I offer 20 years of interior and exterior design experience and have worked extensively with clients in Australia and New Zealand. I believe that this valuable experience, the ability to master all design styles and my vast practical knowledge, are what sets me apart from others in the industry. Over these years, I have sourced an exclusive and diverse portfolio of artists, craftspeople, artisans, furnishing and furniture suppliers, builders and trades, with whom I have built strategic and trusting relationships. These collaborations are of such great value to my clients and their projects and allow me to deliver very special and unique results. I am able to consult, either in house, on site or online. I often project manage, if required, in all areas of interior design from one room to a complete new build or renovation. I believe my success is from my genuine, honest and caring approach with my clients, my impeccable planning and communication, keeping one step ahead of design trends, and most importantly my ability to know what is just right for my clients. Many of my past clients are very happy to offer personal references to any prospective clients (and this can be arranged at initial enquiry stage). I know how daunting it can be to take on a designer for the first time! I look forward to the possible opportunity to work with you and look forward to your enquiry.

Laidback Lee Design is a Sydney-based interior design studio founded by Stephanie Ferrara. We work on high-end residential and boutique commercial projects across Australia and internationally and we pour everything into making each one feel completely, unmistakably its own. Our style is layered and considered: rich in texture, pattern and personality, but never overwrought. We believe a great interior should feel like it belongs to the people who live in it, not like it arrived fully formed from a mood board. That means every decision, from the wallpaper to the door hardware, is made with intention. The process is collaborative from the start. We take the time to really understand how our clients want to feel in their home, not just what they want it to look like, and that understanding shapes everything that follows. From concept to final install, we're across every detail, because the details are where the magic is. Beautiful and liveable. Always both.

How Hiring an Interior Designer Works in Australia

Areas Where Australian Interior Designers Can Help

Interior designers work across residential and boutique commercial projects to create cohesive environments. Specialists in Australia generally focus on these key pillars:

  • Concept and Mood Boards: Developing visual directions and material palettes that capture the unique light and atmosphere of Australian homes.
  • Spatial Planning: Optimising layouts to improve the flow and functionality of your rooms, ensuring every square metre is used effectively.
  • Custom Cabinetry and Joinery: Designing bespoke storage solutions, kitchens, and bathrooms that reflect your individual needs.
  • Sourcing and Styling: Selecting furniture, lighting, and window treatments from local and international suppliers to complete your look.

What to Expect from a Design Engagement

Every project is unique, but most professional Australian interior design engagements follow a structured path:

  • Initial Consultation: Identification of your aesthetic preferences, budget requirements, and how you use your space.
  • Design Development: Creation of detailed floor plans, 3D renders, and material selections for your approval.
  • Project Management: Coordination with trades and suppliers to ensure the design is implemented correctly and to a high standard. The goal is always to provide Australian property owners with a space that reflects their personality and improves their everyday living.
