We are a Melbourne-based interior design studio specialising in renovation consulting and strategic design support for homeowners, owner-builders, and property investors—including property flippers and those renovating for rental or long-term investment. Renovating or updating your home can quickly become overwhelming, with countless decisions, moving parts, and costly mistakes if not managed well. Our role is to bring clarity, structure, and confidence to your project—bridging the gap between design vision and practical execution. Whether you are undertaking a full renovation or a cosmetic upgrade without structural changes, we help you create a cohesive, elevated result. This may include modernising kitchens and bathrooms, refining layouts, selecting finishes and materials, and working with your existing furniture to achieve a more premium and considered outcome. We provide expert guidance across layout planning, finishes and fixtures selection, lighting, storage solutions, and overall design direction—ensuring your space is not only visually appealing, but functional, cohesive, and aligned with your budget and goals. Where needed, we also support the delivery of your project through trade sourcing, liaison and coordination, as well as ongoing design oversight to help maintain quality, timelines, and budget control throughout the process. What sets us apart is our ability to think beyond aesthetics. We understand the different drivers behind each project—whether it is creating a home to live in, maximising resale value, or achieving strong rental returns—and tailor our advice accordingly.

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.

Tamara was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us design our 1920s home and did such a great job bringing both my mom’s and my ideas together — which wasn’t easy, since we’re from completely different generations (40 yrs age gap). She really took the time to listen to both of us and made sure we felt heard throughout the whole process. Tamara was also super thoughtful with communication. She explained everything clearly and patiently, so we know what to expect from each stage. On top of that, she’s incredibly hardworking — always quick to reply to emails or messages, even outside of hours. One of the best surprises was the industry discount she offered us — we ended up saving a lot of money which was already covered her expenses . We’re so happy with how everything turned out and so thankful for all the care and effort Tamara put into making our home feel perfect.

Jenny was great to work with and took the time to get to know me a little and my style likes and dislikes to narrow down selections and put together an amazing mood board. She happily answered my many questions about her fee and made me feel comfortable about the process.

We recently engaged Jane to provide interior and exterior design services for our house. This includes designing kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms, choosing all fittings and furniture throughout the house (inside and outside). Jane is wonderful to deal with. Very responsive, professional and flexible. We are delighted with the results and would highly recommend Jane.

I am getting ready to put my 4 bedroom home on the market and desperately needed help refurnishing the Livingroom. With her wonderful sense of style, Tonia has helped me fully furnish and accessorise the Living Room, as well as adding special touches needed in the other rooms throughout the rest of the house. While Tonia is professional and has great attention to detail, she is warm and very easy to work with. I am delighted to have found her.

Tonia was great to work with. We were not necessarily the easiest of costumers, and we came with opinions and thoughts, and she was able to navigate things well and provide us with what we wanted while advising on what we needed (and did not necessarily know). There is much knowledge that goes into space, distance, proximity, pragmatism and comfort within design, not just what looks good, and Tonia balances both aspects of looks and function incredibly well. Highly recommended.

Working with Tonia has been an absolute delight. She is attentive, professional, great communication, and has an incredible attention to detail. I am very happy with her service so far, and look forward to continuing to work with her as my styling and renovation journey progresses. I highly recommend Tonia from An Interior Thing to assist anyone in creating a beautifully styled living space to call home.

This was the first time we engaged an interior designer and so we weren't quite sure what to expect and did speak to quite a few initially. Tonia was really easy to deal with and quick to respond from the very beginning and also patient with us while we waited for our new place to by ready. She took her time to understand what we wanted and then put together a plan that followed the brief really well. She was also flexible in doing multiple iterations at times to make sure we ended up with something we really loved. We love the end result and she also saved us a good amount of money but getting us access to better prices on things. I would happily recommend her services to anyone.

FAQs

An interior designer in Melbourne typically holds formal qualifications in design and can handle structural changes, space planning, renovation coordination and full project management. An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetic side, selecting colours, furnishings and accessories without altering the layout of a space. If your Melbourne project involves renovations or reconfiguring rooms, an interior designer is usually the better choice. For cosmetic updates, a decorator may be all you need.
