Materials Magic: Finishes that flow. Choices that last.
Design a timeless, cohesive palette with clarity, confidence, and expert support.
Choosing finishes should be fun — but it’s often one of the most overwhelming and high-stakes parts of building or renovating a home. One wrong decision on colour, material or texture can throw off your entire vision — or lead to costly rework down the track.
Materials Magic is a one-on-one, design-led session that helps you refine your interior palette with the guidance of Melissa Bonney — Creative Director of The Designory and one of Australia’s most trusted design minds. With over 20 years of experience across residential interiors, building design, and styling, Melissa will help you cut through the noise, avoid common mistakes, and create a curated scheme that’s both beautiful and functional.
Whether you’re making your very first selections or doing a final check before you sign off with your builder, this session is your shortcut to a confident, cohesive material and finish selection process — one that reflects your style, enhances your home, and supports your budget.

Why It Matters
Finishes are where your home comes to life — and where even small decisions can have lasting impact. We don’t just consider what looks good today. We think about flow, function, wear, and future resale value — all through the lens of timeless design and personalised living.
Melissa brings a rare blend of aesthetic instinct, construction knowledge and project delivery experience — which means you’ll get a materials palette that doesn’t just look great in a flat lay, but truly works in your real life.
