Why We Share What We Know
At The Designory, we’ve never believed that great design should be kept behind closed doors. From day one, our mission has been simple: to educate, empower and inspire homeowners to create spaces that truly reflect how they want to live.
After working on over 400 residential projects across Australia, we’ve seen it all — the challenges, the wins, the costly mistakes, and the design breakthroughs. And we know that for most people, navigating a build or renovation can feel overwhelming, confusing, and out of reach.
That’s why we’re so passionate about sharing what we’ve learned. Because we believe you deserve access to the same insights, tools, and strategies that the professionals use — whether you’re working with a designer or going it alone.
Mondays with Mel is part of that mission. It's where we take our experience out of the studio and into the real world — answering your questions, demystifying the process, and giving you honest, practical advice that can save you time, stress, and serious budget blowouts.
This isn’t just about making homes look good. It’s about helping you feel good — confident, informed, and capable at every step of the journey.
