Let's talk about your home.

Hi, I'm Gely. I help Melbourne families with renovations, custom builds and furnishing. Whether you're planning a whole renovation or pulling your rooms together, we start the same way. No guesswork. No surprises. Just a clear, considered plan for your home and how you live in it.

How we work

How your home comes together.

Every project follows the same thoughtful path. First the concept, the moodboards and selections that set the direction. Then the design, resolved and documented so nothing is left to guesswork. Then we bring it to life. On site with your builder, or layered piece by piece through furnishing.

02 Concept & development

Then we shape the concept together. Moodboards, materials and the feeling of your home, agreed before anything is chosen. Shown here: Estella House.

03 Built on site

Then we bring it to life on site, alongside your builder. Shown here: stone install day at Arthur's House, with Formatt Building.

In their words

Kind words from Melbourne homes.

As complete novices, we really appreciated how clearly everything was explained and how guided we felt throughout the process. It truly felt like a collaborative effort, with Gely taking the time to understand our ideas and helping bring them to life in a way that exceeded our expectations.

She not only gave me advice on pros and cons of design choices, but provided me creative options I hadn't thought about. Gely is a talented interior designer and one to watch out for.

Gely was very patient, listened to our feedback, and presented us with ideas we would never have considered. We now have a design plan that is easy for us to implement and we are really excited about it.

Even though I had an idea of what I wanted, Gely was able to transform it into a beautiful design for us to progress with.

Press play

The moment it clicks.

This client already had a design. But doubt crept in, and the renovation went on hold.

So we booked a two hour live session. We modelled her kitchen in 3D, applied colours and materials in real time, and tested her options until it felt right.

By the end she felt confident in her decisions and ready to start her renovation again. Sometimes you don't need a full redesign. You need clarity, and the ability to see your options properly.

Before you book

A few things people ask.

What does an interior designer actually do?

I handle the full design of your space. Spatial planning, materials and finishes, custom joinery, lighting and furnishing. Then I turn it into concepts and drawings your builder can price and build from, so everything is clear and considered before work begins.

How much does an interior designer cost in Melbourne?

It depends on the scope, and I'm upfront about pricing from the first conversation. Projects are staged, from single-room design through to full-home furnishing and renovation, so you can start where it makes sense for your home and budget.

Which areas do you service?

I'm based in Melbourne and work right across the city. Recent projects run from Carlton to Frankston South, and I'm happy to talk about anywhere else.

Do you work on both renovations and new builds?

Yes. Renovations, custom builds and extensions, kitchens and bathrooms, custom joinery, and full-home furnishing and styling.

What happens at the first consultation?

It starts with a complimentary 15 minute call so I can understand your space, your goals and your budget. If it feels like the right fit, I'll explain the most suitable next step and how the process would work from there.
