“I am drawn to organic, beautiful products and I have a passion for quality furniture, unique rugs and designer lighting.”
Meet the designer.
I have a background in criminology, however, my path changed when my husband and I renovated our first house in 1998. The process completely enriched me and I gave up the law for a diploma in interior design and decoration.
I am drawn to organic, beautiful products and I have a passion for quality furniture, unique rugs and designer lighting. In my own home, I prefer green plants that I can nurture over cut flowers and admire an amazing Hermon & Hermon lamp bought years ago over candles. I appreciate natural timbers and artwork—Emma Hack is one of my favourite artists—however, I am most inspired when I’m on the road visiting regional Victoria.
I’m influenced by the clean lines of Scandinavian and Japanese design and I don’t embrace clutter. It’s more about statement pieces, big chairs, an exciting rug and handmade ceramics. My best tip? Less is more.
