Darryl Parrant
Scott was the lead designer from Burnell Designs and he was fantastic. He was very professional, responsive and detailed in style matching, presentations, selection of furniture items and placement. Scott guided me to push beyond my comfort zone with colour, look and feel. I was impressed with his smart use of space and texture in all aspects of the interior design process. I loved everything he selected and placed and now have an entire home that is beautiful, functional and elegant. I have absolute confidence you will get value and results that will give you pride and joy. More...

It was a pleasure working with Burnell Designs. Our suggestions were taken into account and a number of different colour combinations suggested to us. The end result, according to visitors and friends, is WOW! More...
What’s your interior design process?
First, we get to know you, your space and what you want in a complementary Initial Consult. Then we put together some options that show different directions you could go with your layout and look, including some early recommendations. Then it's just about refining based on your feedback. We leave you with specific plans, furnishings, materials and finishes, with detailed plans for a builder, cabinet maker or carpenter if necessary. Check out our website for more.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Our style is Modern Eclectic, however we cater to the individual, not a specific style. We do enjoy more eclectic designs that offer a range of pieces within one 'look.' We find people are multi-faceted, so we relish in the challenge of achieving harmony and balance in a home that will be personal for the client and make a memorable impression on guests.
What do you love most about your job?
Recommending pieces and materials that client's weren't aware of or wouldn't have initially considered. But most of all, helping people really love where they live or work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I like bringing a fresh take on interior design by being pragmatic, and helping others create a place they love instead of selling a look they saw somewhere else.
Why should our clients choose you?
I've got a keen eye and a natural talent to both understanding what people want and creating designs that complement desired functions and aesthetics. It's not about me. It's about you.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I'm happy to provide services online / remotely for small, décor only projects. So for instance, decking out one or two rooms with furniture, accessories, flooring, wall and window treatments? All good. But when it comes to kitchens, bathrooms, designing an entire home, or doing any custom joinery, I need to work with you and your space in-person.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am fully vaccinated with the Pfizer Comirnaty mRNA vaccine. I wear a mask when clients request it and wash my hands frequently. If I or a client are experiencing symptoms or uncomfortable meeting in person, I'm happy to perform meetings remotely. If missing an in-person consultation is going to hurt the quality of my work however, then I'll recommend delaying the project until we can resume with in-person meetings.
