INTERIOR DESIGN YOUR WAY

G’day - I’m really glad you’re here.

I’m Lauren, an interior designer based in Mackay, Queensland, Australia, and I specialise in creating efficient, beautifully resolved spaces that make everyday life easier.

Whether it’s a kitchen that finally works the way you need it to, a bathroom that feels like a retreat, or a laundry that’s organised and effortless, I help you get there without the overwhelm.

Your home or workplace should feel like you. Not a template, not a trend, and definitely not a beige box designed for resale value. The most meaningful interiors are the ones that reflect the people who live in them — their quirks, their memories, their rhythms, their joy.

I believe in creating spaces that tell

your story.

It’s about designing with intention, choosing pieces that resonate, and shaping rooms that feel calm, grounded, and unmistakably yours.

From reimagining floor plans to selecting finishes, furnishings, and designing bespoke joinery, the aim is to create spaces that feel warm, intentional, and connected to the people who inhabit them.

Whether you already have a strong vision or need help from the ground up, I can assist throughout the process.

“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

I love helping people transform their lives through thoughtful and sustainable interior design.

Over 20 years ago I studied Interior Design at QUT in Brisbane. I met some great people. We studied design, history, sustainability, materials, ergonomics, furniture design, technical drawing and even some physics.

After gaining valuable work experience and travelling in Europe, I came home to Mackay to be close to family. I enjoy re-designing spaces to help people live their busy lives more efficiently and joyfully.

Most of all, I love hearing your story and creating a space that reflects your uniqueness.

  • "After downsizing from a large family home to a marina view apartment, it quickly became evident I needed more structure and storage to fully appreciate the move. I contacted Lauren to design full length built in wall storage units and media spaces. Her understanding of my needs and vision was clear from the initial consultation, and the end result was perfect for the space."

  • "... Lauren has saved us money and time - we haven't had to purchase multiple paint pots and we've been able to resolve our differences of opinion about how to update our home because we trust her judgement and defer to her greater knowledge and expertise. ”
