Hi there, we have a team of interior designers that specialise in kitchens and bathrooms, but we can advise on wardrobes too. Please feel free to check out our website, or you can message me directly. nadia.h@bluetea.com.au bluetea.com.au Enjoy your evening!

Could you swap the fridge with the wall oven, going by your photo both fridge and Wall Oven would fit side by side. I would definately have the fridge on the cook top wall and not on the other side of the kitchen. I see by the photo that the timber beam could be in the way, I would speak to your plumber who should have a simple solution on ducting the range hood. A simple one built into a special cabinet above the cooktop can recirculate or be ducted outside by either exposed stainless tube for your industrial/country look or have the ducting boxed in, the ducting can be flexable so no problem avoiding beams.

Hi Renee, I like the space and your furniture. Grey monochromes are very soothing, but need some colour for contrast. Some greenery would provide the life to make it all work. Your main problem is access, and the way the furniture is arranged it makes a small space even smaller by creating a skinny passage to the balcony, basically dead space. Here is my suggestion for a more open furniture arrangement. This provides room for a round dining table without eliminating the buffet. I would suggest a round glass coffee table so your beautiful rug remains the defining point of the lounge area. I would keep the TV on the low unit so it won't block too much of the light. That is also a better viewing height when sitting down. A big leaf pot plant alongside would complete that end and tie it all together. You might think about getting rid of the 3 silver sculptures (hear no evil, see no evil...). Purely decorative objects can easily make a small space seem cluttered, and they steal useful unloading surfaces.

In response Lauren: trying to be succinct and discreet… It’s late September, I’m in Tassie and the Premier announces interstate travel will not recommence until December 16th. Daughter is marrying in Victoria on Jan 8th. With work & Xmas, too few shopping days. Also there are several lead up events, so I need several outfits. I’m slight but well endowed, so shopping is tricky and, because of Covid, several intrastate boutiques have closed. I usually shop in Melbourne anyway. Tell the stylist my go to designer but make it clear I only want alternatives. Had lengthy conversation/email, including measurements and video, about what does and doesn’t work for my body type. I received 1. the name and website of one boutique which didn’t allow returns 2. one dress from a store that said, when I rang, that they told “professional” it wouldn’t fit. 3. the suggestion I try my go to designer. No follow up. Still cross, not so much that it was unsuccessful but that I got nothing from my spend and, importantly, no acknowledgement. I rarely give bad reviews, but I was tempted. Morale: under promise / over deliver because online services live and die by reviews 👆🏻Neither succinct nor discreet, but I like to see young businesses thrive so I’m over sharing. Good luck with it all. And don’t underestimate how important a good, not just interested in minimising tax, accountant will be 😉
