Hello! As founder of Bearcanvas Interiors I spent more than 27 years immersed in design projects on various design platforms.
I have learnt that behavioural design follows functional design. Behaviour in the way we live creates the briefs for the design and makeovers of homeowners and renters who dream of having a beautiful space to work, live and play.
Bearcanvas Interiors strives to create timeless beautiful spaces. By taking the family's personality, likes and dislikes and the way they move about their day into consideration, I develop concepts to ensure the home is not only comfortable and functional but aesthetically pleasing. All while making luxury an affordable reality in today's world. This is what I love to do!
I can provide guidance for an entirely new space from designing the layout, choosing paint colours, fixtures and fittings, then finishing with furniture and accessories. But you may only need assistance with one or some of these... perhaps only furniture and accessories in an already fabulous space.
Please feel free to phone for a no obligation chat to determine if I can be of assistance to you.
Cheers
Kirsty

I contacted Kirsty after spotting some of her previous projects on Houzz. It was our first ever renovation and she made the whole thing seamless. She designed a stunning ensuite for us, exceeding our expectations with our design brief and advocating for the finished product to be flawless where I might have chickened out on asking tradespeople to return. I highly recommend Kirsty for her eye for detail and the absolute pleasure it was having her project manage the whole thing for us novices.

Thanks Kirsty for guiding us through our recent home renovations at Morningside. From your choice of paint colours to the final decorator touches and accessories, you have helped us rediscover a love for our home and the joy of living easily and gently in it. We appreciated your clear vision, friendly enthusiasm, endless ideas and inspiration, and working within our budget. We cannot recommend you highly enough. Thank you so much.

Kirsty totally transformed my home upstairs from drab to absolutely stunning. Her insight into what I wanted, her attention to detail and her work ethic is incredible. When trying to find an interior designer, Kirsty was the first one I met, and after speaking with her for a few hours, I decided on the spot to hire her. And now I'm so glad I did. Kirsty has given me my dream home. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

My experience with Bearcanvas Interiors was faultless. I did not have a large budget but Kirsty worked her magic. The end result a beautifully decorated apartment, perfect for my life style.
I can not recommend Kirsty enough for her amazing work.

Kirsty was great to work with and clearly demonstrated a wealth of experience. I'm very happy with my new bathrooms, and have already recommended her to others in my personal network.

I was thrilled with the end result of my Bathroom. Renovating a bathroom in an original Queenslander comes with its own set of challenges, but with Kirsty's help, the new bathroom has fresh modern look but integrates perfectly with the 'Queenslander style'.
I also engaged Bear Canvas to help me with the sourcing of fixtures and fittings. This saved me many hours of time, and was well worth the investment.

We contracted Kirsty for the interior design of our commercial showroom. Kirsty showed great energy and creativity for the project and her attention to detail was second to none. Her expertise in colour palettes and patterns is strong and she really knows how to make a space come to life.

We originally approached Kirsty for some advice on how to best style a living area when we were converting a pool room to a living space. It was an area where we had been struggling for ideas for a while, but Kirsty had great vision and easily saw how to best furnish and style the room.
We then consulted with Kirsty again when we upgraded our ensuite and main bathroom. She advised us on everything from the colour scheme and tile choice, right down to the towels and window furnishings.
On all of these projects, Kirsty actively listened to all of our ideas and gave us great advice on how to achieve an outcome that not only suited our home, but also met our budget for each individual area. We have been so happy with the end result of these projects as they blend in beautifully with the rest of the house.
When it came time to sell our home, it was an easy choice to contact Kirsty again for her assistance in styling the house ready for the photos and opens. Kirsty was very detailed in her approach and went above and beyond in ensuring that all areas of our home were presented in their best possible light. Although some of the changes and suggestions she made were quite subtle, we really believe that Kirsty’s input made all the difference in us receiving multiple sale offers.
Kirsty is extremely easy to work with, she is bursting with creative ideas and her vision to see beyond what’s there to improve the appeal and functionality of every area is astounding.
Before we start any work on our new home we will definitely be contacting Kirsty first up to get her valuable ideas and input in creating our new space.

Kirsty waved her magic in styling our home in Norman Park in preparation for sale. Given a very tight time frame, Kirsty worked tirelessly until the job was done. She has an excellent eye for detail and creatively restyled our whole home. Kirsty was mindful of cost in achieving the right outcome for us. All in all, our house looked awesome! Kirsty followed up with helpful and simple ways in which to maintain the look and feel for future home openings. We are happy to say our house sold very quickly.
We would not hesitate in recommending Kirsty at Bearcanvas to anyone wanting their home or office designed and styled.
Thank you a million Kirsty!

Kirsty’s design transformed my study into a really functional space where I can work alongside the kids. The great storage means the study will serve us well as our kids grow up. Thanks Kirsty!

Faced with the prospect of having to sell an empty ex-rental property, Kirsty came to our rescue! Within a week she had inspected the house, sourced furniture, decorations, wall hangings, lamps, knick-knacks etc (things we never would have thought of) and completed a styling beyond our wildest dreams. She also gave us great advice on some simple yet effective tips for tidying up outside the house to present the property in the best possible light to potential buyers.
The house styling looked amazing in the photographs, which in turn led to a great turnout at the first open house. We had three offers after the first open house, and had signed a contract within one week.
Having someone with the vision to turn our vacant property in a warm, inviting home was a huge weight off our minds, and we couldn't have been happier with Kirsty's services.

Commented: what tile used?Hi Stacethedreamer, this is an imported ceramic subway. The glazing on it is fabulous and has a hand finished edge. If you are interested I could look into them for you. Regards Kirsty
