recommend Marlene, I loved working with her.

We have engaged Marlene on three occasions now - firstly, for our home that we were extenstively renovating, then an office fitout and now another existing home that will be renovated over time. Marlene asked the right questions at our initial meeting to figure out who we were and what we would like. She has been spot on with her recommendations and has always been happy to go back to find other options if we felt something wasn't quite right (although it usually was the first time!). We loved the first home Marlene did for us and are often complimented on the features in the office. I can't wait to get the current home done! On this last occasion I asked her to design the layout for the kitchen and bathrooms and her ideas have been amazing.

We engaged Marlene to create a sophisticated and timeless master suite. Given the age of our property (circa 1900) we were desperately lacking in storage. Marlene delivered on all accounts and the outcome was a beautifully and cleverly designed bedroom and stunning ensuite. Marlene ran the project and coordinated all the various professionals involved. She also provided me options on product selection without confusing me. Her knowledge of products is outstanding, and her eye for detail is impeccable. The end result was very happy and stress free clients.

Over the last 5 years we have asked Marlene to manage several projects; a bathroom ,kitchen and lounge update. Marlene is professional and fun to work with. She has excellent communication skills which are so important when making detailed decisions. She is extremely patient when hunting for and supplying samples for paint, tiles, curtaining, lighting etc. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

We have worked with Marlene on a number of projects to date including kitchens, bathrooms and home renovations. Marlene's approach is organised and with the clients interests at heart as well with the inclusion of 3D drawings both clients and trades benefit with clear and concise plans creating a desired finish to admire. Marlene's involvement in projects helps create that little bit extra without the worry of having your project miss the mark.

Marlene made redecorating stress free and manageable. She seemed to understand the look we wanted and how to achieve it. She continues to send us useful links to things that fit our home. I would highly recommend her. It is not as expensive as you think!

Commented: Is the kitchen backsplash feature wall tile inlay or painted?Hi this splashback is glass with a printed image on the back - hence the crisp lines / circles

Commented: love the pendant lightingHi Darlene, yes these lights are great. Unfortunately I am no longer able to get them as my supplier no longer stocks them. regards Marlene

Commented: Is a curbless shower a good idea?Yes, with a frameless shower door it will open both inwards and outwards. Depending on the overall size of the shower and where the water source is located it may be possible to open the door inwards...
