INTERIOR DESIGN
Impactful finishes and bold colour choices were the foundations of a transformed Inner West semi in Sydney. The clients had partnered with an architect to redesign the overall footprint, which involved removing an existing small addition and creating a voluminous open plan living and upper level with master suite and study/second living zone. New finishes and joinery detail infused personality into the home, including the addition of stylish banquette seating. While unique furniture and decor pieces with boundless texture and colourful hues were thoughtfully incorporated to reflect the clients’ love of bright, joy-filled spaces.

"Creative architectural options can be limited for an Inner West semi but we were certain that we did not want a white box stacked on a white box and this is where Josie stepped in. Armed with boundless textural and colour palette options for our interiors, Josie guided us expertly to find the courage to say yes to impactful finishes and bold colour choices. Beyond aesthetics, tweaks made to our original plans have made a world of difference to the functionality of our house and maximised every inch of our footprint.
The first thing you will notice about Josie is her big, genuine smile and we appreciated her energy throughout our renovation. Our house is full of colour and features that we admire daily. Sometimes we needed a little push to get us over the 'conservative line' but we always felt as though our preferences were the top priority and valued her guiding hand on the 'let's do it' moments. Professional, prompt, open and honest, Josie is not only a master of colour and style but also a genuinely wonderful person to work with!
