Hi & welcome to the wonderful world of interiors! I recently found this quote from Maya Angelou and thought it summed up beautifully my approach to design: My mission in life (and in my case, design!) is not to merely survive but to do so with passion, some compassion, some humour and some style! I focus on creating beautifully crafted homes with loads of personality, that are visually rich, and easy to live in. I’m passionate about colour, textiles, really gorgeous and hard to find items for the home and I think it is essential that the result reflects the client’s lifestyle, preferences and aspirations. Background I started Sartorial Interiors in 2008 after being made redundant from the corporate world and I saw it as a sign to begin my own business in an area I was passionate about! I had a Bachelor of Arts, I’d done studies in interior design and had been painting artworks since 1998 so it was as though fate pushed me past the fear factor to launch and build a design practice. I’m so glad I did: I haven’t looked back! Fast forward to today: I’m a busy mum of two, done two renovations of my own, so I understand what it’s like for my clients facing change in their homes. I get that it can feel scary & overwhelming – both aesthetically and financially – I’m here to help! Not only will I put together the perfect design for you, I will be there all the way through the project to the fluffing of the cushions at the end! About how I work I love listening to my clients and their vision & get a huge thrill out of achieving that with them. I really care about each project and always aim for the best possible outcome. It’s a buzz watching them take their tentative first steps in changing their home, loving those results and then diving in for more! I like to gently push my clients a little outside their comfort zone as this often results in even better results...magic, in fact! I’m addicted to trade shows and industry events and can’t wait to share what I’ve seen and learnt with my clients. I’m always on the lookout for beautiful, unique pieces and love finding a range of products at different price points. While I’m based in Sydney’s inner west, I travel all over for my clients. And it doesn't matter what size your project is: from some soft furnishings for the bedroom through to the whole house I'm here for you. I can’t wait to meet you and begin the beautification journey with you!

We employed Sartorial Interiors to come up with a design for our master suite with ensuite and walk through robe. Monique was fantastic, she really understood our brief and came up with a great design plan which hit the brief 100%. The design touches were fantastic with some really clever and cost effective touches to give us something really unique. Other great benefits of using Sartorial Interiors was that all items were sourced by Monique and we had access to some great tradespeople to do the work making the whole process stress free. I will definitely be using Monique again.

I spent a long time meeting with a variety of different designers and was just about to give up when I met Monique. Her ability to interpret my requirements and turn them into a magnificently (and extremely accurate!!) concept, full of ideas that suited my lifestyle, really did take all of the stress out of each phase of my project. If she’s willing, I’ll have her onboard for advice and fulfillment of all of my future projects!

I absolutely loved working with Sartorial Interiors and was thrilled with the result. Monique made me feel really comfortable right from our first meeting. She completely 'got' what I was looking to do, was willing to work within my budget, and came back with designs that were fantastic, and pushed my thinking beyond the normal. Monique also went above and beyond in the delivery phase, making sure things arrived, even collecting a package left outside while I was interstate herself and taking it home! I feel like I actually spent less money to get a much better outcome than I ever would have been able to achieve myself - couldn't recommend Sartorial highly enough!

I engaged Sartorial Interiors services as we moved houses and I decided to fully redecorate. I started to feel overwhelmed about starting from scratch and wanting to finalise it quickly. Monique has clear communication and is a good listener which to me is very important. She listened to the brief and proposed an amazing design that my daughter and husband also approved. Monique was always accomodating to my change requests and adapted the concept as needed but I have to say the best result was achieved in my daughter’s room where we went all out with Monique’s recommendations. I highly recommend Monique’s professionalism and style.

Monique is a true professional. I was amazed at how she brought together all of my “wants” to deliver a beautiful space I love coming home to. I had pieces and furniture I dearly cherished but wanted to move away from the colours and Monique integrated them perfectly and respectfully in the new design. I’m grateful she found ways to accommodate for the functionality I required for a young family and deliver a style that spoke to my personality, aesthetic and comfort. It was a pleasure working with you, and thanks for creating a beautiful space to make beautiful memories.

Monique was outstanding. The Asylum Seekers Centre (ASC) in Newtown, is a community Centre supporting people seeking asylum living in the community. We employed Monique to design and revamp a large communal hall space used by the people we support to enjoy a daily lunch service, relax, socialise and feel welcome whilst awaiting the outcome of their visa application. Monique utilised the space efficiently, yet with warmth, colour and flare! She stuck to the brief and budget and timeline. Nothing was too much trouble. Monique's vivacious personality and humour is infectious. We would recommend her highly to any prospective clients

I recently engaged the services of Monique from Sartorial Interiors. One word comes to mind "WOW" , Monique transformed a very nice guest room into a room you would find in a five star hotel . Very happy with the end result and I would highly recommend the services of Sartorial Interiors, Thanks again Monique.

Monique is a delight. We live in a Victorian home and Monique managed to be sympathetic to the period while giving the decor a contemporary edge. So far she has transformed our ordinary family room into WOW! She has a wonderful sense of colour and space and was extremely patient with my indecisiveness. Monique was also receptive to using items important to us within the decor. We are now working on another room and I cannot wait to see the end result!

We returned from overseas to live in our house which had been rented for eight years. As expected it was looking rather shabby and we struggled coordinatimg the bits and pieces we had accumulated. I was attracted to Monique’s business because she had a clear schedule of fees on her web site and had experience with a range of project types and budgets. We started the process from the U.K. because I didn’t want to be living with half made and executed plans that I would end up only half liking. In short, our house has had an incredible transformation. It’s a joy to live in, look at and we get so many compliments. It’s fun, smart but not “untouchable” and planned to make our collection of electric memorabilia look like unique treasures! I had some vague notions which Monique translated perfectly into specifics. She had a ton of other ideas which she incoporated into a fantastic coherent whole. She even retained some of our furniture and even transformed some other bits spectacularly to keep to our budget. I wish everyone could see it! She recommended fabulous trades people when we didn’t have our own, some great “juzzying” tips and found creative ways around what we thought would be problems and which... well... weren’t! Monique has lots of energy, communicates exceptionally well and was a joy to work with. Highly recommended.

Monique has been fantastic, and I wish I had engaged her earlier. I was worried that if I employed a stylist I would be railroaded into spending more than I wanted, or pushed beyond my comfort zone. This was not the case at all. Monique has been flexible and understanding every step of the way. I live in the country and Monique arranged for all the new furniture to be transported. I am so happy with the job. We are now embarking on a bathroom together.
