Artistic & Intuitive Melbourne Interior Designer With Focus On Colour

page_type: prop_plus_profile

Do it once; do it well. At GDP Interior Design, we sift through the vast trends and design choices on offer today to match the right products and selections with our clients. We focus on supporting our clients with informed decisions along the way, to achieve beautiful, personalized spaces. With technical and aesthetic expertise, we take pleasure in learning new ways to improve and tailor interiors. We believe that project outcomes should reflect you and your local environment; not your design firm! At GDP Interior Design we begin by addressing spatial flow, then functionality and ultimately by decoration. Decoration is not just purchasing colour coordinated homewares! It is selecting essentials and weaving colour, pattern and texture into each element from floor up. This achieves a rich, layered ambience. It is also the careful editing of your belongings. Sentimental items can and should be part of your design. Our experience and expertise covers everything from floor planning, custom builds, renovations, procurement and even Art commissions! Being a fine artist, Giulianna {GDP} has an astute sense of colour as it relates to personality. She is passionate about all things colour, design and ultimately; matching clients to their homes.

Cannot thank Giulianna enough for her help with our renovation. Very knowledgable and great sense of style. She gave us confidence in our colours and furnishing choices and put us in contact with various trades. Couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend!

We worked with Giulianna on our domestic reno project and found her to be brilliant. It is fair to say I am a demanding customer with high expectation yet I was impressed with how well Giulianna grasped what we wanted and professionalism with which she delivered the project. She came up with great original ideas, provided plenty of visual material to ensure we were on the same page and delivered on time. She has a rather thorough approach, something you don't find that often. I feel our home is truly unique and reflective of our family. Thank you Giuls!

Giulianna has the perfect blend of creative flair, functional design thinking and strong project management. We initially engaged GDP Interior Design to design our new bathroom and ensuite (built by Baulch Services) and had such a fantastic experience that we also engaged them to consult on the refresh of the upstairs of our home (flooring choices, paint consultation and general theming). I will continue to engage Giulianna into the future. She really took the effort to get to know us, our preferences and how we use our spaces and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Giulianna took my 'blank canvas' rooms and transformed them into sophisticated and inviting spaces. Her excitement, passion and dedication to her work is infectious and inspired. She elevated my existing pieces of furniture and effortlessly worked in pieces that i loved into her designs. I look forward to working with Giulianna on future projects.

It was so nice to work with you to create some ambience in your entertaining areas. It was good fun working with your feature colours and adding art to connect the dots. Can’t wait to pop in and photograph the spaces... Giulianna

Guilianna is very professional, easy to engage with and offers that little bit extra that you don't expect along with reasonable pricing. Her sense of calm and straightforward thinking is a credit to her in this very busy work versus me time world. She has an eye for colour, style and placement but also has a great network of supportive suppliers and contractors to compliment the whole project. Guillianna will use your existing styling but will enhance it in a subtle way and will provide you with a Mood Board for new ideas, pieces, aspects and is capable of more complex retro's as well. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again as I have had two projects she has assisted me with and I am more than happy with both outcomes.

We contracted Giulianna from GDP Interior Design to design our kitchen for us. Our site meetings were great, as she helped us to work through the best use of space before providing an initial kitchen concept. Further site visits ensured all details were to our specifications and she also provided us with samples for all our kitchen materials, so we could select our design features from home. Giulianna also organised for full CAD drawings and specification to be completed, such that our builder could easily quote for the work. Giulianna was wonderful to work with, she took on board all of our requirements and aesthetics and came up with an amazing kitchen design for us, we absolutely could not have done it without her and would highly recommend her services!

Thank you Katherine for your kind review and recommendation. The kitchen looks really great, and your builder did a wonderful job. I look forward to our next stage of renovation, the ensuite!

Giulianna was contracted to help us with both the internal and external colour schemes of our home and investment property. She is approachable and accommodating. Saved us a lot of time and cost in having to try out colours. She also took away the stress of differing opinions. Great service & highly recommended. Thanks Giulianna.

We had been on hold to complete a full home renovation for several years. Once everything was aligned we were so happy Giuliana was able to work within our crazy timeline. She was able to find our style, via our collection of ideas and likes. She then created options in colour, kitchen, laundry, butlers pantry and bathroom design. Selecting for 2-3 options was so much easier and added to the project speed. She has a great nature and eye for detail, especially colour! We are still putting the final touches to our home but we can’t believe we actually live in it! We thank Giuliana for all her emails, texts and time and being the voice of reason, which was needed a few times! Planning on using Giuliana to help with more projects down the road - she is a gem and worth the investment !!

Comment from GDP Interior Design:

Hi Cinzia,
Thank you for the kind review! I am so glad that we were able to get such a good flow from the existing rooms and styling, through to the new areas. It can be tricky to modernise homes with period elements but it definitely works and still has loads of charm.

It was also a pleasure to work with your own trades, they did such high quality work and were happy to liase with me too! Look forward to the next cuppa at yours... and some "after" shots!

Worked with pro

We commenced collaborating with services of GDP Interior Design almost 12 months & can not believe the value their services have brought to our renovations. GDP Interior work alongside all our customers to detail every aspect their renovation. This includes an initial in-home visit to obtain a feel of the project aspirations & space available. GDP then define layout options, fixtures & fittings & tile layouts for selected layouts. Completing the design & planning process by documenting every detail within CAD. We then work closely with GDP during the build process to transform these designs into reality. We could not imagine renovating without the expertise of GDP Interior Design & highly recommend their services.

Giulianna's advise was great ultimately save us time and money. All the trades were organised by her which made it easy for us. We are very happy with the end result.

Comment from GDP Interior Design:

Thank you Andrew,
Your home was the perfect candidate for a furniture move around; swapping the lounge and dining rooms entirely. Whilst we did add beautiful new pieces, the greatest improvement is the flow related to room purpose. Thanks again for the great review.

Giulianna helped us to furnish some difficult window spaces in our home. Her suggestions for the window coverings and soft furnishings were not only perfect but practical. Our rooms now feel warm and cosy. Giulianna listened carefully to our needs and style to create these warm spaces. We would recommend her professional services to anyone looking for a little help to style a space.

I'm so pleased you went with a bit of colour, and that the window furnishings didn't detract from the pretty leadlight!

It is with great pleasure that I write this review for Giulianna - GDP Interior Design. I wanted to update my lounge room and dining area. Giulianna viewed and took photos of lounge and dining area, her advise, expertise and finding clever ways and style choosing furniture, colours, artwork was very helpful. Her knowledge and professionalism and the ability to combine and incorporate everything I asked in an affordable way within my budget. Had a great experience and would recommend her everyone.

We really enjoyed working with GDP Interior Design on our project. We are doing a major renovation and the assistance with concepts, color and product ideas were invaluable. GPD was very flexible, providing the exact services we needed, ensuring our budget was not wasted on those areas we were happy to manage ourselves. Giulianna herself is down to earth, practical but highly creative. We definitely recommended her services.

GDP and Giuliana turned our dated house into a fresh, stylish and contemporary home. Our expectations were exceeded at every stage! Giuliana created a beautiful kitchen which is perfectly balanced within the space. She used timber products, concrete, matt whites and a gorgeous splash of green. She helped us to maximise our floorplan by creating flow within our home and maximising its indoor-outdoor connectivity. She bespoke designed our entertainment cabinetry; created a built in study nook; designed our bathroom and laundry; searched tirelessly for the perfect tiles; selected paint colours, all of our accessories and most of our furnishings; and helped to project manage the whole job. Engaging GDP was one of the best desicions we've ever made.

Giulianna at GDP provided brilliant advice for all aspects of our new house project including outside colours, interior colours and finishes, floors, cabinetry, furniture and artwork. The design ideas she assembled took on board our own likes and preferences and moulded them into a polished and professional look that we are now enjoying. As clients, we know what we like but would struggle to achieve that "magazine look" that is so desirable, so working with GDP was a real joy.

Giulianna came to my house to give advice on colours for the interior. I immediately felt confident that she listened to what I would like and she presented a colour scheme that I love. My house has now been painted all the way through, including the kitchen cupboards. Giulianna also offered some great ideas for bedroom wallpaper to fit in with current furnishings. When I sent photos of the completed painting and hung wallpaper, Giulianna has offered further ideas to help style the rooms, going above and beyond the original consultation.
