“I recently had the pleasure of working with Melissa as a consultant on a 10 house development in Byron Bay. Mel is not only a designer, she has a deep knowledge of the entire building and development process from start to finish! She was a true professional - listening attentively to our needs, offering expert advice, and bringing our vision to life with creativity and flair. She was often ou r life line when needed! The end result is a beautiful, functional, and cohesive space that exceeds our expectations. She has a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of colour, texture, and light, and a passion for creating spaces that are both aesth etically pleasing and tailored to her clients’ lifestyles. We can’t recommend highly enough. If you’re looking for a designer who is so much more, look no further! ”
“A consult with Melissa = clarity and creative design solutions (that you would not have come up with on your own). I had Melissa come to my home for a design consultation. She helped me create clarity around our renovations, all the while making sure it was aligned to our family’s needs and the way we live, as well as tie in with our existing style. Not always an easy ask! At the end of the consultation I felt heard and understood in what I was wanting and armed with new found clarity (and trust in my own choices). Not your typical designer approach and I loved that so much! If you’re looking for clarity or help with your interior design ideas, around a renovation, styling or new build, I highly recommend Melissa. She’s highly professional yet wonderfully personable and if I could hire her for my entire project I would! ”
“Mel at The Designory is fantastic! We had her over to brainstorm our kitchen renovation, and she blew us away. She brought fresh, innovative ideas for the layout and products that we hadn’t even considered. What’s more, she showed us smart ways to save money without sacrificing quality, and her suggestions will definitely add value to our home. Highly recommend!”
“I am absolutely in love with the work Melissa did in transforming my liv ing space! Her expertise in furniture selection and placement is truly exceptional. She took the time to understand my personal style and preferences, and together we created a cohesive and functional space sourcing antiques and modern pieces for my home. The vintage pieces chosen are not only beautiful but also incredibly timeless and durable. Melissa is a master of her craft, and I highly recommend her mentorship to anyone looking to elevate their home’s interior. ”
