Our Services

If you’re planning a renovation or new build and starting to feel overwhelmed by just how many decisions you need to make, you’re not alone.

You might already:

  • Have a builder asking questions you’re not ready for
  • Be saving images, but struggling to make it all work together
  • Feel unsure about layouts, lighting, or how everything will actually come together
  • Be quietly worried about getting it wrong and having to live with it

Because the reality is, most renovation mistakes don’t come down to budget. Engaging a designer isn’t about adding “nice-to-have” finishes, it’s about making every design decision count.

We help you make the right decisions, in the right order so your home feels considered, cohesive, and entirely yours.

Not rushed.

Not pieced together.

Not second-guessed.

I'm Ready
      • This is for you if:

        • You’re planning a renovation or new build
        • You want your home to feel layered, thoughtful, and well resolved
        • You care about design, but don’t want to second-guess every decision
        • You’re working with (or about to engage) a builder
        • You want clarity before construction begins
      • What you’ll walk away with

        • A clear, considered plan your builder can actually work from
        • Confidence in every decision, no second-guessing
        • A home that feels cohesive, not like a collection of individual choices
        • The details resolved early not on site under pressure
        • A finished result that feels like it’s evolved over time, not rushed into place
      • Family kitchen in Newtown featuring deep green cabinetry, rachel donath stools, andstriped tiled splashback by Nikki McGar Interiors.
      • Bedroom design in Wallington by Nikki McGar Interiors with a custom bedhead and soft layered linens.
      • Modern living room design with blue walls, green Molmic sofa, statement art, and Oblica fireplace
      • Phase 1 Concept & Direction

        We establish the overall vision, layout and feel of your home. This is about making sure we’re on the right track before any detailed decisions are made.

      • Phase 2 Design Development & Documentation

        This is where everything is resolved; materials, lighting, joinery, layouts and documented clearly so your builder can execute it properly.

      • Phase 3 Construction Support

        If needed, I remain involved during the build to ensure the design is carried through as intended, supporting your builder, resolving details, and keeping everything aligned.

      Why this matters

      The earlier these decisions are made, the better the outcome.

      Once construction begins, many of the most important elements are already locked in and changes become costly, stressful, and often compromised.

      This isn’t about creating something that looks good in photos.

      It’s about creating a home that feels effortless to live in and completely yours.

      Ready to get started?

      The first step is an in-home consultation, where we walk through your space, your plans, and what you’re hoping to achieve.

      From there, I’ll prepare a detailed scope of work and proposal tailored to your project.
