Beautiful spaces that tell a story
Spaces layered with memory, craftsmanship and character - where old and new sit comfortably together and every detail feels considered. Guided by intuition and a respect for place, we create interiors that are as liveable as they are beautiful; homes with depth, warmth and a sense of belonging.
From her studio on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Janelle works closely with clients to create spaces that reflect how they truly live. Drawing on over a decade of experience in the UK and Europe, she brings a considered balance of heritage, craftsmanship and modern ease to every project - creating homes that are quietly luxurious and deeply personal.
Testimonials
“Working with Janelle was easy and rewarding. I had a good idea of what I wanted to achieve but was unsure how to get there. Janelle brought order and calm to the process. She took time to understand what I wanted and turned this into a workable plan with great visuals and mood boards. Not only competent and professional, Janelle is fun to work with too.”

“We first met Janelle back in 2014 when she was working on the restoration of a gentlemen’s residence and had instructed us as the kitchen provider. Janelle’s understanding of construction combined with her design skills and love of food (she was also Kitchen Editor for the UK publication Food Magazine) meant the project ran smoothly and looked amazing. Since then, our relationship has grown and her honest, easy-going nature means she is not just a client and colleague but also a friend. She is greatly missed here in the UK but we can’t wait to see her work down under!”

“Janelle is truly a remarkable designer with a keen understanding of where her clients are and what it takes to help clients articulate and realise their vision. Janelle has an uncanny ability to visualise and help hone in on options that align with the client’s values, interests, and pleasure. Janelle did a magnificent job designing our kitchen at home, including picking out finishes. I recommend Janelle with full confidence that she will deliver on time and within budget.”
