FAQ’S
What's the difference between an interior stylist and an interior designer?
Interior designers generally focus on spatial planning, joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and technical details.
Interior stylists focus on furniture, furnishings and finishing touches. My services overlap both, offering styling and creative direction without the architectural side.
What’s the process?
It's a simple, guided process
1- Consultation & proposal — Getting to know your space and what you need.
2- Concepts & selections — Moodboards and a clear direction for each space.
3- Review & refine — Your feedback and final approvals.
4- Sourcing & purchasing — I take care of finding and ordering the pieces.
5- Delivery & installation — Typically i receive & quality check all orders & deliver once everything has arrived.
6- Final styling — The finishing touches that make it feel complete.

What does full-service furnishing and styling include?
From concept to finishing touches. I manage selections, sourcing, purchasing, deliveries, furniture assembly and final styling. You get a beautifully finished space without managing all the moving parts.
Can you work with my existing furniture?
Absolutely. You don't need to start from scratch. I'll work with the pieces you already love and recommend additions to bring everything together.
How much does interior styling cost?
My in-home consultation is $750 + GST. Full-service projects are quoted individually, with furniture and furnishings purchased separately.
What's included in a consultation?
Up to two hours on-site, personalised advice and a tailored written summary. Where helpful, I'll also include a simple visual guide.
Do I need to know my furnishing budget?
A rough figure is helpful but not essential. I'll guide you on where to invest, where to save and how to make the most of it.
How involved do I need to be?
That's entirely up to you. I can take care of the lot, from sourcing and purchasing to deliveries and final styling. You enjoy the fun parts — exploring concepts and approving your favourites — while I handle everything else.
What if I don't like your selections?
No problem. You'll review the concepts and selections, with opportunities to refine everything before purchasing.
How long does a project take?
Most full-service projects take around 8–12 weeks, depending on the scope and furniture lead times. Allow a little longer for custom-made pieces.
Can you furnish an entire holiday property?
Absolutely. From an empty property to guest-ready, including furniture, artwork, linen, kitchenware, whitegoods and finishing touches, depending on your brief.
Can you manage my project if I live interstate?
Yes! I can manage the entire project remotely, including selections, purchasing, deliveries and on-site installation. You don't need to be there to make it all happen.
Where do you work?
I'm based in Geelong, servicing Melbourne, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast, with remote projects available Australia-wide.
Do you offer online consultations?
Yes! Remote consultations and creative direction are available for suitable projects.
Do you travel for projects?
Absolutely. Any travel requirements and associated costs will be discussed upfront.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier, the better! Especially if you're working towards a move-in date or holiday-property launch.
Can we start before I've moved in?
Please do! Getting started before settlement or handover gives us more time to plan, make selections and account for furniture lead times.
How do I get started?
Simply fill out my enquiry form with a few details about your property, location, timeframe and approximate investment. I'll take it from there.
