On the blog- How to choose the right fabrics for your home

When upholstering furniture or choosing window treatments, there's more to consider than how it looks.

Durability is a big thing. The last thing you want is to spend thousands on a new couch, only for it to fade in a couple of years.

In my latest blog post, I've spoken about what to look for when selecting fabrics for your home

Laundry selections for project Invermay 🌳

There were two ways we could have gone with this projects colour palette. Either warm or cool.

Funnily enough, some of the chosen options were on the warmer side and others, on the cooler side. Yet they all work beautifully together.

There's a few renovation projects happening this year and I'm genuinely so excited to be a part of each and every one ☺️

If you're looking to renovate or simply need some fresh decor, I'm taking bookings for April and May. Send me a DM or email [email protected]

Want to instantly upscale your space?

Add statement artwork 🖼

I'm often asked what kind of artwork would work, how big and how many. The key is ensuring the artwork doesn't look lost on the wall.

This Air bnb project was a very fast turnaround. We could have used one very large artwork, however, I needed to factor in the lead time (we needed something off the shelf), thanks for your amazing range.

The other factor was transportation. An oversized artwork would have had to be delivered by a third party, resulting in a less flexible timeline and higher fees.

Interior decorating isn't just about making homes look pretty. There is a lot of planning involved and I take pride in designing each clients home thoughtfully.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk 😆

When it comes to building and renovating, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all of the
decision making.

Here's some things to consider before going to the showrooms 👇

• What's the hero piece in the room? Are you going to have a statement wall tile? If so, make sure the floor tile doesn't compete

• Is the location of the home in a humid area? If so, less grout is better. That means go larger with your tile choices and use non porous materials

There are thousands of ways to design your bathroom. The key is to have a plan before stepping foot in a showroom. You don't need everything figured out, but it certainly helps to have some ideas brewing beforehand.

If you're stuck on the design of your home, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a DM or email [email protected] and we can organise an obligation free call 🏡

Very excited for this E-Design project in Port Douglas 🌊

It's possible to work together interstate. Particularly if the selections we choose are on display in both locations.

In terms of hard materials like tiles and benchtops, I always encourage you to look at a sample or two in person.

The computer screen just doesn't do it justice and when you're spending money on fixed objects like a kitchen bench, you want to ensure you like it prior to saying yes.

If you're interstate or even based in Vic but hours away from Ballarat, feel free to reach out about working together virtually.

And incase you didn't know, I do travel to Melbourne 😉 just not as frequently these days with family commitments

When choosing fabrics, whether it be a new couch or reupholstering an armchair, you need to check the fabric durability level (martindale).

The higher the martindale, the longer the fabric will last before pilling and wearing.

For my client projects, if a furniture piece is going to be used regularly by the whole family, I look into commercial grade materials. Although most residential fabrics last a while, commercial grade is built for longevity and higher usage.

Next time you're selecting fabric for your home, take a look at the materials composition, including durability, not just the colour and pattern. This will help you make an informed decision ✅️

Hard materials, AKA, the selections that are harder to change once completed.

When choosing paint, tiles, benchtops and cabinetry, it's important to look at the undertones in each colour. These can either throw a yellow (warm) tone or blue (cool) tone.

It's not always easy to see in one sample alone.

Once you start putting selections together, you'll notice how colours can change and how some undertones become prominent, changing the overall look.

If you need some guidance on selecting the right colours for your home, I have a free guide for you.

If you're like me, the days fly by between kids, work and life commitments (plus the never ending housework 🫣).

I was these beautiful, Australian made candles from

These double wick wax candles are toxin free. This means you can relax next to one of their burning candles and not inhale artificial chemicals that give you a headache.

I've been using 'Silken Whisper' and 'Tuscan Hike'. Both gorgeous scents in their own ways. I highly recommend checking (pronounced 'bon dee') and treating yourself to one of their candles to elevate your 'me time' 😉

Two simple changes you can make to your entryway right now 👇

1. Have a high quality scented candle greet you when you open the door. Not burning, just the lid off, alowing the aroma to welcome you home

2. Have a place for your shoes. Even a simple shoe rack keeps shoes off the floor and prevents a tripping hazard. It's less clutter for your eyes to deal with

It's often the smallest of changes that make a big difference ✨️

Project Buninyong is well underway and getting very exciting!

A new kitchen, adjoining dining space, new laundry... the list goes on!

Given there is a lot to work through, I've created a colour palette to flow throughout the home.

The key is to use similar colours and materials without looking too 'matchy-matchy'.

For example, we're incorporating shaker style cabinetry in both the kitchen and laundry. However, the door profiles are slightly similar. We're also using porcelain tiled splashbacks but with different patterns in each room.

Stay tuned for more BTS of this exciting property 🌳

I'm currently booking for March 2026. If you're interested in working together, please send me a DM or email [email protected]
