From Empty House to Dream Home: Full Furnishing Services for Melbourne’s Bayside Clients

Furnishing solutions Melbourne

Moving into a new home is exciting — but furnishing it beautifully can feel overwhelming. From selecting sofas and rugs to sourcing lighting, artwork, and accessories, it takes time and expertise to transform an empty house into a warm, luxurious home.

At Erica Fanning Interiors, we specialise in complete furnishing and styling solutions for high-end clients across Melbourne’s bayside suburbs. Whether you’ve purchased a newly built home in Brighton, a heritage residence in Sandringham, or a coastal retreat on the Mornington Peninsula, our goal is to create interiors that are as sophisticated as they are comfortable — and perfectly tailored to your lifestyle.

Why Choose a Full Furnishing Service?

Many clients come to us with the same challenge: they don’t want to spend months shopping for furniture, coordinating deliveries, or worrying about whether each piece will work together. With a full furnishing service, we handle every detail — from concept through to final styling — ensuring your investment results in a cohesive, timeless interior.

Our approach means:

  • Time saved: no more endless weekends spent in showrooms.

  • Confidence in quality: access to premium suppliers and trade-only sources.

  • Cohesive design: every piece chosen to complement the architecture, palette, and flow of your home.

  • Move-in ready luxury: when you step through the door, your home is complete.

How We Curate Your Home

A well-furnished home is about more than just “filling a space.” It’s about layering textures, colours, and forms that work seamlessly together. Here’s how we bring it to life:

1. Colour Consulting

The right colour palette forms the backdrop for every furnishing decision.

  • We use Dulux Natural White™, Dulux Lexicon® Quarter, and other carefully selected tones to enhance light and space in Melbourne homes.

  • Our colour consulting ensures walls, trims, and furnishings harmonise for a timeless result.

  • We also love to use wallpapers. Wallpaper is such a beautiful way to add character, interest and texture to any space (and its not the same wall paper you may remember from decades ago). We commonly use grasscloth which is a standout product every time.

2. Sourcing  Furniture

  • For contemporary coastal and Hamptons-inspired looks, we often source from Satara — known for its natural textures and high-end finishes.

  • Pottery Barn offers elegant Hamptons-style sofas, cabinetry, and lighting that work beautifully in bayside interiors.

  • We also work with local Australian makers and bespoke joiners to deliver one-of-a-kind pieces.

3. Layering with Textiles and Accessories

  • Custom rugs, cushions, and upholstery bring softness and warmth to a space.

  • We source from premium custom rug makers such as The Rug Establishment and International Floor Covering, ensuring each rug is the right scale, colour, and texture for the room.

  • Statement lighting, curated artwork, and décor accessories then add personality while maintaining balance, completing the layered look.

4. Final Styling

Erica ensures every detail — from furniture placement to art installation — is perfectly executed so your home feels finished the moment you move in.

Designed for Bayside Living

The Melbourne bayside lifestyle calls for interiors that balance elegance with relaxation. Open-plan layouts, indoor-outdoor entertaining, and a coastal atmosphere are at the heart of how we design. By carefully blending timeless furniture, soft coastal palettes, and refined detailing, we create homes that feel as comfortable for daily living as they do for entertaining guests.
