Insights from a Melbourne interior designer: how to furnish your holiday home

Owning a holiday home in Sydney, the Gold Coast, or Melbourne is all about relaxing, enjoying beautiful views, and having a space to unwind. But turning that dream home into a stylish, comfortable retreat can feel like a lot to manage. That’s where I come in.

As an experienced residential interior designer in Melbourne working across Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast, I help holiday home owners like you create spaces that are beautiful, functional, and stress-free. Whether you’re after a sleek coastal hideaway, a laid-back getaway, or a chic city escape, I handle everything—from design to installation—so you can just enjoy the space.

How to furnish a holiday home without the hassle

Furnishing a holiday home isn’t just about picking beautiful furniture (although that’s definitely part of it!). It’s about creating a space that feels welcoming, luxurious, and easy to maintain. I source high-quality holiday home furniture that’s stylish, durable, and suited to your lifestyle, so your home not only looks incredible but functions effortlessly.

With trusted cabinet makers, builders, electricians, and suppliers in Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Melbourne, I can oversee the entire process, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

A seamless process for interstate clients

Even though I’m based in Geelong, I work with clients all over Australia, making the process seamless no matter where your home is located. With regular communication via FaceTime, phone, and email, I keep you in the loop without the need for constant site visits.

I’ve built a trusted network of skilled cabinet makers, builders, electricians, and premium suppliers across these locations, ensuring every detail is executed to the highest standard. From sourcing to installation, I take care of everything—so your holiday home is beautifully furnished and ready to enjoy.

Why invest in professional holiday home furnishing?

A well-designed holiday home isn’t just a luxury—it’s an investment. Whether you’re using it for personal escapes or high-end holiday rentals, a professionally furnished space adds value, comfort, and a polished aesthetic that guests (and you!) will love.
