โ€How long does an interior design project take?โ€

Timelines vary based on project size and complexity. A simple room refresh might take a few weeks, while extensive renovations can span several months.

For simple estimation you can assume these timeline:
๐Ÿ”ธConcept design 4 weeks
๐Ÿ”ธDetailed design and documentation 4 weeks
๐Ÿ”ธBathroom renovation 6+ weeks
๐Ÿ”ธKitchen joinery manufacturing 6-8 weeks and additional 1-2 weeks for stone benchtops.

Itโ€™s better to plan early - anything you would like to do pre-Christmas should start now! You can book the initial consultation through bio.

    Interior Design vs Styling โ€” whatโ€™s the differ Interior Design vs Styling โ€” whatโ€™s the difference? ๐ŸŒท

Interior design and styling work hand in hand, but they do different things.

Interior design shapes the bones of your space โ€” planning the layout, designing joinery, selecting materials, fixtures and finishes, managing trades, and ensuring every detail works beautifully and practically.

Styling brings the finished space to life โ€” sourcing furniture, artwork, rugs, cushions and decor that reflect your taste, adds warmth and makes your home feel lived-in and layered.

At INSIDESIGN, we offer both โ€” from complete renovations to final styling touches. Our tailored solutions mean you can engage us for design, styling, or the full transformation, depending on what your space needs.

Weโ€™ll help you do both.

    ๐ŸŽจ How do you define a pleasing colour scheme in ๐ŸŽจ How do you define a pleasing colour scheme in a room?

At INSIDESIGN, crafting cohesive and beautiful colour palettes in part of our everyday process. There are two main methods we use to get started: 
๐Ÿ‘€ Use a focal point to pick the accent colours from - this could be a rug, artwork or piece of furniture. 
๐ŸŒˆUse a colour wheel - we apply complementary, accent or tonal combinations to create balance and flow. 

They are not exclusive and we often use both methods to ensure your space feels considered, layered and uniquely yours.

    โœจ Design with intention โœจ In this bathroom, โœจ Design with intention โœจ

In this bathroom, the existing basin and vanity cabinet still had so much to give. Instead of replacing them, we elevated what was already there โ€” a custom benchtop, a fresh coat of paint, and considered detailing brought these elements into harmony with the new joinery. The result? A space that feels renewed, elegant, and timeless โ€” without unnecessary waste.

At INSIDESIGN, true luxury is thoughtful. We believe in keeping what works, respecting materials, and designing spaces that honour both our clientsโ€™ investment and the environment.

Refresh. Refine. Reimagine. Thatโ€™s sustainable sophistication.

Itโ€™s always a juggle โ€” but the kind we love.

โ˜•๏ธ Morning started with a coffee, then dived into some creative CAD work to bring a clientโ€™s vision to life in 3D.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Midday site visit to check in on an in-flight project โ€” joinery is going in and itโ€™s all coming to life! We reviewed custom cabinetry details, resolved a few on-site queries, and kept everything moving smoothly.

๐Ÿงฑ Afternoon showroom visit with another client to explore tile samples โ€” textures, tones and finishes were discussed over coffee, and some favourites were shortlisted for their upcoming bathroom refresh.

Every day looks a little different, but itโ€™s this mix of creative collaboration, problem-solving and meaningful design that keeps us inspired.

    Winter has arrived, and itโ€™s chilly! โ„๏ธ W Winter has arrived, and itโ€™s chilly! โ„๏ธ

We have a couple of easy tips and tricks when styling and designing to keep your house toasty and comfortable while the outdoor cools down.

๐—ฃ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ด๐˜€ - Rugs help to insulate hard floors, keeping warmth in and chills at bay. Layering rugs in key areas like the living room or bedroom instantly adds softness and comfort underfoot.

๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ณ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ - Think wool throws, velvet cushions, and boucle upholstery โ€” to create a cocooning, cozy atmosphere. A mix of warm hues and tactile fabrics invites you to relax and unwind through the cooler months.

๐——๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜‡๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐˜€ - when designing your home think of investing in double glazed windows for year-round comfort. They help trap warmth inside during winter while reducing noise and improving energy efficiency.

๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐˜†-๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ - Layered curtains, blockout blinds or shutters do more than frame your windows beautifully โ€” they prevent heat from escaping and help maintain a consistent indoor temperature. A simple design choice with big impact on comfort and power bills.

๐——๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ - When itโ€™s cold outdoor there is less motivation to go out, so why not create a dedicated winter drinks corner โ€” perfect for warming up with a glass of scotch or mulled wine. Styled with beautiful ceramics and glassware, itโ€™s both practical and a charming feature in your home.

Whatโ€™s your Winter must-have in your home?
