Interior Decorators – Western Australia

Why work with a professional interior decorator in WA?

Western Australia’s scale and varied climate create unique design considerations. From the subtropical humidity of the Kimberley to Perth’s Mediterranean summers, finishes and colours must cope with temperature swings, coastal salt and intense UV. A qualified interior decorator understands these conditions, local suppliers and freight logistics, helping you avoid costly mistakes and achieve a cohesive, durable look. They also stay on top of the National Construction Code so that fabric selections, wall linings and window treatments meet fire-safety and acoustic standards for both residential and commercial spaces.

Popular WA style directions

• Coastal Minimalism – Bleached timbers, sandy linens and soft blues reflect the state’s 12,000 km of coastline.
• Urban Heritage – Exposed brick, pressed-metal ceilings and repurposed jarrah honour Fremantle and Perth heritage homes.
• Outback Luxe – Earthy palettes, polished concrete and statement stone bring the Pilbara’s red soil indoors.
• Contemporary Indigenous Motifs – Collaboration with First Nations artists introduces authentic patterns and storytelling.

Core services you can expect

A WA decorator’s scope can be as broad or as precise as your project demands:

• Concept development and mood boards
• Furniture, art and accessory sourcing (local & international)
• Colour scheduling and paint specification
• Custom joinery and soft-furnishing design
• Lighting layout in consultation with lighting designers
• Project coordination with trades and builders
• Styling for property staging or photography

Budget & timeframes

Fee structures vary. Many WA decorators offer:

• Hourly consultation – Ideal for quick refreshes; expect AUD 120–250/hr.
• Fixed-fee packages – Room-by-room or full-home pricing gives cost certainty.
• Percentage of spend – Typically 10–20 % of the furnishing budget on large commercial fit-outs.

Lead times can range from four weeks for a single living area to six months or more for a full-scale hospitality venue, particularly if custom furniture is fabricated interstate.
