    ✨Terrazzo is having a moment — and we’re 100 ✨Terrazzo is having a moment — and we’re 100% here for it.

Why we love 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀:
✔️ Incredibly durable and water-resistant
✔️ Conceals water spots and grime (so forgiving!)
✔️ Available in endless colour combinations and chip styles
✔️ Brings visual texture without overwhelming a small space

Sometimes, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗼 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 — tile thickness, cost, or structural limitations can get in the way. That’s where 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗼-𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 tiles come in. They offer the same beautiful, speckled aesthetic — with greater flexibility, thinner profiles, and shorter lead

From vanities to splashbacks, terrazzo (or terrazzo-look!) adds a playful sophistication to modern homes — and works beautifully with warm timbers and brushed finishes.

Can you tell in the above pictures what’s real terrazzo vs. terrazzo-look?

    Your entryway sets the tone for your entire home — it's your home's first impression, and it should speak your style fluently.

Here are 3 ways to elevate your entryway like a designer:

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 🪞
Creates a sense of space and bounces light beautifully.

𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 💡
Add a wall sconce or table lamp for instant warmth and welcome.

𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 🌸
Think trays, books, a small vase of seasonal flowers or a sculptural object – styling that looks effortless (but is secretly well planned).

✨Pro Tip: Add a beautiful runner or rug to ground the space and invite you in.

🖤 At INSIDESIGN, we style every entry to feel like an embrace.
Could your entryway could use a little love?

    AUGUST FAVS by Mel 🦋🛒 - Inspired by my Mo AUGUST FAVS by Mel 🦋🛒

- Inspired by my Morocco trip, I cannot get enough of @‌beni_rugs. Handmade, 100% wool, unique designs and stunning colourways.
- I’ve been struggling to find a design worthy dog bed for my cavoodle. @‌haydesign have recently released these fun dog beds in multiple colours and sizes. *Immediately adds to cart. 🛒
- I could get lost for hours browsing the pretty shelves of the @‌thedeastore. How dreamy are these vases!
- My current food obsession are anchovies, maybe I’m just craving a European escape?
@‌weavehomeau have released their latest cushion collection, and these colours and textures of their Sienne throw cushion tick all the boxes for my August mood.

    Here it is again, our award winning 🏆 bathroom! Here it is again, our award winning 🏆 bathroom!

I’m super happy and proud of winning the Small Bathrooms (NSW) category at KBDI Designer Awards 2025 this weekend!

It especially warms my heart that the judges liked this bathroom, as it’s my favourite ever also. 😍 The project was lovely to work in, clients were fantastic, build team professional (check out @rjmcalistertiling tiling here!) and we had such good support from our suppliers (@justbathroomware @livingtiles @divinekitchens ).

We’re starting the next phase in the same house very soon, can’t wait!

    ASK ME ANYTHING 💡 ”How long does an interior ASK ME ANYTHING 💡
”How long does an interior design project take?”

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:
🔸Concept design 4 weeks
🔸Detailed design and documentation 4 weeks
🔸Bathroom renovation 6+ weeks
🔸Kitchen joinery manufacturing 6-8 weeks and additional 1-2 weeks for stone benchtops.

It’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 — what’s the differ Interior Design vs Styling — what’s the difference? 🌷

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

Interior design shapes the bones of your space — 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 — 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 — 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.

We’ll help you do both.

    🎨 How do you define a pleasing colour scheme in 🎨 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: 
👀 Use a focal point to pick the accent colours from - this could be a rug, artwork or piece of furniture. 
🌈Use 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.
