Interior Design and Decorating Project | McMahons Point, Sydney
My Decorator recently completed a residential interior design and decorating project for a city apartment in McMahons Point, Sydney. The brie was to create a cohesive, spacious and functional home that felt calm, contemporary and perfectly suited apartment living.
The apartment had a beautiful view out onto some big old gum trees. The trees would often house native birds that we often got to see when on site working.
We set to work designing the space based on our clients brief. Our colour scheme recommendation was inspired by both the natural outlook and my client’s personal colour preferences. The design we proposed for her space was contemporary with a serene light and relaxed spacious feel.

We spent the time collating furniture, rug, art, fabric recommendations. We put this all together in a Design Plan that we presented and chatted through. On approval we moved forward with implementation which included trips to suppliers, working with our soft furnishings specialist to design and install curtains and finally styling the rooms with decor items, cushions, plants etc… to achieve the end result. We had our Art Installer in attendance on Styling Day so that the room was fully complete and ready to be enjoyed by our client.
A open timber bookshelf was recommended to be a divider between the entry and lounge area of the apartment. This would be used to provide both some privacy and visual interest on arrival. Stylish designer lounges were chosen due to their striking design line, linen natural look upholstery and comfort. Art was the bridge that merged all the items together, with its soft colour palette and muted abstract style. The soft floor rug added some solid print yet echoed the colour palette of the artwork. Lamps were key to adding ambience in the evenings and an element of sculpture during the day. A stone top coffee table was chosen to keep the room feeling open and spacious.
The dining table in a mid tone timber coordinates beautifully with the tan upholstery on the dining chairs. This creates a comfortable chair for dining in or if more seating is needed when entertaining. These chairs can be moved to the lounge area of the apartment to provide extra seating.

This is what our lovely client had to say about working with us:
‘Engaging a designer was a completely new experience for me moving from a very big family house to a one-bedroom apartment. From my very first contact with Prue she was easily my choice, friendly, approachable and upfront with how it all works and what to expect. Prue 100% listened and delivered on everything I asked for, and more. She had the vision and gently encouraged me every step of the way. She measured, shopped and styled. I love everything, the layout, the colours, the feel and can’t believe what a difference she has made to the detailed work involved and the final beautiful ambience of my new home. I highly recommend her’. Gael, McMahons Point.
