We are delighted to present one of our recent interior design projects—a major renovation of a large family home. In this project, we had the pleasure of working with a couple whose children are now in their 20s and no longer live at home. The couple frequently entertain guests and the kitchen serves as a central hub for family get togethers.

Our involvement in the renovation began right from the start, allowing us to design and create a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere throughout the entire home. We took charge of the project as the lead designer and coordinated all the trades involved to ensure a smooth execution. Our scope of work included renovating the ensuite bathroom, family bathroom and separate toilet, a guest bathroom, powder room, media room, study, outdoor kitchen, laundry, kitchen and scullery, master bedroom and living room.

One of the highlights of this renovation was the kitchen, which was seamlessly integrated with the family room and extended into the outdoor living space. This design allowed for easy flow and connectivity between indoor and outdoor entertaining areas.

In line with our clients’ vision, our objective was to create a beautiful and functional space that catered to their frequent entertaining needs. The kitchen was designed to be luxurious and equipped with top-quality appliances. Furthermore, we paid special attention to the coffee aficionados in the family, incorporating a dedicated coffee area. To enhance the entertainment experience, we integrated a bar area complete with a wine fridge and ample space for drink preparation.

We are proud of our collaboration with these clients and the stunning result that we achieved together. The renovated space now embodies their desire for a sophisticated, functional, and inviting atmosphere, where they can host memorable gatherings with family and friends.

About the
Professional

Nicola Manning Design is an experienced award winning interior design practice offering all a full range of interior design services, from new builds, renovations, apartments, small commercial projects and sourcing beautiful interior products.

We take a "no surprises" approach to our project partnership, with clear communication and a proven design process, focusing on three foundation pillars; the design, the budget and the timeline. We feel so grateful to work with a range of wonderful clients on their homes, apartments, beach houses and commercial properties. 

After nearly twenty years in the interior design business, we know great design can not only lift the value of your home, but also enhance the quality and enjoyment of your life. Many people find it difficult to verbalise or explain exactly what they are visualising. Our clients really appreciate that we can take their ideas and help them bring them to fruition.

“I believe your home is not just a financial asset, it should also be your haven. Whether you're building, renovating, downsizing or moving into a different size or style of property, we will help you create beautiful and functional spaces that feel like home”.

We Will:

  • Listen to you and understand what you are wanting to achieve and helping you make it a reality.
  • Present you with a couple of options for you to choose from, rather than having to face the overwhelm of all the choices available on the market.
  • Source products for you that you may not have even realised was available or would be suitable.
  • Be available to answer questions that you or your builder or other tradespeople will have, in a very timely way.
  • Be fully committed to your project and to delivering you the best interior design solutions.
